[2017 OHIO STATE MATCH]

Nest year i WILL take a back up gun, and shoot the ENTIRE match. LOL!

 

 

[Everything is a hack!]

I too have grown to dislike the term. How about we return to "cool idea!"

[Right Handed, Left Eye Dominant]

If she is new to shooting, learn to shoot left handed and be done with it.

 

My granddaughter is 9 years old, and left eye dominant. Her dad and I are starting her off the right way . . . left handed.

 

I had a battle of my own, growing up left handed and loosing the sight in my left eye in 1980. It was a hard row to hoe, learning to shoot all over again right hand (at age 31). Especially the long guns . . . UGH!

 

Good luck!

[Back on two wheels]

I like my Honda's. I don't have to run straight pipes and continually rev the engine, at stop lights. Yeah, Honda's idle without shaking the mirrors off!

[Fly United...?]

I have heard Southwest beats up on their competition, not their passengers. 

[XDm trigger]

I sent my XDm to Scott Springer, for the trigger work. But then, I had him do some other work at the same time. He tuned it up, re-crowned the barrel and made slide cuts. He does excellent work, IMHO.

Oh, I know exactly what you mean! Some of the text messages my daughter receives from me are down right embarrassing.

I have but one grandchild . . . a girl. She more than precious! You and I are very lucky people.

[Do Optics Slow you down?]

After the first season, of shooting open, I was faster with a dot than I ever was with iron sights. It goes without saying, it took a lot of dry fire (and live fire) to get there.

Exactly how was your dremel attracted to the frame? Love at first sight? 

[CCWs - data question]

The majority of the time, here in the country, I carry a Taurus 5 shot revolver with 5 extra rounds. If I'm traveling to a murder & maham city, I carry an XDm 40 S&W with 16 rounds.

[Dry fire..rack the slide or just squeezing?]

I never do trigger work during dry fire. I, personally, don't think there is anything to be gained by it. All my trigger practice is in live fire.

I was doing 15 over the limit and passed a state trooper on my way to a match. That is wreckless op here and I could potentially lose my CDL. He did a TV VERSION U TURN on a two lane road and ran me down. I have retired military plates on my truck. He walks up to my truck and says ,"license, registration please". He went back to his car and ran my info I guess. When he came back to me he handed everything back to me and told me to slow down and thanked me for my service.

 He had me dead to rights but chose not to issue me a ticket.

Being a vet had to of saved you from a citation, Kevin. Ohio state troopers are not known for warnings. Well, not in my case anyhow

[Using .40 range pickup brass - Do you sort? Exclude some? Precautions?]

I am "forced to" pick up 40 S&W brass at the local matches. You see, there are 2 ~ 4 shooters that do not reload. So, I get FREE once fired brass.

[New match load... Precision delta or Montana gold?]

I have used both bullets, extensively, and like both. I don't believe one can go wrong with either. 

There are much better powders, for 40 S&W, than Tightgroup. WSF and WST, just to name a couple.

[Using .40 range pickup brass - Do you sort? Exclude some? Precautions?]

I tumble in walnut hull and inspect each piece. I only throw out those with damage, and do not sort in any way. Bulged brass has never been an issue so, on the the press. Once loaded, I drop it in an extra barrel (chamber check). GTG!

[CED/DAA Range Cart Pro - Need Better Tires]

Yeah, what he said. What is that stuff you buy at the hardware . . . . green goop? I use it in my yard equipment, to keep the tires up.
