run/see fast but shoot slow

i had the pleasure of shooting with stephen at this match. what a great kid and great shooter. when he found out he went minor he didn't really get upset he just decided to shoot better points and make the best out of the situation (great attitude). his father is his coach and a former phillipino champion. i am glad i got to meet them both.

i have been seeing everyone here locally price gouging so here i am on the bandwagon there are roughly 10000 primers only fired once only $75 a thousand

thanks rice burner. you have to tell that story!

I miss my open gun!

did i read that correct that grand masters shoot free?

Are there any 40 to 45 round mags for an ar that actually work?

I was wondering when you would show up on the thread and no thanks i had all the pressure i would have liked but it was a pleasure shooting with you i hope to do it again soon be sure to cheer on those red raiders for me

don't be jealous i know you like the hair it just looks weird cause i don't wear a hat

Millett 1-4x24 Designated Marksman (dms-1) i just got an ar and looking to start 3gun i was wondering if anyone had experience with this optic and if it was a good starting place

squad 2 was the most fun i have had in a long time the match was awesome it was a shooters match no gimmicks just shooting which was surprising compared to past years it was a roller coaster ride but i loved it

first of all welcome to the forum! you will find great info here but what you cannot find is the way the gun feels to you what i recommend to you is to go to your local gun shop and get a feel for the gun and see how each one feels in your hand another thing is to go to your local match and ask around see what they say they might even let you try a few rounds there ( just remember to take everything with a grain of salt, everybody has something to say that doesn't make them right) but to make the best judgement you have to shoot a similar model before you buy it if possible i have experience with each of the guns you mentioned except the bersa i personally have owned comparable versions of each gun you mentioned and i like the sp01 best but like i mentioned its mostly personal prefference for you good luck and hope to see you at the range if you are anything like all of us once you try it you'll love it

looking forward to seeing you and bj out there , has he put alot of rounds down range this year? i will be on the practice range on thursday morning as i'm just shooting open this year but i can't wait

WOW!! 3.46 seconds!! you should be in the super squad! you must be real good. no man I'm just really lucky

this stage is where i had an epiphany i was told that each stage had it's own sound this stage is where that hit me like a brick the way i felt more confident shooting it was 1,2,4, pause 3,s but the other way that i have tried is 1,2, pause 4,3,s now when i say pause i don't mean i sit there for an hour i mean getting your bearings before you shoot the next plate which could be hardly noticeable but you can definitely hear the difference i hope that makes sense

this stage kills me every time i can hit the 1,2,3,4 plate pretty fast it's that last little f#$@#$ that gets me every time i have so much trouble switching gears from as fast as i can to accurate enough i'm going to shoot it this weekend and im going to try brian's way of 2,1,3,4,s that seems interesting

i have been working on the movement between the boxes it's one of those things that i can almost get but it's a fleeting feeling before i start i put more weight on my weak side leg almost leaning to the left and as i engage the second plate my right (strong) foot hits the ground and this is where i loose time it seems like almost a hop step out of the box my right leg gets out quick then one cross step with my left then another step with my right which lands in the about a foot inside the box setting up as my left foot gently sets in the box i don't know if this is the right way or even if there is a right way but it seems to be working for me i have gotten the stage as low as 3.46 in practice but that was after shooting about a thousand rounds on it.

sorry flex didn't hit me to look around didn't know there was an entire section devoted to steel challenge

I shot this match for the first time last year and i fell in love with it can't wait to get back this year So here it is. What are your fastest single runs on each stage? smoke and hope, speed option,outer limits,etc... I know the average is what matters but i am curious to what people are doing in practice.

mike, this is a cool idea and i am anxious to try the skillstest unfortunately i use a Mac computer and cannot open the file from the forum or your website could you post a mac friendly version

Yeah, i wish I could have made it but I have to work for a living I hate when life gets in the way anyway those guys would have killed me did you see Matt went minor looks like he would have won man that sucks!

Do we have a winner yet?

i have both and i have not had a problem with the click switch and thats the one i like they are both good but the problem i have run into with the standard switch is that it gets loose after a while and if it gets too loose it can back off (or dimm out) while shooting a stage the click seems to have a more positive engagement i guess it just comes down to personal preference they both work good the click just feels more solid

Wow, I guess open really is the dark side

phil will you guys ever do one of these for open?
