The Official Redbrush/WSSC IDPA Thread

[DustyDawg48]

I don't think I've seen a shooter shoot stage three in any raw time that wouldn't make MA. I mean, in any division we're talking 13, 14 and 5- easily doable by just about anybody. It doesn't mean a shooter can see what they need to see that quickly, and that is more important on stage 3 in my opinion.

My main thought from that was me actually being able to see the why and how of what I was doing right and wrong. Aside from the classifier earlier in the year every other classifier was a marathon to get through and by the end I just wanted to get through it and wasn't able to take anything away from it to use for the next time. The WSSC primer actually gave me a chance to just be a shooter and get nearly instant feedback from the score so for once I can go into a classifier with more of an actual game plan than just a go fast plan.

Berry's has bullets again. As of 5am July 17th, they have 45 230gr, 40 180gr, 9mm 115gr and 9mm 124gr. You must go to the "Available Bullets" section.
Happy reloading

Finally! Here is to hoping that the crazy has come to an end.

I need some help on powder for reloading 9mm and 45acp. If you could share with me what powder you find best for accuracy in IDPA competition I would appreciate it. I'm shooting 9mm in pistol and 45acp in revolver.

Thanks

 

[Exodus]

I think any powder that is recommened will do just fine for idpa IMHO. Just test your loads and see where the sweet spot is for that setup.

 

[DustyDawg48]

Most popular powder is probably Titegroup due to it's mild recoil. I have been using Unique for a long time with very good results.

"A competitor from Michigan did fall and badly break his leg. Please keep this shooter in your thoughts and prayers. He is on tough dude, but has a surgery and long rehab ahead."

From the "On a mission from God" thread. Uspsa match near Terra Haute.

Eeek.

 

[DustyDawg48]

Yikes! Always concerned about a possible GSW but there is always the chance of any time of injury when you get outside. Here is to a speedy and complete recovery.

 

[Grelber]

Using decimal points could get you killed.

(Remember this if you are doing the s.o. computer exam, it is a 100 question pain in the arse. You can write something like "I love Mickey Mouse" instead of your initials in the code of conduct sign off at the front of things if you are persnickety.)

 

[DustyDawg48]

HA! Did you take it yet? I thought I heard something about trying to coordinate RB and WSSC and get all the SO's together and take it...or something to that effect.

Didn't hear about a group thing. Passed it on round 1 but just barely, there are several TJ skill level detail questions and I hadn't read the thing since it came out, may get unpassed if anyone ever reads the code of conduct thing at the start of it.

 

[DustyDawg48]

That would be a good way to get out of having to work shoots I don't know how 'official' the group thing is/was, just something I thought I overheard when the discussion of testing came up. Not sure if it died on the vine or what.

Interesting. I would have guessed an entirely different set of initials you would have used on that line

Really am trying to clean up my act. Not hard to do on a typed form but I'm struggling with expletive control after a major match mess up (I blame it on watching Tiger Woods on tv too many times).
If you ever misplace a lady or a child at a match, the best way to find them is to say something you shouldn't and then turn around. Works with farts too.

 

[DustyDawg48]

Using swear words just shows that you care LOL So anybody can take it at any time and that is it then? How many chances to do you get and does it cost anyone anything?

 

[sbcman]

You should have got an email on it, but yeah, just take it and you'll be good to go. As to cost, just write a check for $15 out to me. I think you get two tries, then it's back to school and no pudding unless you eat your meat.

 

[DustyDawg48]

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

I knew you'd pick up what I was putting down

Southern man don't need him round.

Speaking of which, when do they post the cof for the summer sizzler?

Sweet home..

Look for the COFs to come up about at the end of this week or the beginning of next. I asked Kurt when the shooter's list would come out and he said a week before the match, so I figure it will all come out at the same time.
