Max Payne

Fast Eddie will be shooting at Florida State & at the Southwest Regional. I know you shoot the SWR, & I may have seen you at Florida. Of course, he'll also be a the Ga. State & Tennessee State.

Ophelia Payne & I shot 125's for 2 or 3 years, then switched to 105's around 2013 or 2014. We've shot some 125's a few times since. The 105's make me feel better because they're a little more pointy, & psychologically make me think they should have an advantage in feeding in the rifle. But, I really can't tell the difference.

Max Payne & Ophelia Payne will be in for sure. We just have to get signed up & give you money. Thanks for doing this. I believe it has driven much extra participation in the state matches, as I've have heard several cow-people say this caused them to shoot matches they may have missed otherwise.

Wow! I'm not sure whether to thank you or not. I just spent my Grandson's college money on this.

Fine!

Lefty Wheeler has retired. Check his website.

Have you altered the length? If so, how long are they?

I have two of the Frankford arsenal vibra tubes. They hang up about 5-8 times while I'm loading 100, & I have to take it apart each time & straighten it out. I've tried everything from holding it at different angles, tapping it on the bench, using silicone spray (don't do this one), whatever I could think of. I even bought the 2nd one thinking maybe it was the one, but the new one does the same thing. This machine is a pain, but it's better than using the pickup tubes. If I knew the Hornady works perfectly, or close to perfectly, I'll spring for the price.

I withdraw my offer.

Faygo, you said above that if anybody had any questions on the Cochlear implants, to PM you. I PM'ed with with some questions. No response. I tried again, & found that I was blocked. Naturally, I'm puzzled.

Obviously, the best advice will come from the known fast guys, like Deuce & Junky on this topic. However, I can share my experience in my own evolution, & I have decreased my stage times significantly over the last year, & that year over the previous. Here are some things I have learned: If I try to shoot fast, I jack a round. If I think more about fast than hitting every single target every single time, I'm going to jack a round. I decide on a cadence, ESPECIALLY for a dump, or 4+ shots on a target that is safe for me, & it isn't as fast as I think I can shoot. I practice, usually 300-400 rounds/week. I'm fortunate to have a setup in my backyard with a mountain as my berm. If I have a misfire, I give the mainspring a quarter turn tighter. If it's a cold day (like 35 degrees or colder), & I'm at a shoot where I don't get a warmup stage to test everything, I'll tighten the mainspring a quarter-turn anyway, cause I know it's more likely to misfire on a cold morning. Even if it's a dump, focus on every single shot hitting the target. If you do that, & if you practice at least once/week, the speed will take care of itself. It's a lot like golf, as others have pointed out before. If you try to hit the ball hard, it doesn't work out. If you swing smoothly & correctly, you'll be amazed at how far the ball goes & how well things turn out. That's the only thing I learned at golf, because even though I played regularly & faithfully once a year, I never got any better.

Hope you're not offended by an offer: If you would consider $200, plus the $25 shipping, I'll take the small primer one.

I Kudos, Slim! That was a good one!

2 weeks between matches. I'm getting withdrawal shakes. Guess I'll take the duality out & pull some people out of ditches. That's always fun!
