    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdPIxIZnadU Some good shooters have already covered this but here it is from another good shooter. For what its worth, Im cross eye dominant. With a pistol I just bring the gun to my left eye. Easy. With a shotgun or rifle I have to close my left eye.

    Imagine how many matches we’d have in Texas if they cancelled them a week out due to the possibility of rain... hell, in Texas there is a 10% percent of hurricanes next week from May to September. Area 59 typically drains crazy good. I’ve always been surprised how well it drains after hard rains. That’s a testament as to how bad the weather got. Hope to shoot the rescheduled Area 4.

    I agree with this. I drink a small cup of coffee to get me right. Without coffee my concentration is lacking. Too much coffee and I get a little shake in my hands.

    I started shooting limited minor so that I could load my mags appropriately (full). I got tired of getting passed in points so I switched to production. Although I miss being able to load my magazines the way they were meant to be loaded I have enjoyed the challenge of production. You will need to give yourself some time to adjust to reloading sans magwell. I didn't realize how much of a crutch that thing had become.

    I guess I get the rule...But its silly. Im with the OP, Ive run several qualification lines where folks went prone with hot pistols. I never thought to be offended by it until my first 3g match. When a gun comes out of the holster while you are running which way is it pointing when it hits the ground? Only Jesus knows

    The only reason I'm commenting here is, like you, I'm a glock shooter and have been for years. I was wanting a custom STI for 3 gun and limited uspsa. I recently had the opportunity to put a few hundred rounds through a shadow 2 and a custom STI. The shadow felt right to me. I struggled with the STI but shot the Shadow 2 like I've been shooting it for years. I can't comment on your other questions but I can tell you Im on the waiting list for a new shadow2

    Glock Gen 5

    Bright replied to matt7184's topic in Glock

    I'm thrilled that glock listened to its user base and put some quality sights on the new.... Well at least the trigger is much better... we'll, at least I'm saving $500 from buying a new gun

    It's been non stop in Houston and water has been knocking on my front door twice but never made it in. We are lucky... very lucky.

    Easy fix is to extend the stock and take your nose off the charging handle. Putting your nose on the charging handle is a good way to make sure you have a consistent check weld while shooting iron sights. When shooting through the scope its important to get a clear picture (no shadow). Another bonus of bringing the stock out is you will most likely be more stable shooting off hand. Otherwise, looks like you have everything mounted correctly.

    Save the money from getting your gun hacked up and go buy a 34. put the money into new F/O sights, new guide rod and spring, new trigger and a magwell. Bam. Perfect 3 gun pistol for less than what it will cost to make your 17 pretty. That said, a buddy of mine has an agency 34 and 19. They are really pretty guns, but there was no noticeable increase in performance...just looks.

    I shoot a G34 in production when I shoot USPSA. I can't shoot limited without being penalized for it. It's a rule I had to either accept and drop points or move to production. When I debated this with a buddy that has 4k tied up into his limited gun he concluded that I should stop complaining and spend the money to play at his level or move to production. Id like to return that mentality here. It's 3 gun, not USPSA limited. It's my happy place were I can load up my mags and go fast without any penalty because I'm not shooting another guy's favorite round. That said, I guess if shooters know the target will not fall for a 9 that makes it better... I guess. Otherwise I'm the first shooter up smacking targets that wont fall and calling for calibration while the rest of the squad loads high brass birdshot. If you want guys shooting shotgun more just put a clay in a position that will force them to engage that target and most likely other targets as well.

    Man, I like this post. I've been shooting for 16 years with only two years in the competitive realm. I occasionally get the shakes after a COF when the adrenaline is coming down.

    I'm cross eye dominate, right handed, left eye dominate. I simply bring the gun up to my left eye. I'm not sure about eye dominance switching during a COF but when I shoot rifle I obviously have to use my right eye in order to shoot right handed. In this instance I either close my left eye or just partially close it enough for my right eye to take over. The main difference between you and I is that my right eye has some issues and my left is perfectly fine so it naturally takes over as the dominant eye. When I saw an eye doctor and started wearing a contact is my right eye it helped my shooting with a rifle and shotgun. My left eye is still dominant though. Might be worth seeing an eye doctor over. If you can get your left eye sight on track with your right eye maybe it wont switch up on you during a COF.

    Ive been running a glock 34 for 3 gun and USPSA Limited minor. Granted I favor 3 gun and consider USPSA as 3gun pistol training but Im starting to come around to USPSA a little more as there are more matches in my area. Ill be looking for an STI in .40 soon...

    In. Looking forward to it
  17. Bright
    Ha! Thanks. Ill see if I can find a can laying around somewhere!

    Any word on round count for the three gun event?
  19. Bright
    Thanks for the replies guys. All of it is good stuff although lasik is out of the question as it wont fix my newly found eye problem. Looks like the Dawson front sight might be the way to go here.

    Forgive me if this is a repost. Today I did a walk back with my versa max. I've got the original front sight and an xs back sight. I was money at 50 and 75. I did ok at 100 but I can't help but to think that huge front sight was hurting me a bit. Has anyone changed their front sight to something a tad smaller or do I need to buck up and figure it out with what I got? At the ripe old age of 37 things are getting a bit blurry so I know any miss at 100 was all shooter.

    I just got mine back from Triangle. You wont be dissapointed.

    I just make sure I eat something that I know wont make me feel bad for the day. When I run tirathalons Ill really focus on nutrition the night before and the morning of. I havent shot a match yet that requires me to specialize my nutrition.

    Just put a stretch 16 on my gun and ran a few rounds through it. Very impressed with how soft the rifle shots now. I'm planning on getting a good zero this week to test accuracy.
  24. Bright
    Im signed up for the 3-gun. Sounds like fun!
  25. Bright
    Always looking for an excuse to get down to corpus! Looking forward to it!
