Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. Hopefully outdoor not indoor range . If indoors, i suggest wearing a mask . good luck!
  2. Some may argue that all you need is some sunlight and your vit D level will be just fine. However, in the past 10 years or so, there were a lot of studies that sunlight is not enough. In fact, a few studies were done in people who were exposed to sunlight more than 8 hours a day but their VitD levels werestill low. Low Vit D levels have been linked to cardiovascular diseases and autoimmune disorders. Certainly wont hurt to asked your PCP to check your levels during an annual exam.
  3. Also use the “search” function as you will learn a lot from this forum…
  4. When i started shooting USPSA, i was young, single, no mortgage, no car payments and living at home! I bought an open, limited, SS and Production gun to try all different division. If i can do over, I’d take Cjmill87 advice to stick with one platform and shoot it for a long time.
  5. I like my G34. Been shooting it since 2004. I only changed the recoil spring once (probably 20k round count) and thats it. Clean it, lube it and 100% reliable….
  6. Sorry one more suggestion. The next 7 days will be the most crucial point as infection is the number 1 complication of portacath. Keep it clean and follow your discharge instructions. If you need more info, please PM me.
  7. Best wishes to you. Would have suggested right chest as well. Believe it or not, right side is the optimal location as it a straight shot to your superior vena cava (no pun intended) will less likely to migrate or kink. Good luck with treatments.
  8. All cleaners mentioned above works but I have been using Dunk Kit from C&S and have not looked back....
  9. A lot of good information on this topic especially I have been on a 10 year+ vacation (daddy duties). Glad to be back! when I started shooting competitive back in 2000, Open guns got me in the sport! In less than 3 months after the novelty wore off, I quick realized how expensive to shoot open! Then there's Limited, still great looking guns, shoot major and still have over 15 rounds in the mag. Not as expensive to shoot and 40 brass were in abundance. It also helped when I watched Travis Tomasie's reloading (magazine) video. It was a perfect storm for me to switch as I can practice my reloads as opposed to one to zero reload using Open. I enjoyed limited for a while but the best part of USPSA was that you can compete in so many division? Loved shooting SS back when it was at PASA, 300+ competitors shooting one division! it was fun. When i didn't have time to reload, I went to walmart and bought 9mm and then shot Production. I understand that by having so many divisions, the competition may be getting watered down. However, I believed we need to get more people into the sport. Whether from CO, LO , Limited, Production (back then, a lot of new shooters entered Production as it did not break the bank). With the cost of pretty much everything up through the roof, I may only afford to shoot .22 if that! Heck, just to be back shooting is the coolest thing!
  10. Onelap, I was going to create a post "back after 15 years" but I cannot override 30 years! Welcome back. I am so glad to be back lurking after 15 years! I should not be surprised that everything is so expensive but I cannot fathom buying 1k of primers for $100 and that's if its available! I used to shoot factory ammo for Production division but that's because I was able to buy 100 rounds of Winchester at Wally World for $20! Thank God I still have a couple of thousands of primers and Montana gold bullets(not for sale LOL). Back then I was complaining that a sleeve of primers was over $85! Also sad to see most of my shooting equipment are considered "first generation" (STI mags, Tripp mags, safariland belt and mag pouches and I even have the first gen limcat holster and what happened to STI? All I can say is that I am happy to be back and interested to see the new "stuff" i.e. MBX mags, limited guns in 9mm caliber, other production guns other than my G34. I just have to accept that I will be spending more than triple compared to 15 years ago...
  11. Echo valerko, i live in Illinois. I stopped reloading for nearly 15 years. Kept primers in my garage safe with only dehumidifiers rod. Reloaded about 100 rounds last week thinking it may not fire. Also used an open N320 (not sealed but cap was on). Surprisingly, all 100 rounds fired without issues…will test another 100 rounds this weekend…
