  1. I'm very sorry Chris. Prayers to your mom.
  2. I think it is personal prefferance. I shoot .40 in production and limited 180gr bullet vv320 powder 1.150 oal same round different powder charge. I think the .40 minor load shoots softer than 9mm. I also think heavy bullet knocks down steel better. I only shoot pistol so my press stays set for my round only have to change the powder charge. just my.02
  3. They went over this indepth on Rush the other day. How the counting goes. As they see it. Centurys starts at 01 and decades start at 00. I think it was either tues or wed just this past week
  4. Let me qualify this first. If it hadden't been for Bill and his chalenging stages I probably would have not stayed with this sport. I am a 52 year old (fat) guy who loves this sport and it's chalenges. Been shooting for just 4 years and been to tons of matches. I didn't know you could complain about stage design. I just figure you look it over and get through it to the best of your ability. No matter who you are. Thats why we have classes. I'm a B class shooter and I get through the stages just as well as the 20 year old B class shooters. The stages present a problem for you to solve. Solve it and get to shooting. It's as simple as that. Some majors I've been to have been dissipointing lots of short courses and stand and shoots with few field courses (time constraints). Didn't feel I got my moneys worth. Now give me a major with 10 32 round chalenging field courses I'de be the first to sign up. to Bill
  5. okay I've been money challenged for most of the year. Got a bit of extra money this week. Can I still get into the Ohio state match ?
  6. the sad thing is she's not the only one
  7. GOOD JOB !!!! KEEP IT UP !!!!! I smoked for 26 years and I just decided on a Wednesday that I wasn't going to be smoking by the next Wednesday and that is what I did. It's been 12 years now and every once in a while I still get the urge to have one. Just resist the urges and you'll be better off. GOOD !!!! JOB !!!! KEEP IT UP !!!!
  8. 2005 was the year and 48 was the age. Like others have said I wish I had found this sport 20 years ago.
  9. Good luck Bill. And my prayers will be with you today,
  10. Sorry if I offended anyone. My post was actually about 10 min. ago at 8:00pm est
  11. Not that I'm going to win anything. I'd just like to see the scores. There not posted yet at USPSA. Just wondering ? By the way I had a great time shooting. Great weather. Lots of fun
  12. Ok got the feeder set up in the yard today. "No takers" figured I wouldn't. My neighbors have a number of feeders. How long till I might get some visitors ?
  13. Way cool pictures. I hope to get some like them. Kids just got me a feeder for my birthday. Putting it up in the morning
  14. First off worth is what the individual puts on an item. In my limited experience I started out in the sport with an out of the box XD and I shot ok with it and I soon graduated to a custom XD (everything you could do and still be production legal) made me feel better about my shooting, more confident, better scores, complements and such. That 1000.00 was worth it to me. Tinkered with it and was able to shoot limited with it and got hooked on limited. So I eventually purchased an STI Edge 1700.00 out of the box it was a pleasure to shoot. So that 1700.00 was worth it to me. Over the few months after the purchase I had some isues with the edge ftf, jams and stuff needless to say I was somewhat not pleased. So off to te gunsmith it went (knew it could be fixed my friends guns worked) apprx. 1000.00 parts and labor later. I pick up my gun and go to the range and OMG I would never have never believed that any gun could shoot so smooth and flat. I shot up about 500 rounds that day just lost in the pleasure of shooting a nice gun.This has been about a year now someware between 5000 and 10000 rounds and still a pleasure. The confidence came back, it's fun to shoot matches and I have since upclassed to B. So the extra 1000.00 was worth it to me. Just my experience. To my gunsmith
  15. WOO HOO I'll buy her a pool !!!!!! Hotest 48 year old I've seen in awhile !!
  16. I quit 10 years ago this month. I looked at it money wise. 2 packs a day at 4.00 = 8.00/day x 30 days = 240.00/ month or a new limited gun in a year. Took me one week and I was done with them for ever. Have a goal and stick to it. Oh and by the way I smoked for 26 years. SO IT CAN BE DONE
  17. You didn't say anything about a tax refund. I need bullets powder and primers LOL. Seriously I do one thing I pick out all the winchester brass and use it in the STI. Just something to think about seems to be better brass to me.
  18. I shoot .40 for a few reasons. First off all I shoot is .40 so the press is always set (except for powder charge). I used an XD .40 Tac. for a long time. I got it with the thought that I might like to shoot production (very soft) Lim 10 and yes Lim. I guess you could say I was being thrifty (cheep) for buying one gun to have so much fun in all those divisions. Now it's just my production gun. My edge in .40 is the Lim gun now. The press is still set with 20 to 30000 rounds through it an it's still going strong. This set up just seems to work for me.
  19. I think you'll be okay. I load on .40 on a SDB and I use all kinds of brass. Shoot it out of both my STI and my XD without any probblems.
  20. Yup I just calculated it up I load 40 for between .15 and .21 cents a round thats 150.00 to 210.00 per 1000 big savings !
  21. I use 180 bear creek mollys for practice and 180 zero jhp for matches. Load them both major and minor with vv320 3.7g 1.150 for minor and 4.7g 1.150 major minor load is very soft in my XD tac. and the major load is real nice out of my sti edge. This is what works for me.
  22. I had one back in 2001 and WOW (please shoot me) . So I guess that made me prone to getting them again. Over the past couple of years I've had a few small ones. One about every 2 to 3 months dull pain in my side for about a day and then they pass. They seem to happen more when I slow down on my water intake. I usually make myself drink 2 to 3 quarts of water a day. With at least one bottle with lemon juice in it ( helps to break up the minerals that make them up) and keep everything running smooth. I've also heard that your diet can have something to do with them. I don't think that's my case I haven't changed my diet in years. Along with too much VitC and or calcium can promote them. What it boils down to is DRINK PLENTY OF WATER EACH DAY !
  23. I am by no means an expert. B lim. Two things that have helped me most. First shooting groups on paper plates from 7 out to 25yds at the beginning and end of each livefire practice. Not afraid of steel now, and better hits on paper. (aim small miss small). And movement drills ( I have access to a large warehouse) I work on getting low and moving in on targets moving away from targets moving past targets both left and right. Keeping good sight picture on targets as I move. The key for me I've found( and probably everyone else ) is getting low. And sometimes I work reloads in, also do this in some of my livefire practices. You can work on everything in dryfire.
  24. I like the f/o been using it since the beginning on all of the guns. Now on my primary. Seems to bring my attention to the sight quicker. B Limited C all the rest 51 with corrective lenses
