USPSA at ACC Sunday 8/22

Or shooting with the wrong hand...

I hope you are big enough to handle that extra recoil.

My grinder is ready to go... but alas I am currently out of beer.

There are a few tragic moments in life. This is one of them.

I have plenty of whiskey, but not the "balls" to do what I want to the slide.

I put my STI Trubor under a drill press... that made me sweat...
not a pro job, but I've put ~25k on it since... I recall beer was involved.

IF I still had access to a mill, I would actually be very confident doing what I want done. It would take me a bit of time to relearn some old skills, but I could do it.

However, a clearer head, and the fact there is a local gentlemen with excellent skills and equipment, I think I will let him do it.

Coach and I did some work to Jakes STI Trojan not long ago. We actually held off on the beer at the begining because the bench grinder wheel was fairly egged shaped. But after Coach started grinding, and took full responisibilty of any work, I quickly went for the Bud Light.

[Coach]

We did a world of good for that Trojan.

 

[Josh Ward]

Out of beer??? Does not compute.......

 

[HICKMAN]

pics?

 

[HICKMAN]

Zero'd a stage.................and shooting minor PF.........it is almost like shooting myself in the foot before the match even started!!!!

New slide and barrel showed up today, after some work on the slide by a qualified gunsmith my days of shooting minor PF will come to an end.

Engineering fluid

 

[BillD]

I shot a 67% classifier. That's above my current ranking....so that's a good thing.

 

[rvb]

Bill, I thought I remembered you cursing a mike? Did you catch the perf?

-rvb

 

[BillD]

No, by the time we got to that stage there were a ton of pasters on the head and I just didn't see the hit because of all the paster crap.

but you were right, I did get a little emotional...

 

[JDubb]

was the pasters on a double roll? if so how did they work guys?

 

[HICKMAN]

They are talking about a stage where a target was covered mostly by a no-shoot, leaving really just a head shot.

So by the time the last couple of groups got there, there wasn't much cardboard left to shoot at.


Being that I shot that stage first, I had nothing but cardboard... until we got to the classifier, which was all pasters...

 

[KMan]

That was the Open House stage, I believe... I put one in the no shoot so the brown part didn't get so torn up...

 

[JDubb]

ok thanks Kman! Just trying to get all the feedback from these as possible!!!!!!!!! There is room to change/modify these if needed!

 

[mongo404]

We did not use those pasters at least my group did not. I would like to get them out and use them if possible. This was a fun match 2 long 2 med and 2 short courses what more do you want? good job

 

[HICKMAN]

And now for some HD goodness.

Double click on the movie to watch on youtube (so it goes widescreen), click on 1080p.

You might have to pause it a bit to let it stream before watching, this one movie was over 1 GIGABYTE to upload, lol.
