Terrible accident, but why don't we figure out what really happened first before we decide to make rule changes? We have initial reports, but we don't have the final report. As I read through some of the responses I feel this sport might just be too risky for some here. That's not judgment, just a choice each of us must make for ourselves.

I'm not really clear about "there's a display on every stage/squad." Do you mean the scorekeeper's pad or a persons individual phone? If it's the scorekeepers pad how do you set it up to be timer and run practiscore? At our club we try to run it as a turnkey operation in that the squad takes the bucket with the scoring pad and timer and off they go. Nobody has to use their own stuff. I don't work for AMG but am a big fan. We have bought some for our range and they are really slick. Connect the bluetooth up to the pads running PractiScore and at the end of the string the scorekeeper just has to click on the stopwatch icon and the time is imported. It makes things run smoother during a match (is it life changing, no, but smoother is better). We run Steel Challenge matches and when you're behind a rimfire rife getting "hearing" all the shots is sometime difficult. It works on CED but my experience is you need to be really close for some rifles. With the AMG you can put the sensitivity toward high and it will pick up the shots. I also like the fact that you can replace the batteries. Some people don't like that method, and quite honestly I really never had a problem with keeping the CED recharged, but being able to change out batteries works for me.

Tooth, will ROs be required to use their own phones? Does the bluetooth feed into the pad?

Great match and great weather. Really a good time.

Got mine last week. It works really well, I like it.

Peltor EEP-100 with Skull Screw Tips are very good as are the MSA Pro-X's.

Ordered mine May 31. I also wrote them two days ago and have not heard back.

Davsco has the right idea. Practiscore and other advertisements should tell new shooters to leave their stuff in the car until after they check in. When you get a new shooter ask an experienced shooter to accompany them while getting ready. My experience is that usually they're at the match at the invitation of a friend who could serve the role. Most clubs around here have a new shooter's meeting. After that we tell the ROs/SOs if there are new shooters on the squad and they are monitored appropriately. I guess HQ could publish a YouTube video, but it only counts if shooter has seen it. This is an issue that will need to be handled locally.

This guy does great work. IDPA legal holsters. https://rlncustomgear.com/

My experience with this exact bullet matches Sarge's experience. Really good bullets.

I have used CJ for all my CZ work, always a good job. I'm not familiar with the villain package, but if you tell him what the gun is for and he recommends it, that is what I would go with. It seems to me that the 85 trigger provides the most reach reduction, but I could be wrong, CJ will know.

I suspect this has been covered in this forum, so if someone will point it to me I'd appreciate it. New Shadow 1, has had a trigger job, SRT, Competition hammer, etc. All CZ Custom parts. Trigger feels fine in both DA and SA. This is my 5th shadow, but first time this gunsmith worked on one. Safety is too sensitive. if I don't hold my thumb down on it, it will engage while I'm shooting. I need some space so it doesn't engage so easily. Suggestions? Thanks,

CZ Custom is very good. Every interaction with them (parts or gunsmith) has been great.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I've never seen the rubber band on the Mr Bullet Feeder die, does that make the bullets feed more consistently?

Two guns in one match really slows things up. I know people think they're quick in getting ready and then helping out, but they're not as quick as if they just had one gun. Putting all the two gun shooters in one squad helps a little, but the match director still has to wait around for the "special kids" to finish up before he/she can tear down and get back home. The best solution I've seen is in Memphis... anyone who wants to shoot a second gun can do so after the main match.

How did the rubber band help? Where did you put it?

Yes

Thanks guys, I've had it on a samsung charger for 7 hrs. Would you mind sending me the fault isolation steps they sent to you?

OK, here's one for anyone. My shot timer went dead (battery charge). I've plugged it in to an outlet. After a while the numbers show, but when I pick it up the screen goes blank. When I plug it into my computer to try and reflash it, the shotmaxx program doesn't see the shotmaxx as connected. Any suggestions?

Eli, I used the new iOS version of ShotMaxx Trainer along with the latest firmware on the ShotMaxx timer today... much, much improved. Easy to connect, easy to use. I still have suggestions if you're looking, but all in all it is much improved, a pleasure to use and I think will help me shoot better. Thanks, Bill

Is anyone else having problems downloading the firmware update? ****** Eli, I was able to get the new firmware from the link you posted, but if I go to shotmaxx.com and try to get the file it doesn't work... this is the link I'm talking about: http://www.shotmaxx.com/support/

+1? Sorry for slow response. Traveling for 3GN Pro match with my son. We took that out cause it could be a security / privacy risk, and because we are adding an competitor oriented app dedicated to doing that (with more security/privacy controls and improved viewing/auto updating options). Also, we needed to tie it to the new results system (coming SOON - i hope...) with better searching/filtering and didn't want it to break. I would have preferred to release the new app and new results viewing concurrent to removing the feature but decided to take it out a bit earlier. Ken N. Thanks, I look forward to the update. I was a big proponent of Practiscore at our club and it has changed the way we do business. Please keep making improvements.

why was "Get posted match" removed from the Android version? Is there a different way to do it? Thanks
