May have over tightened the set screws.

Load OAL 1.175. In my 9mm no spacers needed to function with STI or SV mags. Heavy or light slides/guns/springs are shooter specific. If you like snappy or pushy, you can tune your gun to that with weight, powder and springs. Then do timing drills and shoot what you have. I would not cut it. But then I like a pushy gun.

After reading the post. I am lucky to live in Arizona, near Phoenix.Our Clubs use all types of props. Ports, swingers, stars, cars, helos, etc. Each match you may have long ranges standards, prone positions, run and gun, lots of no shoots, etc. I am amazed at what they put us through.Never the same. I will say most of the prone positions are set up to be the last position of a stage.

In the first video, each time you fire your body rocks back. This means your base is not solid. It takes more time for the sights to return to target= slower follow up shot and less accurracy. Get some of the training videos, watch them. Then get your fundamentals down through dry fire. This sport is about sacrificeing accurracy for speed to a point. To do that you have to have something to sacrifice. Do some live fire drills where you draw and shoot one shot only. Draw at normal speed then take as much time as needed on the shot. You want to be able to get all you shots in a 4" circle at 15 yards for your level. Then make a smaller circle or move the target out. Quit worrying about split times, at your level there are so many more important things to learn.

In the beginning everyone trys to get that 1 second or less draw. I have a few tips and sugestions. When dry firing pay attention to where your elbows go. Do they go out (like chicken wings) or straight back? When you go for the pistol, start slow and try to keep both elbows moving straight to the rear in line with where you will present the pistol (i.e. straight away from and to the target). Less movment equals smoother and faster draws. When live firing at practice do this. Warm up then do what you feel is your lightening draw. Check your time.Do several for a baseline. Then draw in a smooth presise manner, not rushing or forceing it. just smooth medium speed to your "fast draw". Keep the target at 7 yards or so and only A hits will count for time. Keep those elbows in line to the target and pay attention. Let us know how it works. When you surrender draw find a spot you like for your hands to be that you can repeat (i.e. touch your ears or glasses, bill of your cap) just so it is repeatable. then do the above drill from surrender (elbows in and staight back and foward, same as before).

As I understand it. The advantage of 38 supercomp over 38 super has to do more with magizine capacity and reliability.

Did Angus do this (less the bullet) in one of the GM dvd's? Just make all loads come from the belt in the stage descriptions. That is how they do it at our matches. Gaming is why I shoot uspsa and not idpa. .20 save on the start is not going to win a match or most stages unless you are M or GM. IMHO It looks good to me if they allow the mags on the table, barrel, etc. I would use an unloaded round though. (Murphy's law)

A lot of really good shooters use them. I used one. Then I went to the gangster mount for my c-more. There is no room for a T-rest. I found my dot tracking more consistant without it. Better indexing was also part of my result. I must have been pushing the gun around with the extra grip pressures I use during shooting a stage. Also many think with a T-rest they can "control" recoil and end up with inconsitant gun movement/dot tracking. I think it is something each shooter will have to find out for themselves.

Weather has finally cooled down. (somewhat) It was only 80 today.

Tension in you and your grip creates erratic recoil and other things. Think, were you relaxed before and during the good stage? Did you do a better than usual visualization for this stage? If you run a stage on auto pilot, you will be able to notice more while shooting. You will know these stages as time will seem to slow down. When you run a stage like that, take some extra time after to remember everything you did, felt saw, etc. relish it and repeat it. When you practice put six rounds into a berm as fast as you can while gripping the gun hard. Then do it again while using a medium grip, then a mild grip. Focus on what the sights are doing with the different grips.Do this drill from a draw as some cannot overcome tension from a high ready position.

Ahhh, tales of the chrono. So many variables, any one of which can produce a different result. I have been re-loading rifle and pistol for many years. Shooting out to 1000 yards. (rifle) If you and your dad are new to loading or using a chrono, the results were average. Learn from your experience and overcome. There is lots of info on this forum and the net. Study time.

like our system of justice in america. The USPSA classifier system is not perfect but it is the best we have. Most people shoot club stages well then crash on the classifier. Mostly trying to shoot it above their skill level. Many shoot classifiers multiple times till they get the score they want i.e. paper A,M,GM comes into play. I was called a "bagger" from C to M and shoot mostly at a high A level consistantly now. I am classified a Master. I only shoot the classifiers once. Even with that I shot good enough to make master on a few of them. The old saying even a blind squirel finds a nut every now and then comes to mind. Just shoot the best you can and let the people you are beating worry about your class. Some would even say I have NO CLASS. Sorry about that.

OK back to the topic.

You are right Ron. Saul's book "Thinking Practical Shooting" should be in any competitive shooters library.

I seem to remember this one. I have not done it for a while, I will do it again and see if I have improved. Thanks benos
