Now that USPSA has made the division official a lot of the pcc folks are busy petitioning for inclusion in trap and skeet. I suspect you you will see them return to pistol matches after the shotgun match issues are ironed out.

Have a steel challenge match Sat & USPSA Sunday. Like the first shot advantage for the latter & really like it for the former. Agree that deep seated winchesters will work, just prefer the best that I can get.

" Stock I has a cylindric barrel,113 mm long, that can get excellent results also using coated tender ammunition bullets." Can anybody out there translate Tanfo add type to English? I'm assuming both the Stock 1's and limited pros will be traditional button rifled barrels? Not sure why they would feel a need to mention coated bullets, some Tanfo's can't shoot coated lead like bayou & sns & etc. ?

Thanks!

A 6 pound pull in a wheel gun is the same as a 6 pound d.a. pull in a semi auto. I checked the math twice.

Any idea when it will make the USPSA production gun list?

Will be very interesting to see some independent comparison testing. Some shooters can make major power factor 40's & 45's appear to be extremely flat shooting so the video I'm taking with a grain of salt for now.

No debate. Not sure that the hero runs hurt anybody except the person that chooses to over classify. If somebody has A class field course skills but wants to compete against folks with M and GM class skills (for example) at matches I do not see the harm to anyone else. Now if there was a cure for sandbagging, and I only know 1 person that deliberately abuses the system that way, I would think it would be good for the sport as a whole. (And I haven't read the other thread yet)

Really not. Find what works to get a fair spread of people in the classifications according to skill level & then don't screw with it. Like handicapping is used in every other sport I can think of.

Anything that close and I will stick the gun in a freezer for a couple hours and make sure it works cold. May not be an issue here or for shooting conditions where you live but sometimes it can be a thing.

I'd peel off one more layer. What is the purpose of a classification? In the rest of the world it is to make competition the most fun for the greatest majority of participants by giving people a chance for friendly competition against other people of similar abilities.

How did this thread get Amish all of a sudden?

Likely what you would expect I suppose. My best 6 on the USPSA website are all classifiers that have hit factors that have now been raised 10% or more. Darn glad I did not class up when I got close last year.

Therin lies the rub for many of us. It would be nice to know. Worthwhile considering the cost of the rest & other issues, I do not know, but nice. Have toyed with the idea of buying the rest & offering it as a rental tool to try & recoup some of the investment.

I think we vote on people who we think will do the business needed to keep things running smoothly, and we vote on people who advertise changes they want when they are asking for votes. Beyond that, huge changes out of nowhere are always going to create unnecessary angst & not necessarily suit the best interests of the majority of the membership. It is not at all hard to advertise what changes you are considering, communicate the pro's and cons, and give the members a chance to weigh in and feel like their interests matter. As a side benefit it would add an interesting page or two to the USPSA publications which sometimes seem in need of more content.

I think the good answer is that you let the membership vote on all big changes.

I wondered about him actually. He also said that he made master at his first IDPA match & GM on his first USPSA classification card (SKILLS & DRILLS , book intro page vii). Interesting individual.

Comma's can do a lot to promote peace. For me once my grip is correctly established I think my hands could be coated in grease & it wouldn't matter until it was time to reload. For drawing & manipulating the gun I do not want my hands to be slippery though. When it is really sweaty outside I just grab a handful of whatever I am standing on (usually stone-dust-dirt here) at make ready, works well, stold the idea from Mr. Enos.

You can screw up on any brand of press, particularly when you are having issues or making adjustments. I've got a 550 and a 1050, "look in every case & stay focused" is where I am at also. I get more worries from junk inside the brass that makes it past the deprime station (something fluffy like vegetable matter or whatever), do not see that often and maybe it would not lead to a dangerous round but do see that filling a good portion of the case on a few rounds each year.

I doubt if there is much correlation.

Your misses are primarily right-left? If so I have been working on the same problem. Besides getting the eyes there faster have been wondering about the basic mechanics of maintaining gun alignment. In my case I am wondering if a bit more bend in the elbows would create a stronger/more stable means of maintaining right-left alignment, besides the fact that a shorter radius of swing seems like more efficient movement. Possibly something for you to experiment with??

I'm just getting started . If they want to move the entire membership down a class so we will all end up on a level playing field eventually and not be competing at matches as a either legitimate class "x" or a legacy scoring class "x" or both, then nobody is hurt. Else, the fact they pulled your football now should work greatly to your advantage on class finishes until you get the extra work in to belong in the new higher classification.

I think it is a plot to make old B class people who suck at competing against young B class people start to suck at competing against young C class people too. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Either that or it is a diversion so people quit bitching about pcc. Or they are trying to make C class equivalent to IDPA master.

Would be interesting to have someone video you and see if it is really your aiming. Folks tend to do a better job with trigger control when attempting to hit a small target, if it is a trigger control issue then you are not seeing the front sight lift (else you would already have figured it out).

Ok. Apparently I did not correctly interpret your point initially. No worries.
