alec.mc 180 Posted August 12, 2012 I miss like it's my part time job. good to get a starting point though. I think something is wrong with my rear sights though, maybe pizza bob can take a look! :girlwacko: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,489 Posted August 12, 2012 Alec: If you have cranked you windage screw too far, the screw that it travels on may have broken. Look on you tube about replacing the rear sight blade and you'll understand what I'm talking about. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M4BGRINGO 139 Posted August 12, 2012 No, she doesn't do run and gun, just stands-still and shoots steel. If I'm lucky she will make me some food to bring though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look on you tube about replacing the rear sight blade and you'll understand what I'm talking about. Adios, Pizza Bob Bob, I think it has something to do with my elevation screw. My front sight was replaced with a SDM fiber optic, and I needed to raise my rear sight to get it sighted in remotely close. But I just noticed that my rear sight is " Floating " the elevation screw is not touching a thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,489 Posted August 12, 2012 The elevation screw goes into a threaded plate that fits into a track milled into the frame under the rear sight base. The track keeps it from turning and the leaf-spring action of the sight is what causes it to rise against the elevation screw. If you have backed the elevation screw out too far, it will have come out of the plate, meaning you have run out of elevation adjustment. Was the new FO front sight the same height as the OE blade you removed? If this is what has happened, you need a shorter front sight and you may need to remove the rear sight, slide the plate out and start it on the elevation screw and then slip the plate into the track while reinstalling the rear sight as an assembly. I'll see you there - maybe before you get a chance to read this. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notmetoo 41 Posted August 12, 2012 Beautiful day today! Good luck everyone, hope you move up a classification (and clear out D for me ) Wish I could be there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SW9racer 262 Posted August 12, 2012 As always a great time. Very low turnout, I think about 35 people, everyone must have been at the 3 gun in OB. Glad to see everyone again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was idpa 3gun and area 8 this weekend. That and the fact it tends to be horribly hot in august, and we just did the big sectional match last weekend is why we went lightweight with a classifier match.

alec.mc 180 Posted August 13, 2012 Damn it was hot today! Went home pretty crispy. CJ needs to invest in a few tents. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted August 13, 2012 CJ owns lots of tents. What we need to find a few more helpers who want come out a bit early, take out the tents, set them up, and then at the end of the day fold them back up and put them away. Right now given the amount of help we are getting, we don't have the time and man power for it. Are you volunteering? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We actually did get there early and helped setup, and then tore down our stages at the end. We would of gotten tents if we knew about them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted August 13, 2012 Next time, second from the far left container, the one with the golf carts in it, on the left side all the way in the back. There are about 10-12 folding tents, just please don't leave them for us to fold at the end of the day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't have any serious tie dons for them to the best of my knowledge. From past experience, that an get real expensive for a club/match REAL fast., and it might be your car that makes it expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M4BGRINGO 139 Posted August 13, 2012 He was with us Harry. There were three Mikes, he was one of them. The other one, Mike G shot really good, I brought-up the rear! Next time I go to CJ I bring a chair like Harrys! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian B 2 Posted August 13, 2012 I guess no one remembers that I was there I had a lot of fun shooting with you guys. Mickey, Just download a USPSA rule book and follow the procedures for ROing and get familiar with the rules. Ask if you can run the timer and give whoever is doing it a break. Once you start to get more knowledgable about the rules it seems to make everyone not only a better shooter but also a safer shooter. It only sucks when you have to DQ someone, but they do it to themselves and learn something from it. Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msg73 1 Posted August 14, 2012 Too bad we didn't have enough RO's to run 2 guns. Would have been nice to get classified in 2 divisions in one day. It was great meeting you guys...made it much more enjoyable. The most important thing I learned was to get one of those chairs with the sun shade like Harry's.

M4BGRINGO 139 Posted August 14, 2012 Thanks for RO'ing Brian, usually Harry, Nick, and Alec get stuck doing it for us at OB, they were looking for a day-off. Mr. Futey also RO's at OB for us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
