I paid $300 for 5k of .22LR CCI mini mag in the spring of 2012. Somebody was looking out for me!

That is some funny shit!!

Welcome

No pics?!

I like that. I will have to give that a try.

Good stuff. I also like setting a target at 7,15 & 25 yards. Draw and 2 alphas at 7 yards. Repeat at 15 & 25 yards. Compare your times and work on reducing times between 7&25 while maintaining accuracy.

I need to hear more about this shooting dojo! Well, think 24' wide by 64' long with 10' ceiling. Then think bullet trap along one entire 24' end. That's about it. There is a club in Michigan that holds indoor shoots during the winter. Their building is a lot bigger than what I am doing, but I've studied their bullet trap and it is a fairly simple design. I won't be able to do the building and the trap all at once, but it will happen!! Just think, 20 yard shots, INDOORS!!! I'm so stoked, plus it's an indoor facility that Excellence in Shooting (EIS) can use as an Indiana base of operations. Recently had to cancel an EIS training session due to rain and flooding, won't happen in the future. Also gives me A place to shoot in the winter, geez, heat and insulation, more $$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!! LOL I'll post pics when it's being built!!! Sweet. I'll have to come over and check it out when its done. I'll be training with that Keen fellow this weekend. Looking forward to it. I need to start taking better advantage of him being in my backyard.

They sold me one I was told they will only sell to armorers or I could send my gun in and they would do it (5+ months!)

Great match today guys. Did anyone find my three-legged chair I left?

It doesn't appear to be for sale from Apex either.

S&W won't sell the general public this barrel

Copy

Cincinnati crew will be there. Bringing an FNG as well.

Now that I've had more time to think about it I think Cheely was in on the stage designs! Devious plot to chase guys from production & sell more guns!

I even pulled off the double slide lock! I might have looked at that steel a little longer than normal!

You're welcome.This 2013 made it 3 years in a row and 6 prize guns we've built for the match. Maybe we'll make it 4 years in a row next year? If we keep designing anti-production stages I might need you to build me a Limited gun!

1. Pay attention to the WORDING of the walk-through as it's read to you out loud, and look / listen for gaps in the structure of the start position. 2. Ask Questions. 3. Take as much advantage as you can. This does not mean bend the rules or cheat. But if you're given a little Lee-Way ....use it to your full advantage. You can always ASK the ROs if you can change something in the stage layout. For example on Stage 2 the RO told us "The gun needs to be lying on the barrel, next to the bucket." So I asked, "On which side of the bucket?" and they told me "Just NEXT to the bucket" so I placed my gun on the LEFT side of the bucket, as opposed to the RIGHT said like so many shooters before me did. That's just a little observation that paid big dividends to me, the shooter, as I wanted to grab the gun & move to the left, therefore I didn't have to worry about knocking the bucket off the barrel with the gun when I picked it up in a hurry. So when it comes to teeter-totters that can either be set one way or the other, take as many of the options in a stage as you can, and use them to help you. As an added note and using stage 2 as another example....The stage briefing read that the bottle & IV bag had to be placed in the bucket (Procedure penalty for each) and the bucket had to be placed on the OR table prior to the final shot (Procedure penalty). The briefing didn't state that the bottle & IV bag had to be in the bucket and on the OR table. Another words if you dropped the bucket or knocked the bag or bottle out of the bucket after it was placed in the bucket it didn't have to be picked up and placed back in the bucket prior to placing the bucket on the OR table. A number of people lost time on the stage as a result.

Matt, Thanks again for your support! Much appreciated!

Welcome aboard

Sounds like my friends!

I wish I had a sponsor!

Did you get that front sight fixed?!

Me too! In fact I don't think I've touched by gun since Nationals?! Good grief I better make sure I can find it.

Makes my back hurt just thinking about it
