$40.00. yes it does include screws, however The heads on the screws are not an ideal fit. they stick up just a tad. Unfortunately, due to the the hardware screw thread Smith uses, common gun screws won't fit. As far as using a file, I would suggest you send the slide to me and let me machine it on the correct radius to match the sight. I can also build a lug into the adapter that will fill the void between the rear of the sight and the slide notch. It will cost a tad more, but I think it would be worth it in the long run. as far as refinishing the slide, the machined area will not be visible when the sight is installed, so refinishing would be optional.

Just going to throw this out for any who may be in need. I built some mounts for a couple friends, so since I already have the programming I can build more. Unfortunately, the sight has to be mounted on top of the slide because it will not fit into the cut out because of screw location. I can also do a small amount of machining on the slide and mount it in the cut out, but this will require the slide be refinished and may interfere with the light sensor on the dp pro.

I dont know about steel challenge, but I heard someone was told no in the NSSF matches for short barrel.

This is going to be a great match. Lots of really fast shooters have registered.

Thanks Dwight. Zack, I wish you could make it.

I have been working with Shoot'n Score it the past few weeks. They have done a very good job of setting up their system to take online registrations and payments via paypal for nssf matches. They have a scoring system in place with all NSSF penalties supported. You can print score sheets, stages, and all stats. you can enter scores via internet. In my case,, I will be taking registrations and payments on SSI and importing to practiscore for scoring on ipads. As soon as I figure out how to make the import work. LOL

I guess, I would probably go with what the shooters want on this. I like the idea of a Pro Class because I think it adds a lot of opportunity to the sport. again as an option. I see the plus side to either way on the prize table, but it's really not up to me.

When the rule change forms come about, You can submit for that rule change. What you say about round count and lowering the cost is very true. However, I would not support that rule myself if for no other reason, I want beginning and newer shooters to have ample opportunity to complete a course of fire. Plus, I miss a lot myself.

Sorry, I will clarify as I use Practiscore as well. We set up 5 stages and shoot all 5 stages with up to 3 different guns for a total of 15 stages if you count it like you do. However, I set up practiscore with all conventional divisions and add Rim Open Rifle, Rim Lim Rifle, Rim Open Pistol, Rim Lim Pistol. I then have shooters to register and squad for each division they shoot. In this way, all guns are scored separately. You can see what I mean if you look at the scores at http://www.oldfortgunclub.com/organized-shooting-sports/steel-challenge/2015-match-results/march-steel-2015/. Those who shot multiple guns are listed multiple times.

At Club matches - I always set up 5 stages, with 5 targets. I do not move the box or targets. I allow people to shoot with pistol only, rifle only, or both if they want to save some ammo. I score the guns individually to accommodate. I use 3/8 plates and allow centerfire handguns as well. I generate a lot of people in this way and our club matches usually average 50 or more. The way I see it, the more versatility I can add to my club match the more people I can get hooked on the game. I do not advertise my Monthly club match as an NSSF match because of these deviations. but a whole lot of NSSF shooters show up for it, As well as ladies wanting some extra practice with their CC gun. Of course these ladies usually become NSSF shooters once I put my Buckmark in their hands.

Dwight. To be fairly done there has to be a split between open and limited entries. So, the pay out is based on the number of entries in that division not between combined divisions. Basically I am saying limited class money needs to stay in limited class as well as the open class staying in open class. Yes, There will likely be fewer limited entries so therefore first place will pay less. but that is a decision the shooter has to make and still yet, the payback for winning in limited still stands to be a greater return than walking the prize table for a donated rifle. Also, and I have seen many times where a contestant asks if a person is shooting what class before they register so they will make a decision on whether or not to shoot that class based on who they think they can beat. So, you may see the limited pro class grow due to some pro shooters believing they stand a better chance of a check shooting Limited. Also, There will have to be be some match fees deducted for match function at least the first few years, maybe indefinitely but this should not be more than the amateur match entry. so it breaks down like this 10 entries in limited class at $200 = $125 after deduction = $1250.00 = $937 for 1st place $313 for 2nd place and that is without any added money. Again, I am only thinking out loud here because I know nothing about how it is going to be set up. But I do see some potential here and would like to know what it would take to make it work.
