  1. Its tough to be competitive and have a day job! LOL
  2. I was 7th senior. No trophy for me.
  3. The last two years at SS nationals most, not all but most, it was 7-8 rounds per position with more than one piece of steel.
  4. I dont get 15 round production. What good is that really? two arrays of 8 and 8 or 8 and 7 with steel thrown in.... you're still reloading.
  5. Aluminum is probably the preferred choice I just dont have one in the parts drawer.
  6. Thoughts? I dont think I want a 50+ oz gun to shoot minor.
  7. I think the lightened slide is great info. Probably takes away the ability to flat top / tri-top or cut holes and the remaining material might be too weak.
  8. Is the Staccato worth the premium over a Prodigy. The only thing that matters to me is out of the box reliability and accuracy. I’ll make everything else, trigger, grip, overall weight the way I want. Just can’t see how the Staccato is worth an extra grand.

  10. My whole problem with where things are going is this sport is (or was) based on three fundementals. DVC. Accuracy, Power, Speed. However, power is now gone. There is no skill required to manage recoil of 130pf ammo in a 50+ oz gun. Recoil control, managing the gun at speed, is an acquired skill developed from extended training. Its now just became a game of accuracy and speed. Its dumbed down. Marginalized. its like the tick tock of shooting. If your 23 and can run fast and are good at video games (putting the dot on target) you'll do well. Your grip can be ****, fundementals ****, but with a 53 oz gun shooting bunny farts you'll do well. Yes, Im just a bitter old man shooting Ltd major.
  11. Not every view has to present 8....
  12. Putting a popper behind a barrel is bad stage design all around. Recipe for reshoots
  13. Ahh. So “shoot the targets with only two shots each and then reload“ is only a guideline. Got it. That’s dumber than ****
  14. I think its pretty clear a penalty under 10.2.2 doesnt apply.... But one under 10.2.4 does.... because of the words "only two rounds per target".
  15. I have written NROI. I still believe (at least its unclear) that you can unbag at the start position under direct supervision of the RO (BEFORE MAKE READY). Otherwise, the last sentence of 5.2.1.7 is meaningless. "Failure to point the muzzle at a side berm OR BACK STOP during casing / uncasing.... will result in a DQ per 10.5.19" My reasoning is... You can't uncase pointing at the back stop in front of the side berm. Therefore Pointing the muzzle "towards the backstop" must refer to uncasing away from the side berm i.e. maybe the start line) It has to refer to uncasing BEFORE "make ready" because you can't get DQ'd AFTER "make ready" for pointing it somewhere other than the back stop (like say a target somewhere downrange). So what they MUST be saying is that under the direct supervision of an RO you can uncase pointing at the back stop but any other action like removing the chamber flag playing with the optic, etc. has to wait for "make ready".
  16. Whenever we bag handguns after a stage or end of the day an RO gives a "make ready", "unload and ..... etc.. This is clearly stated in the rules.
  17. OK but me an Boomstick are talking about a different situation. Specifically, when you walk to the line can you uncase pointed at the back berm before "make ready"? The rule says you can uncase under "direct supervision" not after "make ready". They could have written "make Ready" in the rules but didnt. And in fact the next sentence, which basically says you cant do anything gun manipulation other than uncase before "make ready" has no purpose if you're not allowed to uncase in front of the RO before "make ready"
  18. Agree Same here. My issue is we all seem to agree on what the rule means, although it doesnt seem to say exactly that.
  19. The side berm has nothing to do with this issue. You're saying that you can only bag pointing at the back berm after "make ready". Why doesn't the rule say that then? It only says "direct supervision" which is undefined. They could have written "unbag pointing at back berm after make ready".... and didnt.
  20. Exceptions are just that, exceptions. So if you're allowed to uncase under "direct supervision" pointing to the backstop you dont break the general rule of 5.2.1 In fact I'm more sure of it now because of the last sentence of 5.2.1.7 Why even write that while uncasing pointing at a backstop if you do more than uncase you still DQ under 10.5.19?? This sentence is meaningless if you're not allowed to uncase until "make ready". For it to have any meaning you have to be allowed to uncase under direct supervision, get the make ready command, and then you can do all the other actions.
  21. Im gonna have to disagree with this, after reading the rules. I know we've all "applied" the rule to mean unbag after make ready. But 5.2.1.7 says "PCCs can be cased / uncased ...under the direct supervision of a RO with the muzzle pointing at a backstop. Was he not under "direct supervision" of an RO? I think he was. If the rule was ment to say "uncase only after Make Ready" it would have said that. When someone cases a PCC after "if clear, hammer down, flag" with the muzzule pointing at the back berm are they still not under RO direct supervision. I think so. The commands do not include "bag it". If they are still not under a RO's "direct supervision" bagging while pointing at the back berm after the stage would be a DQ too. IMHO the rules dont call for a DQ here. If you're not allowed to unbag until after "make readt" they would have said that.
