I've resisted getting a slide racker on my USPSA Open Division pistol for a few years now. Didn't really see the need for it, until I shot a few major matches. There's always one or two stages that required you to load the gun while on the clock and I've always struggled with it. Racking my slide by pinching it is not the most efficient way to do it and always makes me nervous doing it.
So during the winter downtime I consulted with John from JPL Precision, my gunsmith, and he figured out a way to install it on my gun.
And O.M.G. what a different the racker makes. Now I feel a lot more confident while loading on the clock. Getting the racker installed also made me think about the other mods I used to have on my gun and went about streamlining everything. This made everything lighter, improved the balance of the gun and made gun handling easier.
I like it and you should to (if you don't have one yet)
Fabulous weather to shoot this year's Trigger Treat Halloween Match. Decided to try a Jedi since I've shot the match as a follower of the dark side the past few years. It was fun!

* New USPSA Area One stage
* Night mode in main menu
* Fix custom stage scoring
* Fix menu selection bug
Enjoy!

WTF is all i can say about my shooting performance. Here's my list of excuses: hurt by strong hand a week before, new trigger fitted but not tuned, no practice, blah blah blah.
The match was super fun though! lots of steel, fast movements and that one stage where we shot from a moving Gator! so bloody fun. Thanks to the Custer Mooseketeers for setting up this match.

Week #31. After much cajoling by the community over the past few months, I've relented and implemented Waypoint locomotion. Now you can specify waypoints during the stage using the GRIP button, then after the buzzer, hold down GRIP for more than 1s to instantly teleport to the next waypoint. That way you can plan your stage positions before starting, and move through the stage without messing with trackpad or teleporting locomotion styles. Give it a shot and let me know how it works. I'm surprised to say that I'm pretty impressed with the playability of it.
Changelog v0.43
* Waypoint Locomotion
* New USPSA Long Course
* Allow movement in passages
* Swapped clamshell for Flap-Up Target in Gallery
* Fixed disable movement override
* Fixed connecting menu activators
* Fixed shot calling stage start problem
* Fixed stage designer loading issue
Enjoy!

This was a bad one. For some reason, none of the 14 stages clicked for me. Kept doing stupid stuff, or shooting extra shots because I was sloppy. Nothing much to say here but, "on to the next" :)
Congrats to all of the winners!
