Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. Visually checked as they move around the shell plate, final check when every thing goes through the hundo case gauge, 70,000+ with no issues. Anything short of a crack or wrong caliber has been good to go for me.
  2. Working for a small organization, I wear a few hats in my job, by choice mind you. I like doing a bunch of different things and found a good work flow to accomplish my tasks effectively and often well before the end of my shift; and have done so for 3 years . I was promised a decent and much needed raise at the end of the 2023 however some unexpected slow downs curbed that. One of my duties involves preparing the financial reports, so I knew first hand the raise wasn't going to happen and I was ok with it, figuring in a few months things would get back to normal and we would recover. In the mean time I have noticed some of my duties being reduced and now we have 2 new full time hires and an outside consultant. None of which we can afford. Last Friday I asked the Director if there was room in the budget for my raise(since we can apparently hire people), but was told I would have to wait until at least this summer. I got to work this morning and was then told due to a schedule change I have the day off... I guess showing data indicating that we need to rethink our operational model to stay in business wasn't a great idea.
  3. I went 5 years or so shooting 6-8 matches a month and a ton of time in practice between them. Post covid ammo/gas prices and just general burnout I slowed down a lot. I don't enjoy shooting anymore, but I like going to matches. Now it's maybe 2-3 a month if I even feel like going that weekend. I am still competitive in locals, I still enjoy the game, but if I found something new tomorrow I'd be out.
  4. That's the NY2 setup, that makes it into a 12lb pull if I remember correctly
  5. I guess I am on the fence about it. I don't shoot majors that often to begin with and I am starting to feel like I need to take a year off the sport to refresh and reevaluate my interest. I do like having an "official" way to track my progress in the sport via the classifiers (which are not perfect) and locking in what I have achieved so it's there when I am ready again, does have some meaning to me.
  6. Watching Jim and Shooting USA as a teenager is where I learned about IDPA, USPSA, and much of my early firearm information. If a TV personality has ever affected my life, it was Jim Scoutten. I am truly saddened to hear of his passing.
  7. unloaded I am at 50 oz with my Shadow 2 with SSi 4.0s with the tungsten inserts, 53oz with a empty mag. I have put a TLR 1 one just for laughs and can get to around 58oz with it. I go back and forth with taking the inserts out, the thing is borderline too heavy for me
  8. Work culture + ban state I know one guy(medical profession) where his (former) company's HR team dug up a FB picture of him at a rifle class and they fired him on the spot because it "does not represent our family values" Yes our sport is public and it's a risk that some people chose to take, but taking some personal security measures is not a bad thing.
  9. For those of us who know how, yes. I have ID'ed "anonymous" people from their youtube videos in under 10 minutes, but if you don't know practiscore or have a USPSA membership it's tougher. We have a few people working in sensitive areas who would be at risk of losing their job (and some have) if their name/picture/video were to show up in social media in relation to a firearm.
  10. IDPA Long form classifier ESP SS, match bump to expert 3 days later (2018) ESP Master (2019) SSP Master (2023) Both are match bumps from the 1 match a year I still shoot USPSA Production Master (2021) First division, started off the rip at A in 2019) Single Stack Master (2022) only shot 1 match and it was a classifier match with all 20 or newer) Limited Master (2023) GSSF Master(2018)
  11. Leave them on the range and let the club member ship shoot them until there's nothing left. That's what happens to ours.
  12. Yes It's kinda regional. according to the activity results it's the second most shot division. I just don't know where https://www.reddit.com/r/USPSA/comments/xde0si/breakdown_of_uspsa_activity_in_2022/ I shoot either Limited or Production, but seldom see more than 10 others in a match and even that many is rare.
  13. This is a weird one, it seems you can do ok with 1 penalty in some divisions I shot it last year in Limited with a line break no-shoot and some deltas: 110 pts 23.39 seconds 4.2753 HF 85.9% Last weekend it was a mike(WHO on the far right array) and some deltas but slightly faster than before 104 pts 20.97 seconds 4.4826HF 90% Ended up making Limited Master by a margin of 0.2% because of this one!
  14. 100% If I lose any of my PPE I am stopping regardless of the RO's call. If I get a reshoot, fine. If not, a bad stage is better than a permanent disfiguring injury/hurting someone else.
  15. From what I understand most of the issues where solvable with some spring changes and very specific ammo. Somewhere on PF is a very long thread from a SME LEO about problems with issuing the G22s and G23s on a large scale. edit: found the link, page 5 has the post that I was specifically referring to, but the whole thing is interesting if you are into that. https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?13852-40-S-amp-W-and-Glocks
