The post whore thread.

[HoneyBadger]

the bipod video sucked. I'll remake it today.

I posted up a compare and contrast video of a couple different one-piece 'style' mounts: Spuhr and LaRue
Awesome [Beer]

[HoneyBadger]

Come out early(0730), help set up ($5 off match fee), get an early look at the stages, meet some folks (usually at least half a dozen from here) drink coffee and ease any prematch nerves.
Man, I really need to get into this. It's too bad ya'll are so far North.

[buffalobo]

They run one or two matches a month down there as well as USPSA and a Monday nite match ( I forget which discipline) that I want to come down for.

Damn. For some reason I thought there weren't any competitions close to me and I just put my stupid blinders on.... [facepalm]

I need to look into this. pronto.

[buffalobo]

Or sooner. Many folks from the board shoot the matches down there.

Am going to Cheyenne this month and hope to catch a couple matches in the Springs in Jan and Feb.

[HoneyBadger]

I don't know why I've been holding myself back. I think I would really love it, but I just can't muster up the balls to actually go find out I guess.

[Irving]

Just show up. It's easy.

What is the difference between the different events? USPSA? IDPA? whatever else there is?

You are getting ready for CA with that outlook. [Beer]

[buffalobo]

What is the difference between the different events? USPSA? IDPA? whatever else there is?
Both are run and gun, IDPA has more rules and slanted towards self defense, USPSA fewer rules, faster and slanted toward sporting/competition.

Just show up. It's easy.
Irving said it all. Only hard part is just showing up. After the match you will scold your self for stalling.

First match IDPA all you need is pistol, holster(appropriate for CC) and 100 rnds ammo (I bring 100-150 just in case of stage reshoot or really bad accuracy on my part). I have never used more than 105 rnds. Also need cover garment which you will be already wearing (it is winter soon).

As you shoot more matches you will decide if your holster works for your purposes in match and what type mag carriers you like etc.

[bogie]

The millennial generation won't make eye contact. You can totally psyche them out as they walk down the center isle...lol...off we go...later hos

So if I show up with my G19, 2 mags, 150rds, my IWB holster, a jacket, and ear pro I'm good to go? What is the fee to play? Any other associated fees?

Any specific holster requirements? I have a Serpa OWB holster that would probably be a lot better for drawing from than my Supertuck, but it is not in any way intended for concealment.

[HoneyBadger]

You are getting ready for CA with that outlook. [Beer]
BOHICA

[crays]

BOHICA

So maybe that's BOHICA-In-CAlif ?

[buffalobo]

Two mags will usually suffice(for IDPA, stage requires 18 rnds and you start with 21 so if you want a chance at more than 3 make up shots then need 3rd mag) but take 3. Maybe couple extra bucks if side match.

Most IDPA matches are $20 and most clubs knock off $5 if you show up early to help set up.

Serpa holster should be fine as long as not drop leg rig and your cover garment conceals it.

Irving runs an IWB holster very well and speed is no concern first match. Safety is. If you shoot yourself in the azz while drawing pistol, RO will DQ you then render first aid.

[HoneyBadger]

Is there a limit on gun type or mag size?

Any specific holster requirements? I have a Serpa OWB holster that would probably be a lot better for drawing from than my Supertuck, but it is not in any way intended for concealment.

Holster restrictions are:
No drop-leg
No shoulder
No appendix
No 6 o'clock or cross draw
Must be worn behind center line of hips (3 o'clock and back).
Any mag holster should be worn center line and back as well.

A lot of people use OWB holsters, you just have a cover garment.

What you listed is fine, but I'd bring three magazines if you have them. You'll be loading to 10 rounds (11 to start).
To give you an idea, I shot my first match in 2009, skipped 2010, and have been shooting every year since. I just got a magazine carrier THIS year (2014). I just show up with my carry holster, 5 mags (only ever use 3), mag carrier, and an untucked T-shirt as my cover garment. I did mag changes out of my pockets for a long time. Oh, correction, I just got a GOOD, kydex mag carrier this year. I was using a nylon carrier for full sized mags, with Kleenex stuffed into the bottom to raise up my compact mags, with the retention straps removed, for years. I got a penalty once because I was laying prone and my mags slid out of my nylon mag holster.

Anyway, like I was saying, just show up. And you forgot eyepro on your list.

[HoneyBadger]

[ROFL1] I always try not to shoot myself in the ass!

Thanks for the good info, guys. I'll probably have to go buy some cheap eyepro to wear over my glasses... The glasses I wear every day are scratch-resistent and shatter-proof, but they don't wrap around the sides like eyepro normally does. I did take a direct hit with a piece of hot brass to one of my lenses last year, and it didn't even leave a mark.

Forgot to ask: Are those restrictions above are for IDPA, right? Would you recommend finding an IDPA match first? does it matter?

[buffalobo]

[ROFL1] I always try not to shoot myself in the ass!
You be surprised some of the things that happen, first match, first stage. Even experienced shooters. [emoji33]

I am planning on the Pikes Peak match in January, weather permitting of course.

High Plains IDPA - Cheyenne 12/13

Yes and yes. Shoot a few IDPA matches and then run and gun in USPSA.

Steel Challenge matches are great for first time matches as well.

Been sitting here hiding behind my desk. My floor is filled with folks who are engaging in a recount for state land commissioner elections. Buncha self important asswipes. Yeah, you guys are real important, hand selected to recount votes in an election that shoulda been over a month ago. The worst part is that whenever I walk out of my office, they all stare at me like I'm the intruder.

Sorry, short rant. Almost out of here though.

Sounds like some others here have had suckier days, though. Best wishes to you other folks here.

A pacemaker might be the best thing for her. It's stresful enough waiting for results and "opinions" from surgeons, however better to do it now if necessary, then find out later on it's going to require more work .

My brother was one of the kids (under 10) who had one of the original pacemakers installed. he went through 3 pm's before receiving a transplant. His surgeons were mentioned during the Awards ceremony scene in the movie Something the Lord Made.

When you drive around all day, getting gas and finding places to take dumps is mandatory. Being a parts running mule is just polite.

A personal phone call got him his new "title"?

turns out that the VA found mroe stuff... so, the total number is 24 individual body parts that are all jacked up, with 17 of them directly related to, or as a direct result of, doing the Good Lord's work.

My situation is unique in that there are HOR state by-laws that apply to me.

the vocational rehab is part of the plan BC I don't want to do my current job anymore AND I am not able to get into the job that my Bachelors degree allows.

[TheBelly]

Well, I wish you the best. How many years have you been in?

Im at 11 years AFCS (enlisted and officer) with 3 years reserves. I joined on 12 September 2001. It's only fitting that when the war's done, I go home.

[TheBelly]

I plan on using the VA's vocational rehab, state by-laws for my wife and I's Master's Degrees, and GI Bill for my post-grad work.

The voc-rehab thing is neat because it gets you all the tools you need to do it by yourself. Ex:they get you all the tools you need to be a mechanic ( not my career field of choice).

[buffalobo]

According to CSP officer, I just missed this wreck by 10 minutes. Patrolman would not confirm fatalities, so decide for yourself.

Anybody been to Bruces in Severance lately?

How is the food these days. A buddy and his wife are coming to town next week and he is a huge fan. We have not been there in probably 10 yrs.

[brutal]

Full flight. Damn these winter sports people. I've had the middle seat open on my last 3 flights. Guess my luck was due to run out.

I decided to leave Dallas a little earlier today and was lucky to get a 20C instead of the 20A (damn jump seat) after someone else got bumped. Changed seats from the app while moving up in the boarding line. :D

#26 on the upgrade list just doesn't cut it anymore and I flew so little this year I'm going to lose my status for probably 6 months. Slow year in 2014 for me, but I almost always hit it in June July or August.

I didn't think I was gonna, but I ended up putting some xmas lights in the front yard. One larger tree and two bushes by the front step.

Funny how it doesn't take much to get the "inner Griswold" fired up, I'm already thinking about how much more shit I could put up, but I'm still trying to talk myself out of it.

Apparently, I drank significantly more than I thought last night.

What's with this "sorry, we don't have bags" bullsh*t to put the stuff you just bought in? I have to bring my own bag? This earth friendly, hipster P.C crap makes me want to throw up.

Another unreasonable view fraught with baseless emotional "facts."

The re-usable bags actually consume more natural resources, have long term environmental impacts as yet unknown, and are prone to breeding some nasty bacterial stuff.

Your daughter is a pretty young lady, Jerry. Is that a Father/Daughter pic you put up?

[Irving]

Jerry's hair is a tad longer than that.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Heyyy Irving.

You got dem boolits reloaded yet?

[Irving]

Nah, might have time to start tomorrow. Spent time in Bailey with blackford and broke in new running shoes today. Now it's time to clean my rank ass house.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Cleanliness is next to godliness, or so I've heard. :)

Put some beats on, and get to it I suppose.

The floor down here could use to be swept and running the vacuum wouldn't hurt, but I ain't gettin' after that right now.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I'm thinking more like starting the oven and throwing in a pizza. I don't eat that crap very often, but I bought a few frozen pies at the grocery store today. Kind of a treat I guess.

[HoneyBadger]

If Flyboy was at my squadron's Christmas party, I sure didn't know it! [LOL]

Also, no tattoos on the lower back. *whew!*

[OtterbatHellcat]

lol, HB ..no tramp stamp.

How are ya?

I've got some south park on, the episode where they're talking about when the word "shit" can be said, and in what context.

Funny shit.

[HoneyBadger]

Hey OBC! :)


Yeah... I'm real glad I don't have a tramp stamp! [LOL]



Finally started feeling better around 2 this afternoon. I think i'm going to take next Thursday off to go to the range and sight in my new optics. [Awesom]

[HoneyBadger]

South Park does do some pretty good stuff. My favorite episode is still the one about Kanye being a dick. Close second was the one about how Pro wrestling is all fake.

[Great-Kazoo]

Nah, might have time to start tomorrow. Spent time in Bailey with blackford and broke in new running shoes today. Now it's time to clean my rank ass house.

Why was he chasing you?

FWIW: IRVING does things for folks not many people know of or really care to know. Being chased in the hills by another member, WITH NEW RUNNING SHOES, just reinforces that whole TMI




BUT on a serious side. He's been, like others here, a great help with a few things Thanks. You other guys i break balls on, deal with it. It's those flag burners who believe they're libertarians [ROFL2]in GD got my tit in a vise . Liber for the first part is right.

So anyways, I'm eating this shitty pizza, and one of my teeth falls apart. They warned me to get this crown done, but I put it off........now it Broke off.

Fuck....there goes a few bucks....I'll call 'em on Monday

[OtterbatHellcat]

You other guys i break balls on, deal with it.

I wouldn't feel right, if you didn't bust my balls about something from time to time.

Irving is a pretty cool cat, and I'm not just saying that.....he gave me $10 to say it.

They make an OTC temp tooth repair kit, in most drug & grocery stores.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I need to get it fixed, should have listened to them when they said it needed done. Actually, I think I'm lucky in that it didn't break off below the gum line...I think that would require an implant.

They can probably still do a crown.

Bombardier? Somebody else got hosed LOL

My problem is that even when I make silver status, our travel system will only buy tickets three days before departure, so I get a back middle seat 90% of the time on United, etc.

lately, I'm trying to get southwest flights. I just pay the $25 out of pocket to get Early bird and usually end up in the front 5 rows or an exit row. Money well spent imo. Plus the free direct tv helps out some.

The Highway Safety office insists the double entendre was intentionally inserted to get people's attention.In icy conditions, drivers should avoid the urge to jerk the steering wheel, an ad for the campaign (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf63cxtJV_U) shown above says.
"Resist the urge to jerk the steering wheel. Over correcting only creates more chaos," the narrator says. "Besides, nobody likes a jerker." [LOL]

apparently North Dakota has the highest male to female ratio in the country.

No, 737

Rows 20 21 are exit on all UA 2x3 wide body (Airbus, 737, 757). Most versions have a super thin seat cushion on the window seats in the exit rows and/or a half armrest.

Although only Silver so I have to wait until check in to move up to E+ seating, I almost always get exit because someone got moved up either 72 hrs prior, or after check-in depending on their status. Then the just-before-flight seating starts to move around with late check-ins and standby, etc. and I can sometimes squeak out something a little better from the app while at the gate. My favorite seat is 7A or 7D (A3xx, 737) right behind F when there's a shortened bulkhead and front floor storage.

I'm not even making silver going into 2015, 3k miles short and I don't want to pay $350 to make the cheapest miles run I could find (Miami.) I'll use a new UA mileage plus card to keep priority 2 boarding, and pay out of pocket for plus until I get Silver back. I'm picking up 50k award miles for a small spend on the card, and two free club passes per year, so it's a decent deal to keep me out of the kettle line.

Already have two known trips east for January, and possibly a third, so I will probably make Silver again mid year like I usually do. I normally either hit segments or do 30-40K, always short for Gold. One of those upcoming trips (Raleigh) should have been in 2014 and got pushed so I'm kinda bummed about that one causing my status loss and zero chance of upgrading into F which is the biggest pisser about losing status even though it's kinda rare. I got upgraded to F for 5 segments in 2014.

I considered switching to AA for 2015 but UA is still going to work better for me for the time being, even with their RDM changes going to revenue like Delta.

Fixed for lobo.

Yep. I was familiar with the Metallica lyrics, but not that it came from the book. That series was suggested in one of the many book threads that I started back in 2010. Buffalobo seconded the recommendation, but I didn't know him back then. I've had the series on my radar since then, but just started reading it. Kazoo, how much of that info did you know without looking it up?
