  1. I have done this myself too on very close targets while looking towards the next shot. As long as the shot is in a safe direction it's legal even though I usually end up with an Alpha, Delta or worse.
  2. The A5 auto load only happens when the chamber is open so loading the tube is nothing a problem. The M2 or VM are the preferred options for 3 gun right now. The 1301 is gaining popularity. I think my next gun will be the A5. A few of the top shooters are putting them through the paces now. The auto load is great since you only have to learn one hole to shove things into. I also think the stock is ideal for quad loading since it doesn't stick out like a VM. More here: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=187064#entry2073793
  3. I am currently trying a 10 round tube with an optional plus 2 shooters source extension. 10 rounds in the tube is flush with my 26" barrel. I figure that if a stage in a match would benefit from a quad x 3 reload then I can screw on the +2. It's the bewt of both worlds.
  4. Try using the soft side of a strip of velcro on either side of the rib.
  5. There's still hope for you brother, I'm working on a few 'sight tracker' .40 conversion kits for the TS. Stay tuned. I'm bookmarking this post. If you have a conversion in the works, I'm gonna be on the list of prospective customers. Make it happen! +1
  6. I wonder how reloading would work. Table reloads only if any?
  7. It's pretty hard to find a stock XX11 with a trigger pull under 2lb. I would be curious about a reset length comparison just because I haven't done one yet.

    Shotgun for wife

    This year CZ is introducing the Lady Sterling O/U. Looks like a great option designed to fit the average woman better. http://www.cz-usa.com/products/view/LadySterling/
  9. Any chance you can do the same comparison with the Seekins ATC comp?
  10. Any chance we can resurrect this discussion? No that we have more people shooting production I would like to see whether the majority would favor making a change.
  11. Might help to put that 2x4 on your concrete floor too. My table had too much give but a quick whack on the basement floor and it came right out.
  12. Slightly different area but app integration to automatically retrieve time over bluetooth from DAA Shotmaxx timer would be really cool. Perhaps use logins, cookies etc. To track previous club results so you can suggest most likely match results. Tracking by USPSA member number would work too. Email when new match results are posted with your member number.

    CZ Store in Prague?

    Beer please! Jeste mluvim trochu
  14. I have been waiting for 10 months. preemptive ban perhaps?
  15. Okay, I will now foolishly add one more thought. Others have agreed that because of the physical nature of the shortcut which would limit other shooters from being able to safely have it as an option, that this stage would likely be protested and thrown out of a match. If you are the shooter that is thinking about doing this but knows that it will likely result in having the stage thrown out of the match would you do it anyway? This assumes that no one else has already done it. I am not saying it isn't your right to do it if you want to but I maintain every right to think that IMHO it isn't classy.
  16. It's pretty obvious that this isn't going anywhere worthwhile. You could have just said, "haters gonna hate" and been done with the whole conversation?
  17. (speaking of thread drift) As general concepts ethical and legal are not the same thing. Just because something is legal to do doesn't mean its always the right thing to do. This applies in many areas of life which are may be otherwise moral gray areas. Personal ethics with very from one individual to the next but in general acting on sound personal ethics would positively impact the experience of others or at a minimum should not have a negative impact. For me personally, this falls into a similar category as the rare cut-throat pro shooter who at a major match tries to intimidate the RO into calling that Alpha-Mike as a perfect double. You can legally do stuff like this all day but it doesn't mean I can't think you are a scumbag for doing it.
  18. Now for the true test of a great sport and teacher: did you go home or stay to help?
  19. I packed one of these up from another BE member. I love the optics but there is a lot of resistance when changing powers even with a throw lever attached. It's so stiff that I basically have to tuck the stock under my arm and crank away but even then it takes me about 3 seconds to change from 1x to 6x. Is something wrong? The previous owner mentioned removing some residual Cerakote and I wonder whether that could have affected something.
