Thanks to everyone for making my first Steel Challenge a success! From the event organizers, to the squad RSO's and shooters, all of them welcoming, patient, and instructive. I really only had three requirements of myself, those being to shoot safely, have fun, and not come in last...all three were satisfied! But ugh, did I really need to start this experience with the Double Helix on my first stage.I saw that in my sleep all night
Felt like I had something like a working strategy this time for the other moving targets but I really can’t figure out an approach for the helix, yesterday I timed out with two plates left. Seems like one approach is to get a few shots off real fast before it gets momentum, but inevitably you end up with something like a tough split in bowling except the pins are flying around in an unpredictable pattern.
). Putting the "gatekeepers" (TX star, PP rack, and helix) at the end was nice so that the less advanced shooters could have some fun engaging stationary targets first, and not burn the clock (and ammo) on the movers at the very beginning. Combined with the tractor mods, they seemed to clean up very quickly too!
. Maybe just one big stage with some movement?
