WTF is THIS ???

Perhaps a new sort of rapid fire comp to be added as a Crowd Pleaser . . . .

PITA = Pain in the @$$.

Open questions:
1. How to handle FFL transfer for out-of-state buyer of 54.30 if buyer shows in-person to gather up all items?
2. Observation: the unique limiter here on "All as Lot," is the 'Boots-n-Suits' - size 42 feet & a medium.

Hope this helps.

Re: MORINI MELTDOWN=Don't buy 200EI for ANY Reason.

You probably broke it yourself.. i.e 'fixed' it until it broke.. :) The biggest problem are the owners themselves that do not know how the triggers work and adjust them outside the design parameters. No adjustments at all. None. Ten weeks into brand new pistol. Pirate's new, broken 200 going back t...

MORINI MELTDOWN = Don't buy 200EI for ANY Reason. Just WASTED an entire travel itinerary for the FABULOUS MORINI 200EI to take a Swiss-shit six minutes into the sight-in period at CMP-South Match. EXACT same problem as Pirate's 200EI - which each pistol was obtained from completely different source...

Re: Making anything below an 8 unacceptable

that anything below an 8 is really quite unacceptable, so how do people make a low shot unacceptable? What mental tools or methods do you use? Anything SIX or lower shows up as a gross black dot on the white, that everyone can see & laugh at your worthlessness, hence . . . . . . defer to the ag...

Yep! Fill my cylinders with oxyacetylene - burns a bigger hole in the target for better scoring; plus, the tracer rounds are good therapy for my PTSD.

Scratch and Dent grips are totally acceptable . . . . Here's a couple Steyr grips beyond "scratch & dent," these are more Island of Dr. Moreau mutant grips. BEHOLD! These are rejects from Germany, then mutated in rarified air of the Appalachian mountains: http://i.imgur.com/wuCcVL3m.j...

Re: 600 score

I'm surprised centre hold isn't more popular as it's much easier to aim at the thing you want to hit . . . Also I think I read somewhere that one of the shooting records was done with a centre hold, so surely that's a fairly strong argument to do centre? Do it your way; you get your results. Do it ...

Re: 600 score

I'm new to shooting What I'd love to know is from the athletes who have shot a score of 600. Anyway, to achieve this, was there anything in particular you did? Current world record is 594. Gonna need Albert Einstein or Buck Rogers to blast you thru a wormhole to find a 600. 600 will NEVER be done.

Atomic here - in similar situation to Pirate - we're both about five weeks into NEW 200EI. Pirate, I'll brainstorm possible issue . . . . My experience with the 200EI was possibly the "Dry Fire" feature - first competed with the 200EI in the October EIC, then at Dixie Double. I SWEAR the t...
