["Flapper Target"]

Who all makes these style of "peekaboo" - "flapper" whatever... targets. (2 targets on the left). I've seen 3 styles of mechanisms and want to look at prices, etc.

July 9th and 10th in beautiful Colorado Springs Colorado.

8 stages of running and gunning! Tons of steel, reems of paper, truck loads of barrels, and loads of walls all come together at the Pikes Peak Gun Club in Colorado Springs, Colorado to form the SC3G Championship match! Shots out to 200 yards, and have a gully run!

The location makes for a fantastic family getaway, we have free camping on site, are minutes from the airport and hotels, and there is a lot for families to do in Colorado Springs.

[Thinnest 2011 grips]

Likely have to snag a used "gen1" aluminum STI grip. Post a "WTB" ad maybe...?

No texture unless you add it.

this one?

[Thinnest 2011 grips]

Hello: The thinest 2011 grip I have seen is the old original STI aluminum grip. The STI short curved trigger is also the shortest I've seen. Thanks, Eric

where is it avail, and is it textured?

Thanks

[Thinnest 2011 grips]

Got a DVC 9 Lim. Grip is too fat for my tiny meat hooks and short sausage fingers.

I'm going to get a SV short trigger, and a thinner grip.

From reading other posts, the STI aluminum and Phoenix Trinity steel are really thin. But those are older posts, and I don't like that the STI Aluminum is smooth. Are they going to be thinner than the Extra Small "DVC Advantage" from extreme shooters? ( https://www.extremeshooters.com/sti-grips/lady-dvc) .

Thanks all

Kevin

[Dual Dominance help?]

I am a new shooter and have recently discovered I am cross dominant aswell (right handed, left eye dominate) I can shoot pistol left eye w/o much issue, ar with my right eye (red dot) but shotgun im having some issue picking up the front sight, has anyone tried the hiviz fiberoptic front sights for cross eyed dominance? do they actually help with shotguns?

There is a fiber optic sight called the "easy hit" that is designed specifically for this. It has a hood to prevent your eye that's not over the rib from seeing it.

[Colt Competition Gas Block]

I did that with CLP the other day and it didn't work. They suggested Hoppe's.

(By the way, them responding at 7:30 at night is insanely awesome)

[3 Gun Nation rule changes.]

I am very confident that is not correct the intent was 30 round magazines.

That's kind of what I figured too. Weird wording

[Colt Competition Gas Block]

So mine is frozen. Emailed CC and they emailed me back within minutes. I'll let you know how it goes

[3 Gun Nation rule changes.]

7.3.3.3 All Rifle magazines must be in a thirty (30) round factory configuration max length only. There is no maximum capacity as long as the magazine is of legal length or less. Use of lower capacity magazines is allowed. The use of factory or aftermarket extended base pads, whether they increase capacity or not, are forbidden.

You are correct Chuck...that is poorly written.

That almost sounds like a surefire 60 is okay

[Dual Dominance help?]

I'll try squinting my L eye... Thanks Nebwake

[Dual Dominance help?]

I'm a right handed shooter, and have always thought I was right eye dominant. Occasionally I'll have steel I just can't hit, so I have to drop the pistol, realign and then I get the shot. Well I found out the other day if I cover an object with my right thumb, I'm right eye dominant, but if I cover an object with my left thumb I'm magically left eye dominant. When I bullseye shoot, I easily force myself to be R eye dominant, and my groups are fantastic. When I practical shoot, then the problem manifests.

I don't want to do the tape over the left eye trick because I'm a 3 Gunner, and I'd lose my mind trying to shoot shotgun or rifle with only 1 eye.

Any suggestions? Should I just do the tape over the L eye trick while practicing and then hopefully my R eye can become more dominant?

Thanks!

Kevin

With a double feed out of the mag tube I just hold the bolt back, reach my booger hook in there and push the round back in the tube.

Oscar, I'd like to see a side profile of that cut job you did

That's how the proctor sling is, and that's why I like to use the proctor.
