     they would expect me to run it for which I would receive exactly what?

     

    The small crew that runs the monthly match I shoot should be getting paid.  I'm not a member of the club, have no idea how the finances work.  

  2. I could agree with the ringing part but then you have deaf ROs.

     

    What I have found aggravating in the past is somebody finding a gray speck  on the edge, that looks like it could be a gnat turd, and trying to argue it was a hit.

     

    Zack should come up with an integrated scoring system.  Wire the targets to record hits, timer automatically puts the time into practiscore while accounting for misses.

  3. If you want the rules to be consistent then we should require the same power factor in steel challenge.  Also, get rid of the rimfires.

     

    To be clear; I think the holster rules are stupid in both sports.

    So did I give up a competitive advantage for adhering to this rule 

     

    I don't think so.  I shoot production (with a Glock) in a holster that would be single stack legal.  I don't think a DOH holster offers the same advantage in steel challenge as it does in USPSA since you always draw from the surrender position.

     

    You could spend the next two weeks reading and not get through all the discussion, debate, arguing, and whining about holster placement for various divisions and sports.  It seems like it would be a lot simpler to just let competitors put their holster however they want it.

      Might as well ditch the division.  Might as well make the same argument for Production. 

     

    Exactly.  Magazine capacity doesn't matter and power factor is not in play which are reasons to have the separate divisions in USPSA.

     

    Especially since rimfire seems to be "taking over" steel challenge it doesn't seem like a good idea to have more than iron and optic divisions.  Plus maybe revolver.

    I'd have no issue with just "optic division" & "iron sight division" in the center fire match.  After all, that's exactly what we do for the other 3 matches (rim fire pistol; rim fire rifle & PCC). 

     

    That is an excellent point that I hadn't considered.  A guy shooting an out of the box Ruger or Buckmark competes in the same division as the guys with all the fancy go fast parts.

    So if "Open" is not USPSA "Open", should we just not go back to Open and Iron Sight division? It would be simple and clean.

     

    This is what I think it should be.  That and put your holster wherever and however you want.

  8. Maybe Zach will weigh in on how many clubs there are that normally shoot all eight stages at the monthly/weekly match.  We shoot six.  I can think of a couple others that only shoot five.

    In regards to your comparison of Pendulum with Outer Limits.  I see a lot more people shooting their gun empty on Outer Limits than on Pendulum.

     

    I also want to say that much of the discussion on this thread seems to be coming at it from the dot sighted rifle perspective.  C class shooters find the 20 and 35 yard targets pretty challenging with an iron sighted pistol.

  9. Can you take the 1.5 second penalty if your only handicap is being old and fat?

    I have said here before that I would like the movement on Outer Limits to be eliminated entirely.  

    If that is unacceptable I would like to see all competitors have the option to take a penalty and shoot from the center box.

     I would like to eliminate the movement and shoot five strings, like all the other stages.

  10. I've probably already said this earlier but my 45 load is a Nosler or Zero 185 grain JHP with 4.5 grains of N310. They don't eject nearly hard enough to get back to my face. : ) I keep it very clean and lube more than recommended by Glock, with Mobil 1.
