I primarily shoot open. I only switch back to irons for a change. Last month I shot Limited for the first time in quite a while. I hadn't practiced with that gun or even dryfired it before the match. The first stage was very enlightening with the recoil impulse almost a surprise during every shot. It seemed to take forever for the sight to drop back n the slot. After that stage everything seemed to be ok even though my speed wasn't where it should have been.

My practice area is 6 miles but the outdoor matches I can shoot are all 1-1 1/2 hour drives each way. The company is always good though !

After reading both threads, it looks like a new technique for me to practice..........

I've shot dozens of rounds after my wife washed them in the washing machine and they all have gone bang.....

John, do not fear, probation only leaves a mark on the few that have been a frequent vistor. Welcome to my house.

It is funny that zHunter doesn't even call it "probation" anymore. Just "Boz's house". And it is understood. How does that make you feel , boz1911?
It's my "house" and the door is always open...........

After a while you'll be able to glance up and know exactly how many pulls you have left before the buzzer....

A few thoughts:
That's a good deal on the Kennedy box but sooner or later you'll wish you had some deeper drawers.
Bigger is always better, I recently purchased a large Mac box and already is getting full.
If you work on cars a good roll around cart is very handy, it stops you from walking back and forth every time you need something simple.
Even though they function ok, I'm not a fan of the barbecue grill style of boxes now being sold at the big box stores.
Any extra space on the top of a box will eventually get used to stack sh#t on, never will it be used as workspace.
When it comes to tool boxes and tools for that matter, you get what you pay for.

I hate that my sister-in-law is such a sonovabitch that I lied to one of my brothers about my schedule and turned down an invitation to see go him this weekend.
we are shooting Sunday, right??

Thanks everybody.........any idea on how to get off AARP's mailing list??

Keep in mind that a number of ROs at the Nationals are relatively new. We need new ROs to volunteer and receive the "Nationals Experience". The number of shooters and situations they personally witness significantly add to the expertise they will take back to their home clubs - and to future Nationals where they may someday be CROs.
A good Nationals CRO understands that a big part of his job (beyond running a safe, efficient, and fair stage) is to observe and educate the others on that stage. I observe them do their job fairly closely, only stepping in when necessary, and discuss the finer points after the fact. How else do we develop the level of experience we will need in the future?
Give the new guys a break. They are usually doing the best they can. If they falter occasionally, the process (CRO.. RM.. etc) will work. The shooter only need to be a bit patient and remain calm, as well as polite.
I'm with ya' George, but in all four cases I referred to in post number one, these were either CRO's or very experienced RO's ie: I've seen them at previous Nationals.

Glad you're ok Bart. After getting pelted a half dozen times last year, I was frag-free this year.

What happened on #4 was that the shooter shot the COF, pulled the mag and while doing so saw a target that appeared to have a mike. He then started to move towards the target to engage it with the round still in the chamber. As the shooter moved to engage the RO shouted out "Hey!" causing the shooter to stop moving towards the target.
Reshoot after an inappropriate meltdown by the RO.
So, the competitor didn't holster his gun before walking towards the target with the suspected Mike, as BOZ indicated?
4) I watched an RO lose his cool when a shooter, rather than unload and show clear, holstered his gun and started moving away from the RO. Result: reshoot for RO interference.The gun was holstered as the shooter took several steps away and rearward from the RO. Had the gun not been holstered the RO would have been scrambling to get behind the shooter or at least yelled stop.
So the shooter holstered a hot gun?
Yes, perfectly legal during a COF.

Were these issues brought to the attention of the CRO of the stage or Range Master? People make mistakes, its part of life. All we can do is point out the mistakes to the correct people who can fix the issue and move on.
Yes, except the overlay/scoring issue, Like you guys, he wasn't there to see for himself.

2) Had two hits on a head shot with one being at the edge. The grease ring was damn near or touching the perf. The RO called Bravo-Mike. I immediately asked for an overlay, adding a reminder to please center the scoring ring. The score was changed to two Bravo, but I know for a fact that I or most experienced RO's would not have needed an overlay to score that paticular target. It felt like the RO was testing me???
Which was it - damn near or touching the perf? Sounds to me like the system worked. RO made a call, you questioned it, and after using the overlay the call was changed in your favor.
Yes, the system basically worked, however at the Nationals, you would have thought the RO would have pulled out an overlay without even the shooter requesting it.
Overall I thought the staff was great, and after working five A-6's in a row, I fully understand the hard work involved. That's the reason I never left a stage without shaking every RO's hand and extending my gratitude for their hard work.
-
Locally, we don't have the "close enough" or tie goes to the runner policy. Had the RO pulled out an overlay to start with, I'd been ok with that, but to call a Mike without checking was not appropriate.
No, neither one of us signed the target. Good point.

I don't know what you're putting this basepad on but from experience a 4mm on a 170mm sv tube will not fit the gauge without mag mods, a 3mm fits with ease. Perhaps a useless bit of info ??
