New Member writes expository prose

[DeltaGray]

1)  I am new to this forum.  I purchased a Brian Enos book years ago.  

2)  I sometimes write on a CZ forum but an active duty police officer mentioned "Be", Blue Bullets, equipment parts etc.

3)  I saw a post from Wolfmetalfab (maybe from Mt. Airy, MD).  I have been to Mt. Airy many times.  My former grandmother's farm later became a winery in Mt. Airy, MD.

4) I have never done IDPA or other but have done Team Challenge years ago (2000, 2001) that took four guns to compete and I was a RO one year.  I got to meet or see some of the "big boys" (Jerry, Bruce, et al).  

5) The Brian Enos forum content is very interesting.  I read about eye dominance, eye glass correction (such as to see front sight), 9mm projectile weights and powder "guesses".  I used to cast lead (Pb with other ingredients) but I lent out my H&G brand moulds (or molds) and other along with a Star lube/sizer with a .452 size die for .45 ACP.  Some days, filling cases and helping people is almost as fun as unloading brass cases.  Oh, I load shotgun shells.

6) I am an instructor of different types but not certified in pistol.  I teach hunter education (since 2000) and I am a sporting clay's NSCA (National Sporting Clays Association) Level 1 certified instructor (2001) and also a referee.  I did not mention that I am or was an "old" trap shooter.  

Be safe!

I presume you're shooting a CZ?   Which one?

 

Doing any competitive shooting, these days?

[DeltaGray]

Hi-Power Jack: 

1) I do have a CZ P-09 in 9mm.  I did not have to change the fixed sights!!  Initial hits were where I aimed at close range with arms resting on a range bag.

I don't have any good holsters for semi's.  I like the CZ guys (Dave and Rich). I was in a class with Dave Miller and we did some sporting clay breaking.  I ordered a CZ pump via Rich who knows about the OLD Dan Wesson revolvers.

2) My most newer tool is a Springfield .45 ACP XDM 5.25 competition. That one has an adjustable rear sight but I have not turned the screws.   I plan to run the CZ P-09 and the XDM 5.25 in stock mode at least for now.  I don't run and gun, so to speak, but I can appreciate a nominal 3.5 pound pull on a Colt .45 and a 2 ounce Jewel trigger on a Remington 40XBR is okay for a bench tool. 

3) Regarding you Q to me about competition shooting, I have not yet done IDPA or other.  I am avoiding hot sun rays but I sometimes pistol practice but I like to get outside to unload cases so I get some other Dillon 550 exercise (but only in .45 ACP, 9mm, 40 S&W, 38 Special).  My backup press is a RCBS for .45 Auto RIm cases rifle calibers and Contender calibers not mentioned.

Jumprun13K, thanks.  I never tell all that I know (as I told a subset of women on my former staff) so I have something else to say; however, my staff found out that I listened. I used to be a very serious introvert.  I did not have to speak many years ago when I was invited to play TAPS for a ceremony in Gettysburg, PA.

Welcome to the forums.  It's always nice to see another sporting clays shooter join here.  

 

What shotgun(s) do you use?  I had a DT 10 and Blaser F3 but didn't shoot them better than my Browning 725 SC, so I sold the others and bought more pistols!

I am liking this "BE" Forum.  I only know the Hurst, TX name mainly because the Hurst part of HEB municipal bonds (where HEB) are first letters of three cities).  An Austin policeman told me (reminded me) about the forum.
