  1. I had this when i picked up powerlifting again after 10 years away. that and shooting 1k rounds per week were just too much. I work on shoulder, bicep, tricep, forearm stretching. I don't use straps when lifting so i keep by grip strength up.

    this takes months to go away, and will flare up from time to time.

  2. You need to start aggressive grip strengthening, active and passive stretching. Avoid steroid injections as they do little to no good for this problem.

    buy some handballs, or those stress reliever balls and go to work. Or buy the grippers and get started.

    You also need to work on the extensors, (they bring your hand back) those are the ones that are weak and thus create this problem.

    Get a large plastic jar something your hand can fit into, fill it with sand, splay your fingers out and pull up hold and hold for as long as you can. load more sand as you get stronger.

    ice, ice, ice, ice. 3-4 times per day.

    stretching, pull you hand and fingers back, or push against a wall. do a search for more stretches, my carpal tunnel is acting up. <_<

  3. If i'm shooting a single stack only match, you have to go with major to avoid the point loss. If i'm shooting a regular uspsa match along with Limited, Open shooters, i.e., long field courses, going minor and having the extra rounds will help you. Typically state, sectional or area matches tend to have medium to long field courses and very few arrays that are single stack friendly even with the 8 round arrays that uspsa wants.

    for IDPA, 9mm is the only solution that makes sense.

  4. You get a incredibly awesome journal with your IDPA membership!!!!!

    Our local clubs here don't seem to enforce the rule, I think their turnouts would be less.

    The only people who seemed to get amped up by this issue are the IDPA purists. I say live and let live.
