Thanks for a great match. Loved the weather may be back next year

I'm with Blum. Get a custom gun built. I went with the Edge this past summer ( don't get me wrong great gun ) but I've had everything replaced and fitted by a gunsmith. Costs about the same less aggravation for the gun smith.

I"ve got an edge just like yours. With Grams springs and followers and Dawson base pads I get 19 reliable and one gets 20 in time I think the others will get 20 also but I'm not going to force it. Been shooting mine since june of last year and like it better every time I shoot. good luck

I was up there the week before new years had I known you were shooting I would have extended my stay. Left the 27th

Nothing here in Englewood Ohio yet

Hey Robert I'de go with you but got the grandson. What does BTT stand for ? Have a good time if you go. Was fun last month.

Hey just wondering if the results were out yet for the match of the 20th Thanks

I use vv N320 4.6 grains at 1.13 oal Zero 180 JHP, Zero FMJ, Precission Delta FMJ. All with federal primers and once or more fired brass. Is a very consistant load 171 pf +or - .5 every place I've been from Fla. to Wis. different times of the year. At least 10000 rounds of it so far and counting. I hope this helps. All rounds have been through and XD .40 tac

JD I turn 50 this year. Have been shooting for 3 years now the 47 years prior to that no gun handling at all didn't own one. I have learned alot over the last 3 years that I wish i'de learned when I was much younger. Goal setting, how to practice, and quality of practice. Matter of fact I wish I'de learned about this sport 20 years ago. Lanny Basham says if you practice once a week your likely to get worse not better, I believe him. You need to do good quality practice a minimun of 3 times a week 5 is best with at least 1 live fire practice with set things you are going to practice, groups, transitions, bill drills etc. Don't just sling 200 rounds at a target 30 ft. away. If cost is a factor you can practice everything except actually putting holes in the target through dry fire. During the shooting season I shoot approx. 1000 rounds a month (practice and matches) and dryfire alot. I am a C class shooter with 3 plaques for 2006 even won a slot to nationals this year. And I plan on bringing home a trophy from Tulsa. Did I mention I'm 50 5'11" 268 lbs (50 lbs overweight) If I can do it you can do it. It just takes practice and dedication

You should always take at least twice as many rounds as the match calls for. In case you need to re-shoot a stage, take extra shots etc.

What are you trying to say Micah ???

Yup ambi mag relese gives you one less thing to remember how to do ....

Thats right it did do that sorry Kyle. ??? 20+ im .40 grip angle change ambi mag relese and chrisp 2lb trigger is what I want ???Can I get all that and more ???

I know and I'v been thinking about it seriously Can the grip angle be changed?

I shot a block at area 8 didn't help any ! I meant a gun not limited to 13 rounds... And yes maby a block if they are giving out free samples...

Got mine saturday... Thanks for a good match. Hope to see you all again next year...Makes me wonder what I could do with a real gun.....

vv320 works fine in my XD40 for both major and minor I use for minor 3.7 grains 320 zero fmj and jhp 180 grain 1.140 oal crimp .420 Approx. 128--130 pf federal small pistol primers And for major 4.7 grains 320 zero fmj and jhp 180 grain 1.140 oal crimp .420 just cronoed at area 6 171pf federal small pistol primers Put about 3000 of the minor loads through the XD last year with no problems and am up to about 5000 of the major loads this year with no problems. Very light recoil for the minor loads and a flat recoil for the major loads. I hope this helps out a bit.

Thanks for your replys. I believe your right I am letting my expectations get the best of me. This week I've been focusing on the fundementials and basics like actually seeing the sight instead of pointing the gun in the generial direction of the target being delibrate in my movements ( reloads draw etc) and focusing on my game not worring about beating someone and keeping up. I am going to relax at my matches and just aim as Jake says I'm sure the progress will come just not on my minds schedule.

This is my first post so please bear with me . I've used the search function and can't find what I need. I have been shooting for a little over a year now ( prod. and L-10 ) and gone from last to in the top 4 or 5 in our club plenty of stage wins and even 1 match win at the local matches ( C class shooter ) I dryfire at least an hour a day shoot league Tues. and live fire Thurs. I feel that I am doing all the right things transitions draws reloads using Steve Anderson's book Matt's book and on the second read of brians book. My problen is that over the last month my proformance has been such like I've almost never shot before. Times and scores way off not shooting up to my previous ability. What am I doing wrong ? What can I work on or not work on ? Getting somewhat frustrated please help. Thanks DVC Glen
