5/22 Old Bridge First USPSA Match

Recommended Posts

just want to say what an awesome time i had. it was my first match and my goal was to be safe have fun and complete the entire course with out DQ'ing. i can say i achieved all three and can now say i am hooked. 

Vlad gave a great intro to the first timers and during my safety check ensured everyone knew i was new and to lend a hand. And lend a hand they did. I just want to thank everyone on squad 5 for guiding me through and helping me understand the courses and look out for some of the gotchas while remaining safe and having fun. you guys have an amazing skill that i hope to reach one day. I must admit it was a bit daunting watching some of you run and gun so fast and smooth as well as be able to see the course differently than another shooter and shave off even more time.

anyway, just wanted to say thanks again and hope you let me squad up with you again in the future.

 

I also shot a mail to the directors as well.....

 

Oh, side note. i signed up for USPSA membership, and while some people have pending next to their names on the score sheet mine is blank. is that normal? should i contact someone? i did pay the 40 bucks and put Join on the registration...

 

Thanks Again,

Vinnie

    • 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.
