Rowdy, I had a great time. Shot the L10 ok, but screwed up the SS. But, regardless I had a good time, went to the awards, etc. Got to see some friends I had not seen for a long time. Will probably stay closer to home from now on and will shoot as long as I can. Started in 1979 and I am 70, but still have several good years left. Thanks to everyone that responded to my OP. Ron

First time shooting at the Frost Proof Range; does anyone have any advise? I am staying in Sebring and shooting back to back for the first time. L10 then SS with same pistol. Bringing an identical gun as back up and plenty of ammo along with wagon (w/rain cover), rain gear, water, Gatorade, snacks, etc. Have shot several Area matches over the years, but this is my first Nationals. Shooting PM/AM/PM in both matches. Any advise will be appreciated. Thanks.......

That is a nice looking pistol. Thinking about it, I believe my buddy did the EGW ignition change as well.......

Thanks for the info. I'd love to have a single digit lead level. Doing what my Dr told me to do and will let everyone know how it goes. Great job getting your level down. I really do not miss shooting indoors that much. Being retired I can shoot outdoors more. Thanks again!

Rusty, Not sure what you are asking? We haven't shot the 2019 SS Nationals yet. I looked on the USPSA match page and do not see a listing for 2020 SS Nationals? Just looked on Practiscore and could not find any info on the 2020 SS Nationals? Give us a little more info. Thanks, Ron

Chris, Sorry to hear about your breech face problems. Hope you get this taken care of soon. Years ago I almost bought a 40sw LTD pistol until I saw pitting on the breech face, very similar to your LB. I have not seen another one since that, but have heard of primer blow back and breech faces being damaged. I'd give LB an opportunity to fix the problem. Hopefully he'd replace the side on his dime. If not Clark Custom sounds like they have done this before. Ron

Hey Chris, It was good to hear from you the other day. I know you are a Doctor and I would appreciate any advise you can give me (anyone else here reading these posts). I do not touch the banana or granola bars I eat at the range. I wash hands, if I can't then I wipe them with a D-Lead wipe. And I do not sweep up brass. I do run the clock too much, but since I am no longer shooting indoors, that will stop. My lead was 33.5 in Feb. Stopped shooting indoors and did things my Dr suggested I do. Had it checked again in Aug and it had dropped to 24.9. Going to
