  1. May I be so bold as to ask you what Dish charges you? We are in a never ending battle with Cox Cable over our subscription. They raise our fee, my wife called and threatened to quit. They knocked off $50 for several months then raised us $11. She called and threatened to quit again. They knocked off $20 for six months. It drives us crazy.

  2. I started with a manual do-all and moved up to a better manual do-all. I tied a rope to the pull lever and my left leg. The traps operated well, put the rope pull didn't. I moved to a do-all aerial assault. It proved to be unreliable. I bought an AT50 from Atlas. I should have bought the Atlas AT50 first. It is an excellent trap and I now have an AT250 along with it.

  3. Check out the Atlas AT250. It is a carousel with 250 clay capacity. I have one and an AT50, also. I set up a skeet range with them. I don't have their website at hand, but google Atlas. Scott and John are very easy to work with.

  4. Plus 1 for the Beretta 391. I have two. One has a sporting clays stock and one has the parallel target stock. Very versatile and soft shooting gun. The 391 with the sporting stock was my first clays gun. I have tried O/Us, some costing $5,000. I have always come back to the 391.

  5. You might look at a Tristar imported Canik55 C100. It is a clone of the CZ PCR. I picked one up recently and it seems to be a good shooter and a good value. I am not at all anti CZ. I have a 75 Shadow and an SP01.

  6. My rear sight was so tight that I couldn't budge it with a sight pusher. I had to apply Kroil oil to it a couple of times and let it sit overnight. I then rapped it with a flat aluminum punch that I made from bar stock. Every gun is different it seems.

  7. My 5" Pro shot way low and left out of the box. And not just for me but for two good shooters. After corresponding with S&W customer service a few times, I was sent a return authorization. The front sight was exchanged for a shorter one that brought the POI up to the correct elevation. The front sight was also installed properly which brought the POI back to the center.

  8. I have a 75 Shadow and an M&P 5 inch in 9mm. The M&P is faster by about 20 fps. The IDPA rules allow you to test your ammo against the longest barreled legal pistol in your division. Most likely the testers are using a 5 inch barrel or longer in the case of

    the Glock 34. If you know your ammo passes PF with your M&P, take it to the match. If your ammo fails, you have the right to another test in the legal gun of your choice. Your Shadow does not have to make PF, as long as, another legal gun will. That is in IDPA. I do not know how USPSA treats this situation. Also, remember to raise the muzzle of your gun before each shot. I space that out periodically.

  9. You can make a fiber optic insert wider. You will need fiber optic rod that you can get from CZ Custom. Remove your current rod and replace with the correct size. Then heat up the end of the rod as show on CZC website. I just did it and the first try I had the fiber optic end nearly as wide as the rear sight notch. Second try was just right. Rod costs $3 for 6 inches plus shipping. Six inches will do a lot of sights.

  10. On my 75 Shadow I run 1.165 without any problems. I did the push test and got 1.195. Now that is with a Berry's Round Nose. I can only load flat points to 1.06. Do the push test and see what you get and then back off .015.
