Why is this?
I think he's referring to height advantage with the new cover lines.

I'm going to try my hand at IDPA and/or USPSA at the ORSA range in February, and I was hoping for any pointers that experienced shooters might be able to share with me. I've read a lot of the stuff out there for new shooters, so I'm not going in completely blind. For those of you that shoot competitions regularly, what do you wish you would have known at your first match, for example? My plan is to shoot with my CZ 75, which I believe is SSP in IDPA if that helps at all.
Your CZ 75 is SSP legal. You will have to start with the hammer down though. If it's a decocker it can go to half-cock. If it's a safety, you have to manually lower the hammer all the way down. For safety models, you can have it cocked and locked, but you have to shoot ESP division.

This may end up being the only Striker fired pistol I buy. I don't own any poly guns anymore. I'm a CZ homer so this could fit right in for me.

I'm going to a shop in Gallatin, TN. I've got enough in the FSA to get some kick ass glasses.

I have FSA money I have to blow by January 31 or lose it. I figure a good way to blow it would be on prescription shooting sunglasses.
Does anybody know an Eye Dr. local to Nashville that carries something like this?

How do you re-charge Desiccant in the oven?
I have the metal canisters.

Guns in general got in my blood. Addict is a proper description.

Whoa that helps. I see. It's the cost of building it out. I don't see me shooting more than 3,000 rounds a month in the near future. Looks like the 550 is the best fit for the budget. I'll probably only load 9 and 45 for awhile. Am I correct that rifle rounds are easier to do for a newb on a single stage? I could just pick up on of those later.

The 650 base unit is only $100 more vs the 550. It just seems smart to dump an extra $100 for the faster press unless I'm missing something.

Yea reloading doesn't really save money. Just allows more practice
That's what I hear. I'm just convincing myself now! I'm mostly doing it for consistent, lower recoil ammo.
-
I've got some friends who are going to teach me the tricks when I start out.
I've been saving up brass for some time and finally figured out that I could save money on ammo to blow on more guns! Get the press first! It's just economics!
-
I'll be doing 9MM to start, but will move into .45 and .223 soon.
I'd really hate to buy something I'm just going to end up replacing down the road. I've been shooting IDPA and I do shoot a lot of ammo. I'd rather not invest in a press that is not very productive.
I'll enjoy reloading, I just won't have a ton of time to do it so I'm looking for a long term do it all solution.

I'm finally going to get a press in February. How functional is a base Dillon 650? I'd like to get the base unit up and running, then start adding parts later.
Can you begin reloading without all the frills?
Is it a decent pace without the extra equipment?
I'll be a total noob at reloading, but I do tend to engross myself in something when I start it.
I'll probably buy it from Reloaders Bench in Mt. Juliet.

I have seen reports from this summer about random screenings at WDW. At that time, they were only having some people go through metal detectors. They may have some type of screening at Downtown Disney. For the resort hotels themselves, I would imagine it would be difficult to screen at those properties.
When I stayed at Port Orleans, there was no way to screen anything other than excluding non-guests at the entrance to the parking lot. You could easily CC anywhere else in that area.
Hahahaha! Random. Yeah. Put on gun logo'd piece of apparel and see just how random it gets.
I wore a CZ bucket hat to the parks four days in a row. Four "random" full metal detector, pat down searches later, I said some things to the security guard that I'm not so proud of and can't repeat!
Yeah, they are doing full bag searches to all bags every day and random metal detectors / pat downs. Don't try it.

Thanks to everybody who put this match together. I had a blast despite going full ADHD on a few stages.
Glad to hear there will be a few more before closing the doors.

UH oh!!! For the mortals! How about a CCP challenge>?
Shoot what you carry!
-
I would have. I'm not playing. It's my daughter. I only have room for one sport and I'm very rusty.

Besides Royal Range, I've not seen American Eagle 147 grain locally. Does anybody north of Nashville stock American Eagle 147 grain 9mm?
Thanks
-
I'm in!
If anybody needs a ride from Hendersonville or Gallatin, give me a heads up. The bus leaves around 9:30 or 10 with a stop for lunch just before the shoot.
-
Nobody mentioned CZ shotguns. I'm a homer for their pistols and love them. Is their entry level 3 Gun any good?
-
I'm interested in three gun. All I need is a decent entry level semi auto shotgun.
I've got a Mossberg 500 pump but that's not really going to work long term.
I wouldn't want to spend over $700 but could push it if needed.

And you didn't even need to use your AK. As the warrior poet ice cube has it, today was, in fact, a good day
HOLY CRAP!!! I was muttering that in my head on the way home from shooting!!!

It's very rewarding building your own AR and once you've done one you see it's not that difficult. Congratulations!
That's what blew my mind. I'd rather completely strip an AR than completely strip any of my pistols, especially the Ruger Mark 3.

May want to ask Sumner Gun to hit it up on their Facebook page.
