Get pumped!!! There's still 49 slots available
Thats a cool video. Who did it?
I did! I'm working with Jay to create some pre-match promotional material as well as plenty of footage during the match as well.

Welcome! Have you ever gone to the big area and national matches there?
-
You got some sweet reloads my friend
-
Yep did that as soon as I got home! An inner got dislodged and jammed the whole system up

Monthly 2Gun match

Today was a bust...

G34 or G17
in Glock
34.
The grip size is the same, so might as well get the improvements of the longer slide. So you're buying a 19 and 26 as well? Or am I reading that wrong?

I'm no good reloading with bullets forward. That's how I do pistol mags but I'm all caveman with my rifle reloads

Yeah the springs on the AP's are kind of a drag to load but oh well, the 4x4's save a ton of space!

This is what helped me kick ass and have fun last match
I would love an English translation with a bouncing ball so I could sing (yell) along.
I WAS NERVOUS LAST MATCH BUT NOW I AM AGGRESSIVE AND MAKE ALL A'S, HOPE I DONT DQ, OOOPS I DQ'D, MAYBE I BETTER CALM DOWN

As being a film student and an interest in actor's craft, I thought Sarah Callies and Andrew Lincoln gave very impressive performances. The kid has alot left to be desired...
Whoever directed the Lori death scene, did it beautifully

Welcome! What do you shoot?

Our SPP assistant coach gave us a crash course on IDPA...
Not used to mag retention!!!

I've been doing the same thing. except with 10 round tube. keep 6 in. load the last 4. repeat.
Someone told me to keep that thumb in the ejection port and next to the tray at all times, its helped me for sure. Also, keeping the gun shouldered while loading seems to be smoother for me. Can't always do that depending on the COF though

You may have already tried this, but with mine it was just a dirty gas system. I had alot of FTE and at least one of the "stovepipe" failures you described.
It had not been cleaned in a while. Cleaned everything up real good and then gave it a dry moly lube. Didnt want future debris getting caught up and collecting in wet lube.
It ran fine for me after this, in cold weather, which is definitely proving grounds for 930's which are known to slow down quite a bit.

I do alot of video work outside of my shooting hobby and use Adobe Premiere. I like it because you have the option to "snap" clips together. Very quick editing process if you want to do a quick video, and the capability to do some really in depth work such as color correction with a vectorscope.
Here's some two view work I just got done doing with premiere
I use the headstrap and tilt it just enough where you can get the gopro out of the housing without moving the angle further. Footage looks right and is functional.
I use the 720 @ 60fps. This gives flexibility for some legit slo motion work. Youtube used to downgrade everything to 720 so there was no merit to use 1080...
but take a look at what the new gopro can do:

28.
Been loading the last 4 with 8 in the tube. Figure if I practice with high spring tension, itll make me better at low tension.

Wish I had a reason to buy more...

Her name is Maylene
Do you call the shells "The Sons of Disaster?"

loading 4 from the caddy and the load two methods are the main two I believe.

^I'm faster and smoother using Kurt Miller's technique of keeping the gun shouldered. Added benefit of keeping the gun up ready to go for second engagements

With a range of chokes, I believe shotshell choice is pretty lenient.
Birdshot - cheapest, whatever cycles. Make sure your gas system is clean before testing
buckshot - havent had to use it in a match because of a long barrel and choke
Slugs - Alot of people go for low recoil stuff. I just got the cheapest Winchester loads from Walmart. May want to do some extensive testing if you want more than entire IPSC torso accuracy
Banners and See-Thru Walls at Area 6

We were notified at our stage (4) on Sunday afternoon. This was when the rain started really pouring down and one of the banners was blown down range. It didn't seem to make a difference. As mentioned above, shooting into the sun and slogging in the mud had a much greater effect. So did avoiding ruts left on the stage by hundreds of other shooters. It's part of shooting major outdoor matches at the end of the day. Especially in Florida
