Insta 360 go Ultra vs go 3s for USPSA / IDPA

Im trying to decide between the insta 360 go ultra or the go 3s. It seems to me that the extra 30fps you get with the ultra (total 60fps) is well worth the extra weight. Does anyone have any experience using the hat brim mount for the ultra and can comment on how it feels/holds up when running around? Thanks in advance

Any PCSL Rifle resources?

I know there's tons of resources for USPSA handgun shooting (Ben, Joel, Hwansik, Christian, JJ etc.) but does anyone have similar recommendations for PCSL Rifle? Looking for someone that really breaks it down from the fundamentals but my Youtube searches just bring up match footage or gear recommendations.

Question: Would this outfit be corny or larpy?

I’m 16 and participate in SASP shooting, I have my own jersey and all that but for other things like USPSA or Steel Challenge im looking into something practical to wear.

I really don’t wanna look like the cringe military kid, but there’s a particular setup I find has a cool factor and is practical. Basically a sleeve cut AOR1 combat shirt for mobility and ventilation, and a BJJ rash guard underneath to help with sweat and rubbing from gear, and on the bottom maybe some jeans, cargo pants/shorts, etc. I also want my content online to have a recognizable look instead of just random clothes.

Any advice is much appreciated!

Mag rebuild kit??

I got a new to me MPA DS9 Hybrid that all 4 mags stopped slide locking. 2 MBX and 2 Brand New Checkmates. I ordered a new slide lock part thinking maybe the lug is wore, it’s on the way. I did glue a tiny piece of flat metal to the top of 1 each of the MBX and checkmate follower to push it up a little more and that worked so I’m bummfuzzeled if it’s the springs with the checkmates brand new.

Before i typed all this i did
Check my grip
Cleaned every mag (they weren’t dirty)
Verified the ones i added the tiny metal flat piece to the follower now slide locked

If it’s not the slide lock part, any other suggestions?

Just for reference in the future who makes a good rebuild kit for these mags. grams said his don’t recommend his follower kits for the MBX tubes

Best free or nearly free shot timer app for Android

I have downloaded a couple and they did not work as expected. I used to have a timer app 15yrs sgo so I know they exist. Can anyone point me st a decent one?

Will almost exclusively be shooting solo, I've heard complaints on some about picking up other shots ect. That will not be an issue for me.

What i need most is a random start beep and first shot timer. Complete string would be great but not absolutely needed.

Point me in right direction?

Glock/Mecgar Spring/Follower Magazine

Looks like Henning is the go to Extension based on the last poll. Do people like the MBX follower? Or…go Mecgar metal 18 rd magazine with Csgr follower and spring to get 25 rounds? RELIABLE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT

Practice with the CO rig

A little piece of my practice session with my Shadow 2 set up for carry Optics. Practice should be challenging and be an example of the challenges you expect to see at the match. This particular setup has entries, exits, throttle control, lateral short movements, and reloads. Good mix. The arrays can be ran several different ways to mix it up and maximize the setup.

Gun for my daughter (26)

Made a post the other day about our venture in shooting our first steel challenge match with our .22 and we definitely want to move into the centerfire stuff and probably USPSA matches. She has a CZ-P10c ported that would put her into open class and I know right now it’s not a big deal but going forward I figured I would get her something she would be in carry optics with. Went down to see what they have and the local spots and found a Walther PDP full size OR at Bomgaar’s on clearance for $379 and they have a sale that knocks another $50 off this Saturday. Originally figured I would get another CZ-p10c or f. But that seems like a smoking deal on the PDP but I’ve read a LOT about the recoil being snappy. So the people that have shot both is it too much for her to deal with and just get the CZ about ($450) is the PDP going to be okay?

Do I break in or not?

Hey, I'm getting a Beretta A400 Xtreme+ this weekend as my all around shotgun. I plan to do 90% clay and 10% hunting. Is there a recommendation to "break it in" or should I just start experimenting with shot size, payload, and velocities until I find the best option?

Salt Lake City Range for Training

I’ll be moving to the Salt Lake City area at the end of the summer and I’ve found USPSA and PCSL matches on PractiScore. However, it looks like the Big Salty Range doesn’t allow people to train out there—they only host classes and matches.

So my question is where does everyone train at for action shooting outdoors? BLM land or is there a range with bays I haven’t been able to find?

O/U Stock Questions

Anyone know if butt stocks are fairly universal on Over Unders?

I have a 12 gauge gun made by Fratelli Gamba and badged as a Rottweil Trap Montreal '99.

It has a cast off stock and I'm a lefty and need a cast in. I've seen buttstocks from other Gamba shotguns for sale as well as a cast in lefty buttstock made for an SKB that looks very similar to what's on my Rottweil only righty.

Will any of these fit? How does one go about getting an exact replacement of a buttstock?
