  1. I've been around long enough to know he builds great competition guns, but if you need service closer to home there is a guy in SW Minnesota the builds Sherwyn and Nick Greenfields blasters. They are pretty happy with his work. My builder is 126 miles away but drivable when I need something bad

  2. Don't really have a problem loading 170mm mags from the belt, but can reload 140mm mags faster. For anything but the carnival stages all you need is one 170mm and a few 140mm mags. It is just a personal choice.

    Just a little sidenote here - Personally, I remember when the 170mm mags came into the game and wasn't a fan of the decision. So, sometimes I wonder why we have 170mm mags. :sight:

    Yes.

  3. Electronic and print mags reach different audiences. I am not a marketing guy but here is my take:

    1. If you send it in electronic form you save lots of money but you will never be able to use it as a marketing tool since only members will see it. If you allow non members to see it you take away a benefit of membership.

    2. Not all members even have email which means we stil have to publish and if we publish less copies, our per copy cost increases.

    3. Advertising dollars are spent in print mags because they reach more than just those who subscribe or members. I pass mine on to folks that might join and shooters will look at the magazine in offices and gun shops so the idea is that for every magazine published, it is seen by say 2 people making the scope wider.

    4. About 10 years ago USPSA published IN TOUCH that was 4 pages with little or no ads and mailed to members. If USPSA would send IN TOUCH in an electronic form they could increase membership communication, add advertising revenue and do so for almost free. T he only real cost would be salaries of the staff but we have to pay them anyway.

    The BOD kicked around some options while I was on the BOD so I would encourage anyone who has ideas to pass them to your AD.

    I forgot about In Touch! It was great! miss it again!
