  1. My buddy got a CasePro after reading threads like the ones that got your attention. He uses it on .38 SuperComp every tenth reload, or fairly close, and really hasn't noticed a difference compared to the fifteen years prior to purchasing. He volunteered to do mine, so I let him, but I see no discernible difference from one to the other. My .02

  2. I'm waiting for my custom made from FBC Tactical. http://fbctactical.com/index.html These belts offer better security with their double overlapped design and they had the best color selection, with a lifetime warranty. I went with the 3Speed and an EDC. Give it a look before you make your decison on an "off the shelf" belt. Tell them ChaosShooter sent you.

    So did you eventually get your belt? What did you think of it? Was it worth the wait and price?

    I did and I have to say that no mass production belt I own is even close in workmanship or comfort. No more having to look for belt keepers and such, the overlap is secure from the get. I can't say enough good thing s about it, well worth the cost and the wait was shorter than expected. Since I ordered mine, Bobby has revamped the fitting process and done away with the custom embroidery. Take a look, I wouldn't recommend anything else.

  3. Thanks for all the feedback. It seems I was trying to stop something that can be handled by adding more props. I had to DQ a lower ranked shooter at a match because he followed a Master shooter to a 180 trap on the same style stage. It wasn't a trap if you stayed in the shooting area to shoot, but if you gamed it and crossed over without stopping immediately, it became one. Just trying to avoid ruining someone else's day with a similar backwards L design.

  4. Wordy WSB's are not the answer. Good stage design is, when I read 10.2.9 I see that you can prohibit coming back to a location, not require it

    Exactly. With the new methods of gaming and the lack of enforcement on "sportsmanship", it gets frustrating. With the Pete and RePete style shooting at the local level, I just wanted to verb it so that if someone left the shooting area, they had to re-enter in the same spot. Nothing like watching a C/D shooter try to emulate a Master, get lost and have to run back up a stage.

    poor stage design?

    You're probably right, but there was only one volunteer.

  5. I'm doing a few stages for a match and I want to purvey that if you step out of the shooting area, you must step back in in the same place in order not to incur procedural penalties per shot. The words have eluded me this morning and my searches haven't turned up anything. Let me know what you use or think would be sufficient. Thanks

  6. I recommend the Salomon Speed Cross 3 as well. A wooden or metal surface can be very slippery for cleats if it rains.

    Last time I wore my Nike Sharks, I slipped on a ramp after Unload, show clear. Spiral fracture of right wrist made it really hard to shoot the next few stages, Salomon speed Cross 3 became my range shoes after that, now I wear them daily.

  7. A "stock" magazine, factory assembled will hold X rounds when purchased, if you change the basepad and spring/follower you can get them to hold more rounds and still be able to do a reload with it. My stock STI would hold 18 rounds reloadable and after I changed the basepad and spring, I could get twenty in there and reload. Tuned STI mags will sometimes go 21. Some stages it's a big advantage to have a couple more rounds available.

  8. Having already DQ'ed a Master for sweeping themselves during the "catch", I can tell you it's just a bad habit to get into. I tell all my new shooters not to do it and if they really can't live without that round, I will gladly give them the .50 for a five stage match of lost rounds. Our range chickens are great about getting 95-99% of spent and live ammo back to the brass bin, so you'll probably get the round back anyway. I don't recall ever seeing an actual "Big Dawg" do it on film or at a match. I do take the time to get the "catchers" to completely go through ULSC again after they're done with the Jeter impersonation. Not cool and something I don't want Juniors to emulate, as we all seem to learn by example. My .02

  9. You said you're getting a custom Limited gun right? Start with load info from your builder using your bullet and powder info. Nothing to be worried about, I worry more about my 9mm rounds than I do my .40 rounds. Have fun and enjoy the new blaster.

  10. Because some people are way too sensitive, and others don't give a rip about anyone else. The decorum, or civility that was once commonplace has gone the way of a good work ethic, common good, service, etc. Shooting was the one place, for the last 20 years or so, where I enjoyed those things still existing in the vast majority. The minority is growing fast in the shooting sports, changing the landscape and growing the rulebooks.

    Hoorah!! Haven't been at it that long, but hope to be. I actually think shooting made me a better person and I still want to improve on that. I try to instill the same feeling in my Junior shooters. Thanks Mark, for stating it in easy to read terms..
