  1. Orthotics are the first choice to correct the problem. They usually work. They are designed to provide some support for your arch and the heal is raised. The reason for the raised heal is to unload the stretch on the calf muscle when your opposite leg passes over center when walking. The main cause for the issue is to tight calf muscles. Ask the Pedorthist for the name of a good Physical Therapist specializing in foot issues. Once you feal better for a while contact the therapist and have them start you on a stretching program. This will be the way to keep the issue from coming back.
  2. You would think GoPro Customer Service would chime in on this. I sent them an email and no response.
  3. I had different foot issues and messed around with 3 podiatrists for two years. Hurt so bad I stayed in my chair and wheeled it around the office. Went to a foot surgeon and he sent me to a specific doctor at the Cleveland Clinic. They were unreal. They diagnosed it as something horse get. They made special inserts for my shoes and the problem went away. At this point I don't have high regards for podiatrists.
  4. I shoot a sig P226 X5 Allround in USPSA. It has a 5" barrel which makes for a good sight radius. In dry fire I notice the difference in Da/Sa trigger. Shooting matches I feel no differences. The gun is heavier than most. I also have a P226 that I shoot. Being located in Canada you are limited to 10 round mags. The 10 round mags I have suck. I use 15 or 18 round mags loaded with 10 rounds only for production. This setup is very reliable.
  5. I shot this match also. Stage 5 there was one spot on the left where the first 5 targets could be shot from, then run up the side to get the down range targets. Coming back around the wall to the right side there again was one spot there you could shoot those first 5 targets then run down range to finish the last targets. Bad knees and foot issues makes me look for these advantages. It does save a lot of movement.
  6. I have an acquaintance who's duty weapon is a Glock. He had issues shooting it accurately for years. Someone told him to only apply front to back pressure with his strong hand. Apply side to side pressure with the weak hand. This technique worked like a charm. I saw him shoot 5 rounds in a quarter sized area at 15 yards and under 5 seconds.
  7. I goy my laptop back. It took a month and a half to get working. The down load corrupted the SSD drive on the machine. The drive had to be wiped clean and windows reinstalled. I did not know Sketchup 2018 when the 30 day free trial was up would not revert to Sketchup make. The computer tech did his best to save a lot of items. Once I got it back I had to install Sketchup make 2017. I could open most of my files. The 6 I did on Sketchup 2018 are unreadable. I have to start from scratch on those again. It will take some time to get everything in order again. At least I can now get started on stages for our club 2018.
  8. Two years ago a shooter from California was in town for about a month. He used 10 round mags and shot limited. He was very competitive and good. Sectionals around here draw a bunch of Canadian shooters. They have friends this side of the boarder who hold there high capacity mags for them. Going back they drop off those mags and use 10 rounders in Canada.
  9. I own a Sako Finwolf in .308. While I love the gun it is just a woods deer getter. I free floated the barrel and glass bed the action. The point of impact changes from the morning to the afternoon.
  10. TennJeep1618, Yes having major issues. I took my laptop to a local upscale computer repair shop. They have had it for two weeks and got to working on it today. They tell me it is a very fast machine and all the components are working correctly. All issues are graphic related although the card is testing fine. They are going to start rolling back the updates and see what that will do. They are at this point stumped. Sketchup forums indicate that rolling back the updates might help. Once I know the issue I will update this post. Thanks Jay
  11. Anyone having issues with Sketchup after windows updates? Jay
  12. If the plug is factory supplied and found on their other guns plugging it would be Okay.
  13. I am trying to setup a GoPro 5 Sessions as a hat cam. Has anyone figured out the funny sound issue when shooting. Thanks Jay
  14. I bought my MSA Sordins from SRS Tactical about 4 years ago. Had them do some service on them also. I think SRS is the US importer of these. Get the gel ear pads they fit over shooting grasses better. Jay
  15. Look at LA Police gear pants. Work well for me.
  16. Enos Brain Trust, A couple of years ago I shot non-steel plate racks at an indoor range. Our club has an issue with a shooter showing up practicing with steel targets. Any leads on non-steel plate racks or dueling trees would be appreciated. At the time the plate was a self healing material and would last about 500 rounds. Thanks in Advance Jay
  17. We used a 2"x4" rectangular tube as the vertical supports. The reason was a 2x2 is 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" square. We wanted the inside dimension to be 1-1/2" wide. The wall thickness was determined to get that dimension. We made them 9"" tall. We used seamed material. This let one baracede be stable against the seam when used by itself and we could use one base for the ends connecting two walls or making 90 degree turns with the walls. The flat material we used under the bases was to thin. This allowed the wings sticking out on the ground to bend. Make sure the base materials are thick enough and wide enough. Your steel erector friend should be of some help there.
  18. Once you decide on the ammo you prefer sites like ammoseek can be used to find the best prices.
  19. I am not sure there is a 10 round magazine for this gun. I also checked +2 magazine adapters and found none.
  20. I put tape over all the mike holes thinking that might help. Shot a match with the fix and still funny sounding reports. Jay
  21. I mounted a GoPro Hero 5 Sessions to my hat. The gun shots seem to overwhelm the mic. Has anyone come up with a solution to this issue. Thanks Jay
  22. Thanks for the thought. I think I need to remove the front glass to add the foam. Might cause the waterproof seal to break. Will work on it in the next few days.
  23. I just made a video while shooting some stages at a local USPSA match. I mounted a GoPro Hero 5 Sessions on the brim of my ball cap. The actual shots sound very weird. Voice commands were very clear. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can adjust the camera to make the shots sound normal. Thanks Jay
  24. I have had MSA muffs for years. Since I have these I sort of keep up on the brand. I have read that they have just changed the electronics and are currently having issues. Keep up on what is going on with the brand. Once the issues are resolved they should work as good or better than mine that I like a lot. They have good customer service out of Florida. Jay
  25. I have a friend that would shoot dead on and was very fast with metal guns. His duty gun was a glock and he spent years trying to figure out how to shoot it. He could not shoot it well.One of his buddies told him to only apply strong hand grip pressure front to back. Weak hand only side to side. Once he figured that out he now shoots it great. Jay
