    the steel challenge has basically become a rimfire event for teens.

    I kinda agree and disagree with this.. Yes several Junior and 20 something shooters are currently dominating the RImfire and PCC divisions... I understand many of them have devoted many, many hours practicing which is awesome... overall times are getting lower and lower and they seem to be pushing others to get there too. Several non Juniors made it into the top 10 in most divisions.. 

     

    I have not looked at the statistics from this past WSSC but feel more Senior and Super Seniors are shooting now than Juniors. I think this has to do with Rimfire Rifles and PCCs being easier to shoot. I know at my local club - many Seniors/Super Seniors are shooting weekly that would not be be shooting if it was mostly a center fire holster only match.

     

    With that said I truly miss the Original Steel Challenge match at Piru where Rimfire pistol was just a side event - however I think USPSA has gotten a lot more shooters into the shooting sport with the current 13 Divisions. It is not the same match and continues to evolve...

    Paul, 

     

    That screenshot is informative but won't work for what I want to try. Either post here, or send me a PM, with links to some attachments you think you can live without and let me use my mystical, God-like powers to delete them. Then we can see if that helps reduce what the system sees are your "allowance".

     

    Thanks...

     

     

    Will do.. Only trying to delete as I got an automated message saying I was over my limit and needed to manage attachments.

    Thanks

     

     

  3. Does anyone know how to delete your old Attachments? Trying to post a WTS - but says I have reached my quota and need to "Manage Attachments to free up space" I have pictures going back to 2010 and they are no longer needed and will be happy to free up space.. Thanks in advance

     

  4. Yes - the BulletSense Sensors have started shipping this week.

    We are shipping as fast as we can test them.

    As noted above if you have any specific questions feel free to PM me here or call the office.

    Thanks again for your continued support and interest in Mark 7 Reloading products.

     

    Attached is a preview of the finished product.

  5. Mark 7 Reloading takes great care in producing our products and if they don't meet our expectations we work hard on them until the product to meets our expectations.
    Their was an issue with PowderSense working with BullletSense for a short period - but our Engineers worked quickly and came up with a great solution and it now is compatible. 
     
    Unfortunately sometimes this can be in imprecise process when it comes to timelines but we are confident that we are going to have these sensors out very shortly.
    If you have any specific questions feel free to PM me here or call the office.
    Thanks for your continued support and interest in Mark 7 Reloading products.

    .....Fantastic products, great engineering, but still amateur hour when it comes to running/marketing a business...

    Mark7  has not marketed the BulletSense to anyone EXCEPT our existing customers with a pinned post in the Mark7 User Group on Facebook. If you have any questions please let me know.

  7. Here are the differences:
     
    Hardware 
     
    7 inch vs 9 or 10 inch , tablet and motor with medium torque
     
    The software on the system is basic machine control 
    Digital clutch has 3 settings only h/m/l
    Index is  on or off . Off is regular shell plate movement .  On slows to the equivalent of 4/5
    There is no step by step digital jog 
    There are no software monitors - where u can pre program the machine To stop after a certain amount of round produced, e.g.
     
    Outside of those this has all the hallmark features of the Mark7 system, like downloads and updates, circuitry and so forth ..

    If the match directors think that shooting the same gun twice in a row (or more) is an unfair advantage (note:  I think it is) then they should do something about it.  This is separate from shooting other guns in a row, or any other combination of issues.  No matter what, the match directors can make this decision for their match.

    I feel shooting two guns - any platform  (pistol, pistol or pistol, rifle or rifle, rifle or? in a row is an advantage.

    I also feel that if a person is shooting two guns and others are only shooting one gun  the shooter shooting two guns should hustle and paint more.

     

    BTW - I am usually the guy shooting two guns..

    Also historically the plates are all set from the shooters box to  height of 60" to the center of the plates. Except for pendulum ....

    Heights are well described in the Rules - Appendix E2:

    "All round targets, except for the Pendulum are 5′ high to the top of the target and all rectangles are 56″ to the top of the target. Pendulum has two round targets that are 6’ to the top of the target."

    So where is there any consistency in what was done. Wouldn't it be easier to just put in the rules that all plates must face the shooting box. Some will have hardly any angle while others are set to extreme angles to face the shooter box.

    I agree facing (or recommending) plates towards the shooting box is best - However I have been to matches (Including a State Match) where the plates were parallel to the back stop - this was done as per the Club's Range Rules.

    Saw the videos yesterday. How much height does the autodrive add to the machine? From the looks of it, it is easily 6-8" higher than mine is, installed on my strong mount base. It also appears that the machine is not bolted down to a bench. Is there that much added stability that the press doesn't shake?

    I need to measure height. As far as bolting - the Mark7 bases holds both the 650 and 1050 quite well - no bolting needed in my opinion.

  12. What about the rule about changing mags during the course of fire?

    In previous years I recall that if a Competitor has a jamb and drops the mag during the course of fire he/she must retrieve the mag they started with and continue and cannot use a new mag.

    I understand keeping the round count to 11 (1+10) but find this ruling to be unsafe.
