[Splatter hits no shoot]

Looks a lot like a sideways bullet having tumbled after hitting the steel. I would say the call is legit.

I would agree.

How far back was the no shoot and was it directly behind the target or to the side.

[Safariland 3-Gun Bag only $80 at Midway]

I saw this but the 46in is too short for my shotgun and too long for me to want to stuff ARs in it. Wish it was a different length. Just a heads up for others interested.

[Christian Sailer sweeps it!]

Has this ever been done before in same season?

[Recommendations to shoot? Phoenix area Oct 31 to Nov 13]

Rio Salado Sportsman's Club https://www.rsscaz.com/
 
Phoenix Rod & Gun Club https://phoenixrodandgun.org/
 
Both are within 45 minutes of Sky Harbor Airport, and both have pistol matches galore.  See the "Calendar" feature in each of the provided links.
 
Have fun and good luck.

Can you confirm shooting starts at 8 tomorrow for USPSA. Practiscore and website says 8 but I never know if thats shots fired or registration.

[Recommendations to shoot? Phoenix area Oct 31 to Nov 13]

Don't forget Tuesday Night Steel at Rio...
 

Thanks. Good points!

[Recommendations to shoot? Phoenix area Oct 31 to Nov 13]

Thanks! Looks like I can shoot Thursday steel and Nov 2nd USPSA at Phoenix Rod and Gun.

If I planned this better and it wasn’t a short notice trip I would have signed up for Area 2.

[Recommendations to shoot? Phoenix area Oct 31 to Nov 13]

I will be working near the Phoenix airport Sky Harbor from Oct 31st to Nov 13. Any local USPSA or Steel matches in the area. I am flexible but prefer to stay within 45 minutes of the airport. I’ll bringing all my stuff to dry fire but wouldn’t mind checking out a local event. Thanks!

[9mm light loads]

This is true when the heavy bullets and lighter bullets are loaded to a similar power factor.  The heavy bullet is perceived to have a softer recoil. 
If PF isn't in play then this isn't true, you go with lighter bullets loaded as soft as will reliably operate your gun if soft recoil is the goal.  You see it in some guys who are all in on Steel Challenge; light bullet, weak load, reduced springs, very low PF.  You can load a 95 or 100 gr .380 projectile in a 9mm casing and push it at 1050 to 1100 fps with reduced springs and it's stupid soft.  PF just over 100 or so.

Makes sense. I have not dabbled in those loads as I have used PF as my minimum requirement. Now that you mention it, I think I will try some test loads too see how it feels.

[Trigger freeze]

Thanks for bringing this up. I am also looking for suggestions.

[9mm light loads]

Felt recoil may be less using heavier grain bullets such as 147s. It’s generally perceived as less snappy and softer feeling

For minimum PF I use 3.2 titegroup with 147s. That’s about 130PF. You may be be able to go down to about 2.9 for even lighter loads that should still cycle most slides.

[From humble beginnings - Learning this "action pistol" thing]

Keep up the good work and keep practicing. It will pay off. I think I know what club your talking about. If you have time, we shoot USPSA at Paul Bunyan Club every 2nd Sunday. Shouldn’t be too much further depending where your located. Let me know if you need more info on local clubs and matches.

[entery level bolt gun]

I would go #1 or #2 but honestly if you have chance I would go put your hands on them. It can say a lot to feel them out and test the triggers.

[Rock Island.]

The Taylor Freelance fattie works great. You will need base pads on your factory magazines though. If you don’t currently have a magwell I’m guessing you have flat base magazines.

I have a Dawson magwell here I may try it on my RIA. I never thought to see how close it fit. I’ll get back to you.

[Mags won't drop]

I vote feed lips as well. If you have a mag that drops free and one that doesn’t, see if you can use a micrometer to see a difference.

[1911 *must have* Upgrades for USPSA]

How does the gun shoot now? What is it? I would take it and just shoot a few matches and you will know. Sights are great, trigger is helpful, magwell is nice, but practice is huge. Be prepared for 8 round magazines on 28-40 round stages if it’s a 45. Single stack is my favorite class but it can be a pain sometimes. Lots of mags and belt space.

[Quad loading question]

I ran into this exact problem today. Really set me back while I though about my next move. Glad to see the suggestions. Now to incorporate it into my practice.

[Do you really need a high dollar bolt gun to shoot PRS]

Use what you have. It will work fine. As you progress you may change your mind but that gun will be good for a learning and figuring out what you like. If you have a good optic and practice regularly you will do fine. Upgrade later if it holds you back.

[Lee Pro 1000]

I’m with you. I started on a loadmaster and a 1000. Traded a gun for a 550. Shortly there after got rid of my Lee equipment and bought another 550 and a SDB. Just sold my SDB and bought a 650. Dillon all the way for me now. After using my buddies hornady loadmaster the other day I reconfirmed my love for dillon.

[Which is your favorite CZ and why?]

Love my accushadow. My scorpion is a close second though.

[Advice for Newbie Running CZ Scorpion?]

http://westacholsters.com/products/cz-scorpion-single-mag-carriers

 

I have these. They work well. No problems. 

 

I also run these. I am very happy. Quick shipping, work great, and well priced.

 

Regarding ammo, I haven’t found anything it doesn’t like. I reload almost everything, but everything my other guns don’t like, my CZ doesn’t seem to care. It even ate my funky hollow points that were loaded all the way to mag length.

[Noob here and just shot my first USPSA match the other day]

What setup and gun are you using? Just a hint from when I started a couple years ago...don’t go down the rabbit hole of trying to buy a bunch of good equipment right away. Shoot a few matches and talk to other shooters. Try out there gear and see what you like. Welcome to a very addicting hobby.

[Load data for 147g coated bullet with titegroup]

3.2 TG with rainier 147gr TRN or HP bullets. Makes minimum PF every time and shoots reliably in all of 12 of my 9mm Guns.

[Barrel Length Question]

How accurate are you? I would say your abilities may determine your answer. Shorter barrel could mean more recoil and shorter sight distance but if you can perform with that, especially with a comp, then why not. I use a 6in barrel in my limited gun but a 4.5 on my production gun. I shoot both well but longer barrels is easier for me to place accurate shots with.

[Which pistol for first USPSA Match?]

IMO I would use what you feel most comfortable with. If you already have mags and a holster than that would drive my decision towards that gun. I personally would lean towards the Eagle but if you shoot the Glock more and have the equipment go that route. If it’s just for fun then use what you have. You will learn so much more showing up with what is comfortable and watching as you go.
