walking through Bass Pro the other day I noticed little "childrens" 4-wheelers, 90 cc??. I think I could still sit on it and drive it and tow a cart.
I thought of this thread when I saw it.

Thx for the feedback f3 as it sounds like the JP5 juice is worth the squeeze.
Couldn't resist....
Yeah, JP putting on the squeeze to everyone with that price.
I can't talk much though, I have two gmr-15's, although I did buy one used for a bargain.

If it doesn't have to be a wagon, these are fully customizable. https://rangetacticalgear.com/shop/
For those prices does that include someone to push it for you??

Just curiosity, but are the ones who are worst at all the repeated draws, etc., etc. the ones who only think they're fast and wouldn't make the top 20 anyway?
That'd be my guess.
-
Are the lips of the mag worn down just enough to let another round sit just a little too high? and maybe just the variance in diameter of the casings let a slightly undersized one slip upward that tiny amount.

If srs means serious, umm....half way?

I just said it. I see a point in that it's supposed to be a real shooting sport, not airsoft.
Kids and sissies already have the 22 divisions.
Sounds like you also think idpa is real world practice to be taken with the utmost reverence. Now THAT"S a real shooting sport....

Depends on the shape of the female....

That sounds to me like you're over analyzing it. IDK, but I just don't think that the designers of those stages said, "let's see, what can we design a stage to test this time". I think it was more like "hey, let's try this".
But they all, except one, are stand and shoot 5 plates as fast as you can. Why just that one?
And even if they do test those different skills, why do we need to test movement. As has been said, there are plenty of other places to test that.
IMO.

Yes, gmr 15 all the way. And look around for someone selling their backup gun to pay for the jp5. That's what I did.
And ZZT has it right. The gmr with 16" barrel if front heavy for me. I put a Smoke composites handguard on both of mine and they balance nicely now.

There is an interesting evolving contradiction between USPSA (sport) and SCSA. Beginning in 2019 and continuing into 2022, based on feedback from USPSA shooters, USPSA HQ has added classifiers that includes movement. The reasoning is the older "stand and shoot" classifiers do not represent the "practical shooting" (movement) that is the basis for the sport. USPSA HQ has published several articles on this.
Perhaps USPSA HQ will apply the same reasoning to Outer Limits by removing movement to be consistent with the basis of the sport which is stand and shoot as fast as you can. Speed and Accuracy is the hallmark (and the attraction) of SCSA and is not a practical shooting (movement) sport.
USPSA HQ essentially copied the USPSA Classification percentages over to SCSA, including needing only 4 classifiers (stages) to be classified. But I think we would all agree, there is very little comparison in this area between the two sports.
The attraction to USPSA matches is the ever changing stage designs and not the match classifier stage (IMO). SCSA is 100% classifiers. Perhaps adding 2 new stages to SCSA would increase the attraction to SCSA and give more options to Match Directors for their weekly stage selections? Increasing the Peak Time basis with two creative new stages may be a better solution than trying to figure out how equitably reduce Peak Times for the same 8 stages year after year?
Exactly. It would be SOO simple just to eliminate the movement from OL.
Adding new stages-ok with me but not a priority.
-
IMO, flat nose are the worst to feed in anything and round nose is the best. I'd sell it.
-
All of this discussion of OL is not about changing the outcomes of the top, or even probably middle, class shooters. They will win regardless. It is about opening the sport up to more people and leveling the field for physically impaired (even slightly by age or bad knees).
-
I have the factory trigger. I recently measured it and the pull is right at 3 lbs +/-. I also shoot the same setup for uspsa with 124 bullets 130-135 PF.
-
I'm currently running 4 steel, 1 tungston, with SCS, short stroke, newest bolt, lightest (factory) spring. I'm using 100gr berrys bullets over 2.9/3.0 gr Titegroup at 1.100 oal for 100-104 PF. Runs very smoothly.
-
Cory, While what you say is true to a large extent, the two concepts are not mutually exclusive. We can work on those things while also keeping the shooters we have now happy too.
There are several ideas discussed in this thread but I still think the best thing is just to eliminate the movement in OL. If we got some disabled people to shoot because of it that would be growing the sport.
Eliminating the movement doesn't add any work to you (and me) who help set up matches.
-
I wouldn't mind having more stages, but that's another can of worms.
-
But for what year Christmas? Sorry...couldn't resist a joke.
-
Even after all the discussion about # of seconds for penalty or percentage, etc. The simplest solution is still just to eliminate the movement, IMO. I am 72 but I can still move pretty good , for my age. I am A class with PCCO.
I still believe SC is speed shooting, as the Nat. championship name says. There are other games-USPSA, IDPA- that one can play to test both movement and speed combined.
-
I look at carrying extra mags a little differently than most I guess. I just use two ordinary pouches, from Shooters Connection IIRC, and carry two 17 rd mags. I have never had to draw them in any other circumstance other than a mandatory reload. I have mag extensions on all my mags from Taylor Freelance so I have plenty of rounds for any stage. I just can't see carrying around all that extra weight on my belt all day, or buying any extra pouches for more money.
-
Excuse my ignorance here, but it is the 4 sec penalty for each string isn't it?
Using Moto's numbers as a guide, what about a 5 sec penalty for the stage?
Although I still favor just making it stationary for all.
-
I would bet if you made the penalty 2 seconds (which is what I think actual time to move would be for most people), or even 3, that 99% would just shoot from the middle anyway.
-
I only have a problem (to level the field for everyone) with Outer Limits. It's the only oddball in all the other speed shooting stages. It is a movement stage, and unnecessary. After all, the national championship is The World SPEED SHOOTING Championships--my emphasis. Maybe it should be named something like the world tactical speed shooting championship.
-
For rifles, everyone seems to want lighter and lighter. But for me when I've handled a lighter (very light) unit I find it hard to stop without overrunning a plate. Everyone needs to find the happy medium that works for them, but that is easier said than done.

Yep--revenue. I bet soon after several guns get out to the public you'll see all the factory type shooters exclaim how much better their gun shoots with xyz locking piece.
