    Area 7 Match

    in Match Screw-ups

    Posted

    Dan,

    Did you happen to leave any of that stink on stage 6? If you did, I stepped in it. I was having my best major match to date and managed to DQ with only 3 shots left for the match.

    Now that stinks.

    Just Thinking Out Loud.

    This is a great topic. I recently began reaeding Brian's book again (this will be the third time in a year). I am struggling with awareness and focus. It became apparent while dry-firing that I was thinking about not thinking. Obviously I was still thinking and not being just being aware.

    I spent the last hour dry-firing not really practicing the draw or the relaod, but being aware. This has proven to be a very interessting and productive practice. When I manage to just let it happen, my draws and reloads are better then ever. As soon as I start to think, even about not thinking, things get sloppy.

    As mentioned in a previous post, I think it is very important to get a look behind the door. Once you experience something, at least you know what you are looking for next time. The problem is "trying" to make it happen again. That is when I get into trouble. Again, a mental aspect.

    Self Deleting Files

    Thanks for the input. This laptop has been nothing but trouble. She just got is back from IT on January 10th. They had it for a week, it was infected with a virus and the IT department "Re-Imaged" the machine. Not sure what that means.

    Now we have this. Yesterday, a new data folder was created and now functions fine. The old data folder stopped deleting files at file names that begin with "BA". Everything beyond that is lost. She was under the immpression that the files were being backed up on the network server, but that is not the case. Some of the files were three and four years old. They had survived several of "Re-Imaging" proceedures, but not this time. IT suggested that she have it done again, but until then she is backing up on a disc, just in case.

    She is pretty good with computers, and I am aware of user error problems, but this one got me. She opened the data fiel and lets say there was 100 files. Open a file, work fo r a few minutes, close it. Go back into the data file, now there are only 95 files. And missing in reverse alphabetical order. Very strange. Just to clarify, what I am calling the "data file" is simply the folder she creatred to hold her files, it is just named "Data"

    This is a problem my wife is having with her IBM laptop. Recently, within the last couple of days, files in one specific folder have started auto deleting in reverse alphabetical order. These are Word documents, so of which were a couple of years old. This problem is only found within this specific folder.

    The IT department told her yesterday that no virus could be found on the computer. They apparently preformed a full virus scan and sometype of spyware scan and determined the computer to be virus free.

    Anyone have any ideas? It sounds like some kind of virus to me, but I am no expert.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated .

    Thanks in adavance.

    Not an expert but:

    It sounds like the left leg of the sear spring may not be resting on the back/bottom of the sear. Sometimes the left leg works it's way over between the sear and the grip/frame. In this case it may not have worked it's way over, but when you re-installed it, the srpring may not have been on the sear.

    Take a look by lowering the mainspring housing enough to flip the grip safety up. You should be able to see if this is the problem.

    Good luck!

    Point Series

    When and how can a shooter register for the 2005 Point Series? Will it be possible to register in time for the Florida Open?

    I just checked the USPSA Point Series page and it stil contains 2004 information.

    Thanks.

    I was goning to wait until the gun was finished before posting pictures. It will look much better once the frame and slide are hardchromed.

    Derek just did a great job. He did what others told me would not be possible. He took a gun with a frame that had been cut to commander specs and made it 100% reliable (to date) and much softer shooting.

    The machine work on the slide is outstanding!

    Here are some pictures of the Open gun Derek (Millennium Custom II) recently reconfigured for me. I purchased this used gun about 8 months ago. It was origianlly a shorty with a commmander slide. It functioned flawlessly, but I found it very harsh. Much more then the SV 5.5" gun I had been shooting.

    I sent it to Derek and asked him to address the problem. I told him I liked the way the short gun handled, but wanted it to be softer shooting.

    He put this together for me in three weeks. It is exactly what I wanted. It shoots flat and soft. Still not as soft as the long gun, but much softer then the way it was. The craftsmanship on the top-end is exceptional. Derek was able to use my lower with only slight modifications. Fit and function are perfect. I have had it back now for about two months, with about 4000 rounds through it . Not one complaint.

    The frame is currently blued and needs to be refinished. Derek recommended leaving the top-end in the white in case I wanted to make any changes. In February, after the Florida Open, I am going to have it hard chromed.

    The grip is by Jim Shanahan.

    Looks like the seller didn't have quite enough posts to post in the Classifieds here, though.

    I had posted three items in the classified section recently and they all sold within hours. I quess when I marked them as sold and the posts were deleted my post count went down?

    Anyway, I did not want it to seem as if I was just using the forum as a selling place. This is a great forum. I read everyday and have learned more then I could have imagined. I am new to this sport and don't have to much to contribute yet, but that will change :) .

    Thank again Jerry and thanks to the forum community and host.

    Happy New Year to all!
