    This is hard for humans to embrace.

     

    I am burned out in other areas of my life, so why try to do it here...

     

    I think this is my life motto regarding USPSA.  I realize I do not have the psychomotor skills to be a M or GM, that is an assessment of my place in life.  I have seen the performance of the highest level shooters and I do not have that focus or determination, I still am in awe of that skill set.  I shoot a different gun frequently because I want to master my gun safe, not an individual gun.  My daughters own guns and occasionally shoot, not because I want them to be top level USPSA shooters, but I want them to teach their sons and daughters how to shoot (if they marry some panty waist skinny jean wearing idiot).  I am a better gun handler because of this sport.  I enjoy it every time I do it.  I try to encourage women and youth participation when ever I can.

     

    I have seen some of the high end shooters who cannot embrace the new shooters.  While that may be an individual choice, we do not have that luxury with the world today.  As a group, lets not discourage the inheritors of this sport.

  2. I just received mine, pulled it out of the box and shot some of my reloads.  It functioned perfectly and will need the sights adjusted but I ran out of ammo.  I am impressed.  Nice black finish as mentioned already.  Grips are nice.

  3. I have been there, lots of in-fighting about what type of gun you enjoy shooting.  I was somehow made President of the Club and the first meeting I stated several points out loud:  We need more members, we need to accept all shooters regardless of what they like to shoot, the world is working on OUTLAWING gun ownership and we need to embrace anyone that wants to fling ammo in a safe fashion, we need to be the answer to any gun question in the community.  There were a few other things.  I am very blunt but they really all understood where I was going.  In my involvement membership went to record levels, classes like Women on Target and Concealed carry were held, tactical and LEO classes,   all generated revenue and all were held in a Professional manner, cash was in the coffers. .  Build your volunteer base as you will need like minded people to assist.  Too many times it becomes a one man band and burnout occurs, or petty dictatorships rule.

     

    The AR15 is an issue with this group, so many will not embrace their ownership and use but they may understand that this is where the gun world is today.  Try to be a unifying voice regardless of how the bastards can get you down.

    Figured it is worth reviving this old thread to mention that there are great deals available on this gun right now.  I just picked up a new one for $549 on GB from a place called Tanner's Sports.  It will make a nice backup to my backup!  

    I couldn’t resist, I bought one.
