I voted yes, because my grip safety is disabled on my primary gun, but my backup gun has it active. This is just the way I have both of them. I really could care less, since I have never had a grip problem engaging the grip safety.

CRO

Chris, I would have asked the RO what happened, and then discussed it with him from there. I don't know a single RO or MD in CO that I would be hesitant to approach.
Well.... OK, maybe one, but just that one.
Now now...lets not get personal

I have just finished setting up the 1st pass of our clubs new website on GoDaddy. I have been using MS Publisher to build the site and so far it is doing what I want. I am lousy w/HTML so I haven't figured out how to make the links open a new page or tab, but for what I need it works.
It is www.clearcreekpracticalshooters.org if you want to check it out. I have also built a custom 404 page and set up GoDaddy to send any bad pages to it. If you want to see that just modify or add to the end of a page to make it a bad page such as .org/gunporn

Something all the amatur gunsmiths like (and the professionals like us to have)
DREMEL TOOLS and BITs.

If it is anything like a load master the shell plate should be all you need.

From new 2008 rule book C-1 Popper Calibration:
7. In the absence of any interference, or problem with a target mechanism, acalibration officer must conduct a calibration test of the subject popper
Looking closer at C1-7 it clearly says absense of a problem with the target mechanism before a shooting a calibration challenge. I think this means ROs are required to check the mechanism W/O touching before ordering a calibration shot. If the popper is incorectly set or something is jamming up the works then it is a reshoot automatically w/o a calibration.
The 2004 rules did not have the "problem w/target mechanism" wording, although I usually checked this since there has be several times I have found Poppers set incorrectly.

As MD for our local matches I have had many a stage gamed in ways I didn't think of.
I have found that a good way of catching a lot, is to hang back as setup is being finished and watch the shooters go through their prematch walk throughs. You can usually see if someone has found something you didn't see. Then you can decide if you want to leave it for risk vs reward, or if it will take away 1/2 of the challenge you were attempting to create. Someone looks at the 1/2 upper A zone between the 2-NS that saves 10 steps, I will probably leave it there. A lean around a barracade that gives a full target that was intended to be taken 4 steps futher over, then something gets changed. Everything is relative.

Watch This....OK, you don't have to watch it all.
Then watch this:

I'm with you, Joe, but don't try it.
I set up a stage for Area 6 two years ago that 'favored' taller shooters in one spot, and a couple of the Little Folk threatened to arbitrate and have the stage thrown out. I don't know it they would have won the arb, but the mess it would have caused just wasn't worth it. We modified the stage to ensure it wouldn't get tossed.
I am 6-2, and I agree that most ports and obstacles favor shorty's but there has been more than once that I can take a shot over a NS that a short person can't. But the truth of the matter is, One can make themself a little shorter on a stage by squatting, but it is really tough to oneself taller.

Will most likely work, but I suggest either doubling up for 1-1/2 inches or see if Home Depot/Lowes, or someone else has a scratch & dent solid core door. They make fantasic bench tops.

Those are from yesterday in Pompalona I believe. The 2nd one is of 2 American brothers (gored at the same time no less) according to one news story I saw.

I especially like the volumn and music selection knobs.

I think 6.6.3 currently covers it pretty well.
6.6.3 A match, tournament or league will be deemed to have started onthe first day that competitors (including those specified above)
shoot for score and will be deemed to have ended when the
results have been declared final by the Match Directo
Match starts on the 1st day that shooting starts. Why make it more difficult. Only loophole I can think of is if you had a match with a day before walkthrough, or a match scheduled to start gets delayed by a day due to weather, and no shots actually get off so the match doesn't officially start that day.
10.3.1 A competitor who commits a safety infraction or any other prohibitedactivity while an IPSC match is in progress will be disqualified from
that match, and will be prohibited from attempting any remaining
courses of fire in that match regardless of the schedule or
physical layout of the match. An IPSC match is said to be "in progress" for
a given competitor from the time said competitor arrives at the match range
on a scheduled competition day until said competitor leaves the range OR
until the results have been declared final by the Match Director, whichever
comes first.
What do you think?

From the technical specifications listed on the Shooting Chrony website for the F1 (and others)
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSThe Chrony reads velocity in feet-per-second (or metres-per-second) and works in a velocity range from 30 fps to 7000 fps (10 mps to 2134 mps

I tried using the "new" para mags with the funky 5th coil. Finally gave up and chunked the whole lot. Fortunately I still have my old springs, and put them back in.
Hopefully someone has some decent springs out there.

This is my little project that I inherted from my Dad. Runs OK, but needs lots of TLC, a little engine work, and some restore time
It is a fun car to take out on weekends, when the top is off.

A lot of people have suggested that limiting the divisiotns at the match level is the easy solution, but according to the poll done just a couple of weeks ago, that is suicide for a club that wants to keep its membership.
Yeah, we all want competition, but only when it is convienant for what we want to do. Look at the Poll
http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=39953
Only 27% thought limited divisions to increase competition is a good thing.
I even suggested when PSSD came out, to alternate matches being race gun (Open, Limited, L10) and stock gun (Production, PSSD, and Revo). I suggested this for the very reason that we often have matches with only 4 or 5 max in a division, and most with only 2 or 3.
The facts are, we have too many divisions w/o enough real differences to play all divisions in all small matches. Sure it works at the Area Matches, State Matches, etc, when you have 100s of shooters, but it doesn't work well at local matches with only 30 shooters or less.
As MD, I would love to do something like alternating matches like I suggested above, but my membership responded similar to the poll.

Be at Pueblo by 7:30 to 8:00 for the safety orientation there. The match starts at 10:00. There are 7 USPSA matches a month along the front range. From east of Ft. Collins down to Pueblo.
Check out www.ecouspsa.com for a listing of all the matches along the front range, both USPSA, IDPA, steel, 3-gun.
Arizona is shooting heaven, but Colorado is Paradise.
If you can bring 200 rounds, by all means do so, but if not, bring what you got, and with the group of guys down there will fill in what you need.
Give Bob Waltzer (aka Lizard) a call (his number is one the ecouspsa website) and he will do whatever he can to help you out.

a dryer sheet really cuts down on the dust when you open and sift the tumbler. I might try a dusting sheet sometime soon, I bet it works even better.

Didn't Mr. Bane do this exact thing on his Shooting Gallery show?

Use a Glock 31 with Speer Gold Dots....Cuts down of reshoots that way
OK....In reality, for our local matches we usually use the club President's HK 9mm with his reloads.
