Happened to me. Took over a week to get a confirmation with no explaination. Then got this dreaded "submitted" for days. Tim is great to deal with and the store has a ton of stuff but this has got to get better.

I could tell a big difference. I would rather have JP do it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That's hilarious! That guy's facial expression at the end is so funny. Back to the topic, this is a great idea and I am glad it's being vetted for match use. There are several times I could have used these in matches to help with shorten bays (when half of the bay is full of water) or to keep full target impacts from striking the ground or getting too close to the top of the berm. Great job! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

HS6 burns better at the upper end of the scale. I have had some 6.0 to 6.5 loads that did well in most aspects (accuracy, reliability, consistency) but was still dirty. It does burn cleaner when you push it into the 8 to 9 range but do NOT do this unless you are shooting the right gun and are working up slowly watching for pressure signs. It is one of the most highly coveted 9Major powders so it would be nice to trade it to an Open shooter (like me )with a more suitable 9mm minor powder. I have tried 8 different powders for 9Major and HS6 is my favorite. Also, do not go by burn charts and try to use the same loads as "similar" powders, that will get you in trouble.

+1...very nice!

The A4 Director announced all of the above (with exception of the members resignation) via direct email last week. If your AD didnt disburse the info to his Area membership, then complain directly to them...and vote them out of office. Are you saying all the ADs got an email about this situation? Are you sure about it? No thats not what I'm saying at all. I said that the A4D sent an email about it to inform the Area 4 members. Any AD that didnt do something similar, failed in their duties. Ok, if the A4D announced it, where did he get the info from? Was he going off of hearsay at the time or did he receive an official correspondence from within the organization? I just want to know how much was given to the ADs (mainly the A6D) and how much was put out before I start complaining to him. Thanks

It's plain to see that HQ is inept in the communications with membership department. They don't answer emails. They don't even acknowledge a lot of scandalous happenings. They don't even seem to realize they should be telling us what is going on. It's almost a scandal in itself. Do you mean the BoD/President communications or the whole office in general? I would have to say the latter is extremely efficient and knowledgeable when it comes to requests from members and general communication. I have had everything from a multitude of applications submitted, changes of address put in, requests for score updates, to even requesting old periodicals and I have always had first rate service. They work very hard and have always come through. However, I do feel that the former has let us down when it comes to membership communication.

I tried the flat thinking that they would be better but after trying it, I went back to the curved style. I will be selling the flat inserts I have.

Nope, new or seasoned, they get the same warnings or actions from me, thats consistency and safe. Again, we are doing a disservice to the shooter and our sport if we are not trying to prevent this type of safety infraction, if possible.

You should follow the rulebook before and after the beep. You can and should give safety instruction/guidance any time you see a safety infraction about to happen. That was my original point. If they walk up to you and you see it, that is pretty cut and dry. However for other situations, if we are doing our job, then a lot of violations can be prevented, right?

Mine hasn't but I wouldn't say it's "very" stiff either.

Yes, that horse is way dead. I just hope that all of you would at least be the kind of RO that looks to prevent these safety issues rather than watch a slow train wreck then issue the DQ.

Practiscore is the answer if you want all of that. It can do everything and the guys running it are great to deal with. Like Euxx said, just email them to set it up and then everything else is pretty simple. Read through all the info on the Practiscore site and you should be pretty good. If you post other questions, we can help you out.

Ideally you would stop the shooter before they get the gun in the holster, but once it's in there, it is a DQ. The "consequences" are potentially life threatening, so they don't get a free pass. +1. However, playing devils advocate, if it is in the holster already, its not unsafe at that point since the trigger guard is covered. I would do everything possible to prevent this from happening to a new shooter at a local match. Unfortunately, I have DQed two infractions such as this at Area matches.
