Thanks Jared,
I'll definitely be trying to capture more video in this upcoming season
I still don't get the open gun hate. I guess I understand after shooting that last dog and pony show in where peoples jaws dropped and said it was the fastest shooting they ever seen. You know the thought of "How can I compete? I know..." comes around. But if you think I can't run an SP01 as fast or faster out if a Bladetech - your wrong.
*ahem*
I'd say you were taking a few liberties in terms of the word practicality. Now that that's out of the way.
Each time you gripe about ghost holsters or open guns, a little kitten cries, so let me try and zen it down for you.
Now I know in open class, there are times where even a few tenths of a second separate the winners from losers. Suffice to say, open class guns and equipment are designed for speed first retention second.
Now you may think this is a blanket statement, but look at it this way, some shooting competitions have roots in practicality and reality. Do professionals wear ghost holsters every day? no. What they do is wear something designed for retention/comfort first speed second, such as a belt or inside the waistband holster.
No professional I know wears magnetic mag pouches, ghost holsters, and mega compensated pistol with a 2 lbs trigger pull.
Not many limitations on rifle or shotgun because there aren't too many modification/additions that can be done that would give you a significant advantage over the other. Everyone has a rifle that follows the basic formula.
I don't know why there are so many different options for pistols
You were great to shoot along side, awesome to watch, and I love you like a brother man, but I do not know why you insist on doing the soap box thing every time someone mentions the PR3G rules.
Noone hates the open guns, but maybe you open gunners are too serious!!!.
If you can run your SP01 out of a bladetech holster, why aren't you? there are plenty of other competitions out there that do allow you to run the open pistol without question. Are you not in effect, the initiator of your own frustrations?.
How about this, if you decide to run an open gun at another 3 gun, you can be subjected to the same rules and regs as everybody else, but you will not get special treatment either. Meaning, if it rains, I am coming over there and ripping your gun cozy off your pistol and you will be expected to run it in the rain exposed to the elements just like everyone else
I'll bring a water drum to setup a "run through the rain fall" entry on each pistol stage.
