    Super Sniper's Smokin' Leupold....

    in Precision Rifle

    Posted

    Doesn't suprise me as in the few SS scopes I've played with, they are not bad. The line that I remind folks about them are that they are a great scope in that price point, but not a great scope. That said, I'll probably be putting it on my soon to be practice rifle. The Leupy that's on my 308 will probably go to the 6 Ackley and then Nightforce on the 308. B)

    Packing list for Nationals

    in USPSA Nationals

    Posted

    You're going to be in Vegas in September. Weather is a VERY small factor.

    Just think about what you take and decide if it's what you pack or what you buy. Frankly, no matter how cold it is I can shoot in shorts, so that rules out any additional clothing south. :) Throw a light sweater/wind breaker for chilly mornings (that will warm up). Wal-Mart has Gun Scrubber/CRC Brake Cleaner (same stuff IMHO) and pretty much every other doo-hicky we need.

    When I roll in to a town, first stop is Wal-Mart for the items mentioned above, can of brake cleaner, small bottle of Hoppe's #9 and some patches. I've yet to find a Wal-Mart (even in California) that didn't have this readily available.

    You'll be fine. You need about a gym bag worth of clothes for the match. It's only what 3.5 days? Same as any Area or some Sectionals.

    Don't overthink it. Nationals is nothing other than a big club match. If you're prepping for it any different, maybe your club match prep needs to change? ;)

    Seriously though. You know what you need (to shoot the match). Everything else is flare.

    What you take with you:

    - Gun, mags, ammo, eyes, ears, belt (inner), holster (outer belt)

    - Range bag, extra batteries, tools, spikes, timer, etc.

    - Laptop, reading material & MP3 Player

    - Wallet, Cell phone, charger, checkbook

    - Personal hygiene/meds items and all reservations documents

    What you buy when you get there:

    - Stop at Wal-Mart:

    * Styrofoam Cooler

    * Consider picking up a folding chair

    * Snacks, case of water, ice

    * Anything else you need/want (sun block etc.)

    * Baby wipes (or the Dan Carden bottle of magic happiness)

    My usual "load out" for a pistol match:

    Bag #1: Rolling duffle that cost me $40 at Target

    - Holds range bag, pistol and ALL shooting related gear

    Bag #2: Regular gym type/over the shoulder bag

    - Holds clothes, ammo and everything I don't want to carry on the plane

    Bag #3: Backpack (carry-on)

    - Laptop, MP3 player, reading material, cell phone, wallet, doc's (travel light)

    Fly Southwest, no extra bag fees and have fun!

    ETA: Everything you bought at Wal-Mart doesn't go home with you. No point as it's served its purpose. ;)

    Basic Info Question

    in Miscellaneous BEginners

    Posted

    Paper: Shortest distance = Arm's length :D; Max distance = There is none and 50 yards IS a standard exercise.

    Steel: Shortest distance = 7 meters; Max distance = There is none, but be able to hit a steel plate at like 15-20 yards and you'll be fine.

    Welcome aboard. :D

    best drill to work on accuracy

    in Training Techniques

    Posted

    I don't know it the best drill, but it works well for me.

    Take 1 target and start at 5 yards. Draw and shoot 6 shots the the upper A/B zone in 6 seconds. Once you can get all your hits 3 times in a row, move back 1 yard and repeat until you find the distance you can not get your hits in the 6 seconds. Simple, but not easy.

    I like this a lot. Baby steps.

    After many rounds of ammo, I'm stuck doing Bill Drills at 50. One of these times I'll get it. :D

    Dry fire is a huge help, but you've got to be honest with what's going on with your sights when you are dry firing. Learning to call your shot is a key too.

    Setup for a Glock 35 for 3-gun?

    in Glock

    Posted

    G35 for 3-Gun is easy. Magwell is personal preference. All the other doo-hicky's are personal preference.

    Frankly, replace the sights with some good adjustables, get a trigger job on it and call it done. If you really want a magwell, I'm pretty well in love with the JP that's on my carry/night stand G22. For competition, going with the Seattle Slug and probably CGR's brass magwell would do the trick too.

    You cannot ship a serial numbered part (i.e. the lower) to someone directly.

    That said, there's some weirdness with someone needing to have a "California FFL". I'm not clear on it, as I've not run in to it at all.

    That said, call CA-DOJ and they'll clear it up.
