  1. Hey Did gddfhffxfdfygy flyers to crucified go gii oh
  2. You can always start here with YouTube Videos:
  3. Obviously developing a stage plan and walking it through a few times during through it is important. If at all possible do everything in the same order that you will shoot it. Don't forget to mimic reloads and other actions in their proper order during the walk through. I pay special attention to knowing the exact spot I want to be at for every shot I will fire. Don't stop reversing and waking through the stage until you are comfortable with your plan with target engagement location, order, reloads, and etc all being critical. I you change anything in your plan walk through it start to finish again to assure that you will remember the change once the clock is running. When rehearsing behind the line (without physically walking through) I generally envision everything in order just as if I was walking through. I will frequently soft of point to the locations where I will shoot the targets and count off the number of shots that will be shot from there. I mimic my reloads and point over too the next shooting location and repeat the process. I guess the important thing again is being confident with your stage play so that you have no hesitation between positions, you know exactly how many shots you have at each position, you know from where exactly each target will be shot, and you have your reloads planned in order. Whether walking through or envisioning always rehearse the entire state with all of the elements from start to finish. If you fine yourself messing up some aspect on your plan while walking through them start over from the start again to ensure you have your plan committed to memory in the correct order.

    Nope

    Is there a question here?
  5. The only issue I can think of is having anyone else who is scoring I r resetting accidently move or pick up some of the staged ammo thinking it belonged to the previous shooter. I would just be sure once the range goes hot that all my mags are where I left them. Not a big risk but I would hate to be left dry.
  6. I should mention that having your weak hand thumb pointing up might be a sign that you don't have your weak hand high enough on the gun and your weak hand wrist isn't angled properly. The video explains
  7. Some ride thumbs on the frame. Float them straight down range not touching anything, rest the right on top of the left, etc. As long as they are not interfering with tthe operation of the gun or putting force on the gun one direction or another that could manipulate your aim, trigger pull and etc the you should be good.

    CZ for competition

    DA takes a bit to get used to but not much. When the trigger is tuned it reminds me more of taking the slack out of a Glock trigger than anything else.
  9. It doesn't matter As long as your hands are where they need to be and you thumbs are not interfering with the slide, slide stop, safeties and etc. Yours looked good from what I could see.
  10. I haven't compared them myself. The internal are apparently similar. I think Pat Kelly mentioned a bit more muzzle rise while shooting? Let me know if you need video of any of the loading and unloading. That's easy enough to demonstrate from my basement.
  11. From full mag tube and empty chamber: Bolt will be closed. Hit the bolt latch on the bottom of the gun which will release one round onto the carrier under the closed bolt. When you come to your shotgun awl you will have to do is rack the slide once and the round from the carrier will be chambered and ready to fire. Another nice thing about the bolt latch that you can practice loading the mag tube with an empty chamber and then unload the gun without having to cycle the action. Just press the carrier latch to the side and you can take the rounds out of the mag tube one at a time. While this might not seem like a revolutionary feature it is something I could not do with my AutoLoad capable Browning Gold. On that gun I had to cycle everything through the chamber to unload the gun.
  12. I don't think #3 is necessary. I agree with the others. If I see from a demonstration video that the trigger safety engagement which all happens external to the gun has been significantly modified I did understand hop it could not be considered an externally visible modification.
  13. So to recap and completely change my ill-informed initial response, it appears to me that the Johnny Glock Trigger in the video is no more illegal than the other common "Production" race trigger mods from other gunsmith.
  14. I am going to go ahead and shut up now. I had no idea that this mod as so widespread and is being overlooked as being legal. I don't think you would argue that you can't see it from "external." I used the original Vanek beginning in 2003 until the ruling made it clear that it wouldn't fly. Apparently the focus was only on the new pin hole, not only the other external trigger modifications. This ruling is what ultimately pushed me to change platforms to CZ. I wish interpretation of rules was more consistent to remove obvious conflicts like this one.
  15. So I just looked at yours and it looks from a distance on your Web page it like you have done the same mod to the trigger safety that is absolutely externally visible. This seems very unfair as that was one of the elements of the original Vanek that NROI identified as being not legal in Production. Has the rule changed somehow?
  16. Thinks and sorry for the confusion. Some not one is arguing that the Johnny Glock trigger is Production legal at this point?
  17. Assuming we are talking about the trigger referenced above the modification is clearly externally visible as I have demonstrated. Can this be disputed? If it is externally visible then this mod is not legal for Production. The same goes for any Glock trigger job which modifies the trigger safety to change its engagement point. If JA examined this particular mod then it's possible that he was not familiar with the stock configuration of the trigger safety and overlooked it's significant modification. I would like to see the email thread if you have it because this is not right.
  18. JA was likely just looking for the Vanek trigger pin mod which was externally visible and wasn't focused on the trigger safety modifications which are also clearly visible is you know what to look for. There is no way this trigger I legal. Folks like Vanek have already been shown this road and have made production version which are actually legal. These new guys who are coming along along might not be familiar with the roads we have traveled so don't understand which modifications are a no go. I watched his video and he didn't talk directly about the modifications that he has made to the trigger safety because he likely knows or suspects that they are not legal for Production. Again, see the image below, he has removed a massive relative amount of material from the rear of the trigger safety which is externally visible. He also did not demonstrate whether the trigger safety itself is still functional in the video which would be done by pulling on the side of the trigger without pressing the trigger safety.
  19. Not Legal. Look at this image. You will see that at least half of the engagement area for the trigger safety has been removed to allow the trigger safety to engage much, much earlier in the trigger pull. Also, pay attention to the line arrow. It is really just there to show you the trigger safety is not contoured to the trigger and is exactly parallel to the line. The modified trigger has reshaped the pad of the trigger safety to more closely couture to the trigger. Nice mod, but not Production legal.
  20. I haven't had any problems either when quad loading. I think lifter welding is more important if you do traditional caddie weak hand loading.
