  1. My intention was to reinforce your point, not call you out For round counting: I generally don't count during the course of fire, i pick out certain points to reload at during the walk through. Depending on the COF, i usually pick a point where i'll be at 18 fired, so there's 2-3 extra shots just in case.
  2. Nearly all limited/open shooters i know never ever want the gun to lock back. It's pretty rare for a high class shooter to click on an empty chamber, at least in my limited experience.
  3. With the nitro fin, i do not have any problems with front racking. I also switch from limited (nitrofin) to SS with no problems.
  4. He started much younger than 18 Way to go Christian!!
  5. ? Ya, I didn't get it specifically for competition, but might as well try it. ? Once I get it sbr'd, i'll get the 9mm conversion pieces and be able to use either config.
  6. Does anyone run one of these? If so, what mag holders do you use? I'm thinking about trying it out in PCC.
  7. Right on! PB is also known as NW01 on practiscore. Here are some past matches: https://practiscore.com/results?query=nw01 I'm not completely sure if PB does pre-reg all the time. We did do it for the last match, but that was a sectional match. Everything else about PB is standard procedure. The action bays are on the left side of the range as you drive in. Come on up and play with us
  8. Join the "USPSA - Washington State Shooters" FB group. There's a lot of info for our section posted there. Generally you can just drive up, pay (25), squad and go. PB has practiscore signup also, so you can do either. I don't believe payment is required to pre-register. It will let you choose your squad earlier, but if you don't know anybody, than that's not an issue. As a USPSA member, I am assuming that you already have had a "safety check". If not, you'll have to get one scheduled. our section also has a basic website, http://northwestsection.org/, that you can get more info from.
  9. On their facebook page. Starts tomorrow
  10. We have that many bays. If it's a bigger match, like a sectional or level 2, other parts of the range will be used as well, like the shotgun range.
  11. The most important to me: Sights (adjustable) with a red FO Trigger job Checkering/grip tape The other items are great to have and important, but those 3 are first.
  12. Nobel sport, vectan powder, http://www.vectan.fr/UK/reloading-charges I don't see any in stock, but these two sites will probably be your best best to find it. https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/category/categoryId/3512 https://www.powdervalleyinc.com/product-category/reloading/powder/?query_type_brand=or&filter_brand=nobel-sport
  13. In our area (area 1, western wa), it's most common to have 7 stages for sunday matches. There's a tuesday night match that is 5-6, and a couple saturday matches that are 5-6.
  14. It's better IMHO to move the gun to the dominant eye. I don't accept what he's saying about "compromising the triangle" aspect. I am cross eye dominant and my right eye is weak even with correction. I did teach myself to shoot rifle left handed when i was a teenager due to this.
  15. I have a hornady locknload, and the powder thrower is very consistent with 320. I have been using 320 for 45 for some time, and just switched to it for 40 from TG.
  16. it can also cause dents in the shoulder due to hydraulic pressure
  17. It's like a DQ, it's not a question of if, it's a question of when ?
  18. Not trying to hijack too much, but: Liebeck’s case was far from an isolated event. McDonald’s had received more than 700 previous reports of injury from its coffee, including reports of third-degree burns, and had paid settlements in some cases. McDonald’s operations manual required the franchisee to hold its coffee at 180 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Coffee at that temperature, if spilled, causes third-degree burns in three to seven seconds. The chairman of the department of mechanical engineering and biomechanical engineering at the University of Texas testified that this risk of harm is unacceptable, as did a widely recognized expert on burns, the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Burn Care and Rehabilitation, the leading scholarly publication in the specialty. McDonald’s admitted it had known about the risk of serious burns from its scalding hot coffee for more than 10 years. The risk had repeatedly been brought to its attention through numerous other claims and suits. An expert witness for the company testified that the number of burns was insignificant compared to the billions of cups of coffee the company served each year. At least one juror later told the Wall Street Journal she thought the company wasn’t taking the injuries seriously. To the corporate restaurant giant those 700 injury cases caused by hot coffee seemed relatively rare compared to the millions of cups of coffee served. But, the juror noted, “there was a person behind every number and I don’t think the corporation was attaching enough importance to that.” McDonald’s quality assurance manager testified that McDonald’s coffee, at the temperature at which it was poured into Styrofoam cups, was not fit for consumption because it would burn the mouth and throat. McDonald’s admitted at trial that consumers were unaware of the extent of the risk of serious burns from spilled coffee served at McDonald’s then-required temperature. McDonald’s admitted it did not warn customers of the nature and extent of this risk and could offer no explanation as to why it did not.
  19. It was a bit more than "hot" hot coffee suit
  20. Especially for cross dominant shooters. I shoot right handed but left eye dominant. It's pretty easy as long as you bring the sights to your eyes. Jerry Miculek also stresses this in some of his videos.

    40 Open

    Are you using that one this season? I've been thinking about 40 open a bit. Are you going to PB this weekend?

    Short funny jokes

    I bought some shoes from a drug dealer. I don't know what he laced them with, but I've been tripping all day
  23. The Missoula range is really nice. They put on a high quality area 1, great people there.
  24. Check out Big Sky Practical Shooting Club in Missoula. They are hosting the Area 1 championship match this weekend. I'm driving over from Washington on Thursday for the match For Spokane: Inland Northwest Action Shooters in Mica, WA. It's about 12 miles SE of Spokane
