    I agree with beven grams, nothing dumber than going CLICK because you were empty and had no clue! I have shot m class limited 7 years now. The only thing on my gun that is deactivated is the grip safety. What you need is to have your gun tuned by a good gunsmith. My gun will feed every round and will not jam!

    I Need To Get My Sight Picture Back!

    in Tips for Improvement

    Before I got in to ipsc, I shot bowling pins. I learned the hard way that if you want to see the pins fall fast, watch someone else shoot!! If you want your pins to fall fast watch your FRONT SIGHTS!!! The pins will magically disappear. Because pins are set about 23-25 ft. away, I have always been fast up close to targets. That has been the hardest thing to over come. Past 25 ft. I had the habit of shooting at the same speed as up close.

    Watching the front sight is the key. Your shots will be there.

    Last year at the fl. St. match I was shooting my own game and doing very well. Sat. night I woke up at about 1 am. And thought I might just win master class!! Next day, I tried to shoot a little faster just to make sure. I gave up 120 points in penalties!

    (Still came in 3rd. master LOL)

    :P:ph34r:

    I have 2 1050`s 1 in 40 s+w and 1 in 38 sup. I also have my first reloader, a 550 with 11 tool heads!! :lol: by all means go with the 550 unless you only use 1 or 2 tool heads.

    if you do get a 650, may as well go all the way and get top of the line..1050. i mean its only money!! LOL

    How Do You Respond To The Stress Of Competition?

    in Mental Conditioning

    When I go to a match (be it local or major) I watch others in my class shoot, but try not to obsess over their performance. I just want to see if they found a new way to shoot a stage and can I use this info. If my mind set is to beat them I will lose. If I just do the best I can and watch my sights, I do well! Before I got in to ipsc 18 yrs. Ago, I shot bowling pins. I usually won!! I did this by not worrying about the others. One trick I used was when I left the house I did not bring extra ammo. Shooting 5 pins in auto+revolver class I’d only load 4 8 round mags for my 45 auto for 3 runs on the table + 1 to top off. In revolver (44mag) i1d load 6 rounds + put 2 rounds on the table to reload! The idea was to make me concentrate on my shooting and nothing else!! My worst stages in ipsc is when I worry how I will do, my best is when I forget to worry. This year I won a stage (overall) at fl. St. using a limited gun because I forgot to worry. Next stage I trashed because I tried to do it again!!

    My 2 cents.

    You Have Five Minutes To Look Over The Stage

    If you are not good at dissecting a course of fire,watch someone better on your squad walk thru the stage. If you have any questions, ask him or her! Just don’t be a nuisance!! LOL

    I remember when I first started shooting I had no clue how to shoot a stage. After over 18 years, I can take one look and see how to do it ( most times!). I don’t mind telling others how to shoot a stage. Just don’t stand in my way wile I try to see what to do!!!LOL

    The idea of rotating the order works well we do it at all major matches we go to (my wife and I).

    :D

    40 S&w 180gr Seems Sluggish

    Posted · Edited by COLD ETHYL

    I use 5.7 gr. n340 , 180 gr. zero jhp. it works very well for me. 1.20 oal.

    I use this load in a sv heavy dust cover ,bbl, tungston guide rod.

    I switch back and forth from open + limited.

    this way the guns weigh close to the same.

    btw...I can shoot both at the same speed :P

    Open Or Lim.what's Harder To Master

    in USPSA/IPSC Shooting

    Posted

    I was at that match! ( 3rd limited). and yes! smitty can shoot!! :lol:

    as for what is harder..limited or open..both! I love limited + open the same.

    limited makes you shoot better. open lets you shoot faster ( past oh say ten yards)

    it all so lets you crash faster! :P

    open lets you see the hits. limited makes you call the hits.

    if you can.. shoot both, it will make a better shooter of you!! B);)

    thats my 2 cents worth! :rolleyes:
