    Dry Fire Apps / Timers

    in Handgun Techniques

    Posted · Edited by ccarpediem

    I tossed together a quick free app that will run on anything Windows10 (phone/tablet/PC/etc).  Pretty simple just ability to set delay before beep, multiple different par times, a counter of runs, etc.  The only kind of advanced part is it uses voice synthesizer and speech recognition (backup buttons in case of issues).  So it will as "Are you ready", wait for you to say "ready", then say "standby" and wait random or set delay before beep, then pars.  Then repeat until you want to quit. 

     

    Works well with cordless Bluetooth headsets/earbuds so wife doesn't have to hear all the beeps/noise/etc to keep me out of trouble :)

    DNRO Clarification on Inside/Outside Shooting Area

    in USPSA/IPSC Rules

    ...NOTE: difference between USPSA and IPSC rules on this:   if you're shooting an IPSC match it IS against the rules to start inside the box with one foot on the fault line.....after the start signal you are still considered within the shooting area if you have feet on fault lines (as long as you aren't also touching the ground outside the shooting area)

     

    I don't believe that is true.  I pretty much exclusively compete and RO IPSC matches and I don't believe you will find any rule to support that. I'm somewhat new (4-5 years) so not sure of the history of rules.  I've had a couple cases of ROs trying to enforce that (even one at the latest WS).  I don't argue while I'm on the line (as don't want the distraction), but every time I've asked for the rule after my run they cannot find it and agree it should be allowed.  I've hit a number of cases like this with older ROs so I'm guessing they don't always stay up to date with latest rule changes and this may be a case of that.

    Remove sight from Czechmate Barrel Nut  

    in CZ

    Posted

    I just received a new Czechmate.  I want to replace the front sight on the barrel nut for the limited config.  I've been trying to remove the existing front sight but cannot get the thing to move!  I've removed the set screw, been trying to get it to move with a punch and hammer (beating up the existing sight a bit), put it in the freezer to see if that would help.  Cannot get the darn thing to move!  Any suggestions I should try?

    Atlanta Arms 9mm Major in Czechmate?

    I just don't get it, why buy 9mm major? It is a lot cheaper to load, and it is specific to your gun. I would not trust 9mm major that I did not load myself, not just for the safety aspect, but for reliability as well. I guess that maybe does earn a 'DUH', but common sense must be factored in, and it obviously isn't as people actually seem to buy it, lol.

    The reason I have to buy is the world is f'n stupid :)   I live in the Caribbean and because of some apparently fairly recent change in Hazmat classification I cannot find any shipping company willing to ship primers.  They will ship full ammo, containers full of fireworks, and even explosives and blasting caps for quarries here.  But apparently there is something about shipping primers by themselves where the Hazmat classification means the shippers insurance won't cover it.  No primers means reloading is pretty much screwed.  Pre-primed brass would  work (again that is allowed for some stupid reason), but paying for pre-primed brass wipes out basically all the cost savings
