Shot a much better match this time at Renton, had two mikes, one because I didn't look at my sights, and the other a silly round mis-count. Anyway, came in 1st overall (because the top GMs and Ms weren't around) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8cf8LXJGuc

I shot at my pace today getting my hits but not going at breakneck speeds. Came in 2nd behind TimR. Could have gone faster in some of the stages as it felt really slow, but I would probably be dropping lots of points. Will try to gradually speed up at the next match.

This was a charity match setup by the DownZero club here in Seattle. It is to promote Prostate Cancer Awareness. Did you know that Prostate cancer affects 1 in 6 men? and it's deadlier than breast cancer?
if you're over 40,do yourself, and more importantly, your family, a favor and schedule an appointment to have it checked.

Had a great time shooting with our squad. I can admit that shooting with Nick (GM) definitely affects me mentally. Some stages I push myself too far trying to catch up to him but fail and bomb the stage, but when I take his performance as an inspiration and shoot to my abilities, I do well.
Shooting in the Open division is definitely a mental game.

Finally managed to get out to shoot my pistol. I haven't shot it in two months and it shows. Need to get comfortable behind the gun again. I did shoot a clean match which was surprising, haven't done that since Summer last year.

Week #31. After much cajoling by the community over the past few months, I've relented and implemented Waypoint locomotion. Now you can specify waypoints during the stage using the GRIP button, then after the buzzer, hold down GRIP for more than 1s to instantly teleport to the next waypoint. That way you can plan your stage positions before starting, and move through the stage without messing with trackpad or teleporting locomotion styles. Give it a shot and let me know how it works. I'm surprised to say that I'm pretty impressed with the playability of it.
Changelog v0.43
* Waypoint Locomotion
* New USPSA Long Course
* Allow movement in passages
* Swapped clamshell for Flap-Up Target in Gallery
* Fixed disable movement override
* Fixed connecting menu activators
* Fixed shot calling stage start problem
* Fixed stage designer loading issue
Enjoy!

I recently found out that there was a company who's making 170mm magazines that is purported to be able to fit 30 rounds of 9mm ammo so I decided to purchase one to give it a try.
Company is called MBXExtreme.com and they currently have four models of magazines 170/140 in 9mm and 140mm in 40S&W and 140mm in 45ACP.
According to the website, the 140mm 9mm magazines can hold 24 rounds and 170mm can hold 29-30 rounds.
As you can see from the video, I could fit 30 rounds in the magazine but not without some help. I think it'll get better after "breaking in" the springs.
It is still not very clear to me how beneficial 30+1 rounds would be for me as most stages are around 30-32 rounds max especially with the stress that it puts on my grip. Perhaps it would be most beneficial if it was 31+1 for a maximum of 32rounds in the magazine.
I have a match coming up in a few days, I'll take it out for a spin and report back with another video.
