"Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship. " - Yoda

Digitally re-mastered plus a bonus disk with over 4 hours of special features!
Came out yesterday and I got my copy today! WOOO-HOOO!
I know it's forty bucks I should have spent on bullets, but everyone has to have a hobby ... right?

in the unlikely event that I would run dry i feel it much faster to rack the slide then to fiddle with the slide stop... I'm left handed and that makes it harder to naturally use the slide stop.
Me too and I'm right handed. I tried a couple of stages where the gun started unloaded but could be started in slide lock ... so I did. It turned out I spent more time farting around with the slide release than it would have taken me if I would have racked. Why? because we rack the slide all the time during LAMR. We hardly ever use the slide release.

Hmmm...looks like short round shot over 100%...way to go.
Well that's not so good. I finally got out of unclassified into B on this go around and this classifier didn't make it. Looks like it'll get thrown out when it does get on.
I looked over the scores again on the club's website and it looks like I remembered wrong. I shot 50 points in 6.18 seconds so my HF is really 8.0906. From the numbers you have Ron it looks like that should be 93% for open?
From the video and what I remember the run didn't seem exceptional or feel very fast. I guess the good ones never do.

In case you missed it like me, someone on Glocktalk has posted the video.

I spoke with a buddy of mine about this yesterday. He told me that he and his wife saw Dave Sevigney on Mail Call. Apparently his wife asked "can people really shoot that fast?"
It made me smile.I've never really considered what we do as "weekend warrioring."

The gun in the pic is a MKII of course, but the same setup will work on the 22/45.
Tasco ProPoint from Optics Planet $88.50 w/ free shipping
SoLow Scope Mount $45.00 can also be found on ebay.
Installation was a breeze.

Volquartsen Comp $58.10 w/ shipping
ps. thanks shooter-grrl for hosting the pic!

I also would recommend the self squadding system that Rob Boudire has introduced. The Golden Bullet section matched used it and it seemed to be favored by most of the shooters.
The self-squadding at GBC was excellent!!

The only thing with four legs that we won't eat is a table.

The only problem I have had, is that the springs on the one in my limited gun were "Dead" after only 5K rounds or so, and they went durring a match.
I had this happen in my open gun this last weekend during a club match. FUBAR'd three stages because of it. The classic death jam where the brass is still partly in the chamber and the slide is locked back on the next round that has nose-dived into the bottom of the feed ramp.
I changed the springs out before practice last night and the gun ran great for 120+ rounds. Looks like I need to stock extra springs. All this after 6k rounds.

I can't find the thread about how you make your custom grips.
Try clicking here. Look for the (at time of this posting) last two posts in the thread.

"...Sometimes it takes a heck of a lot of force, most time you can hear the adhesions around the joint capsule as they tear..."
Excuse me, I think I'm going to be ill.....
Me too. Where's that air-sick bag I've been saving for a time like this.
-
Killer slide show. That's awesome. Range bag and gun were cool too.

You can do whatever you want within the rules of the match. The AWB rules no longer exist.
Unless you are in a state that has it's own ban. Such as California.

as long as it doesn't get silly or too IPSC like.
Would you elaborate on what you consider "silly" and "IPSC like?"
-
Game Plan? What game plan???
Exactly!
I had an issue with this today too. Welcome to the forum and welcome to IPSC!

Definitely! The fat in the "authentic" chicharones reacts well with the alcohol and can turn anyone into a temporary drinking champion!

Wow. Thanks for sharing. Three quarters of the way through the post I had to slow down reading and take a breath. I was having flashbacks and my heart rate started going up. I'm right there with you.
---the calm will come.I sure hope so.
Peaceful shooting to us all.

31. The next time you sneeze say "God Bless Me" before someone else does.
32. Walk down the hall placing one foot directly in front of the other and mutter "baby-steps, baby-steps."
33. Go around the office and re-load everyone's stapler with 10 staples in accordance with the new office staple ban.
34. Take extra staples with you and tell office-mates that they can have them back in 10 years.
35. Park your car as close as you can to the lobby of your work and leave the keys with the receptionist to give to the valet.

I'm not all that worried about being "real-world tactical" and all that stuff
I think you should get an FTDR for even thinking this. Cleary this is a violation of the spirit of IDPA.
but I like to compete in a fair gameThe reference to a "game" is definately an FTDR if not two or even more.

Since there are only a few wheelgunners at each match, we would really like to know how we're competing (at least roughly) with the rest of you!
... but aren't you only competing against the other wheel gunners?

Some folks tell me I need to treat each position as a small speed shoot and book it without haste from spot to spot. To be honest, that's what I thought I have been doing.
I'm no expert and this is just a guess. I've been working on my mental aspects of shooting a lot lately so here it goes ...
Once the stage is broken down into smaller speed shoots do you put them all together into larger picture? Like a mental step back to look at the puzzle once you have all the pieces in place.
It reminds me of the awareness/attention parts of Brian's book. Kind of like being aware of the whole stage and shifting your attention to each position as you get there then further shifting you attention to each target. As each target is complete you shift your attention back to the position. As each position is complete you shift your attention to your overall stage picture.

I'm more familiar with the other part of that ...
An object on the couch tends to stay on the couch, especially if there is something more productive to do and there is something stupid on the television to watch.
