I ****ed myself on Stage 4 by not being able to get the spinner to spin with my shotgun. That was a 60 second penalty... :-( I also completely missed a popper on Stage 3 with my pistol.

I don't get why it has everyone listed as Tac Optics... I was registered as Tactical Irons.

It would also be nice if the scoresheet were more IDPA-esque with the stage breakdowns.

Either way the match was definitely a blast! I'll be back for sure... And I'll be back with chokes in my shotgun! LOL

I thought the purpose was to shoot it fast enough so it wouldn't spin and you wouldn't have to ambush the plates if it did spin. I didn't think you had to let it spin as per the rules, maybe I have it wrong when it comes to this.
Will you be shooting the limited class at York as well? How did you do with the extended rifle shots and the iron sights?

You're thinking of a Texas Star... Put one of those in front of me and I'll nail the hell out of it.

This was a spinner... It's on the left of the video at the end. You had to make it spin one full revolution to count. My gun didn't have the choke and/or high brass shells to do it from the same position as everyone else and I wasn't able to think on the fly enough to load more than 2 shells and try to drive it over :tdown:

Oh and **** your snicker at 1:02 Stu LOL

Corey G · Apr 16, 2012

I was defaintly rusty, the heat kinda nuked me after the 2 hr wait for group 1 as well. Have to get back in the every shoot does not have to be an A and faster with a few C's are okay.

Ah now I understand. Dude I chuckled myself when you commented on the 2 round load and I watched it in the vid. I may be wrong but it looks like you did that 2 round load twice and almost a 3rd time. Looked like a fun stage. Thanks for sharing this hopefully I learned something from it and will not make that mistake. Look forward to meeting you up at York I thin Anthonyjhallen is shooting with your team? I met him last month at the fun shoot in York, we had a good time that day.

Numidian · Apr 16, 2012

Yep, I'm shooting with Anthony and Brandon up at the 3m3g.

yeah the key with the spinner was a) get close, b) shoot it head on, not at an angle, and c) start on it with a full tube. once you stop shooting at it, it loses momentum very quickly.

i tried to double tap it but the spinner was pretty much horizontal in the time it took for my second shot to hit, so didn't help but also didn't hurt. then i waited briefly and hit it again and thankfully it turned. we were joking that maybe for the next one need to load 3" or even 3 1/2" #6 which should help get the job done.

I guarantee you I'll be running high brass #6 next time :lol2:

Whether I get chokes by then or not :lol:

Yeah, our squad was huge for some reason (17 shooters). I think the waiting and resetting fatigued me more than anything else. I'm bringing a chair, next time.

folks with magnification definitely had an advantage in stage 1, the other stages not so much.

Jerry was saying that for the next one, there are going to be some 350+/- yard shots at the next match.

CrawfishStu · Apr 18, 2012

350 yard shot with a red dot for the win.

Great, more guns and equipment to buy and more training to do.

Thanks guys. Looks like a lot of fun.

CrawfishStu · Apr 18, 2012

It was a lot of fun. Particularly because I never get the change to use my guns like that outside of a match.

BenL · Apr 18, 2012

Shooting at the 150 yard steel plates through the woods was oddly satisfying.

Negative ghostrider. I think I could have done better with my muzzle loader.

Were you shooting a red dot?

CrawfishStu · Apr 18, 2012

Yes. I couldn't even tell there were 6 targets downrange if I hadn't looked through the spotting scope.
