Here is another good deal from Evike... http://www.airsoftpost.com/version-full-me...ck-p-24053.html

Ok I'll chime in here too. I used to dryfire 45min- 1 hour 5 days a week. I first started dryfiring the IDPA classifier in its entirety. Then made up specific drills for each day. Monday: Draws, Tuesday: Transition, Wednesday: Movement, Thursday: Barricades and Friday: Steel. I remember telling myself there is but one way to get better, and you wanna get better right? A couple things that help is to change your routine and drills. Limit the total time you spend each day. And reward your self by seeing your name rise in the match results. I have since been using Airsoft for an alternative to dryfiring for about 3-4 years. And I think I get more out of the training. It seems more realistic, effective and definitely more fun. Brings training for steel to a whole new level and even makes shooting Groups possible so you can work on those fundamentals. There are models that accurate to make this possible.

The mags are quite close to the same weight as a real loaded mag. And the loaded Airsoft pistol weighs in at about 2oz heavier than my empty 6" Limited/L-10 gun.

The first ever Airsoft Texas Star, stop plate training.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSFfuxhHeGI

Here is a sweet little target system I just started practicing with today. BAM Airsoft ROCKS!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSFfuxhHeGI

Your welcome and yes, should be a new thread.

I have a spare outer barrel I can send ya if you need it. I'm using an older CED 6000 I bought here on the forum. BAM's stop plate plugs right in and work great. Lemme know if you want the outer barrel.

So Anon. Let's hear it bro. Let's see some run times and hit factors.

BAM's stop plate is tough as nails and will last forever! I am totally happy with it. I just need a "plate" one...I supposed it would be easy to retro-fit a plate for the Colt popper that I have now.

I have one sitting in my garage already!

Dave have you checked with Evike? I know they don't list Glock stuff on the website. But Eric said to call in and order through him for now. Seems to be some sort of copyright thing going on with all the Glock stuff.

I practice in the garage with the door open and in the backyard. Not trouble from neighbors so far. In the background of one of my vids you can see a kid stop on his bike to watch for awhile and then leave. But that is about it.

Another great match is in the books! Wonderful weather, great stages and good people made this event a joy to be a part of. Many many thanks to Ray VanValkenburg (Match Director) and crew. So much work goes into these events. So for all the unseen efforts, my hats are off to all those involved. Great food and nice trophies rounded out an awesome match. Congrats to all the Division and Class winners! You can see all the hard work folks have been putting in all year.

Great stuff John. There are some really great ideas there.

Got some video today to be posted later. Had 4 good runs 2 bad ones. Great stages and having a great time other than a few disappointing runs along the way. But without the bobbles, the good runs don't seem to have as powerful of an effect. I am looking forward to rocking the last three stages tomorrow! Hopefully I am doing well enough to be in the "wood".

May I suggest a more freestyle format so that they don't get to be so much of a "standards" tape of courses of fire? And what type of stop plate are you guys using? I am using the Colt Popper stop plate that Burt and Phil make at BAM Airsoft.

I was just about to sign up as a member of AAPS because of their postal matches. If I can still use my BAM Airsoft Colt Popper stop plate I'll be in. And ready to start.

I'm still using the 6" gun Matt Cheely built for me. Looking into having a 9mm top end built for it for Steel Challenge as well.

Did you start noticing it when you started using Propane?

Interesting indeed. I'm using the .23g right now and find them noticeably more stable than the .20g. I'll be using .25g next.

It's all been said above and I conquer Landis. Hope to see it next weekend in Edgewood!

I just ordered one of these little jems to help practice my ability. I have seen several options in action and have seen many people that can shoot a star well. But I just need some practice to improve. This little apparatus will be getting a workout! http://www.myspace.com/bamairsoft

I have been using BAM Airsoft targets to practice Steel Challenge stages and can already see a big improvement.

I just ordered one of these little jems. I sure need the practice on shooting Texas Stars and this will afford me all the time in the world! The lower cost of the target system ($129.95) and Airsoft affordability will make learning the skill of shooting this apparatus feasible. Check out the videos of it in action at the link below. Thanks to Burt and Martin for their innovation. cat_09_16_09.pdf http://www.myspace.com/bamairsoft

I'll check and get back with you tomorrow.
