I placed a deposit for one almost 10 Months ago and a week ago got a request for final payment. Should be getting it within the next 2-4 weeks if everything goes as planned at PVA. Don't mind waiting. Have to wonder how many of the JHR's they sold because it's great deal for a quality custom bolt gun. I remember waiting 24 Months for a new Surgeon 591 action. Took so long I decided to build another 2011 and sell the action. Or 24 Month wait for a SVI. Took so long I had 2 STI's built and sold the SVI.

Looks like this might be the only major match I get to shoot this year so I'm looking forward to it. Will be tons of fun!

Yep. Greg does amazing work! Only gunsmith I've found so far that can build a new gun that's ready for a major match out of the box. I've got 3 frames at his place now that need built into something

Welcome to the forum! I shot around Wichita several years back, fun group of guys and some great ranges within 3 hours of you. And one of the best gunsmiths in the country just outside of Wichita in Ark City!

Never heard of any light strike issues with ELF triggers. They've got one of the heaviest hitting hammers around. Anything is possible if you're trying to tune a trigger super light.

The ELF triggers are very nice. The other trigger I think is a great value is the CMC. I've got a Hiperfire 24 I've never used that I'd let go cheap and a slightly used ELF trigger I'd make a deal on. PM if interested in either.

Always a good time to be had in Arcadia

I used an STI Part Number: 190-50010211-00

Welcome to the forum. Tons of great info on here to feed your newfound addiction ?

Welcome to the forum from central IL area...

Welcome to the forum! Lots of great info on here. I'll be looking for some shooting the week of Thanksgiving while we're visiting family in the Hutchinson area. Let me know if you find anything

Interesting change to the divisions...

Welcome to the forum

Welcome to the forum. Tons of very helpful people on this forum for anything from reloading to building guns and of course competitive shooting. Always good stuff on here.

The writing was on the wall and this news is certainly not a surprise. Anyone who has done business with AP knows how difficult it was to get product, purchased or otherwise. It's unfortunate that folks will be on the losing end of this. Happens far too often.

Unfortunately I had to back out of this match. Too much work and not enough employees this year...

Welcome to the forum

I've tried tons of triggers as most of us have in the AR platform. Was a big Geissele fan until I tried a S3G, the creep felt horrible and then I was having issues with it doubling. Still like the SSA and the Match Geissele's. Got an AR Gold, loved it once I got the springs cut and trigger pull where I wanted it but the trigger felt loose so I thought something was wrong with it and switched to Timney. I personally never had an issue with a Timney trigger but have lots of folks I shoot with that had various issues with them so I decided to switch, didn't need a rifle down in a match. Switched to the JP EZ trigger but started to notice they don't hold trigger pull and creep up in weight over time. Tried Hyperfire, don't like the feel and all the springs. CMC is always a good trigger for a 1 piece with stock drop in parts. The JP hammer and spring kit is better in my opinion than the CMC but they're about the same. Tried a rise armament and the ELF 3-Gun and now the ELF is my favorite. Super easy to adjust, great feel, absolutely can't hurt the things, they're built like a tank. Yeah they're a little expensive but I've got 1100 rounds through my match rifle with one and the thing is still at 2.75 lbs like the day I set it. No issues as I'd expect. I don't run any lube on them and don't loctite any of the set screws. Don't have many rounds on one but sure do like the trigger break. The reset is a tad stout but I don't feel it shooting since I don't ride the trigger.

Lots of great information here on grip technique. I think the best advice I ever got was from Manny Bragg and his famous marker technique. He long ago told Vogel to start using the CoC grip trainers while explaining to him how to tame recoil at a match in Tulsa, Hand strength along with the weak hand grip are what tame recoil. I hate recoil so I do many things to my handguns to assist in taming recoil but the thing that helps the most is to keep a strong support hand grip, fingers should be pointed at approximately a 45 degree angle down toward the ground when you extend your support hand fingers. Support hand should be tucked into strong hand around grip so that grip exposure is at a minimum. And shoot groups while you watch the sights lift over and over again. Fun stuff.

I've not competed in a PRS event yet but have worked a major PRS event and shot stages used in the events. PRS matches are tons of fun and can be difficult for a 3-Gunner to do well in from the start with our slappy trigger fingers You typically get 1 shot with no make ups in PRS where we typically shoot till we hit in 3-Gun. They are adding a couple new classes in the PRS series for 2016 so have a look at the rules and match schedule, register, and go shoot an event. Let us know how you like it. 2016 PRS match schedule can be found here: http://www.precisionrifleseries.com/prs-events.html. PRS rule book can be found here:http://www.precisionrifleseries.com/prs_rules.pdf.

I've recently switched to the ELF triggers in all my AR's. Like that they feel like the trigger in my 2011.

Welcome to the forum. You've got several great clubs in KS and surrounding states.

This might be an interesting match... Can't find my holster, shell caddies or gun belt... Sometimes moving sucks. lol

Check out the Battle Arms Development LW receiver set. Neat looking setup. Go with a Voodoo LW BCG or JP LMOS BCG if you don't go with a Ti setup. http://www.rainierarms.com/battle-arms-development-bad556-lw-receiver-set

I really want to shoot this match... Lack of vacation time is likely going to keep me home
