  1. I am good with this as long as Greg doesn't have to nominate one of his friends.
  2. While I am no master class guy, I have had this experience: When I am a bit tired, I shoot better. It seems to flow better, as if my ego and expectations did not get booted up because being tired has taken all the RAM. Sometimes it seems as if I was a spectator to the front sight rather than the driver.
  3. Big plus one! I do not get the whole ambiguity is fun and fair argument. It frustrates the !@#$%^&* out of me. Competition thrives when the terms of the competition are CLEARLY defined.
  4. Mike was class all the way. He said to that even if he had not gotten stuck on the shotgun, he doubted he could have beaten Dustin that day. It was refreshing to see the final 5 guys all be guys you would want to shoot with. Not like last season and the mean girls club. Dustin was a lot like Jay from last season, nothing to lose, everything to win. Dustin, you done real well!
  5. Not impressed. Rick should be ashamed to parade his wife and underage daughter around like that. Anything for fame.
  6. From the beginning I picked Chris and Mike to fight it out in the end. Gary is no slouch and Dustin is the sleeper. All of them are worthy of winning.
  7. I felt a bunch of guilt about going back to school. I worked all day, school 3 nights a week, study the rest. My wife was really on the back burner. She supported me in this. The real guilt came from the fact that I really liked going to school and studying. But your guilt about shooting is chewing a the back of your brain. It impacts your shooting, and based on your info I feel it is really misplaced. You are one of the good guys.
  8. The Assassination of Jesse James, is a great Afflect flick. Better than all the rest. The Killer Inside Me was disturbing but good!
  9. So will teh DM class shooters only shot against other DM class shooters in matches?
  10. It is the Indian, not the arrow. The Beretta is fine. Is the glock better? Is green better than blue? It depends on who is answering.
  11. I like this. My mental prebeep que is always, chin up, ( work well with my eyes and the glasses, and BREATHE. Thanks for posting!

    Schrödinger's Cat

    Schrödinger's Cat, Oh my head hurts. I aint a stupid guy, but the wikipedia article was way over my head.
  13. I am sorry, they are 230 LRN. Thanks
  14. My Kimber TLE II shoots better than I ever will. Added a S&A Magwell and never looked back. Any gun mentioned in this thread will work. It is more Indian and less Arrow. Good luck!
  15. I am loading LRN Bear Creek with Bullseye. I want to make USPSA power factor. Does anyone have any recipes or links to same? thanks, John
  16. As an SO and MD I think IDPA is doing a real disservice to the members and especially the SOs. The rulebook is inadequate. Why do they go to the trouble to tell you how much your gun can weigh and what power factor you have to make, but fail?/elect to define key terms like cover? I know cover when I see it. What happens when our perceptions of cover do not meet? IDPA is a money making enterprise. It seems to have little interest in what the competitors want or need. I, as a member, am not asking for lower match fees, lower annual fees, a new hat, stickers or glossy magazine. I want a well written rulebook.
  17. Thanks for posting that. Who would have thought that something as taken for granted as breathing could be more important than pulling the trigger? This is a real nice piece of info to try out!
  18. When I used to run, I ran a lot of trail/road races. ON the days when I just wasn't motivated to go out and put in the miles, or make the miles I ran quality miles I always said this to myself: "I bet he is running today." He being the "other" guy. It worked then. Now things have changed. I have my own reasons for competing. I love to win. I hate to lose. But I learn from both. The wins are all fair breezes and golden sunlight, at leas that is how I remember them. The losses use to be agonizing. Now it is different in regard to losing. I never lose anymore. Sure I fail sometimes, but I always take something good away from loss, just as every victory has room for honest improvement. Winning is worthless without losing. Attitude goes a long way in regard to coping with both.
  19. I wish they would address this in some sort of official fashion. The way I see it is this: Cover, no bullets go through. ie. walls/doors, cars, hard things Concealment, I can't see you because of visual interference: ie. smoke, dark, shower curtain. Yes, all cover can be concealment, but not all concealment is cover. I would think that this would be a no brainer for the rule book.
  20. I have found that I am jacked up the night before some big matches and just don't get enough sleep,(or as much as I want) and I have had some of my best matches. I think it is because my mind is sort of relaxed and in some ways open to possibilities that are not seen by the anxiety pre-match mind.
