If you can't make this class catch me in Lexington, KY in July before the Canadian Nationals or as always here in Raleigh, NC. have a Happy Memorial Day! God bless our troops, DvC, Chris T.

Just found out a few of my scores were wrong... Stage 7 had me down for 6d's not 6c's, guys check your results and make sure they are good to go! Thanks to all the staff at the Aera 8 match great stages!! DvC, Chris Tilley

Roll size it!!!! its the best... will save you money down the road. CT

Save your money buy a case-pro... it will save you time and money in the long run!! CT

YES! its an extra movment that will cost more time... small amount in some places (.01's) and large in others. (.10's) with the chance of a missed load... (1.00's) CT

1998 i was 12 years old... love it!! wouldn't change a thing...

Hands down the sight tracker is the best preforming limited gun I've ever shot! You can get one made at any weight as well so if you want a light pistol you can get one that is titanium or aluminum. 30oz to 52 oz pistol... how ever you want it and the accuracy of these barrels are awesome! I run one that is 52oz 4oz more than the one that I had at the nats and I love it! DvC, Chris Tilley

The hit factor of the stage is very important. The hit factor determines how important points and speed are. The lower the hit factor the more important points are and the higher the hit factor the more important time is. Example: 150pts w/ all A’s shot in 15sec is a 10 hit factor so effectively 1 pt down is worth .10 sec and +1 sec. in the stage is worth 10 match pts. (Time is more important)

The key to the holster is to have the gun in it securely with out having the gun move side to side/ back and forth or up and down when the holster is locked. So when the holster is unlocked the pistol can only move up and out of the holster. However you accomplish this is up to you. I like to have the white screw down all the way to start and move the platform up or down to adjust the pistol height in the holster. I do this by putting the pistol in the holster with it locked and the platform way low and move the platform up as high as you can get it with out the retention piece being pushed out past the holster. It should be flush to the holster. Then move the white screw out to stop the side-to-side motion… this may change the up/ down platform adjustment a little. DvC, Chris Tilley

Generally no you can’t but it sounds that you just improved your confidence in your total shooting ability. Confidence is a big part of practice. Most people know what to do but aren’t confident enough to do properly. A big part of practice is knowing what you can and can’t do at your level (confidence). DvC, Chris Tilley

ROFL… you think I have benefited from winning any thing as a JR.!!!!!! I WISH I WAS NEVER A DAMN JR. SHOOTER! I know that most of the women shooters want every one to look at them as equal and to see what they did overall instead of in a special category… DvC, CHRIS PS: If you think any of what is on this thred is serous you have issues…
