Sept 14th, CJ 2-Gun match (shotgun/pistol)

Recommended Posts

Thanx guys, glad you had fun.

 

Bad news is that the results are likely to be delayed a week or so, logistics and other schedules are going to get in the way. Sorry,

(Jeopardy theme)

Duhm duhm duhm duhm. Duhm duhm duhm. Duhm duhm. Duhm. Duhm. Duht, Dut dut dut dut daa.

 

Just kidding Vlad!

Side note Vlad, how was FNH?

 

Exhausting, hard, I think it broke my shotgun and I know it broke one of our NJ shooters leg (in multiple places).

 

Lessons I learned:

 

Easy stages are a mind game. If you forget to respect them they own your ass to the price of 90sec of penalties

Never shoot long range ammo that forces you to do lots of math in your head. A less accurate but more predictable load beats a more accurate but harder to calculate load. Learned that one with a timed out stage with 60sec worth of misses

"That combination of parts should work, I'll just change that configuration right before a major match" is a very dumb thing, specially when you KNOW it is a dumb thing and you do it anyway.

3gun shooters have gotten REALLY whinny lately. I never see so much bitching and moaning in a 3gun match before. 

 

Also loads of fun.

How did that happen and to who?

Well I'm not going to put people's names out here in public, but it happened when being way to aggressive with a 45 degree slide from the top of a conex to the very hard ground. There were actually two broken legs on that stage over the course of the match.

 

 

You can just PM it to us.

2 broken legs!

 

Good Lord.  That must have been some stage.

 

It was. This isn't the best video of it or the best performance, but it the best for describing the stage. The conex is 9ft tall the ramp is at 45 degrees, the ground is hard. If you didn't slow yourself down, you would really know you landed.

I'm not unhappy.

 

I'd never done it. Don't have any of the "right" equipment.

 

It was fun.

When I found out about it in May or June I started researching and ordered a load 2 system and a quad load system just for the matches this month.

 

I ordered both in case I was not able to do the quads.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
