    You definitely need to come and shoot the H&H match. It is a good first match to shoot. DO NOT show up without a pistol and gear or we are going to start thinking you are stalking us! :D

    Maybe I am. :surprise: Yeah, I just ordered a holster so maybe it will be here in time. Just as long as you don't say any of those mean and hurtful things to me that you were saying to Rusty and Brad and Phil and Scott and... :D

    Umm, that's nothing compared to the crap Mitch gives poor little me. Granted, my ego starts writing checks my "skill" level can't come close to cashing.

    I worked as the CRO on stg 6 - and all I can say is that I was so tired when I got home last night I literally fell out of my truck. I figure 200 something 10-12 yard sprints in the mud, snow, frozen mud and actually dry ground on Friday flat wore my arse out. Guess I'm not 20 something anymore. ;)

    Well, your welcome, I was the guy that let you walk :D

    Thanks for the hard work, along with all the other ro's, score keepers, etc. You all had it far worse than the shooters.

    Wow! I have heard complaints about a match before but not one like that. The match staff busted their butts as well as the shooters. We all fought through the weather and I am sure I am not the only one moving slow today after a weekend like we just had. Maybe we should have live feed updates where you people can see the score sheet right after the shooter signs it. The best way I have found to get current scores in a timely manner is to go shoot the match.

    Well, I shot the match on Friday, and the time it took to post the final results would be my only complaint about the whole match. But I'm a computer programmer and can do such things in my sleep, unlike shooting. I personally don't know why there aren't live feeds either. Shooting sports seems to be a bit in the dark ages as far as technology is concerned for scoring. It's a minor complaint, I thought everything else was great.

    Now, glad to see the people from Oklahoma that kick my butt every week do so well. Makes me feel much better when I actually beat one or two of them. Now, off to practice. I only have to half my times and shoot the same score in order to beat Manny in Limited. (I don't think I can even move that fast without even shooting, lol). I'm going to work for at least a 25% improvement in times for next year. I bought an air soft gun at the match to work on those target transitions in a manner that won't bore me to death.

    Do you take back-up guns to matches?

    If I had back up guns I still wouldn't take them. I think a few cold ones will convince somebody to let me borrow their Glock, Benelli, or JP rifles at the match.

    Why? Jesse, I thought you bought a new gun when yours needed to be cleaned :D

    I sometimes take a backup. I about always take one when I'm shooting a 1911/2011. I rarely do when I'm shooting production.

    I'd probably bring a backup rifle to large 3-gun matches.

    Palm scoring discussion

    To often the squad selects random order and you would be amazed at how many times and individual can be randomly selected to go first, as a programmer I understand how random works and it is what it says it is random so everyone has an equal chance of going first every time the random is kicked off.

    I'm a programmer too, so I know there is no such thing as truly random when it comes to computers.

    I guess the thing to do would be to just rotate the start order by 1 ever stage, instead of trying random.

    Palm scoring discussion

    The only issues I noticed with the palm scoring was when new people were added to a squad and a printer that couldn't get a connection from a palm (printer wasn't in a box if that matters).

    I could care less if Double Tap falls on easter or not. If that day means something to someone, they will probably have the option to shoot on Friday.

    You probably could, but a hold up is all the X5 pistols are made in Germany so getting support on them is hard. Plus it's expensive...

    Well, my hybrid x-5 shot quite well and weighs the same as my sv. Other than lacking a magwell, I think it will work great.

    Hi guys! I'm a fairly new shooter to USPSA (started shooting again around September of last year) and am excited to join this forum. I've got my classification in Production class and just shot my classifiers for Limited, which I plan on shooting this year. I've been lurking for quite awhile and decided to get joined up. This is a great website FULL of info and hope to contribute where I can. Mitch

    It was a pleasure beating you in both those classifiers you shot. ;)

    We won't mention how many times you have beaten me.

    Matt, why did you see it is not as good as an sti yet??

    I'm guessing that the primary thing Matt would change is the weight.

    G-man is right. The gun is a tank. Good thing is it points well, and it's really accurate out of the box. I can't wait to get a 9mm all around and shoot at the Bianchi Cup, that will be the most accurate gun there in production. Too bad I only have 1 Sig right now...

    I cut an ounce out of the frame and slide, but it still comes in somewhere around 45oz. Considering I like my STI's around 36, it's a big difference. I finally prototyped a single piece recoil system for it, and I think it will help. Then you get into the issue that the magwell on it from the factory is almost as bad as not having one on there at all...

    Any reason you can't use the frame from a x-5 tac? The tactical weighs in at 35.5 oz. I just threw on my 9mm all around slide onto my tac frame to test out at lunch today. Thinking of using it tomorrow in a pro am match (sights are better on the all around).

    Can a guy learn to shoot a Glock?

    I hated glocks. Started shooting uspsa and realized very quickly how little I knew. I was accurate, but could be timed on a sun dial. So, I took a class at tdsa tulsa. I then shot a glock a few weeks after my class. It was awesome. I shot a glock 23 better than i was shooting my xd 9 tac. Just loved the way the sights tracked.
