    +1 on Dan Bedell, I sent him my slide, barrel and frame for him to fit. Fast and fair priced.

    Production is a fine place to learn this game and you may find yourself wanting to stay there for more than a year. While open is fun, it brings a whole new set of challenges. I am learning that the hard way right now.

    While setting a goal of hitting "A" class is a great thing, focus more on your match performance. Classifications will come with time. Compare yourself to the "better" shooters at your local matches and see what they are doing differently. Find one of the top shooters in your division and squad with them. You will learn a lot this way.

    Since you are new to the sport, here is my advise.

    1. Dry fire, Dry fire, Dry fire... make all the basic gun handling skills subconscious.

    2. Try to live fire at least once a week to confirm your dry fire. Personally, I live fire 2 to 3 times a week. I work on specific drills once or twice a week to improve in certain areas and try to setup a stage once a week to get a better understanding of my overall performance.

    3. Have someone video you at the match. You will quickly identify the areas that you need to work on.

    4. Get into reloading if you aren't yet. While this will not save you money, (you will shoot more) it will allow you to tailor a load to your gun to get the best possible performance. Also reloading is a must if you do go to open in the future.

    5. Get exposure to a few major matches.. Nebraska has two matches coming up.. The Great Plains Sectional and the Area 3 Championship.

    If you do decide to go to open in the future, get what you want the first time as it will save you a ton of cash in the long run.

    I just sold both of my stock2 recently to concentrate in open division and help me fund another open build but thats comes after I made A in production now I'm at 83% in production. I bought my first open gun from a forum member on here just to learn from it while I was heavily into production. Things I learnt from shooting open have helped me a lot in production since some of the stuffs you can't really see or do in production.

    How much red dot bounce?

    You can make pretty much anything work. I wouldn't try to make the gun flatter by changing your load, try paying more attention to the fundamentals of your grip and stance. It is very easy to become lazy behind the gun when you shoot open.

    +1 also pay attention to your grip I've known people jump the conclusion his dot is unpredictable!
