  1. We are considering running IDPA matches at Oak Hill gun club in Portland Michigan dates times have still not been determined. Is there any interest in shooting in this area? This club now shoots IPSC by Chris v. Please let me know if you have any interest in shooting or could possibly help out with set up on fri or SO on sat Eric
  2. Is there a way to remove the stock spring from the stock guide rod without damaging it? Does that end piece just pull out and can be snapped back in with the new spring?
  3. +++++++++++++ On this view. We never mandated a Tac or RWR on any scenario stages in our matches last year. We did mandate some on standard exercises only. Providing a wall gives the shooter an option on how they want to shoot the stage and creates movement. We liked to require shooing on the move also. I'm personally not that concerned about round bumping as long as the target is engaged. One would probably shoot a bad guy more than twice anyway. More rounds fired on target takes time too.
  4. Harold, I'm assuming you didn't shoot last year's MI State Match, with the dreaded wall. More like a carnival shoot than an IDPA scenario. Anyway, I disagree with the extremely dissapointing part. That is a little harsh isn't it? Was it disappointing because you shot it poorly? Why is that the fault of the stage? Was it unsafe? Was it unfair? I for one, don't think so. But, this is why we debate. Dick Hi Dick. The stage was bad because it was unfair.. Inconsistent, unfair swinger and poor activator placement. I don't know how the swinger presented itself to you when you shot it but only one shooter in our group got clean hits on the swinging target. Most had cover procedurals and NT penalties. We only need to look at the loads of penalties and time many shooters took on that stage, that tells you and me it was bad. As I said before 11 great stages, one bad one that should have been thrown out. Dick it is hard when MD's, S0's and staff work hard for no pay then have to take criticism. Harold has been a (IPSC) MD for years, we both are now running CCRC IDPA. I have shot every MI state match, all 10 of them. This was a poorly designed stage. We made this assessment before we shot the stage. It was disappointing because that one stage was costly to so many shooters. Eric Line
  5. I didn't see anybody do that. However, there were a few that "engaged" the target and took the -10 rather than waiting for an opportunity to get two good hits. We were told in our group that we would get a FTDR for putting two in the NT without attempting to engage the shootable target. No one in good conscience would take that shot from that position, in any kind of real world environment. I waited about 20 seconds for a good shoot. Never got it so fired two rounds into the berm. I thought refusing to engage would also incure a penalty. I have shot all 10 MI IDPA state matches and never shot a more unfair stage. There were 11 very good COF's in this match and One very bad one. I also have issues with the steel not calabrated for 9mm but that is another issue.
  6. This was a completely unfair stage. One can tell bad stages by the number of penalties issued. I could tell it was a bad stage before i shot it. Inconsistent swinger. For many the shootable swinging target behind the no-shoot swinger never presented a shootable target, or might if you wait for 30 seconds. Some got a better chance to shoot it, some did not. Many procedurals do to cover. As you mention, placing the activator in the middle of a big opening with a very fast disappearing target presented more Procedurals. The stage should have been thrown out and not scored.
  7. I ran into Jeff at the last Lansing/Mason gun show. He seemed happy and doing great. Such a tragedy. I'm reminded of the late Brian Bilby, and Greg Bever. You'll be missed. Eric Line
  8. After wading though 4in of clay mud on Friday, I think we got the kinks worked out and most had a good time on Saturday and Sunday, which had much better weather and range conditions. Anyone shoot this match and would like to make comment good or bad? I was one of the friendly SO's
  9. The uncle mikes paddle fits closer and doesn't let light through it, and i use it all the time. So if you want a cheap holster that works well get the uncle mike's paddle. The belt holster is now outlawed. The new holster rule is bull if you ask me.
  10. Fun match, had a great time. Never shot an XD but got to shoot all the versions in the match. It was great you supplied all the guns, ammo and eyes and ears. I heard about the match at the NRA convention, so I didn't have any equipment with me. Never shot an XD before but got to shoot all the versions in the match. Might have to trade in my glocks. The all steel format was great too, fun for the shooters and spectators and easy to score. It was great meeting Rob too, hell of a nice guy. Eric Line
  11. Bart, Do you have a digital camera? Take several photos of the gun and case. If you don't have one, I can take the photos. Dean Speir has done years of research on Glock KB's and has never seen a documented case of a 9mm Glock KB. I may not make it to Sat. Classifier.., broke my toe... can't walk or stand very long... ya I'm a pussy. Eric

  13. Ya Baby!! About time you guys started to bitc#! I have been spewing about the inconsistencies in clubs for some time. I even wrote an article to publish in IDPA journal about inconsistencies in scoring. I was persuaded that it would not get published so I did not send it in. A couple clubs score the targets from behind you, as you are shooting the course. When you are done shooting and you want to check your targets with the scorekeeper, they are already scored and the score sheet for the next shooter is up. I was given a secret procedural once, and had no idea for what. Questioning any calls at one of the clubs in question will do nothing but get you in a fist fight with the RO. I personally witnessed this at the State match last year. The RO was out of line, not the shooter. There is a Gestapo Attitude seeping into some IDPA clubs. P.S. You guys must have a lot of time on your hands posting on all these forums. Why not use just one instead of 5 or 6. I have a hard time tracking all these. (Edited by eel at 9:15 am on Oct. 8, 2002)
