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.

Stage 11 -- The Clown that Wouldn't Die

Actually, you're down 10 points on that target. And you'll be getting some extra attention for the range people.

Tape a laser pointer to the gun so someone else can see what happens to the gun when you work the trigger. If the gun doesn't jump left then you are doing things right. If the gun jumps left then you need to work on trigger control.

The scoring software doesn't get what's on each target, just how many As, Bs, Cs, ... there were on the stage. As long as you have the right number of hits on the stage you are fine. If you are trying to use automatically generated scoresheets you could have a problem.

Two things come to mind. The first is that you are concentrating so hard on seeing the sights and pressing the trigger that you forget about your wrists. They loosen up a little and the gun rotates up right at the end. The second is that you are looking so hard at the front sight that you are rotating the gun back a little bit so you can get a better view of it. Actually a third thing comes to mind - you tense the forearms and wrists just before the shot goes because you are concentrating so hard on keeping everything right. This rotates the gun up. There's good advice in this topic, it summarizes as get the sights aligned and do a smooth continuous trigger pull as you hold the sight picture as best you can. I can only claim 2585 at bullseye. I do well at the ball matches (think single stack, iron sights, 4 lb trigger, 230 grain at 820 ft/sec, strong hand only, 25 and 50 yds).

Are you sure your hits at 15 yds aren't a little bit high and just a little bit left? If you sight in at 25 yds the 10 yd line will be good too. Unless you are shooting very lightly loaded ammo you don't have to worry about the trajectory arcing. If you get 25 yds dead on you should be a few inches low when you are shooting 50 yd standards. Be sure that you keep a good smooth trigger stroke going. If you are hesitating - stopping and starting pressure - you'll spread the group out. People tend to tighten up as they get to longer distances.

I'm not sure that this applies. We do have several larger groups that arrive together, shoot together, and look like your idea of a squad. They still shoot the stages in any order they want. But a lot of our shooters come in 1, 2, 3 at a time and do not form themselves into squads for the match. The liitle groups of friends stick together but what seems like a squad on one stage breaks apart and travels in different directions to the next stage to form new groups of shooters. Most are cooperative about pasting for the people they are with on the stage, some people take advantage of the situation.

The group of people who are shooting at that moment. Call them a temporary squad if you like. Everything works the same while a group is shooting. They just get to pick the next stage they want to shoot and when they shoot it. And people would jump on an empty stage, we don't have to worry about that.

OK -- bring a van load of your friends and rivals and then shoot together. No one is going to split you up.

The RO on stage 3 takes scoresheets from the next 7 shooters (3 pairs and 1 single) waiting - because the 7 after them want to shoot as a group. Walkthrough and planning They start shooting After the single guy shoots he sneaks off because he's done with the match and doesn't want to paste anymore. After the six get done shooting 4 of them go to stage 4 and get in line to shoot and 2 of them go to stage 2 because they've already shot stage 4. And this goes on all day. A group (squad to you) lasts only as long as their time on a stage. And you and Doug can debate this all day Sunday at area 8.

If you still have the Lee Powder Measure, put it on the Lee Powder die and you are in business. If you don't, you need a Dillon Powder Die and the little actuator that is part of the caliber conversion. Then you attach the Dillon powder measure and start loading.

I'm not sure that the rules would like it but I don't know that it is specifically forbidden, so ... Before you submit the classifier scores go into the registration area and change the division to the one they want.

The USA Shooting National Championships could end up being scheduled then. That's around their usual time.

I think the real question you have to ask is -- "How many of my 9mm shots miss the A zone by .05 inches?" Because that's how many will get promoted into an A. Assuming you hit the same place.

4.1 of Clays with a 230 LRN got me through a number of Chronos with plenty to spare when it was a 175 power factor.

3.8 - 4.0 grains of Clays with a 185 or 200 SWC is a fairly well known load for Bullseye. It works very well at 50 yds through most guns. Backing the powder down to 3.5+ works well, keeps the gun functioning and is much softer to shoot at 25 yds. 4.0 grains with a lead 230 was what I was using to get a 178 power factor

All I want in a match hotel is A clean quiet place to sleep That comes at a good price And a good set of directions to the hotel, range, and then a good place for beer and food. After that -- doesn't matter much.

You can usually find them on EBay, many are old and won't hold a scoped gun. That one says that it will hold a scoped browning but it looks like a very tight fit for a scoped 45. Ask for the dimensions before you bid on one. Especially since new ones aren't that much more. A better scope mount will be about $20.

They test the units with standard velocity ammuntion. Their manual doesn't say you have to use it but it also says that high velocity may not be as accurate. I've heard some people say that they had to use high velocity to keep it functioning and to break it in. Those problems usually go away in time or with a little fitting of the conversion to the frame. The web site does say that some Les Baer frames cause problems. That would be caused by having oversized rails for a good slide fit.

The easiest place for you to deal with might be Champion's Choice. http://www.champchoice.com/ http://www.champchoice.com/shop.php?pline=...OX&action=clear to see "Pistol Boxes" and accessories. I've dealt with them by mail order and at Camp Perry every year. They sell a lot of Bullseye and International shooting equipment.

They work well, I use one for Bullseye and some cheap practice. I prefer them on single stacks because the magazines are cheaper. They are also more suited to standard velocity ammunition.
