I went to a ghost ultimate. I now use a CR Speed WSM2

its been talked about, but you really don't have a true air tight system anyway. The only seal you get is when the cartridge is fired and the brass expands to seal against the chamber wall. first round pop isn't all that bad. If you wish to see how it sounds go stand downrange and off to the side of the firing line and have someone shoot down range. You will hear the round pass you (if supersonic) and if its any half decent suppressor you won't hear anything from the gun.

I use mine in practice mainly. Its also great for indoors using it in airsoft mode it will detect hammer strike. I've tried it in spy mode at a local match, but I always seem to forget I have it on after the course of fire.

shooting the gun upside down.... pretty useless....

the 300WM is expensive, the ultras are even more expensive.... so pic your poison. personally I went from 300WM to 7WSM, getting far better performance out of a short action package (I know its what you listed). My buddy got a 7Rem Mag sendero that turned out to be pretty good and he's been killing deer at 700-800 yards with it for the last few years.

yeah, 'try' to shoot the front first from top to bottom, if the back starts spinning and you pick up on movement you can attempt to trap them in your sights

the 308 is classic... the 6.5 is higher BC and faster. Your goal is to find a mix of the highest BC and fastest bullet you can send downrange. if you're shooting unknown range you want faster, whereas on a known distance range you can use the higher BC, slower, heavier bullets.

watch for ricochets.... I made some bowling pin steel targets for our range to do bowling pin shoots with and haven't had any issues since.

Fault lines do not have to be on the floor. You can use rope and target stands. Granted they can be "moved" but it may help. We used to have an indoor match and they would use sheets hanging from the target shuttle wires as vision barriers. and "walls". You will find that you may be able to get a bit more freestyle than you think. Also, I remember shooting some poppers at the Scottsdale Gun Club that had some sort of bullet trapping coating on the face that worked pretty well. The only issue I remember is that the coating was black and that, combined with the black back stop, made for a stealth target! I have also seen wood shrouds surrounding poppers that kept splatter contained to some degree. You would probably want to stick to forward falling poppers. Out of curiosity, where is this range? Later, Chuck (I really miss "Action Pistol Night" at the local range. A short drive for a change and no dirt/sand and A/C made it all the better!) Chuck the range is in Charlotte, NC. I'm thinking of some sort of shrouded box to build over my plate rack, but I'm not sure we will be able to get poppers... I want to try to get people to not hit the floor.

you just tape over the 1x2?

we just formed a uspsa club so it will have to be legit and conform to the rules.... I'm thinking of using more classic targets and more arrays, but we have stages where you can definitely get some movement (for indoor). We can use limited steel, I'm thinking using more plate racks to keep shots off the floor. still the hardest thing is going to be keeping fault lines from moving around. I think using tape on the floor to mark corners and edges of boxes, lines, etc... Hoping we can get it all figured out.

for 1911 you can get some VZ grips that have a very aggressive cut on them. There is also a company (I forget the name) that makes a grip for a 1911 that is as fat as a 2011 and you can get it stippled up.

I added a tourniquet, some quick clot, and some Israeli bandages. It fits right down in an easy access secion.

going to try out some ideas this week at the range

Chuck, I've thought about this and the current floor is a little dusty. we have a 'fun match' that is not sanctioned where we use tape and the tape even peels up from time to time. I'm more worried about someone knocking a box out of position or kicking a fault line.

Amen! Had this happen to me at SC state match.... lesson learned

I had this happen to me at the SC state match.... last stage of the day..... bummer. new holster ordered!

yes it was explained to me one day and I tried it. I was having issues with very wide transitions and I was 'overshooting' the transition (like going beyond the target in my movement) so another shooter gave me their idea of training w/ the metronome. I let it run slow and when I get into the rhythm I turn it up faster, and faster, and then faster. Its just something I've had help me out. The metronome beat represents your last shot on target and the next beat represents your first shot on the next target.

interesting

I shoot limited & I do my counting during the walk through and plan my reloads. as stated above I try to figure out how many extra shots I have. If its even close I'll treat it like a production gun stage and just reload when I move so I don't cut it close... especially if there is a lot of steel.

Is the tuning kit worth the $$ or is it better to send it off to someone who knows what they are doing?

Do folks here tell you to breath in and breath out? bahahaha

DAA and CR Speed

We are starting a new indoor shooting league and I am wondering what people are using for their fault lines and shooting boxes for indoor matches. We can't spike down furring strips, 2x2's, or pvc because of the concrete floor. we have thought about fastening pvc or furring strips to a rubber mat for 3x3 shooting boxes. We are open to ideas! Thanks

I've been shooting USPSA since last year, but pretty serious about in 2016 and doing much better!
