I just came back from a big match and there was a sponsored shooter there that had one. Very Sweet! Clear glass all the way to the edges and a nice even view on 1x.

Well it depends on stage size and format. Big 3-gun field stages can really take it out of you so 5 or 6 a day is enough. Pistol only I'd say 10 is about the limit before tired / bad habits start to show up.

I also think that if it's a local club match the R.O. should be pointing out 180 "traps" to new shooters during stage brief and a reminder when they are up. If we want the sport to grow it has to be safe and it has to be fun. Sending a new shooter home is just bad press and can be avoided.

Make sure you tune your ejector so the spent rounds dont bounce off of the sight mount causing jams

Love the XDM. Like the grip angle better than the Glock

That's awesome!

So yes or no on needing a sling for the shotgun?

Can not wait! Such a great match last year. Plus I get to sleep in my own bed?

I have a STI Steelmaster and the safety dose not move with the hammer down. You might want to have it looked at

The only issue I have had is sometimes the spent casing bounces off the sight mount and gets pinched in the slide as it moves forward

I like the Armalite. It's got 3 chambers plus tunable screws. Once you get it locked in it is amazing.

Looking forward to it!

I love my XDM but Glock is still on top due to the amount of aftermarket parts and work being done on them on a large scale. Just about anything you can think of is made for a Glock.

I treat it like golf. Just you against the course. Out energy into being the best you can and everything else will take care of itself

Like all guns it just depends on how far you want to go. Triggers, barrels, guide rods are all great but spend some of the money on training also and it will make a big difference

How many stages?

Signed up. Can't wait!

That video is really cool!

First identify what you need to work on and focus on that. Most will continue to do what they are good at which really doesn't help at all. Next break down that need into it's smallest components. Run drills that focus on those components. Spend real time on these drills. I see a lot of people working on everything at the range. Pick 1 or 2 things and really get after it. Also don't spend more than 2 hours at a time without a break. When you get tired you get sloppy and sloppy teaches bad habits.

I love the Delta point. I own 3 and will use another on my next build. Just awesome

I like the SC belt. Don't fall for cheap knock offs. A good belt is needed to keep all your equipment secure. And as stages are becoming more dynamic, now more than ever you need a good belt.

Whiskey arms is the way to go. Way light at a good price. And you get to pick the color....

Shoot the front one first. Sometimes you can pick up doubles as the plates fall off and strike the back star.

There are 2 gun matches at Liberty Hill Texas every month.

I use the Armalite muzzle break. Like most of the good breaks it has 3 chambers plus tuning screws to really get it dialed in.
