I think it is a great way to go. As a cautionary note I found that if I shot my .22 allot it messed up my timing. So when shooting the .22 I only shot one round per target, no doubles. As stated above, it is a great tool for running movement drills and such and no brass to pick up.

I am living proof that anyone in this game who puts their mind to it and puts the work in can earn their GM card. My fist card was D-L10 seven years later I got my open GM card. Think of all the stages we shoot that require a one to three step move, you have enough room in any condo/apartment/garage to practice those.

It is amazing how much time guys will waste trying to save a few tenths.

That seems to answer your question. The magazine was taken from the shelf; it was just placed on the table top during the draw. If you tried to issue me a procedural you had better get your rule book out and point to a specific rule. I would read the stage procedure as don't load off your belt, but from the mag that started on the shelf.

I've done it, but I think it's a loser. No that I've answered your question on the legality of the move.

You will have to learn the native language if for some strange reason you get suckered into Louisiana.

Cool.

Sharyn: I was in no way crapping your idea, or trying to discourage, I think what you are doing is admirable.

Camaras are a lot like pistols, the nut pulling the trigger often has more to do with the outcome than the gear.

Thanks. Will there be a match hotel? Where will awards be done?

How soon?

I agree, however some of us will be there and would like to see what's happened. With out proper (commentary, interviews, ect.) editing a live broadcast of a match might be very boring with all the time between shooters. Just a thought.

What about the new iPhone? Video with a quick share function one could post clips to youtube seconds after a shooter is finished with a stage.

This is all good advice; mine would be to shoot as many as you can before you make the big purchase. Most people at a match will be happily to let you shoot their blasters, it helps if they know you, or see you at shooting a few matches (I might have a hard time letting some complete stranger shoot my baby). Also look at some used pistols for a good deal on a starter.

about time.

That's the best thing I've heard all day.

Warm.

Great match, I was worn out after one day, the staff did an exceptional job with some tuff conditions. Thanks guys and ladies. My video:

Mitch was in the squad ahead of us, and he had some smoking runs. We also talked quit a bit (they made us wait for them a few times) and he learned a lot shooting with Manny, and has his head in the right spot.

I lube my shaft every chance I get!

I'm going to have nightmares about those pants, thanks! Good job.

Wow 45 degrees, you should get out more, every nationals and area match i have ever shot has had targets that were way past 45 degrees.

On one of Saul's Med Cup DVD's there is a stage just like this but the shooter starts in the middle of the corridor and the pistol is placed on a table/barrel to the shooters right. I don't see a big problem with it. At this years SMM3G I dumped loaded guns all over the place and ran up range with no problems. Oh but maybe the table/barrel does not safely ... okay I won't go there.
