A big to the WSSC boys for a great match today!

Ditto !!
Particular thanks for making the range available for chrono testing, helping me through my whole fitment phobia, and giving us the option to get more practice in. A very nice gesture particularly when you consider that it was added on top of a long days worth of set up - match - tear down and etc..

I second the above sentiments. A great match (again) today. Kudos to all involved, I must have missed out by not staying for the post match festivities.

 

[DustyDawg48]

Always a great time! Wish I could have been able to help out earlier instead of coming in hot and having to head early...but hopefully Big Man and his awesome pasting job helped make up for that!

Scores are up! Looks like Mike and David are ready for SellersbergGood shooting all!


What happened to everyone on the "Save the Hero" and "Box Drill Standard" stages? Can't believe a wheelgunner ran away with those

 

[DustyDawg48]

LOL

for me, I can't believe how well I've managed to mesh with that 9mm. If you'd have told me 6 months ago that I would be having success in a division with a gun that I had only just purchased I'd have recommended you for the looney bin. I'd say the gun and the new sights agree with me...now to see if I can squash the nerves and just have a solid match and not do anything to hurt myself in he end.

Shot my first XD....and then another one- thanks David and other dude (those XD's don't autoforward in case you've ever wondered)

You're running well with it! I really think once we're on the range and you get a course down the nerves will settle.

Gotta say, I enjoyed running a little bottom feeder today. One gent was nice enough to let me run his XD40 on the steel stage, and I ran it in 5.78 (of course, I choked when it wouldn't autoforward for me, serious design flaw in the XDs). So, I guess the time as actually 10.78 for -10 on the last mover I was just happy I hit the reload without turning the gun upside down.

I've got three majors left this year and two SO commitments in Lexington and Wilmore. I might just bring out the 9mm for those SO matches. Starting on it seriously is going to be starting all over for me, but it's kind of like putting training wheels on after running ESR and I'll be happy to make this hobby less like a job for a bit

Mike, was going through photos from today and one thing that stood out to me immediately was how fast the slide on your G34 cycles. The shell is barely ejected & the slide is already back in battery. Other guns captured didn't seem to be cycling nearly as fast. Pretty cool

Check out that recoil control! And see how quickly the slide is back in battery, the shell has just been ejected

That is the way DD reloads, sometimes the brass is dribbling so slow that it is still coming down after you are done pasting.
(I.E. us losers at least get to be snipey )

Really cool photos and good scores fellows!!

Brass? Recoil Control?? I don't know what ya'll are seeing in this pic. All I see is a very sporty looking vest!

man, that is so cool that you brought out you gear and shot pictures! Not every day you can say you went to a match and shot everybody there!

I wonder if the quick cycle is due in part to the new Gen4 dual- recoil spring...and the other part due to the snazzy vest

LOL, definitely the vest, I had not factored that i nto the equation!

 

[looney2ns]

I hope someone got a pic of Grelber's snazzy.....er uh, vest!
There must be a good will store for shooting wear somewhere!

Great match WSSC!!

 

[sbcman]

Yep, a sweet vest makes all the difference

I hope someone got a pic of Grelber's snazzy.....er uh, vest!

I'm just glad he was wearing pants. With recent thread posts, I was concerned.

Unfortunately I am thinking it is a matter of 'when' and not 'if' he will show up sans-pants

 

[Grelber]

Yep, a sweet vest

My thought as well.

This is what the range at Sellersbergh looks like.
Couple neat things, when you upload to Utube you lose a lot of video quality, else it is amazing how clear basic cell phone recordings look when you email them to your home pc, you can slow them down & really break down the details of what you are doing wrong. Maybe old news to everybody else but I was surprised, maybe a really good tool that can be used often and easy.
Other thing, the slide closed with empty round in the air thing appears to be just how things work, saw it on videos whenever I looked for it.

Good vid and info. I've thought about bringing out the video recorder but haven't wanted it bad enough to add it into the bag. Probably should.

Or, I guess I could come into the modern age and get a cellphone that can record stuff.
