Safariland ELS system with 771 pouches is the only way to go!!

That's awesome of you to pass along the gift cert! I can't really add anything that hasn't already been said. Great, pretty, consistent bullets that are typically shipped the same day you call (not one of those...'ya, we'll ship them out monday {on a thursday'}) It's huge that they participate and support the sport too.

Chris, well done at the state match. Open is a tough division and your finish is nothing to be bashful about. You saying you feel deflated and not knowing what to do next has a small amount of my brain working....that's all that ever works though You say that your times are off? My thinking may be way off but here's my .02. You seemingly don't have anything holding back your ability to shoot a stage faster. No physical ailments or disabilities. If you do then my thinking is not relevant. Being a racer for 15+ years I relate shooting to it because it's really all I've ever known. When I was racing I was at, say, level 5. For some reason, being practice, time on the bike, good equipment, etc. I was able to compete at level 5 consistently. So now that I'm at level 5, how do I get to level 4? or 3? or 1? (1 being FAST and WINNING). It is really easy to get comfortable in your skill level. It didn't matter if I practiced 4 times a week or 1 time. If I practiced and trained at a comfortable level that was all I knew. In order to progress I had to PUSH, take chances and risks, more often than not, in my selected sport that meant a pretty serious chance of extreme injury. So it got to the point where I'd go practice and just do laps. I wouldn't try to do anything crazy or push it too hard, just a solid good moto(match). After a while I noticed that didn't work. I was staying stationary as far as progression and others were moving up the ladder. They did that because they were pushing and taking more risks than I in practice. Practice is practice. The idea of it is to better yourself. Wow that sounded redundant, but it's true. With shooting, its hard to set up a lot in a practice session. You seem to get your hits when you have a solid stage. That's good! BUT, maybe at a club match you could just say, "I'm going to shoot this stage as fast as I can, I'll see how the points end up." I think we need to push ourselves out of our 'comfort' zones to advance. It's not gonna happen the first stage, the second stage, or even the first few club matches in total. I got to a point where, when I was really pushing, I'd go, "holy sh** that was scary." Once I did that a hand full of times it started to become normal. I'm not preaching at all. I'm pretty new to this sport but I bring a lot of what I've learned in another sport into this one. I think everyone is capable of killing it but most just get caught in the 'comfortable plateau.' Maybe try this at a few matches in the future. You might be surprised at what you're actually capable of. On another note, thanks for all the work at Warsaw. It's much appreciated and great job! Side note....After reading my post, it jumps around a little but I'm too lazy to organize it. I'll go back to dry-firing.....

Jake, looks like you just told Ryan yourself.

WOW! First off, hats off to the Warsaw crew and volunteers for a standout production this weekend. I was whooped after one day and you guys and gals were out there multiple days. Thanks a ton and great job! The match was great. From the COFs down to the costumes and signs. I really liked the high round count and options galore. Again, thanks for all the work from the staff. Probably the best match I've shot to date. Sperman, thanks for taking over on video production!

I'm not too sure on cost of living so much but I grew up in the area. Plainfield and Avon are close and pretty nice areas. As far as clubs to shoot at, there are 4-8 clubs with matches within 2 hours, 3-4 within an hour. I'm still in Indy, plenty of options for places to shoot.

ive been shooting SS all year and I just got my 'fat' gun out this week. I can't put it down so I'm out for the SS entry....Soooorrryyy!

Yup nice job Bill I had to reload on that stage! So did I (shooting L10 ) As did I...or as I should have....

Thanks....I think? Anybody got any video of Josh Nyboer on stage 13? I thought I shot that stage decent until I saw his time I'd also like to see how he did it 5 seconds faster!!! WOW :

Awesome match!!! For my first Area match the bar is set pretty high. Congrats to all the winners!...even you Corey...

Hey Jake......You Da Man! I can't wait for this match!

I'm pretty sure it's just plywood, although it's kind of hard to tell since it's dark

He said he was shooting a Springfield from their custom shop.

Where are these 'official' results?

was that gold car fresh off the lot????

I'll send my two apps in by the end of the week. SS Saturday and Limited Sunday. This match is gonna be so good
