I have all the latest versions of Practiscore on two Kindle tablets and a master iPhone. We're running into an issue that sounds similar to #1 above. We can pull shooters to the Kindles all match, but as soon as we get to the end of the match we run into sync issues where one Kindle will not see the iPhone and the iPhone can't pull from that one Kindle. I don't know if this is network, device, or a software issue. Any thoughts on existing solutions to this problem? Thanks

Thanks for the info guys. I mis-typed Android, I'm running Kindle Fire tablets in the scoring bays. Anything I should look out for when it comes to the registration tablet being iOS?

We do have WiFi. So doing a sync on the fly won't affect scores already entered on the scoring tablets in the bay?

Android. Shooters are able to choose which stage to shoot when, no squads. So the issue is getting shooters into the scoring tablet accurately. I've found if there's a misspelling I will get duplicates. Also, the flow of shooters is such that I don't have the ability to hop into the bays and sync the tablets so that all new shooters are on the scoring tablets.

Does anyone have any recommendations for using Practiscore with a shoot & scoot format? Currently we're unable to score directly into the tablet due to the constant flow of shooter signing up while others are shooting. So we currently score on paper and then transfer that to the tablet. While the competitors are shooting a member of the staff is entering shooters into the tablet from multiple paper sign-in sheets. Any ideas on how to make this more efficient would be appreciated. Thanks

I play IDPA from time to time and it's a killer, I don't have another gun to use for that game and I think I'm more invested in USPSA right now. How is it possible to have too much grip? I've never heard that one before.

Just realized this should me moved to the techniques forum.

I currently have an issue that I don't know how to fix. I shoot a XD9 Tactical in production division, there are times when I make up shots, and due to that end up at slide lock. Problem is my slide doesn't lock back, there's something with my grip, what I think is happening is that my strong hand thumb rides the release. This causes me to not realize I'm dry so I waste a good two seconds dry firing before reloading. I know one solution is to simply count rounds, (an A class single stack shooter laughed when I made the counting rounds comment today at a match, don't know how to take that) but I was wondering if I should seriously start considering a different firearm. I'm not an XD die hard, it just happened to be the first gun I bought.

I've done a few searches, found some options like Canyon Creek, but... Does anyone have recommendations for shops that sell Glocks or Springfield XD's that are competition ready for Limited? Thanks

Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it. I was throwing a lot of shots low left, most likely from slapping the trigger. I think when I get wound up and get that "I need to get quicker" feeling I just start putting as many rounds down range as possible. As far as that swinger was concerned, the popper that activated it was through the door... So I had no choice but to take the door first. Being in production, I don't think it would have been wise to just skip the target, as it was not a disappearing target.

I didn't, but I don't recall him really being in the way. It might just look like that on the tape.

I started off comfortable with my first stage (stage 3) then it was all down hill, mikes and forgetting to reload as well as fumbling. I'm now making an effort to practice more, beyond reloads, what do you see that I could improve? Thanks Vids in order of stage completion.

From what I gather the Marui guns are better quality, the pro Japanese shooters use them. I'm guessing that an XD airsoft will never be made. What are people's thoughts on using the XDm airsoft as a trainer for the XD Tactical?

I was curious on the comment about the barrels. At my club a few stages are almost exclusively set up with barrels. We hear the zings regularly. So how dangerous are barrels really?

I'm new too, here's what I did: 1. Condor Outdoor double bag 2. Blade Tech AR mag pouches with tek-lok 3. California Competition Works 6 shell caddy This set me up just find for an IDPA multi-gun match. My friend made one of those jogger 3gun carts. I will be doing the same shortly as hauling bags is not fun.

Nice job Gene! I'm now almost 3 months in. I've lost 30 lbs and 2 pant sizes. Just today I sold my CR Speed belt because it didn't fit Now I need to get a new belt!

This is what I did: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=142289&st=0&p=1598793&fromsearch=1entry1598793

Sounds like you're basically there, dive in and give it a shot. I've been doing paleo probably around 70/30 right now. There's no other way than to just give it a go and adjust your choices accordingly to fit within your lifestyle.

I think it'd be fun, especially if it were Virginia count.

I don't have an eotech, the guy I bought the AR from let me shoot with his when I bought it.

Well, I placed an order for the YHM sights. We'll see how it goes. Who knows if I'll get out to any matches this year... I've only shot the rifle with the Eotech the seller had on it so I have some learning to do.

I'm leaning towards irons simply on a cost basis. Looking at the Yankee Hill flip front (gas block) and rear. From a local guy here in MN who competes in 3 gun, he describes the stages as 90% of shots will be under 40 yrds, with 9.5% being at 100yds or less, and 0.5% being further our than that. That is true for USPSA 3 gun and IDPA DMG 3 gun. Odds of me using this rifle in any major matches is probably slim, if I'm motivated to go compete in major matches I'll probably have a better rifle by then.

Nicely done! I'll bet you're feeling a lot better, too? For sure, I've been sleeping a lot better as well.
