Nightforce

I received the gun controller at the end of last week and have been trying the thing out. So far it appears to be very realistic. The environment is very good, the physics appear to be correct and I love the fact that it has been designed around USPSA and steel challenge. I can see that if the plan is to use it as a training tool the user will need to be disciplined in using it as a training tool and not get sucked into playing it as a game chasing high scores. I will need more time with the 320 as the controller to see if it will affect my index in real life or not. I see this as very good to bridge the gap between dry fire and live fire. You get scoring feedback and the system is very sensitive to using a poor grip. A poor grip will result in poor hits at speed. It is amazing to train on movement stages. You can very easily experiment with different approaches to run the stage and evaluate the results using time and hit factor to show what way might be best. It also has most of the USPSA moving targets that makes it easy to get lots of practice on swingers and such.

Is anyone using the Ace XR virtual reality to dry fire train? For those using the system what are your thoughts regarding it being a legit training tool or just a game.

You can just replace the trigger spring for $3. The NY trigger spring is either Olive Drab or Orange, remove the NY spring out of the trigger housing and toss it. Install the OEM trigger spring. Make sure you orient the OEM trigger spring in the correct "S configuration" direction when installing. You tube videos will be useful so that you get the spring in the correct direction and install the slide stop correctly as far as the pin and spring orientation is concerned.

Slapping a no shoot target next to a barrel that is not being painted is a bad idea. Now applying penalties for the no shoot target can not be applied correctly. At a local match if the club is not painting the barrels then hard cover on the side of the target nearest the barrel helps keeping the scoring calls more accurate. If it is a level two match all of the barrels next to targets must be painted or the match is going to be in for big problems.

I heard that slow is smooth and smooth is fast when it comes to last round ejections. I heard you should use a hard front sight focus while flipping and catching. I also heard that the flip and catch doesn't work if you have an occluded red dot. I also heard that the flip and catch will get you killed in the streets. I also heard that real men don't need to flip and catch because their 45ACP is already empty.

The inaugural USPSA match at the Cardinal Shooting Center in Marengo (Basically Columbus) Ohio was a great time. They had 8 really fun stages. Having 8 stages at a local match was great. Thanks to the match director Dan Click and Khory Katz for running the stats also thanks to anyone else that helped make the match happen. Anyone in the area should make it a point to add this match to their schedule this summer. See you on the range. Rick Powers

Spinal Flow Yoga is the absolute best advice.

We are all signed up. The DSS crew is ready to have some fun.

KETO is the best thing that has ever happened to my health. At first in the beginning before becoming fat adaptive you may feel weak and tired. After becoming completely fat adapted my energy levels are way beyond any other time in my life eating the standard American diet. With the combination of KETO and intermitted fasting I can go much longer periods of time with out a crash or running out of energy. An all day match is not a problem and I don't need a bunch of snacks to get me through the day not to mention my mental focus has greatly improved. My memory and total brain function has shown significant improvement. My brain is firing much faster than ever before. I used to have brain fog and trouble pulling my thoughts together. Eating the proper Human diet vs the Standard American diet has eliminated inflammation and swelling in my joints and the rest of my body. I am down to a very healthy weight, I no longer get headaches, my knees don't hurt, my fingers joints no longer hurt, and I have energy for days. I run regularly up to and including Marathons with no issues. An important aspect of the Ketogenic Lifestyle is to make sure to read the labels on everything and don't trust foods labeled as "KETO friendly" without checking it for yourself. The best way to navigate through all the BS is to learn the true meaning of the Ketogenic lifestyle which is not just eating low carbs. So much more is involved related to eliminating the inflammatory foods out of your diet.

Don Bates has got me wanting to come down to shoot with you guys. Don said the range is top notch. See you on the range.

I have enough to cover all matches for next season. The amount of practice I can perform is to be determined. After next season if things don't change I am in trouble.

I hate when I smash a primer due to a crimped primer pocket. Before the shortage it didn't bother me as bad. Now I hate loosing a single primer.
