Standby!

Here are my steel single speed 29ers

I've had a hardtail for the last several years, when most of your riding involves climbing...a lot...it's the right tool for the job! I rode a rigid Single speed 29er before this one. I relented to gears because of the area, but really enjoy single speeds back in Kansas where I'm originally from.

XD Tac Factory spring, and 9mm 130 pf 147gr. bullets, I might experiment in the future but right now it's not broken so I'm not gonna fix it.

Thank you!

Thanks!! It's the only form of exercise that I can stick with..cuz it's fun!

+1

Some other various shots: The wife and a good friend.. The wife: This one is published in Dirt Rag Magazine- The current issue:

Thanks!

Here are a few shots I like..I caught the photo bug and enjoy shooting when I can. Tilt shift/mini effects

Here is mine: The wife: Both: Wife again (in Brown shirt)

I agree, I bet it won't be long before it's approved..SA sponsors a ton of matches.

+1 on the Ep4..just started using them..cheap and they work great.

How you grip can affect Impact points..I know I was guilty of it. The following chart may help you understand accuracy issues if you have them.

My times from holster to target average .89, but I would rather have a consistent and steady 1.0 anyday. The way I see it is I'd rather devote more time to getting a proper grip and sight picture than rushing it.

This might help...

You would be surprised what you can do after the learning curve. Never giving up, even when failing...badly.

Nice! Thanks b!

Thanks for the tip! I will remember it...I bent at the waist but you can't tell from that angle. But I will use the draw into chest method..it makes sense.

I never said every risk was good, or worth taking

Here is my second match (total) held on Fathers Day this year, at the Old Fort Gun Club in Fort Smith Arkansas. One of 6 stages. I welcome feedback of all levels, I have thick internet skin. I feel it was a success on all levels (I made it through 6 stages in high temps without dq, and learned a lot)

I totally agree, and I'm hoping some of my background from other multi-tasking sports will help me along.

I failed to mention that I started riding that frequency 4 years ago.. I will never forget that first feeling of what I call "Zen" on the trail, or shooting Archery tournaments. I eagerly await that feeling in USPSA. Drawing from my other activities, I understand that the only way to get there is by doing.

From the time I started riding to the good mental state was about a year, riding 3-4 times a week. The riding frequency slows down in the winter season, but it does not stop. Everyone has a different comfort level and it's important to know your limits. The past weekend A current pic Last year Winter I feel the shooting will progress in a similar fashion, and that "feeling" of everything feeling like it's on cruise control, yet very aware will indeed come with repetition just like the feeling I get when the tires hit the dirt. I have several injury photos from my learning curve, but some are very graphic in nature so I will spare those for a pm if people want to see them. I also have been shooting traditional archery (longbow) for a very long time, and feel the lessons I've learned there will help me along as well. Programming the subconscious to take care of form, while the conscious is focused on the target. I don't feel it is a coincidence that all of these activities are so closely related in terms of a Zen feeling. Some of the rules don't apply to each other directly, but I feel they are related.

Ahh yes! That's where I remember it from! I believe it's a true enough statement.

Thanks! It's a mental state that I slip into automatically when the tires hit the dirt..someday the same will happen when I hear "Stand by" Have a great day.
