I have used Kidd 1.5 lbs. in 2 10-22 builds for years - they work great!
-
Build on an Areo Precison works very well and allows me to continue to maintain my ongoning battle to remain as a B shooter as I begin to age out!

To death yet?

It says in the Bible (or is it my TV remote instructions?), "Go forth and paint, lest ye be purged to the depths of hell."
Therefore, we should paint as per the rules. Or, else.
The devil made me post this.
Yesterday my squad painted and the others didn't. It really did not require a lot of waiting for the next squad.

By all means test it out, but its all down to preference in the end.
Not every gun is gonna react the same and you need to consider how everyone holds the rifle, recoil control, etc.
Yup!

Many of us have wondered. I think that the answer is floating around in the air from a meeting of the rules people and is a throw over from the regular USPSA rules. Can someone shed light????

A reload. You beat the 30 seconds, and if you have another string that goes bad you will be better off than with two 30 second runs.

And here I kept thinking it was that back plate that was ducking just as I broke the shot.
You say it's me? I'm not sure about that.....
I really hate those bobbing back plates. They should be outlawed!!!!!!!

Yea...I can understand that...it's like I'm directing the orchestra.....it's all in the timing of getting the shot off
LOL - now all targets are moving targets with a pistol!!

I am 77. In local matches with RFRO I generally finish in the top 10 overall. My eyesight is very mature! I don't shake much with the rifle, but pistols are a different story.
I have a standard for accuracy called, "One Minute of Paper Plate." I set out a target with a paper plate on it at 17 yards. If I can put 5 shots on the plate quickly, I consider the rifle sighted in.
I do the same for USPSA PCC and pistols. I mostly shoot PCC in USPSA, but lately switched to single stack just for fun. I am just not fast enough on my feet now to excel at USPSA (I made Limited A with a .45 high cap back in the early 2000's) to excel anymore. I think I enjoy USPSA more now that I don't care how I do. (That was an official lie - I do like to finish in the top half).
That said, I find Steel Challenge to be more fun. I just replaced my right knee. Left knee to follow later in the year. I will still be able to shoot steel even soon after the surgeries, since I don't have to move.
In the words of my gunsmith, "The older I am, the better I used to be."
Shooting is just so damn much fun!!!!

Minute of VW for some shooters.

OK, take it out of the bag.
Take the chamber thing out.
Put the bullets in.
Don't forget to put one in the chamber.
Assume the ready position.
Beep.
If you are done unload.
Pull the trigger.
Put the flag thing back in the chamber.
Bag it.
This is just a warning: quit putting your hand in front of the barrel.
The devil is ever present in my head.

I use Taylor's 41. Load to 38 rounds. Never had to do a reload in USPSA except on a classifier. I have run dry a couple of times. They run great. One in a while if I got a little paranoid about a stage I will load 39 - so far they have worked fine with 38.

AI response to me was turn back the clock and be younger!!!
-
The metal MBX would not work in my CMMG PCC. Same thing. I returned it.
-
Laser on PCC. Laser off of PCC. Laser on again. Laser now off for good. I would say it helped on one shot in 200 at best, and I just learned to switch shoulders.
-
Yes. Please add it!!!
-
Rimfire rifle open. Kidd trigger at 1.5 pounds = never had any problem.
-
I zero at 17 yards. It is just fine at 35 yards. Beyond that I always supposed that you should call for an air strike. (The devil made me do this )

revolver45 has it right!
-
Goals (Age 76):
Get up the morning of the match.
Have fun with my friends at the match.
Feel like I shot well.
Finish in the top 10 in whatever division I am shooting in (but, if I don't, I don't much care).
Go home and have a beer.
The older I get, the better I used to be!

Please: this should not turn into a thread about what way the ears face. The questions is about the hearing - not the ears.
-
I have been using blue bullets for a couple of years. I have never had a problem with lead.
-
Kidd 1.5 in RFRO - in both the main gun and the back up.
Some Glock mags not dropping free
in Pistol Caliber Carbine

Once in a while I have had one that "swells" when it gets old. I just pull out the guts and toss them.
