    Sorry, had a chance to watch it and GoPro chopped the second video so I re-uploaded it.

    This should work:



    The first two shots are very aimed for me and not on index.

    With a good index it doesn’t take much to fine tune it for the aim.

    Excellent shooting. I want to give this test a try next time I’m at the range.

    I'll be running this, but wheelguns and autoloaders will be held to the same standard.

    But there is always this for anyone who questions things from Bakersfield:

    It's a shame that so few people recognize the very real differences between Bakersfield and Nashville. Those debates were much more intense than any caliber debate.

    ...and that sound was developed by a bunch of Oakies who fled the Dust Bowl, and one could make a viable argument that those same bloodlines are fueling the Red Dirt sound, which is once against in contrast with Nashville.


    However, when I saw you quoted me, I really thought it was going to be on the revolver thing.
    I had an ER nurse in a class. I noticed she kept taking all head shots. Her response when asked why, "'I've seen too many people who have been shot in the chest putting up a fight in the ER." Point taken.

    Believe it or not, I agree with you on the revolver thing. I’ve actually agreed with that premise for a long time. I fought it in IDPA simply because they were ignoring their own rules, which in my opinion is just plain laziness.

    I’ve found the evolution of country music fascinating. My parents grew up in the hills of Southwest VA and were close to the original surge of ‘hillbilly music’ that was centered in Bristol. My dad would tell stories of sneaking off to go sit on a hilltop to listen to a family play on their front porch on Saturday evenings. The ties to culture and history are intriguing to say the least.

    He wants that rig more than I do.

    So distances in meters should be 3, 6, 9 and 18 meters. (Not converting these to the last decimal place since measurements at the range tend to not be accurate to the centimeter anyway, rough conversions that ought to be "good enough".)

    Great! This helps a lot - B-8's are a US thing but IDPA targets can be found in lots of places.

    With my slow ass draw this is going to be a challenge. But since it isn't a hard pass/fail I'm willing to give it a go. Might be a while before I can find the range time though, the local range is damn busy these days.
