Sees Sights Lift

Sees Sights Lift (7/11)

  1. I don't know about where you're shooting, but most of the WSB i've seen, even if it is a "start anywhere" stage still reference "standing", which is clearly defined and doesn't allowed for a kneeling, crouching, or even hunched start. I can't imagine a bipod being useful at all in a USPSA match unless absolutely everything could be shot from a single position, which should never be the case.
  2. LSI is currently making them, and I believe Atlas is going to start offering them but likely only on new builds for now.
  3. Always based on the backstop or berm of the range. If it were relative to the stage you could have people shooting uprange all the time...
  4. Set your social media to private as well if it's a concern.... While we live in a tech society now, access to you is only as free as you allow it in your personal online presence. However, as always, when in public, you may be photographed and/or video recorded doing things you may not want an employer to notice. If this is a concern enough you are worried about showing up to matches for fear of retribution from your employer, then perhaps a new hobby/sport is a better option. In this over-litigious society we find ourselves now, I would be only too happy to play the game, if while engaging in a lawful activity and constitutionally protected action in my personal time, I was fired for "conduct unbecoming" and would ensure the resulting payday would render my need to ever work again unnecessary. All in all, aside from a completely unsuccessful bid to paint a recent police shooting as unlawful due to the Officer engaging in competitive shooting on their personal time...is there ANY documented case in which this has been a legitimate concern?
  5. Just go shoot and don't worry about what your classification is right now. It isn't going to help, or hurt you. Trying to game the system a couple months into your shooting matches is foolish at best and only sabotaging your progress. Go shoot. Grow your skillset, and let your classification fall where it may.
  6. IF it is engaged from a position in which it is not visible and the barrels are considered hard cover then it's an FTSA. If you cannot legally engage the target, you cant just shoot through/at props to "game it". If this person is intentionally shooting range props it's a match DQ. They can take the FTSA and Mike, or the Match DQ, their choice.
  7. I've got 2 Honchos, and will be looking to move one of them in Black DLC. It is very durable as a coating, and with proper maintenance has been an absolute hammer. I've loved shooting mine and the customer service that I have received was top notch including direct contact late at night and teaming me with a sponsored shooter during nationals when i encountered an issue.
  8. I ran a 7 without issue with my 9 major loads and it ran very flat.
  9. Or.....and hear me out here.....focus on the way you need to shoot the stages and your overall match performance versus spending time and cognitive bandwidth on the stupid stage names at a given match... I dont think i've seen anyone go GM by creating "cool" stage names.
  10. Nothing has been finalized, correct? Aside from a long standing and well respected person now working for the gun industry I haven't seen any real correspondence from USPSA on any change to the definition of a compensator. Has that changed in the last few days?
  11. Ask him if there are differentiating female standards for SWAT? As I've seen there is a single standard, and you are measured against your ability to perform. If this sport is still about PRACTICAL shooting, then practical firearms skills and the ability to run a gun under practical circumstances are blind to gender, race, age etc. Get in and compete, or don't. Acknowledging a category at major matches can make sense to separate awards, but it makes no sense for classifications. The standard is the standard and you fall where you fall. While skills, agility, etc can degrade over time and sorry to perform may change, changing the standard for classification doesn't make sense, unless we get rid of the ability to "zero" scores and everything counts for classification which would give a more comprehensive look at individual skills over the life of the competitor. But that comes with its own problems as well.
  12. Back-up guns are never NEEDED.....until they are. If you're running your guns hard, two is one, one is none.
