[Ear Protection in Hot Weather]

I also like the surefires, dont really even notice them in when your just talking and not shooting

[M&P Pro 9mm load data]

I like a 147gr percision delta with 3.5gr titegroup loaded to 1.165 makes 135 pf. FYI the factory recoil spring is a little heavy for this load. Remington 147gr umc factory ammos not to bad for cheaper ammo but its about 100 fps faster then what Im reloading

[Dads M&P's]

love that open gun, it is one of the best looking m&p ive seen yet

[Front Sight Needs Paint]

I found that the small automotive touch up bottles of paint like the ones you can buy at walmart or any parts store work great. I have tried the sight paint out of midway and it isnt nearly as tough

[What is your production platform?]

I shoot mostly limited but when I shoot production its a M&P Pro in 9mm. All stock except the apex sear and apex springs. I plan on changing the sights sometime, leaning towards dawsons. 147 precision delta bullets with tightgroup.

[IDPA or USPSA - which shoots more from prone]

Ive shot prone only a couple times in the last few years in uspsa, lucky for people that might have problems the stages were set up so you could take the prone shots last if you wanted to and not be at much if any disadvantage.

[Losing my Best Friend]

Sorry for your loss man, Its hard to believe how much loosing a dog is like loosing a relitive until it happens. Its always nice coming home from work and having a dog to greet you at the door. No matter how bad your day was, theyre always in a good mood and happy to see you.

[416 rigby + scope + face = bandaids]

Caught the scope on my Remington Ultra Mag once. Though I broke my eye socket, but after a while I was ok. I dont think anyone really ever knows how bad scope eye hurts until it happens to them. I know I shouldnt laugh, but it can be funny to watch someone one else do it.

["how to shoot a double tap"]

I saw couple of his other videos and noticed that he does a good job of breaking down and explaining the fundamentals for new shooters

[how to relax during a match]

Bring a couple of friends with you and try to get put in the same squad as them. If youre around people that youre normally relaxed around it should help calm you down between stages. For some people (if not most)the anxiety may never completly go away but once you become an experiance shooter youll get to the point that it doesnt really affect you.

[Pistol Caliber Carbine in pistol matches?]

I think that a pcc sidematch is a great idea. Alot of people have them so why have some fun with them? If its like any other gun used at a match alot of the people that have a pcc would be more then happy to lone thiers out to someone that doesnt.

[Beer]

I like amberbock and rolling rock but love miller lite

[Dropping an unloaded firearm]

So lets just say that you are shooting a stage where you have to retrieve the gun off a prop and retrieve your ammo from another prop in a differant part of the stage. While transitioning from prop 1 over to prop 2 you drop the gun, should you recieve a dq? The line needs to be drawn some where and during the course of fire is where the line is drawn. If you where helping to fix a stage that some how put you in an awkward position and the gun was caught buy your arm or another part of you body causing it to come out it wouldnt be fair to dq you over that. Not an expert but just my $.02

[Building STI Limited Gun]

mine is ramped, and eats anything i feed it

[Favorite Irish Whiskey]

Jameson is good, Ill drink it anytime. As far as whiskey goes Birddog is the smoothest that Ive ever had. Its blackberry flavored and about 80 proof but taste like about 30 proof.
