    Liberty Optics Still Legit?

    I spoke with Shamus Terry and he gave me a crystal clear understanding of what happened. I feel bad for anyone that got bit by this, but it looks like Vortex is going above and beyond to stand by the community.

    Gunsmithing Shopfox M1112

    My first lathe was the M1112 Shop Fox. They aren't the worst thing you could buy. My next lathe was a G0509G from Grizzly. It had flat spots in the bearings from day 1. Grizzly sent me a new set of bearings with the expectation that I would take apart the brand new "flagship top of the line...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 finish suggestions

    I'd suggest one of the PVD finishes for longevity purposes. TiAlN is a solid choice. Ion Bond is a trade name for DLC and you pay extra for the name.

    As 2014 Approaches does this need to be addressed ?

    Without classification/divisions, it's only another PRS series that allows every match to be a "league" match. The only proposed difference would be that someone would be collecting and comprising data and you wouldn't have to pay membership dues. That could be done within the PRS series too if...

    The PRS grew some in 2013, even still matches are strong in the Texas and OK area and weak in other parts of the country. It doesn't make sense to join if there is only 1 match in a 6 hour radius of your home. Frank's proposition would change that. More shooters would get involved, and would get...

    LL is correct Jim. The idea is to only shoot 1 classifier stage for the entire match. To get the classification system rolling though it would be great if a MD could do one of the 6 on the first day of the match and another on the 2nd day of the match. The more data that is available the better...

    USPSA had ez-win score that allows match directors to upload scores to a common data base. It ain't that difficult. Those that don't understand how easy that is don't know what they don't know. The only thing I see difficult is ranking the individual matches. Forget using wind as a factor, it's...

    Jim, let me clarify a few things for you. First, there is a difference between classification and division. Classification is how well you score/shoot in your chosen division. To classify a shooter in any division, he would only have to shoot a few "classifier" stages built into any match he...

    You're absolutely right, and I didn't think about that. MV x BC = Ballistic Advantage. I also agree that published numbers should be used. The hard part is going to be figuring out where the cut off should be.

    Also, look at the PRS schedule and the location of the matches. There can be more matches on the east coast and PNW, PRS is selective about the matches they allow to be a part of the series and that doesn't help much in the grand scheme of promoting growth.

    Wow, what a clusterfuck of a thread. There are some really solid ideas here and I believe Lowlight is on the right track, but too many aren't tracking and that detracts from the entire flow of the thread. I think much can be learned from taking note of organizations that have ORGANIZED national...
