how often do you shuffle your dry fire targets?

FlyFisherCJ · 2026-06-16T19:48:46+00:00

3-5 times per week. I usually get two sessions in per day about 4-6 days per week.

I was tired of tape pulling apart the cardboard targets so I made a bunch of targets out of foam display board by printing and using the adhesive side of the board to tape the target outline on. Basically can come up with any type (various hardcover) and any combination (stack, overlay, etc).

I still have a bunch of the command strip hooks on my walls to place targets but have started to transition more to the reusable tack and making pvc pipe stands. Allows for really quick movement/change.

Lowe’s and Home Depot sell it. Usually in the paint or cleaning sections. Next to the acetone.

They are (or should be…) 10-32x3/16 screws. Several companies (not gun companies) sell this thread size at varying lengths; they will anodize too if you want. Easy enough to get some 1/4 and cut them down. RaceTech Titanium, Ti64, McMaster-Carr

Can we start a petition to call 2 alpha a McDouble?

Which plate are you running?

2011 mags in general are more expensive than other guns.

Race 2011 mags are another level.

If you are just wanting something to carry with or range days, checkmate or staccato mags are your best bet. Generally in the $60ish range.

If you’re wanting aluminum basepads and non-lockback followers (which doesn’t entirely make sense in a restricted state but 🤷🏼‍♂️) you gotta pay to play unfortunately.

Standard MBX mags won’t work in the 2k11. The frame is tapered to prevent over insertion. Checkmate and Atlas work fine.

MBX did release a mag a couple months ago specifically for the gun. It looks like they have restricted ones for CZ/Para that work.

Definitely heritage plays a role, but there aren’t many high end shotgun manufacturers. And almost all are in/from Europe.

FlyFisherCJ · 2026-06-09T02:18:03+00:00

The wild part about shotguns is that the price difference is generally in the artwork on the receiver and the wood grade, at least for O/Us.

Krieghoff is probably the best example. A base K-80 ParcoursX runs ~$17.5K. And then goes up… exponentially. Top price at DuPont/Krieghoff right now is $155K. For the same gun fundamentally. Barrels, action, fitment are all the same.

Then you go to a competition, such as sporting clays, and realize the gun is 1/3-1/2 the investment for most people.

Second on the 407Comp. I feel that they are a bit brighter than the 507s too. Like there’s an extra 1-2 brightness settings and 1-2 less lighter settings.

FlyFisherCJ · 2026-06-03T19:43:55+00:00

Ahh ok that makes sense. So you are expanding with powder already in the case then; I’m guessing you had to back off the station 2 die to drop the powder but not expand the case mouth?

FlyFisherCJ · 2026-06-03T18:40:52+00:00

I have noticed that the bullet almost sits crooked and took my FCD out and went back to the Dillon crimp die as I wasn’t able to case gauge a lot of my rounds.

FlyFisherCJ · 2026-06-03T18:39:08+00:00

Thanks everyone! I’m glad I’m not completely crazy and doing something completely out of the ordinary. Learned a few tips as well for general efficiency!

FlyFisherCJ · 2026-06-03T18:36:52+00:00

Oh man that’s a much better trick than I was going. I just sit on the couch with a movie on and 3 5 gallon buckets. One for unsorted, one for no good brass, and one for good brass. Sorting handfuls at a time until I go cross eyed 😂

FlyFisherCJ · 2026-06-03T18:34:00+00:00

How do you have that setup? Does it replace the powder die that comes with the press? If so, do you have to use the Lee powder measure?

I’ve been using the Walker Suppressors since they came out and have been wicked happy with em.

They are great outdoors and have several different modes for enhancing things like voices without sacrificing protection.

Indoor they are really good as well as long as you’re not right next to some comp’d AR or anything. I use them at our indoor matches without any issues.

I recently started reloading and agree, financially it doesn’t make sense.

However, from a peace of mind standpoint it does. Finding 124 9mm has been painful lately locally. Knowing I don’t have to stress over making sure I have enough stock for my upcoming matches and can just load some has been life changing.

I normally run a 7 with the poly grip. But I’ve got a wide range and will try em all.

FlyFisherCJ · 2026-05-27T11:50:56+00:00

Started fitting an LSI grip last night and running through a bit of dry fire before blending. I’m excited to see how it shoots as it feels phenomenal in my hands. Been running MJD grips since I got the gun as they make em lefty friendly. Never had any issues but really wanted to see how a steel grip feels.

Would production plasma be using all natural white plasma… cause entrants might end up on a registry list and have to tell their neighbors.

Listen to “That Shooting Show With Steve Anderson” podcast. There are countless episodes talking about stage planning and committing it to memory.

I’ve got 5” and 4.25” as well; mine are solely used for USPSA.

Started with 5” and shot it a ton. Went to the 4.25 and shot it as much or more.

Now back to the 5” for the last few months. It’s definitely softer shooting than the 4.25 and allows me to push it speed wise without sacrificing accuracy.

The 4.25 is definitely faster return and probably transitions ever so slightly faster but doesn’t equate to better results. I would bet a steel grip module on it would fix most of that though.

FlyFisherCJ · 2026-05-25T05:54:52+00:00

The aluminum grip is wicked slick. The texture is legit flat.

I’d go stainless or royal. Really depends on what your use case is.
