Check your equipment

Just a friendly reminder as many of us are heading to Perry or are currently at Canton. Check your equipment. In my case I just realized I shot the Service 900 at Cardinal with a loose rear sight. Check your scope rings, check your rear/front sights, make sure no pins or screws are loose.

Ouch. I once had a MatchDot lose it's internal mirror in the 45 match at Canton - but at least that's instantly noticeable.

Funny you should mention that!

i shot a match last weekend. Started out with a 95 slow fire target and noticed on the last couple of targets of the match that the groups were opening up a bit. It was hot out, and I figured I was just getting a bit tired.

The next day I got the pistol out and the rail had loosened up on the slide, and the scope had loosened up on the rail. Something I regularly check, but neglected to do so.

It really was not too bad all things considered, I was able to keep most of the short line on the repair center. Not the best case scenario but I still enjoyed that match.

This is a great reminder! Not a lot of people think to check this before shooting an event where a lot of money and time is invested (lodging, gas, food, time off from work, etc) thank you!

yes thanks just changed my batteries. 
yea

Thanks for the reminder! Making the trek to Atterbury in a week and between travel, fees and lodging it costs about as mutch as the rest of my year's shooting
