Gary built both my Open and Limited guns and I'm really happy with them (and I'm an old bullseye shooter ). Like others have said, the guns are tight and run great. Best bet is to talk to Gary about your expectations. I'm sure he can build you something you will really like.

Gary Natale at GANS. Gun works great and and he's a first class guy!

Sure would have been nice to see what the PF was through my gun - getting ready to load Nationals ammo and wanted verification my load was good to go. Getting the tested PF was not easy - had to search through a bucket of ammo bags at the chrono after shooting was done. The PF written on the card in the bag was much higher than was ever measured before.

Who's Judgement takes precedence at a club match?
Ron Rodgers replied to atek3's topic in USPSA/IPSC Rules
I keep telling that particular shooter to slow down a little so we can see his reloads, but he just won't listen -
Pittsburgh Shooters

Taking cover .... -
A couple of years ago I polled all the shooters at a monthly match about their target preference: 1. Metric only 2. Classic only 3. A mix (obviously not on the same COF) Option #3 was chosen by the large majority - maybe about 80%. The general consensus was that a target is a target, and it was nice to change things up occasionally. The remaining votes were pretty evenly split between options #1 & #2! So - we use both. Over the course of the year, we're about half and half .... but strictly turtles when its going to rain. (hate droopy heads!)

I need a mount for my new Meopta K-Dot, and was thinking about either the LaRue SPR or SPR-E. For me, the Meopta eyepiece should be about an inch forward of the rear of the charging handle. From some of the other posts, I'm fairly certain the SPR-E would work fine, but I'd prefer the shorter mount. Looking at pictures of the SPR, it seems like it may work - but just barely. Anyone have any experience with a Meopta and SPR? Thanks.

The difference between a great match and a "not-so-good" match is largely due to the staff. At most majors, they are there for 4 days or so, putting in long days to make everyone else's match safe and enjoyable. You can't attract or keep quality staff if you don't treat them well. What Flex mentioned is a "standard" package. To his list, I would add drinks on the range, and a portion of the donated prizes held back for a staff drawing.

2008 Pro-Am on TV!
Ron Rodgers replied to gmshtr's topic in Match Announcements - Pistol Only - USPSA, IPSC & Misc.
Ummm ... I didn't say that YOU did. That's the one. The point I was trying to make was that WE have an interest in seeing the "mortals" shoot because we may know someone who shot the match, or might have even shot it ourselves. But, I'd bet that most everyone else who were tuned in, would rather see the top dogs in action. With only a few minutes to cover the match and tell the story, you can only cover so much. hoopla??? -
2008 Pro-Am on TV!
Ron Rodgers replied to gmshtr's topic in Match Announcements - Pistol Only - USPSA, IPSC & Misc.
Coverage of the Pro-Am was first class. Given the format of a half-hour show, I thought they did an excellent job of explaining the game, showing us what the match looked like, and capturing the excitement of a very close finish. Sure, it would have been nice to see more people shooting, but face it, unless you or someone you knew was shooting, most everyone out there wants to see the super squad shoot. Shooting USA is a great show - about the only thing on TV worth arranging your schedule around. It's way out of line to rudely hammer them because they didn't cover the match exactly the way you wanted. -
Thanks Flex. It is a 3 pin model, and you may be right about his spring being bent out of shape. His slide stop felt different than the one on my 34. I'll take a look at his spring and compare it to mine. He shot my 34 with no problems.
-
That was my first thought too. I watched him shoot a while, and his thumbs are definitely below the slide. It is the original (not extended) slide stop.
-
I'm stumped by this one .... A friend's G22 slide locks back after every shot when he shoots it, but works fine for everyone else. His grip isn't too bad, except he keeps his hands a little too low on the grip. No part of his hand or thumb are riding the slide. Since it only happens for him, it must be something he's causing. But still .... this shouldn't happen to a Glock! The gun & mags are clean and no problems are obvious to me ... but that isn't saying much Except for a drop in trigger, its all stock parts, and not used very hard. Any ideas? Ron

Open / L-10 Nats Banter
Ron Rodgers replied to ChuckS's topic in Match Announcements - Pistol Only - USPSA, IPSC & Misc.
Nope - East Huntingdon has always had gravel range surfaces. Only one stage at the '00 LTD Nationals was on the grass. Without drainage tile or other turf improvements, stone surfaces work best for us in our part of the country. -
Thanks for the compliments about the match! I’m sure you’re all aware that a match like this only works because of the people involved. We had 15 to 20 people who braved a solid week of rain to set up the stages, and then clean up the mud. A total of 50 staff people were involved in presenting you with a fun and challenging match. I can't thank them all enough - their efforts were all above and beyond! Anyway, we hope you had fun at the 2008 Area 8 Championship. Ron Rodgers Match Director

Just an update for all of you coming to the match .... There were 10 to 15 people out this weekend dodging the raindrops. It was pretty wet out there, but we got it done - the stages are built! We'll spend the next couple of days fine tuning, decorating, and making things a little nicer for you all. For whatever it's worth, the long term forecast says weather for the match days will be outstanding See you at the match!

Jim's too lazy to push the"new thread" button

An email went out early this week passing along some match information to those already registered. There is an error Registration opens at 7:30 AM on Friday, Saturday and Sunday - not at 10 AM. So don't worry about coming out a day earlier to check in. Sorry about the goof. A correction will be sent out shortly. Ron Rodgers

4 classifier match this Sunday (4/27) at East Huntingdon. Classifiers will be 99-27 (Lefty’s Revenge), 99-43 (Color Blind), 06-10 (Steely Speed VII) and 99-48 (Tight Squeeze). There will also be 2 field courses. A great chance for new shooters to get a quick classification and an opportunity for old-timers to get classified in a new Division. We have open squadding, so come early and go through more than once. Registration is open from 8:45 until 1:00. www.geocities.com/ehpsa/ Sorry for the late notice, but preparing for that darn A8 Championship has me waaay behind.
