Winning is as important as you make it.

Thread drift: Do you guys like the 10 rd limit in production?

People would think i was REALLY nuts if i started running around in my backyard from box to box.

I don't know how I would be able to remember where everything is.

Rick, After 7 months on the SA plan (with my own twists on it) I have accomplished a couple things: 1. Beaten the crap out of my practice gun 2. Gained 10 lbs of muscle mass 3. Become a better shooter. 4. Suffered all sorts of minor cuts and stubbed toes from "practice accidents" Stick with it, with time and patience you will start to wear your guns out.

I screw up in matches so much it isnt even funny... But take up golf!? I would rather suck at shooting than be a golfer.

Now that LTT is gone, and the Beretta Pro shop is out of stock, where can I get E2 mag bumpers? Am I SOL?

I don't see why this would not help upper level shooters... Somebody wanna fill me in?

Damn... Beaten by a girl!

I had an IDPA match Saturday and Monday... Due to wet grass and being a moron, I managed to fall over, gun in hand, during a stage at both matches. I didn't 180, or sweep myself, but it was unnerving anyway. I have got some new shoes now, (nearly cleats) so I don't think it will happen again. But 2 falls in 2 matches has got to be some kind of record.

I should set this one up and give it a go... looks like fun.

Bill, You mean you dont have 2 copies?

My favorite part was when Anakin got BOTH his legs chopped off in one go. Then he got his arm cut off. Then he got lit on fire. I can not believe that it was PG-13.

I think those sorts of lasers are used to attract midgets, IIRC.

I think jerry should go for it.... why the hell not?

Rick is right I think. A good training philosophy is to Practice what you can, when you can. However, when I "visualize" shooting when I am doing something else, It would be more accuratly described as daydreaming. haha

I tend to set up components of stages. Just small things like moving to a barricade and shooting around it. In dry fire, I run 20+ rd stages. Its all part of the fun!

I really hate it when people have the whole back of thier *%&*#ing car plastered with 26 different bumper stickers. It bugs the piss out of me. And they are usually really redundant. I don't need to see 6 stickers from the same political party on someones car to know who they support!

How does that whole thing work anatomically speaking? I mean an egg doesn't have an..uhhh... nevermind.

The farther I am from the targets, the more likly I am to see the front post lifting out of the notch. Up in close, I dont usually see it. As I develop I expect to see more, but I am a relative newcomer.

what happened to Ol rhino anyway?

Greenbean, It sounds like you may have gotten a "dud". I would give Kimber a call.

Rock, When I am dry fireing, I do focus on mechanics. I get the "feel" for whatever technical things I am working on. Dry fire is different than live fire, and I treat it differently. Just relax, and focus on hitting your A's. Stick with your practice, you will get results.

Dry fire has helped my transition speed quite a bit. What dry fire does is help you aquire the next target in your vision quickly and move your sights on to the aiming area with precision. You should give a greater expination of what you mean by "Double Tap". Are you aiming both shots, or just aiming the first one?

"That may be your best post ever" I will second that.
