Well they pick up their own brass. But not stuff they don't know about. Me I pick up everything.
-
scott this is coming from tom and joel btw... I have special super/comp bucket in my reload room just in case... but to be honest of the thousands of pieces of brass I pick up everyday at gun-ho rarely come across any.
-
all the local guys here avoid .38 super and super comp once fired brass like the plague... some kind of wisdom to this ?
-
pick it apart. I see a few things
set up was an A only steel IPSC target center @ 20 yards 2 six inch lolly pop steel at 13 yards left 1 4 inch loly pop steel @ 13 yards right. stage was a diamond with 15 yards between loly pops to force wide transitions.

lone wolf slide and barrel then you have both a production legal 34 and a limited 35 or 24
my glock 24 frame with a lone wolf 34 slide carver comp and my own internals

I had the same issue with an apeiro when changing out the trigger. I had to reshape the trigger bow just a little. mine would work fine would not slip off the sear but as soon as i put in a mag, first pull after that would not reset the trigger and no half cock. a little reshape on the spring and a little reshape on the bow runs 100% now.

Well it could be that I am expecting to much from myself also. My first match ever was in October. I just see several times were I place really well top 2 or 3 on 3 stages and then blow two and get shuffled to the end pack
-
Consistancey!!! I placed high on two stages and poorly on the rest.

My match today went... ok at best I placed 11th in limted with 64%of total points. as a D shooter shooting where at least 50% of the shooter were A or better I think thats not bad. If i am looking at this right. seems like to me we all shot fairly close together today. I am lacking 20% of the points to place first?

Thats what it was I had to reform the bow a little and tweak my sear spring

hey guys had a buddy change my curved trigger in my apeiro to a flat trigger. run two mags through it now mags wont frop and the hammer wont reset. Took apart the MSH worked fine with no mags dry fire ok. stick in a mag and same story. fails half cock no reset at all.
any ideas. It may just go to my gun smith tomorrow.

OK this is not like me... I have been shooting uspsa for 6 months I have come a long way and just moved to limited with a new sti. I am shooting GREAT! with good times and hits. EXCEPT i am missing targets (FTE's) this started 3 weeks ago... right round the same time i got my new STI.
for example I shot a beautiful classifier today near master time and score but I just forgot a mandatory reload. right in the middle of the stage on the second string. It was free hand reload strong hand string 1 freehand reload weak hand string 2. I hit the first reload set up the next string free hand right to weak hand with out making the relaod. this is not like me. Last week I had 4 Fte's and I saw the targets in pre stage set up my plan and just plain missed them.
GRRRRR some suggestions on stage prep maybe.. am I too into to my front sight its really frustrating shooting with great smoothness and accuracy only to blow a match on a mental error.

If you have been shooting only 6mos and you are shooting that drill, in less than 2 seconds, you are way ahead of probably 95% of the people on this forum..
yeah I have shot Fclass/NRA long range since I was a kid. I bought my first pistol back in june last year... tons and tons and tons of live and dry fire practice
-
Yep Mat that is the result of your short C.O.A.L. and the extra barrel length.
Suggest you get your OAL in the 1.155-1.160 area and retest.
I can't get 1.55 to run in my mags 100% 1.145 does until the chamber is caked with crud. It's cool I was just wondering why I hit it so soon.
I am thinking about putting a 17 slide and bbl on it so I can run factory loads.

Flex my calls are ok I know if I broke one out of the alpha. I use this static drill to push my steel game where I am standing in one shot firing 6 rounds at falling plates.
Ps chala
I am not just spraying I do follow and track my site but thanks for your observations.
-
Sub-2 is good enough if you can do it on demand....right now, dead cold.
Draw times don't really mean much in the big picture. When you look at big matches, there often are very few static draws where you're just standing there, draw, and shoot a target. They almost always have some sort of action or movement. So, most people spend a large percentage of their practice time (both dry fire and live fire) on something that won't help them all that much....and they don't even bother practicing stuff like turning draws, which are used, at the very least, for a lot of classifiers. R,
that was my first run cold. my third run was .82 1.88 I always use my cold numbers.
this exercise does help me A TON though. I shoot steel also. friday night falling plates and SSC. but i guess you guys are right as far as uspsa I guess i am good enough on this drill.

Limited u just started shooting like 6 months ago. I shot production when I first started I am shooting an Sti apeiro now.video was taken with my iphone so the quality is kinda crappy
-
All alpha upper a zone
-
OK guys can you help me pick up some draw speed?
I see I am dipping my head a bit can you guys see anything else i can do to pick a few tenths
shot this @ 7 yards hands at sides first shot .90 total 1.90 6 shots all high alpha..

glock 34 lonewolf bbl craver 3 port comp.
OK yall being the extra cautions person I am I started working up my major load @ 7.5 grains and stepping up .1 grains at a time.
Now i know every one says start near 8 and work up, had I done that i would have been in a bind.
I made major with 7.7 grains of HS-6 @ 1.145 oal and a 124 grn dp jhp. 7.5 grains was bumping 160, 7.7 grains gave me 168 and 7.8 gave me 170. Using federal primers I was getting slight primer flatting. But if i was using a wolf or winchester i doubt i would see any pressure.
I guess because of the extra length of bbl I am getting faster velocities?!?!?
anywho. the gun wont run until i hit 7.5 grains with an 11lb ismi spring
-
didnt even look for 170's... ps made 170 Pf with 7.7 grains of hs-6 @ 1.145 ???? go figure
-
Which magwell are you running on that? Can you fit mags with floorplates or do you need basepads?
It's a Dawson ice. Yeah I can run either.
I found I do need to pump my load up a bit. When it's dirty it still double feeds and stove pipes. Teach me try to run a measly 7 grains of hs-6 and a 3 port comp lol!!
-
I am using federal 100's in my open 34 with hs-6 I am loading 7.2 Grains with a 124 dp jhp @ 1.150 thats my steel and falling plate load. start @ 7.2 and work up to major. YOU MUST HAVE A CHRONY and look for signs of pressure.
Draw fire mag change practice
