Industrial O2 is just pumped from the tower. Medical O2 comes from the same source, but is tested for purity to 99.7% pure. Aviators is also pumped from the same source, but tested for moisture.
Also, Grade D breathing air is NOT medical or aviation grade oxygen. Grade D breathing air is just regular air (19.5%-23.5% O2 by volume) under pressure, with the above specifications.

that makes sense , im certain they inspect for clean air but must also inspect pressure to be accurate ?
Class D air compressor gauges must be calibrated (I think annually). Not part of the breathing air testing, but yes it is a requirement.

i have a friend that scuba dives - he has to get his tanks filled at local scuba shop - think that kinda pressure is regulated and inspected regularly , i know the compressed air in the commercial shops that i built were inspected and accredited regularly - i had to provide reports that said what it was to be and how it rated
The scuba compressors are not inspected/tested because of the pressure, it's because it's used for breathing air. There are specifications for Class D breathing air.
Grade D breathing air specifications:
Oxygen content: 19.5%–23.5% by volume
Hydrocarbon content: 5 mg/m³ or less (condensed)
Carbon monoxide (CO): 10 ppm or less
Carbon dioxide (CO2): 1,000 ppm or less
Odor: Must be free of any noticeable odor

Doesn't sound like you have or are looking for a big/heavy trailer. Why get a diesel?
I currently drive a 4x4 2022 Chevy 2500 with the 6.6 gas engine, 6-speed tranny.
Don't need the towing capacity. Need the cargo capacity.
I am averaging 16mpg on the highway when not towing and keeping the speed to 65mph max.
I am averaging 10/11 mpg when towing on the same roads at the same speeds.
my GeoPro 19FBS has a very heavy tongue weight when loaded. It's a single axle trailer with a 30 gal potable water tank forward of the axle, plus two lead acid batteries and two 15 lb propane tanks.

I'm going to say no.
A cheek rest/riser is not specifically mentioned in the SHB.
But, SHB pg 40 states:
ANY EXTERNAL MODIFICATION TO ANY FIREARM NOT SPECIFICALLY REFERENCED IN THIS HANDBOOK IS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED.

I have an egg.
Like the pellet grills I can bake, BBQ, grill, or smoke. I found it easy to learn how to control the temperature.
I went with the egg because I didn't want to need electricity to cook. Hurricanes and such.
Only downside, to me, is you can't easily or quickly change from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.

We put the targets out a little further to minimize the splatter from jacketed bullets. Everyone was shooting 9mm and/or .22’s. No high powered stuff. We used the regular targets we use for cowboy.
We did the same.
Our pistol targets were roughly where our Cowboy rifle targets are and our rifle targets were another 5-10 paces beyond that.

Did you use your metal cowboy targets with fmj 9mm ammo and was there any issues with safty or damage to the targets? Thanks Bullett
The majority of our targets are mild steel.
We require lead only at (roughly) cowboy velocities to keep from damaging our targets.
My 124gr lead 9mm ammo runs ~950 fps from a Glock 19 and ~1075 fps from a 16" AR9.

Why the tiered pricing increase?

We had 11 shooters yesterday and the weather was wonderful.
We use the timer and keep score but it's more for individual records.
I like shooting our 5th Saturday matches because I bring out my bedside/CCW pistol. I feel it's good training for target acquisition and mag changes. Getting to shoot a PCC and my home defense shotgun is just a bonus.

Looks about like she did in her Playboy layout, October 2001, according to Google.

We do similar on months with 5th Saturday's. We call it our Moonshiner Match.
Five stages.
Set up so people can shoot either cowboy action or Moonshiner.

Shooting the revolver, after the first shot went down range, shooter had a squib but was able to fully cock the revolver.
Shooter was instructed by the TO to put the revolver down on the table, don't decock, and finish the stage.
After the shooter finished the stage, the TO retrieved the cocked revolver and took it to the unloading table.
There was an obstruction in the barrel.
Shooter was assessed four misses.
Shooter feels he should have been assessed a SDQ.
What's the call?
SHB Pg 23
STAGE DISQUALIFICATION PENALTY (SDQ)- A cocked revolver leaving the shooter’s hand.
SHB Pg 14
STAGE CONVENTIONS- In the case of a suspected squib, the TO will instruct the shooter to make the firearm safe and continue with the next firearm.
SHB Pg 15
FIREARM CONVENTIONS
Safety & Handling Conventions – Revolvers- A cocked revolver may never leave a shooter’s hand, including from one hand to the other. This does not apply when loading, unloading, or reloading on the firing line.
Safe Conditions During a Course of Fire – Revolvers
Revolvers are considered SAFE for movement (in hand, while holstering, or while moving through a stage) and SAFE to leave the shooter’s hand in the following conditions ONLY:
- Hammer fully down on an empty chamber.
- Hammer fully down on an expended round.
SHB Pg 17
Safety & Handling Conventions – All Firearms- If a competitor has a firearm malfunction that cannot be cleared during the course of fire, the shooter may not leave the firing line until the firearm has been cleared. A Match Disqualification penalty will be assessed to the shooter if they leave the firing line with the malfunctioning firearm unless under the direct supervision of a Match official.
This did happen. I was not present but was approached by the shooter afterwards.

I am currently using triple-flange tips but I like the foam ones as well.

I'd try the the SliXprings Scraper. I have one for my 357 chambered guns that I shoot 38 Special in. It works.

It saved a state championship match for me.
What is a patch knife?

Ask if there is a TV Connector to pair your hearing aids with your TV (mine plugs into the optical out port on the back of the TV).
It doesn't affect the external speakers for people other people watching, but pipes the audio directly into your hearing aids. You can also mute the external speakers and no one else will hear anything.
I have Phonak hearing aids.
