My advice would be to shoot at a steel plate or one of Old Bridge's indoor USPSA matches. In both events you've be supervised in the making ready, draw and clearing process of the firearm, and believe it or not, a lot of DQ's occur at this stage, so it's an important part to learn and learn correctly. Shooting steel is nice because you get used to the aspect of being "run" (supervised) which many aren't used to as well as shooting in a reactive environment (bang....TING!). The indoor match at Old Bridge is a terrific way to be introduced into USPSA because its a much more informal (lower round count/less complicated stages) match but you still get the supervision aspect as well as Vlad's new shooter briefing, which is worth the price of admission on it's own. lol

How as the match? I spent the morning making coffee and pouring said coffee and orange juice for our baseball team's pancake breakfast at Applebee's. Team raised $2,100....

You're a grand master...you knew it was coming. lol I was so fixated on how the make ready command gets "enhanced" that I missed the standby. lol My bad. :embarrassed:

I do that every time, period. Aside from confirming the stage is reset properly (another RO responsibility) then I know the range is clear. My son is a brass whore and so you can understand why. lol

People are supposed to follow range commands. And the ones who are giving the commands are supposed to know what they are. Make Ready. Not load and make ready. Not the line is hot eyes and ears sight picture with an unloaded gun then load and make read. Make Ready. That's it. Are you ready? (shooters lack of response indicates ready) (RO initiates timer and observes shooter during the stage) If finished, unload and show clear. If clear, hammer down, holster. Range is clear. That's it. So simple.

When you do ask them if we can shoot a USPSA event there. That would be cool. Ranges commands for our sport are just those...commands...for our sport. Stop.

I'm sure you aren't the only one who needed to knock the rust off. I shot a steel event two weeks ago and didn't do terrible. Didn't do great either. Hoping for nice, warm, weather, next Sunday, that's warm, and not cold, nor windy, but clam. And warm.

Hey look, Alec won the revolver class.

You were in a good squad...good people.

I wear my waders to shovel snow. True story. And I wore them A LOT this winter. ARGH! I can't take the cold anymore. Was a time when blackfishing in January was normal. Since losing the weight I simply can't take the cold. Getting into a cold car in the morning and my hands don't work right. Might be a tumor...I dunno. I can tolerate the heat much more than the cold. Problem is in July I'm going to be all over the effing country with my son playing baseball.

You guys have fun. I'm taking up clay sculpting... Anyone need a coffee mug? I've had it. Done, finito. No mass. See you in July.

How do I know that? I'm going on what the OP wrote, but I have no objection to bumping him where ever you'd like to. :thumbsup:

I'm bumping you to open for lack of clarity in your posts, and one more word Mr. and it's going to be Open Major! lol

Got it. I was working from his wording in this thread.

Yeah, adding the trigger and grip tape. Look at the photo...there is tape on the trigger guard. : ) If he changed the trigger it would have or should have read "what division would I be in if I changed the trigger and added grip tape."

There is no change in trigger, at least not mentioned by the OP. He mentioned adding trigger tape. Ronhonda introduced the replaced trigger.

Correct, sorry. Losing the light means no automatic bump to open, but the grip tape around the trigger and on the frame bumps you from production. See appendix E4 from the USPSA rule book. http://www.uspsa.org/document_library/rules/2014/Feb%202014%20Handgun%20Rules.pdf So unless you remove the tape I believe you are still in open, and minor as Krdshrk points out.

The grip tape on the trigger guard and slide AND the light bump you up to open. Nice rig, by the way.

We are a WAYS away from that happening. lol

By the time I add in the haz mat and shipping on the powder from cabella's and powder valley I wound up paying more per pound than what I just paid for 231 at Soloman's. I'd prefer to buy locally but he rations the quantity, which I fully understand and appreciate, but at this stage I'll take what I can get. I won't need to buy powder now for probably 2 years or better. Phew...

The name of the book was Glock Rise of America's gun, and all you needed to do was type "Glock Book" in any search engine and you would have found it. I mean, really. Would you like me to read it for you too? lol

JonF...a legend among men. He's a snappy dresser who knows all the latest dance moves. Real smooth that guy. lol

Thanks Man. I've got 4k on hand, that'll hold me over for a while, but I appreciate you looking out for me. I don't care what JonF says....you're OK in my book!

Hoped to save the haz mat fee by doubling up, you know. I should have picked some up when I was there 2 weeks ago. I've got 4,000 on hand, and now with this powder I'm feeling some relief knowing I've got a decent supply of material on hand. Need some bullets and I'll be good for a while.
