I try to design to my weaknesses and then try to give everyone a chance. Now if I could shoot them it would be fantastic.

You shot very well yesterday and if you dont make B soon Ill know you are sand bagging LOL. It was good to see that you were not out running the pistol. Is that magnet the one with your holster. I on the other hand am going backwards and Im really struggling to find the sweet spot. Im going make major grip changes this week and put the *thumb rest [generic]* back on to see if anything helps. Again great shoot.Hopefully we wont have any micro bursts like yesterday next week.

How about just polishing it up. I have a few friends who do this you would like.

Hey d man you playing at PSAC tomorrow

Missed you out there great day, not a lot of heat ,stages laid some Cha-lee traps. I made 2 errors that hit me pretty good. The morning steel was doing a dance on me and wasted alot of time, I tightened up my grip and the afternoon steel wasnt quite as bad. Hope to rock at PSAC next Sat.

Looks good d-man hope to see it soon.

Rough weekend last weekend for both of us ehh d man

Follow your PT advice. Make sure you get a good one because my first was not as good as the second.

Having had both hips replaced 1 in 2010 and 1 in 2011 I got to the gym as soon as my PT told it was ok and I worked out until 2 weeks prior to the second surgery, After the second surgery I was back at the gym riding the bike in 2 weeks. I it is going to take a lot mental persuasion for you to get yourself going but a approach it with patientence and also a desire to get back to a good point. I dont run any marathons but short sprints for a stage does not seem to cause any discomfort. I am still at the gym 3-4 times a week plus a weekly competion in the summer. So all I can say is that I feel better than I did for 15 years. My massage therapist says that the new hips are less prone to dislocation than those of the past. Just use good sense as you go. I know that I probably over due it but I have a Marine mentality.

Panda man I had a great time and even though I didnt do as wel as I had hoped, I felt that I physically was able to handle the 11 stages in 1 day fairly well . It was bummer about stage 5 because it was my best stage and being the CRO on that stage I did the best that I could to make it as consistent as possible. All the match staff was great and watching the other great shooters from around the area was a learning experience in it self. Dawn did a great job with the food , and as you know I can eat big LOL. Count me in on the next one, you know you have my support. Get the angry Panda finger ready cuz we need you at the High Desert.

And this from a Panda from deep in the rain forest ,HMMM.

Cha-lee unleash the Mad Panda and make us proud. Best of luck to all.

I asked the question of one my local CRO about your hand placement during your classifier, He stated that thate would be a large debate over where the arm ends and how much support that you would gain from that position. I think this would be a good question for the NROI. My first thought is that it is a procedural, but a good point for clarification.

Hey Cha-lee that reninds me of the lat HPPS match where you did the same thing OUCH!!!!! I would've thought you had learned about that ,

Joe I finally made it out the range and resighted my pistol with the new front sight on wednesday. Then went out to HPPS this past Sat. and shot with one of my regular clubs, I had what I would call very eventfull days. I helped with some minor setup and watched signup so I could fill in if needed in the future. My stages were full of misses and my speed was quite lacking . But considering I'm not yet 5 weeks out of Hip replacement I feel real good. I did not have any Hip or leg pain,but my back was tired and my feet were howling loud. I did have my best classifier ever so thats a real improvement and shooting with Glenn Higdon ( a real good grand master) he was able to point out some real things that I need to improve as my speed and condition come up.

Congrats on getting back too it. I too am recovering from my second hip replacement this year. I plan to start shooting this week, first with my CCW and then with my competition pistol.

I'll be there and hopefully i wont be shooting single action this week.LOL. I need to get acouple of decent classifiers in before I get cut on again.

For those of you who didnt witness Cha-lees stage 5 at AGC it was the very impressive to watch and since I was scoring being right in the middle makes it that much more impressive. Way to go Panda. Yhe Panda was growling (litteraly).

Hey Cha-lee let the Panda eat this week and good luck . My day was better but not good enough. See you when you get back, you are gonna miss my stage.

Kudos on the shoot sat. When I first saw the stages I was a Little grumpy ,but by the end of the day I felt good, I still am having transiton issues and I too was indexed to high on 2 of the left side targets on stage 2, so 2 misses. My speed is improving except on stage 1 I didnt think I moved that slow but "It is what it was".

Hey Cha-lee isnt that twice you forgot the gun? Well I'll have to be first to admit that even without a rear sight you still shoot better than myself and quit a few others WTG. See you at AGC My partner and I have planned some practice for me and my new shooting style with a bionic hip. The main thing is I need to go back to basics. See you there.

You go GM.

Cha-lee I'll be there. I'm gonna do like you. the best I can. Physcal therapy and Ballys workouts have made me sore but I also need a competition fix. See you there.

In my situation Cha-lee the MD said stay ahead of the pain by using the pain meds cautiosly but dont let the pain get ahead of you. Stay strong. First day of bike was ok. second day was ahhhhh not so.
