Great match yesterday! And a really nice facility too!
There were 20+ shooters and broad mix of age and experience. Also exciting was a pretty balanced mix of pump / auto guns & the autos split pretty evenly tube / box.
Glad to see the seasoned professionals dragging the rest of us along.
Lots of practical experience was gained. Equipment, technique and mental fitness were all being tested and I think most shooters learned something. Everyone seemed to have a great time.
Some of my takeaways:
I realized on the drive home why I performed so poorly. I didn't have any hecklers to help improve my game, so I'll be looking forward to the next one!
Looking for a Dummkoph Squad who will shout at / pelt me with empty hulls, wood or (little) rocks. Ducks, maybe... No churches.

Some of my takeaways:
- 4+1 is a struggle, but the same struggle for all of us. Don't miss, those rounds are precious.
- most stages had zero or five round starting limit - but all sections of each stage required at least 5, usually 6 engagements.
- After loading the first round into the chamber, don't cycle the action again after filling the tube
- Reloading tubes 2 at a time is a huge time-saver
- Avoid shell colors that match the ground color
- Takes about as long as a round of golf
- You can skip arm day next week
