He does volunteer. He was rangemaster at the Colorado ICORE regional. He runs 2 matches each month, one IDPA and one USPSA. When I was short volunteers at my USPSA match last month, Mattie drove an hour and 20 minutes each way to put a stage on the ground for me.

Not just no. Hell no. Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas

My feelings as well. I wanted to go this year but I decided against it when the stage diagrams were released

If the stages have movement and interesting shooting challenges the round count shouldn't matter. The rounds you should be counting are the ones you shoot in practice. You all do practice, right?

Remember, they pick these questions to encourage you to dig into the rule book. Not all of the answers will be obvious at first.

I've got one of Jack's J frames with the hybrid ports, it does recoil down slightly even with 38 +Ps.

Why don't we have a like button on the forum?

There's a classifier match before the match composed almost completely of new classifiers?

Not on every stage. Were there targets available while you were moving? Were there multiple options on how to shoot the field stages?

Ditch the factory crimp die

I thought most of these were ok... https://forums.brianenos.com/topic/292971-2021-icore-rocky-mountain-regional-revolver-championship/?do=findComment&comment=3263305

I don't care to travel across half the country to shoot a match that is composed of shooting from boxes or shooting thru ports. It's not 1992.

Matches are not training. Find a new range. You may have to drive further than you want to, but if you want to get better at moving and shooting you have to move and shoot in practice.

If the stages look like this year's stages at the IRC, I won't be there

Was the target visible from where the shot was taken?

This really belongs over in the multi gun section. https://forums.brianenos.com/forum/48-rifle-technical/

In theory, yes. Shooting minor, I don't know how much of this matters. My 627 holds A zone to at least 50 yards, and ICORE X ring to probably 30. I'm more concerned about accuracy and function than recoil.

If S&W sold revolvers pre-tuned for competition that only worked with Federal primers, there would be a small cottage industry of people making them work reliably with any primer the customer wanted. You realize that we're the weird ones here, right?

Huh? Why would someone practicing a stage be a problem? My club sets up published stages at the monthly match with some regularity. Things never look the same on the ground twice. If it gets people excited to go shoot a major match, all the better

He offers a lot of work in his competition packages. Time ain't cheap.

B and C class shooters are always fascinated with the concept of "paper GMs", I never hear Masters and GMs using that term. You get out of the alphabet classifications yet?

With the big mags are you shooting faster than you can see? What percentage of the available points are you shooting with the two guns?

I was considering taking one of the open spots, but I'm not interested in that many stand and shoot stages.

Never mind. I was looking for a match book, not individual PDFs for each stage. Wow. I don't know what their setup crew looks like, but that's a lot of shooting boxes for a major match.

Do you need to be registered for the match to see them?
