If you look at the results at:
http://www.uspsa.org...&guntype=Pistol
It shows the reentry as getting 100% of the stage percentage, and the other two competitors percentages keying off the re-entry's hit factor.
Anybody know if this is normal?
I suspect that this is just a data presentation issue on the website, because EzWinScore seems to show the correct data. Only the scores for match score -- none of the re-entries.
The reentry got 0 stage points and the maximum stage points went to the highest real shooter so there shouldn't be any effect on the match totals.

I ask because it'll take 6 months for the guys in Hobbs to get Terry's number right, even if he writes it on his score sheet and sign-up sheet, they'll pull the old number up out of their database.
Tell him to put something like "I have a new number" next to the name on the papers. The stats guy's probably not going to be checking the number to verify that it is still the same as last time.

snooze you loose, This is an adult sport. I dont get the mentality that MD's should be expected to jump through hoops to group certain people together,
We've never had to jump through hoops to keep a large group together by doing the squadding by hand. Same goes for someone asking if he can be squadded with some A class production shooters or building a squad of Revolver shooters. I think of it as customer service.
-
From the poll results it looks like a couple of responders voted not to use the do it yourself squad method. Does anyone know why anyone would not want to use online squadding as I can not think of any reason not to do so?
How about a group of six shooters that want to shoot together on Saturday but none of the online squads have six openings? Maybe they should have signed up earlier but maybe most of them did but one guy was late. Easy to do with a squadding request but not with online squadding.

I have an aqaintance who has a vintage Olympic air pistol that needs repairing. I don't know the make or model (I can find out if need be, but apparently it's very old and very collectible and accurate). So, does anyone know anyone who works on such things?
Try Pilkington -- http://www.pilkguns.com/. They deal in Olympic quality stuff and have experience at the hight levels.

Thanks. I had no idea if there were some internal differences such as it would only feed hardball/fmj and have issues with the 200g swc I prefer (well, have too many of in the closet).
Sounds like a grip safety would turn it into my usual 1911 for the most part.
Tradtional hardball loads are 230 grains at 820+.
If you want to keep it as a legal ball gun you might want to add some kind of clipon mag well you could take off. Some of the legal thumb safeties are bigger than others too. Any internal changes you need to get a hardball gun to feed wadcutters are legal and simple for a gunsmith to do. Then you change the recoil spring. The four pound trigger isn't that heavy or hard to shoot with speed but many people prefer a lighter trigger.

I had the same issue and bought a set of panels that go under the regular grips and make the whole grip wider.
www.cmmshootingsports.com makes spacers in several thicknesses.

I am looking for the results to this match; I've new on the new uspsa site, the Area 8 site, and here.
Please help.
I am technologically challenged, so perhaps I've missed it.

This is sort of related to the discussion about DQ'd shooters, zero hit factor, and scores being deleted. For the curious the thread is here:
http://www.brianenos...dpost&p=1221718
Anyway, while playing with EzWinScore, I noticed that when a shooter goes sub-minor, the program prompts me if I want to delete the shooter. (I think that the deleting the shooter is required as per Appendix C2.39.)
I assume that I should follow the same procedure for a DQ of allowing for the time limit for arbitration to pass before proceeding to allow the shooter to be deleted. If I need to get preliminary results going, I'll follow the sage advice of making backups. Additionally, I probably should set aside to all scoresheets associated with that shooter just in case. Is this correct?
If I've got a master and multiple slaves, should I follow the same procedure like DQ's when dealing with Chrono entries?
Sort of tangent to all this, why does a DQ'd shooter get zero hit factor (essentially deleted), while a sub-minor shooter gets completed deleted instead of getting a zero hit factor as well?
Best I could say would be that the DQed shooter is still part of the match even though he's been disqualified from having a score and the subminor guy is shooting the match for no score. No score means he isn't part of the match results so he disappears from the results.

after the last round i've had the slide not lock. it's happened now with 4 different mags. gun is a STI SS in .40 and mags are wilson 10mms, round count would be around 5000. any idea what might be happening or how to fix it.
If you put an empty mag in the gun and pull the slide all the way back, does it lock back? If not, can you push the slide lock lever up and lock it? Does the follower move when you do that?

The Hammerli is a serious bullseye gun (note the factory supplied test target). I don't know what model that is but some you can replace the top-end with a .32 caliber top-end to shoot centerfire bullseye as well. I wouldn't use the Hammerli as a plinker or steel challenge gun because of the precious trigger. YMMV
The 280 was a very nice gun that could take a 32 top end. They are still fairly expensive and are really only suited for bullseye or international target shooting. It is also long out of production and the parts are disappearing pretty fast. Unless you're looking to get really specialized a Marvel conversion on a 1911 base is a very good target pistol and is widely used for bullseye

Yes, my scores were deleted. My name was at the bottom of the results with DQ beside it and all factors, ie., time, points, penalties, were 000. I had all my score sheets up to that point, so I got a rough figure on placement in each stage, but not the final.
Your scores weren't deleted, the fact that you were DQed makes them print out as zeros. If you had only shot half the stages then the stage report for the stages you shot would have a line full of zeroes showing you were DQed and the stages you hadn't shot wouldn't mention you at all.
If the stats guy unDQs you then your hits and time would be on the printout because they stay in the match database. Part of the DQ is that you have no score for the match.

In attempting to shoot Bullseye with a 45 and typical 200 swc loads, I find it difficult to score using the classic method of taking the stance and lowering the sights down on to the target. Some how I seem to need to push the gun into the sight picture to deal with the moment of recoil. 10 meter air pistol is completely different but if I am going to use it to train to shoot the 1911, I want to use the same technique. Am I missing something obvious here?
The old fashioned way involved the high start and then lowering the gun to the bullseye. Some ranges don't allow that at all now.
With both guns, lift the gun from the bench, align the sights and get them aimed at the right spot on the target. Accept the wobble. Then press the trigger straight back without disturbing the sight alignment or moving it with your finger. Be sure to follow through -- as in hold the sight alignment just that way until after the gun goes off. Recover from the recoil after the follow through, not before.

Anyone ever shot this kind of ammo? I'm possibly buying 6000 rounds of it but know nothing about it. It is .22 LR from Russia. The price is reasonable. Any suggestions?
About 10 years ago this stuff passed through the bullseye world. It was reliable stuff (if the grease didn't foul things up) but the saying was that there was a 5 in every box. Some of those things would just veer off course and cost a lot of points. It wouldn't affect a steel shooter as much.

Of course, most USPSA members' production guns might not be legal according to the NRA Action Pistol's Production Division, so read the rule book carefully!
Here are the 2009 NRA Action Pistol Production Rules:
...
The following firearm modifications are prohibited.
Single action only firearms.
Custom-shop firearms.
Peep, ghost, optical, electronic, Bo-Mar
and Aristocrat type sights.
Tom...
bianchicup@nrahq.org
How many of those rules apply to the nostalgia match that is limited to the 1911s shooting .45? I'll bet most of the ones used in the early matches had Bo-mar sights.
Would a Les Baer Premier II as described in his catalog qualify as a production gun for the nostalgia match?

The NRA and the sport of shooting, needs a makeover, an up grade a wake-up call. I can not even tell you where to shoot a high-power rifle match, or NRA action pistol, or a bull’s-eye match.
See http://www.nrahq.org/compete/calendar.asp although they do have a problem keeping it up to date. Seems like the shooters know where to find their local matches, but ...

Copied from the NRA Competitive Shooting eNews -- December, 2008
Notes From The Director
Special Committee on Multi-Gun Competition
NRA President John Sigler established a new committee to discuss the potential for NRA sanctioning of Multi-Gun or 3-Gun competitions. Special Committee on Multi-Gun Competition members came together for their first meeting on October 25, 2009 at NRA Headquarters. Task Force members include: NRA President John Sigler, Chairman, Mr. Bill Allen, Vice Chairman, Mr. Gregory Coker, Mr. Andrew Horner, Ms. Denise Johnson, Mr. John Gangl, Mr. David Power, Mr. Steve Sutherland, Mr. Randy Luth and Aaron Hampton, SFC, USA
Committee members were chosen from Multi-Gun match organizers and firearms manufacturers with specific products for multi-gun competition. All committee members were very enthusiastic about the possibility of NRA's involvement in these competitions.
Multi-Gun competitions are a fast moving action shooting sport where competitors must go through specific stages using a rifle, pistol and shotgun or any combination of these firearms. Multi-Gun matches sanctioned by the NRA would be a major change from the traditional bull's-eye precision competition normally associated with the NRA. In Multi-Gun competition the competitor moves from target to target with loaded firearms and engages both paper and steel targets through unknown stages of fire.
There are a number of large Multi-Gun tournaments that want to have NRA sanctioning. With these tournaments as a base, the NRA could introduce this exciting tactical competition to local affiliated clubs across the U.S.
In future meetings the NRA will ask for the members help in designing other tactical courses of fire and how to incorporate tactical rifles and sights into our traditional shooting programs. We will keep you posted on new programs that result from these meetings.

Anyone heard anything about this?

They are Lee dies mounted on a Dillon toolhead...all of my loading equipment is Dillon except for this set of dies.
I know that you can use the Lee Die, Powder Funnel, and Powder Measure, or you can put a Dillon Powder Die, Funnel, and Measure there instead. I've never tried to mix them and I doubt that it would work.

Our club has an indoor winter bullseye league. I have thought about doing the rimfire side but don't know if my ruger 22/45 is the ideal gun for it. If i just put a red dot on it should I be Ok to get a feel for the one handed shooting to see if it appeals to me?
Not ideal but the Rugers have always been popular as starter 22s and they're usually good enough to shoot master scores. The 22/45 has an advantage over the normal ruger because the grip angle is the same as the 45 where the normal ruger feels more european.
-
A friend of mine talked me into doing some indoor rimfire bullseye shooting through the winter. This is going to be my first shot at shooting bullseye.
How many bullseye shooters do we have here?
Probably not many that work at it. But there's at least one.

Anyone know where you can get the 2008 results? Web site does not have a thing about what went on this year.

Anybody know anything about a Steyr LP-10?
Is getting compressed air still the same PITA it used to be, or have dive shops eased up on the "we won't fill a cylinder w/o a dive card" rule?
Great gun. Once you are at that level it is pretty much a personal choice. If you don't want to mess around with a tank they sell very nice pumps that look like bicycle pumps except that you can fill the cylinders with them. 200+ bar is no problem although the heavier you are the easier it is to work the pump.
Weird online match results for a division with a re-entry
in Match Scoring
Posted
I think reentries have always been listed in the USPSA results pages in the same order as the results were. It used to be a little different when it would show a reentry as being first in the match but not list them as a match winner. And before that you had to trick the system to get a reentry at all.
You still have to keep thinking about the reentry special cases. There's one where someone reshoots the classifier in the same division to send in a better score for classification. Another is when he reshoots the classifier in a different division. Another is shooting the whole match again in the same division or a different one. Sometimes the reentry is a real score that should be treated like any other and sometimes it shouldn't be allowed to affect the match.
