It appears as if the weather will dry up around noon today and stay that way through the end of Sunday. That said, Rick has four stages designed that can be run mostly from the gravel, so we should be good to go for a safe and fun match.
The match is nearly full with only 1 slot open. If something has come up, PLEASE withdraw ASAP to make room for any last minute entries and also so that we have time to make adjustments to ensure the squads are not lopsided.
We will be hosting a match set up party on Saturday at 2:30 pm. Anyone who is willing to help is encouraged to bring their mud boots and gloves. We will offer AGC range badge credits for the time volunteers spend with us that day.
Other than that, we look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.

You are welcome to park in any of the bays with the understanding that your vehicle may take fire. But you will be a hero for adding a new dimension to the experience.

OK, so bring twice that. Got it!
Actually, I think I did fairly well on accuracy last time, but who knows what tricks the devious MD is gonna pull!

I set up the shoots, get you guys to show up, count the money, and spend the money on the new targets (spent another $2500 today). Rick is the devious one who makes things difficult for you.
I can tell you to expect the spinner that seems to give so many shooters (Art/Katie
) problems. You might want to bring an extra box of bird shot if you have had a hard time with it in the past.

I think I have it fingered out with some rookie 'rithmetic:
Even though there are two portions of it that can be shot, it is ONE target, right?. So, one shot at it should be the difference between a FTE and a 10 second FTN penalty. Ten seconds of penalty and getting on with my life vs. a forever's worth of reloading...hmmm...
Furthermore, whatever amount of time spent dealing with blasting and reloading (repeat) at that one target is precious seconds slipping away out of the 120 par time that ends it all. Penalties are added AFTER the clock runs out...so, given the choice of maybe eventually conquering the spinner or being able to at least shoot my pistol a little bit...
One way or another, I don't plan on spending much time at the spinner...but who knows what will happen
Art is out of money. Bring extra for Katie, pleaseI’ll bring extra for Art
I usually figure twice as being a safe bet. Planning my loadout for 2 shooters (at 2x)...that's a fair chunk of ammo

The spinner is considered one target. Failure to Engage it at all would result in a 45 second penalty. Failure to Neutralize (spin one full rotation) would result in a 30 second penalty. I would recommend going into the stage with a budget (number of shells/time) that you are going to spend on that target. This of course will depend on how many other shotgun targets there are, how many rounds your gun will hold, and how many you can keep on your person. Personally, I wouldn't spend anymore than 10 seconds and/or 6 shots to get it to spin. If you cant do it within your budget, then move on and take the 30 second penalty.
Tip: Start with a double tap of the large bottom target. Then follow up with a shot or two on the top once it swings around. If the stars align, then it should only take 3-4 shells to neutralize it.
Another great event! 
. I'll try to put some videos up tomorrow. It's been a loooong 2A week for us (what felt like a lifetime in Annapolis, MSI gun show booth duty, a little range time Saturday, and 3gun today...oh yeah and having to try to fit a little bit of work around all that 
). As the kids say, "I can't even." 
By the time I get the guns at least wiped down and put away, I'm going to collapse for tonight.
Thanks to all who made it happen

I think Katie got it over in 3. I'm not sure how many I used, but I DID get it over.
(That newfangled autoloading shotgun, what with its choke and all might have helped...definitely easier to doubletap than the pump 
)
Another great day of shooting. Did ok but those little squares on the shotgun stage are a pain in the ass with a pistol at that distance. (I shot 2 gun)
Now I have the itch to buy a 3 gun shotgun, thanks a lot, lol.
