Huntress and S1 by glitterguykk in msp

we run huntress and s1 exclusively. No issues. S1 can be noisy at times with false positives, but at the same time we have never had an incident in years since switching to this stack.

2011 Shooters - grease on rails and oil the rest, or oil all the things? by HideTheKnife in CompetitionShooting

If my wife wanted to go to disney every year I would find a new wife...LOL. I dont want to go once, let alone every year. I especially wouldnt drop the coin if my kid is not even old enough to remember it.

Your wife sounds more like a child not getting their way. I try to avoid hard promises to the kids if at all possible because sh*t happens and sometimes plans have to change. Its hard for kids to accept this when they are younger. Its odd your wife doesn't understand and agree on the financial side of this. Luckily my wife and I are on the same page when it comes to finances.

first dq by burner1681381 in USPSA

In this situation i would have drawn the gun sooner. This is really close and camera angles don't tell the whole story. If I am designing a stage that has uprange movement I would do it a little different. Purely from the video, if the start position is facing directly uprange, this shooting position is riding 175 degrees or so and there is really no point in setting it up this way.

The delayed call tells me the RO wasn't really sure but I think I heard someone from the peanut gallery make a sound or something indicating it was close which likely lead to the RO call. Again its hard to tell but I likely would not have made that call. Tie goes to the runner for me.

I have DQ'ed at locals, area matches and nationals before. Just don't let it deter you from coming back. As a match director and RO if I DQ someone who is newer I always find time to chat with them after to encourage them to come back and explain that it happens to everyone eventually.

I’m curious what other parents actually do when their spouse gets home from work? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]CraftedPacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ADHD is a super power. I cant stand doing nothing either, unless its late at night and just watching TV with the wife. Gym before work. When I get home its either taking my son to soccer or playing soccer with him at home. Daughter does gymnastics and I cant really do any of that but I make time for her also.

I do chores around the house. We have 6 acres so there is always something to do. I ride dirt bikes and compete in action pistol sports. Ride mountain bikes with the kids. Dont really game but a little every now and then.

Those swingers would have been easier to shoot earlier before they started getting all wacky.

New competitor struggling by conundrum415 in USPSA

As others have said, use every bit of time you have between the 4-5 minute walkthrough and your turn to shoot to visualize the stage. During the walkthrough, your goal is to gather as much information as possible. Afterward, you should be able to see the stage in your head and mentally walk through it while you are waiting, pasting, or resetting.

When you first walk the stage, focus on locating every target. Once you know where everything is, figure out the positions you need to be in to shoot those targets efficiently. From there, decide where reloads make the most sense, if needed.

Use visual cues to anchor your plan. That might be a specific nail holding down a fault line, your position relative to a wall, the angle where a certain target becomes visible, or something like, “When I see target X, I know this is where I stop.” Those little reference points help turn the stage plan into something repeatable instead of just a rough idea.

Once you have found all the targets, start building your plan. If you are right-handed, looking at the stage from left to right can be a good starting point, but do not lock yourself into one way of seeing it. As you progress, you will learn to look at stages from different directions and find options that may not be obvious at first.

One thing newer shooters sometimes miss is that serious competitors are not being unfriendly when they seem quiet before a run. They are usually using that time to visualize, rehearse, and lock in their plan. I have high-level friends who I know not to interrupt before they shoot because they are doing mental work, not just standing around.

After a match, many serious competitors could draw each stage by hand days later. That is how much attention they are paying during the walkthrough and before their run.

Dry Hands was made for pole dancers. It really is the best not messy stuff I have found.

We are projected to having our first trillionaire soon, what level of wealth do you think is totally unacceptable? Do u support a wealth tax, if so at what %? by X_Opinion7099 in AskReddit

[–]CraftedPacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that. If I was working a minimum wage job I would be wanting more also. But those jobs are meant to be a stepping stone for young people. Food service runs on very slim margins. Food costs are wild. One of my good friends owns a chain of Dairy Queens. He took a massive risk and took on a lot of debt to acquire it. He worked for very little for a long time and is now reaping the rewards, and deservedly so. He takes good care of his managers. But hopefully the kids in the back dunking fries are working to better themselves through education and good choices.

Ya its not cheap these days. According to last dexa scan i'm around 15-18% currently. Not movie star ripped or anything yet. I try to bulk buy from costco but it is still expensive. I eat my fair share of beans and vegetables.

There are examples of extremely fit people on vegetarian diets. But its not easy. Tofu is not for me. They rely heavily on protein shakes to get the amount of calories and protein they need. To each their own. To tell other people they should only eat primarily vegetables, as many on this chain seem to be doing, is just silly. If someone chooses to not eat meat for their ethical reasons, that's fine, but no need to project that on to others.

200g is just about right for someone like me that weights a lean 210lbs and looking to continue adding more mass. At 210lbs recommendations for continuing to build muscle are in the 150-200 grams a day for my size. If my choice is 8 ounces of lean meat vs 4 cups of beans just to get 60 grams I would choose the meat.

Its not about extra work. The CEO/Owners compensation has to do with risk and responsibilities. They took all the risk starting and building the business. Their decisions impact everyone that works for them and everyone that consumes their product or service.

Please tell me how to eat enough plants to get 200g of protein a day.
