So basically, everyone in Open, and Limited have to buy new guns to compete.

The best range in NC is in Warrrenton, NC called Frontline Defense. In middle to eastern NC, you also have Woodys, the range at Tabor City, and there is another on the coast whose name escapes me. That one is likely to not be what you want as I have always heard it was very uptight.
Check out Frontline.

IPSC worked diligently at one point to make the criteria for acceptance, including things like becoming WADA compliant. But the IOC rejected every application.
Basically, as others have said, it ain't gonna happen.

So I am an odd bird here. I was using a CR Speed, then went to a Center Of Mass holster because I was doing Open 3-Gun and needed something more secure. The COM is basically a standard kydex holster with swells to handle the CMORE scope legs on either side. Not the fastest holster in the world, but not one I have to worry any about either. Got comfortable with it and just never changed back to the CR Speed.

As Donno advised, call Jeff Abernathy, he and his father before him have been in this game for a long time and he does top notch work.

To me, the 1984 version was very much a comic book adaptation where the 2021 version was a much more serious take. But both left out so much, it was interesting to see the things each kept that that the other left out....... like the pustoles on Baron Harokken.

Tommy Guns outside of Charlotte, NC can likely do the work. 1911s and 2011s are the majority of his work.

yes ELS receiver will bolt to tech-lock base.
Thanks!

Simple question....
Will the three hole pattern in Safariland ELS plate match up with three holes in a standard 9 hole pattern tech-lock adapter?

if Columbia's run and gun on Sat isn't enough for you, Charleston is having a NRL22 22 Rifle Precision match on Sunday.
Hope to run across you on the range sometime soon.

Several years ago, on Staff Day for the SC State Championship, I hit Stage 7 and suddenly realized I did not need to be handling a firearm in my condition. I had hit the dehydration wall. Since then, its a bottle of water a stage, regardless! Plus a few bottle of Gatorade Zero or other reduced sugar sports drink as the day goes on. Its a strange feeling when your brain basically loses the ability to make intelligent decisions.
-
Last DQ I got (in the PRS) I asked the MD if he needed any extra ROs, when he said no, I went to the beach for the rest of the day. Sadly, it was a self DQ. I don't think the Stage ROs ever figured things out til after I explained what I had done to them.

Excited to hear how this event goes. Good luck to all attending. If there is one next year, will certainly be there
A friend shot it. He said it was a great match, but hard. Lots of long tough shots with the PCC, things he had never seen at local matches (since many local matches are in shorter pistol bays). He shot it on Friday with the ROs and said it was rough shooting that many LOOOONG stages in one day. Sounds like the range had learned from the previous match and brought in more porta-potties and did better maintenance on them.
-
Stop. Clear and Secure the Gun!!!! Then figure it all out. DQ, reshoot, whatever. But Clear and Secure should always be the first action of both the shooter and the RO.

Personally, I prefer the flat amount stated beforehand in communications to staff. That allows me to choose do I want to stay in the match hotel, do I want to stay someplace nicer, maybe bring the family.
-
Various State and Area matches I have worked have had different plans. I have worked matches where the plan was turn in your hotel bill, matches where it was X $ a night, matches were it was a flat fee, matches with no reimbursements. Typically not a "club" policy but a a decision of the Match Officials based on their budgets. I have never worked a match where the reimbursement were accompanied by any taxable paperwork.

The depiction of the life, especially during the modernization of Japan, may be realistic, but many of the props are a bit out of time or incorrect. Like a John Wayne Civil War movie using SAA and Model 92s. You just suspend disbelief and enjoy.

Typically a brake reduces recoil which contributes in a couple of ways. Less movement means you can keep the scope on target and see your impacts. Faster followup shots. Less shoulder fatigue. A suppressor may or may not provide the same, along with courtesy of being quiet.
Course what type of precision shooting you are doing also matters since some formats do not allow muzzle devices.
There is also a whole discussion that brakes help by reducing air turbulence at the muzzle, but the article pro and con on that topic are way above my head.

Its all about connections. In general life you are dealing with people you have no connection with and you feel uneasy about trying to create a person to person connection out of thin air. At a match, the connection already exists, everyone is there to shoot, enjoys shooting, so you find it much easier to connect with them person to person via that general preset connection.
I think everyone feels that way to some degree, with extroverts and introverts at opposite ends of the spectrum and lots of us in-between. One of the reasons things like Talking about the Weather to strangers have become cliche is that they are a very general preset connection, we all experience the weather.
For me personally, my shooting anxiety is personal. Match Day morning, my stomach is a roiling knot. Then I pull the trigger for the first time and its like by hindmind suddenly goes "Oh Yeah, we know how to do this" and the anxiety settles out.

What is the difference between superstition, ritual, and consistent behavior? The fact that we do something the same way everytime is the same regardless of the name you call it by.

I started PRS with a lower mid-tier scope (Millet). After a long and frustrating day on the range, I finally figured out that each click of the turrets was not 0.1 MIL. That the amount varied slightly. This meant that Ballistic App calculated DOPE was useless and I had to actually shoot every 50 yards out to 1200 yards or so and build actual DOPE for the scope. When I moved to a lower upper-tier (Vortex) the difference in clarity, in eye box forgiveness, and in repeatability was night and day.

Wouldn't "stay away" be hands at chest level palms out rather than the now I lay me down to sleep position he is used?
Anyway I will have to admit I was taught the up and out method last time I took a USPSA specific handgun course.

Why would you practice draws from a position you will never use?

CClass4Life,
You have contradicted yourself here. You said everything goes to Minor with no benefit for Major, but that everyone using a Major gun doesn't need to change. Either A or B, A and B is not a reasonable assumption.
