Don't forget to address the root cause of the screw coming out in the first place. It is possible the front site needs to be shorter so the screw is not backed out so far.

If he suffered no injuries at that distance with a rifle, he should play the lotto while his luck is still good. 15ft(5 yards) with a rifle = retarded.

You could always just call DP.

Using barrels as vision barriers when hit can allow a bullet to enter, spin around, and come back out of another hole in any direction. I'm sure you have heard the buzzing noise at times when a barrel is shot. Most times the bullet will not escape, but if it does it can still be at a high velocity.

.010 = ten thousands, not a hundreth Sorry...........someone had to do it Then how many thousandths are equal to a hundredth?

If it was enough contact for him to notice it then it was in his head during the course of fire. Which is a distraction and possibly caused the brain fart during the second string. I think a reshoot was the correct call.

Sorry, I thought the only difference for level I was this. US1.1.5.1 Level I matches are not required to comply strictly with the freestyle requirements or round count limitations. And for your fix for Level II and higher, I don't think you can mix Classic and Metric targets in the same stage. 4.2.1 There are two types of paper targets approved for use in IPSC Handgun matches (see Appendix B ). These types must not be included together in any stage. My point in this discusion is not to get under anyones skin, but to answer the question " Is there a written standard foer this for a USPSA match?", and to voice that in my opinion clubs that run USPSA matches (whether they be 3-gun or pistol) should adhere to the USPSA rule book when designing stages.

So in a USPSA stage written as such how would you score a target that has only 3 hits in the lower A zone. And please quote the USPSA rule that supports such scoring.

Scott R, I am not familiar with IMPACT. Is this the first match of the season for you guys or is this the first match period for IMPACT? How do I attend the match? Do I just show up? Impact IPSC shut down several months ago and we are restarting the clubs operations. Currently we are trying to work out scheduling conflicts with other operations at the range in order to have 5 bays available. At this point we are not certain that there will be a match every month, so be sure to monitor the TSS website.

USPSA rules don't support scoring different zones on a target as seperate targets. In other words if the course description requires 3 hits to the targets then the best 3 hits per target are scored.

Impact IPSC WILL NOT have a June match. Due to a scheduling conflict with the range all 5 bays were not available. We plan on having our first match July 9th. Please keep an eye on the Texas South Section website http://www.texassouthsection.com/ for details.

I googled "powder burn rate chart" and after looking at several charts it appears that there is about a 60% chance that Tight Group is slightly faster than WST . Obviously there is not a standardized test for powder burn rate.

Myself and one of my shooting buddies have been using WST in .40 for a while now for all the reasons you mentioned. I tried Tight Group for a while but went back to WST (no difference in feel but WST fills the case more).

Sharyn, I might be able to make the next ice cream and cobbler feast, but only if you promise not to put me in a thong.

Thanks for welcoming me to the forums. Mike, take it easy with the Harley jokes, you know I'm the sensitive type. Hey I've got a cool bike pic for the avatar if I can find a way to get the file small enough.
