welcome! what part of TX?

Welcome to the forum and out of California!

then i am doomed

i suffered all day listening to coco melon, baby shark, and Daniel the tiger

welcome! you will like USPSA much more than IDPA

I shot with a gogun thumb rest since I shot open and limited in 2012

i used to use one of those stainless steel tumblers with dish soap and lime shine.

I got in the habit of competing with the bullets I practice with. For the most part it was JHP from PD. I'm shooting blue bullers with CO and PCC now.

wow very cool.

Rather than shooting classifiers i would set up stages for dry firing where you have to challenge your transitions, reloading, and moving around barricades. That changed the way I set up my magazines on my belt. For the holster, I never went wrong with the rules set for production and SS (behind the hip bone)

welp that bursted my bubble lol

I got into the sport right after sandyhook happened in 2012 and i wanted it recover. I'm sure people who have shot this sport longer can also agree.

Competition for me because I want my kid to view it like an after school type of activity when he gets older. Hunting will come eventually and we’ll probably look to a guide to help us get into that. I’d rather have gun master the fundamental through competition though. That’s just my opinion.

surprised open had less numbers TBH

I’ve never shot in wood/mulch but I’ve always show on either dirt, sand, or gravel and the cleats did just fine. Don’t know if there’s anything you can do well against wet wood.

Heck truth be told who knows. It could be a Ft ski stone build for all I know. My last gun was an SVI as well. Right now I’m leaning towards the Bul Armory SAS UR

I’ll be doing the same. I’m on a hiatus right now but I’m moving away from 38SC to 9 so that I can get my kids into the sport with me. Once they are interested.

I second this! Absolutely love it!

This answered a few of my questions with shooting 9major with coated bullets. Thanks!

I’m going to get a hold of my dads old 10/22 that he taught me on for my son. Anyone have recommendations for conversion kits?

I usually group 1” at 30yards or try to

Baseball cleats FTW. I’ve tried soccer cleats, hiking shoes, trail shoes, and even military boots. Baseball cleats have never failed me.

I shot 38SC for the longest time but after this hiatus (young kids and new born phase) I’m looking to get back to shooting open in 9major and your load will probably be my start. question though. 3N38 is hard to come by and I’ll get lucky with 3N37 or AA6. Do you know how much powder to put in for those?

a person who does this will be on FB or instagram for sure lol

i think the verdict is there. Hyperfire w/ green springs lol
