  1. I have had experiences on both ends of the spectrum. During one nationals at Barry if you didn't run to a target you were left with pasters on your fingers the competition to tape was just as fierce as the shooting. Then there was an Area 6 match that 3/4 of the squad would move on to the next stage before the squad was done. The same people tape, score, and RO at every match it is very predictable who is going to do what. Match directors should be told when particular people fail to help so they can talk to them about proper behavior.

  2. My G34 slide just cracked at the ejection port. It happened during a local match causing the gun to lock up. When we got the slide open I noticed the crack in the slide. It is an early G34 I got it when they first came out. I have about 100,000 rounds of production loads though it. Never put any heavy loads though it. I was shocked. I am sending it back to Glock for replacement.

  3. Many years ago at a major match (an A6 to be exact), an RO told me to load and make ready in a normal tone of voice. I did, and got in the start position. He then said, "Are you ready? Stand by." Much louder. You should have seen the look on his face when we hear "Hold it!!! Range is not clear! Stop!!!! :surprise: There was an RO still down range behind a barricade. The RO with timer freaked. He did not know what to do. I held my hands in the air until the other RO came running back behind the start position. The RO with the timer then asked me to unload. When I was clear, he went and sat down for a minute. For that reason, I ALWAYS state that the "Range is going hot." I always look and check for myself, but I will take no chances.

    This happenned to me to. RO said load and make ready which I did them another RO ran out from behind the wall ( he was resetting a mover). I got me very upset but didnt seem to bother the RO. It took me a couple of minutes until I assumed the start position. Now I look behind walls myself when I am shooting.

  4. I was shocked and saddened to hear about Bill. I talked to him before the 3-gun match at Topton started. I was surprised to hear he didn't finish the match and went home sick but I never dreamed this would happen. Bill was an extremely nice guy always will to help. My condolences to his daughter Dawn and the rest of his family.
