    The question was:  "If removing OL movement made it boring, why are the other seven stages not boring?"

     

     

    And there you have it, folks!  

     

    Seven out of the eight SCSA stages are boring (at least to some).  

     

    So why not add movement to all stages?  (Which, by the way, I would oppose.)  

     

    Or why not eliminate the movement in the ONE and ONLY stage?   (Which I think is the right thing to do.)  

    Just leave it alone, kid.  Keep shooting yer rim fire and enjoy yourself.  Leave the stages to the center fire folks.

  2. Never seen this before.  Shot level 2 match yesterday.  Finish stage, escorted to chrono.  Clear gun and turn sight on.  Chrono dude fires 3 rounds, all is well.  Clear gun, holster and attempt to put rts cover on.  Look down and the lock set screw is almost fully backed out, stopping the cover from fitting.  Went to safe table and threaded set screw back in tight.  
     

    cannot imagine how 3 rounds caused this anomaly.  Anyone ever seen this?

    Keep the stages the way they are.  I'm tired of diluting everything to accommodate the lowest common denominator. 

     

    Sure it would be easier, and how about we use bigger targets and closer too,  do away with miss penalties, and everyone can just start with their gun on target instead of in that pesky holster, or heck make it real easy just give everyone an 8 second stage time and a participation trophy.

    I wasn't buying ammo or components at that time, are you telling me it's been this bad before and bounced back to near normal prices? Because that's what I'd like to hear.

    It kinda did.  Places like PV kept prices low for years.  There were gougers for sure.  But I never saw something like this.  Would never have guesses birdshot would become so rare….kinda like rimfire last time.

  5. assume you meant AA2230, not 2330.  if so, jump on that stuff.  meters great, soft shooing and  it is great for 55gr pills.  have done accuracy tests with lots of powders, and you can have TAC-it's dirty powder.

    Completely agree, but at some point people will be stacked deep and then prices will fall and people will wait for the bottom while they shoot through their stockpile and then when they are so cheap they won't stockpile because it's cheap and plentiful and then a panic will be triggered and we'll be in the same spot.

     

    The only thing that caught me off guard were 12 ga trap and hunting loads so that's on my future stockpile list now too.

    never saw the birdshot scarcity coming either.  never again...

  7. Shot my 6” .40 with 180’s for years.  Tried 165’s and what I really notice is how sluggish the slide moves with 180’s.  165’s bring that front sight back a bit faster.  YMMV.
