    I'm afraid I will have to skip this and all future USPSA matches since I might develop some bad habits there...

    Just kidding. I will be there. My ammo situation is not looking as good as I thought it was, so I may have to order some Montana Gold bullets and *gasp* actually use my Square Deal B... or I might not be shooting South Central.

    I hope you don't strain yourself on this reloading venture!:D


    On the other hand let's all show up and develops some habits that will likely get us killed if the shooting ever really happens on the street. Perhaps we could all pledge to shoot slower, hit less and spend time puttng half loaded magazines into pockets. We could wear nothing but black clothing and stand around and talk about how easily we could disarm people at half speed. (rant is over):)

    It was in better repair last time I used it. But that was several months ago. As I understand it the tear down crew really tore it down. Come to the open house you will see parts of it in the weanie roast fire.

    Thanks for coming and the compliments. We have a good crew at ACC and we hope to get better as we go.

    Great match, I liked the difficulty of some of the shots. Good mix of run-and-gun and accuracy. I took the "shoot slower" suggestion seriously when a primer came out and prevented my gun from going back into battery. 40+ second run on a 24 round stage. That'll get me killed! :)

    We took some video with Jake's camera. I don't know when he will have it ready.

    First time I ever had a shooter blowing into the chamber of his pistol. It was the above mentioned primer. You did not mention the 6 or 7 times your XD failed going into battery. Shooting the gun dry at the worst of moments due to tap and rack for the failure to go in to battery. You stayed with it and finished.

    Enjoyed shooting with you.
