IDPA - Flat footed reload will be dead, soon....
Just got the following email about pending rule changes. It's funny how they have a typo at the end too: The IDPA Rule Book HQ has received a number of calls asking when the new rule book will be posted. Although we are still working on it, we do want to let you know that we are listening to the membership and want to give you a little peak into the direction we are headed. The first, and one of the biggest announcements, is on the flatfooted reload. While we thought we were headed the right direction with this, it became obvious that the membership at large did not like this new rule and that we missed the mark by implementing it. The members have spoken using the suggestion tool and we listened. When this version of the rule book becomes effective, the flat footed reload will not be gone. Big cheers all around we are sure. I am assuming the part I underlined actually means "will be gone" NOT "will not be gone"

Have overlays and not afraid to use them
Glad to hear it was worthwhile, I had a conflict but hope to do it sometime. I got certified as an IDPA SO a while back and had the same feeling, it really makes you understand the game a heck of a lot better.

You of everyone should know rules are meant to be broken. But, since the plates are the focus point I did

While I did not have a "real" camera with me today, I did have my new iPhone 6+. Shot static steel at Old Bridge and while it was quite cold, it was a beautiful day and the leaves were nice and colorful. They even had a side stage of knockdown steel, and we finished around 12:30! WOW!

Good experience gone bad at RTSP - Resolved!
Tell me this is not great customer service. A complaint is written on an online message board and less than one hour the owner has resolved the issue. It would be great if all businesses were that responsive.

Good experience gone bad at RTSP - Resolved!
It is funny. I recall going to a gun shop in Rockaway NJ (forget the name) but its tucked away in the back of a building. An old man behind the counter growled at me "what do you want". I told him I was just looking and he made some comment. As I browsed the store I could just feel the eyes on me assuming I was going to steal something. No exactly the type place I would want to do business. It was the stereotypical old style gun shop.

Good experience gone bad at RTSP - Resolved!
The clerk I am sure made a bad judgement call, as Troy mentioned if you call one of the owners (Brad, Pete or Rick) I am fairly certain they will take care of this for you. Sorry your otherwise good experience was tainted but I am certain they will fix this for you. Not sure how you paid $37 for a port either. Are you including the price for targets in that as well? I believe a port for non-members is $20 an hour plus $10 for an additonal person, so even with tax it should have only been $32.10

Home insurance question
Why not just ring your neighbor's door bell and nicely ask them to take care of the issue.

Tom gave me the OK to take a picture of it before the match. I got it from the left side which does not show the two swinging no shoots in front of it. I think the hardest part was that there was only one shot on each target, thus it was much easier to get an FTN on these than normal stages where you are shooting two (or more) shots on a target. I think I was one of the lucky ones on the last stage, landing a down zero and a down one on that fast moving pop up and hide target.

Wow that first stage on the right-hand side was something else. Looked so easy, yet I don't think I have ever seen a stage generate so many FTN's ever.

Family phone plans
T-Mobile in my area (Morris County) is worthless. You might as well carry paper cups and an a long line of string. My wife had a Blackberry on T-mobile and could never use it in our area.
