Alf... I actually have more fun with the practice sessions and the guys that typically are on the squad... three of the steel challenge courses are set up, and you shoot it twice... no score keeping... no painting between shooters, and member price is $2... I may squeak into Master, but GM is not a goal...
since cataract surgery, I'm not in an immediate hurry to get into Carry Optics...I carry a fixed sight G43x... but I do have a G17 slide cut and will stick the Holosun 507 on it as it is brighter than the Trijicon... the price of rim fire ammo is coming down, but I don't think small pistol primers will ever get back to $.03 again... at 6 matches and about 1200 rounds a month, it is still cheap enough for me to shoot....regards
