The CZickness XXI...Finally of legal age

[KJQ6945]

OK peoples. This was just great fun.

I tried to tell you this years ago...

 

[Areoflyer09]

Went fine. Nobody showed with shirts. So it went fine.

What did you run?

 

[KJQ6945]

And, how did you do?

 

[churchmouse]

Ran the Shadow and I did well enough. Most stages were clean but not fast.
I screwed the pooch on one string and got dinged. Twice.......

Dyslexia.

Prepping 2 bedrooms this weekend for new carpet being installed on Monday. Then repeat it next weekend for the master bedroom. Gonna try and make a small range trip in the morning though before the wind and rain moves in.

I did that a couple of years back, but whole house done in 2 days if I recall correctly... that was some work. Nothing like moving everything out and right back in. Like moving without going anywhere.

The cupboard is officially bare. Campbell's Bean with Bacon soup. Too lazy to cook and didn't want fast food.

Got some Bean with Bacon in my cupboard as well. And anymore if it's left up to me to fend for myself, I do about the same.

I should go out there and watch some time. Never done the gun games. Would like to, but would like to be able to practice the course of fire with no pressure before being on the clock. I know folks say just go do it, but I may just have to watch it go at least one time before doing it live.

Th course is set up for the event. I understand it changes every week.

Its ok. On the qualifier round for the thing me and KJQ went to, I double tapped every one of those SOB's left to right and again and again. Knew I wasn't supposed to and still kept doing it because of brain farts. But hey, i killed them paper targets dead lol

Ran Limited. Finished 6th out of 11 and I had 2 (3) second dings.

I learned a bit. I will have to address a few things if I want to do this. Equipment is fine. My technique needs tuned up for this.

You were just making sure you neutralized the paper cut threat.

No extra points for that?

The first time I went I'm pretty sure I was last in my class.

I was the same way with Service Rifle and MNS matches and went to both just to watch. Half way through and I wish I was shooting.

It did let me practice and know what to expect before my first matches and made for more relaxed first matches.

Although you won't have the same stage setups for practicing steel matches, to me, it is all about fast and smooth transitions from target to target. Just make sure you set up several targets and practice transitioning.

I feel a little like I'm cheating when I run the Shadow 2.

 

[Trigger Time]

I need to try this at least once this year

Looks like you did better than you thought. Trust me its ALOT more fun in the spring and summer.Glad you gave it a shot! I'm pretty sure next month(April) there will be a Star match on Thursday evening. Its NOT THAT TOUGH!

1. Enjoyed all the comments and learning what I can from them. Sounds like a fun time for all.
2. I'll look forward to placing last my first time. I think it will be great fun to see myself improve like at the range with paper targets except with the time element and eyes watching it will add pressure to the mix: doesn't sound a bit boring.
3. I was talking to the owner of Atkinson Firearms (Sean), a couple of days ago, and found out he has participated in all kinds of matches, so I plied him with questions about strings, stages and the like, trying to make sense of the methodology of the Steel Matches.
4. I was going to go and just watch a match to learn, but it sounds like I would be sorry if I didn't go to shoot, and just start at the bottom and make all the newbie mistakes and be better prepared the next month.
5. I'm really looking forward to it.
6. It seems there are different classes to enter with different rules of types of guns and rounds in mags and all that I'll have to learn about to know which to "enroll" in.
