Sig226GuyNJ 128 Posted September 16, 2015 So it looks like November has 5 Sundays. Are there any plans to hold another Carbine match that month? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vlad G 345 Posted September 17, 2015 Double edit: Yes November 5th weekend is scheduled for a Shotgun Action match at OB. Think like the carbine match was, but with shotguns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vlad G 345 Posted September 17, 2015 Damn. Was hoping for another carbine match. Maybe next year. Well .. you have a lot of time between now and then to buy a shotgun. I'll probably design a stage for it again that will involve busting doors in a fairly stylized way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing against a Shotgun match, it's just not for me. I wish you luck though! You guys run some awesome matches. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sig226GuyNJ 128 Posted October 8, 2015 Vlad, please consider running a carbine match for the extra Sunday in January. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted October 8, 2015 Vlad, please consider running a carbine match for the extra Sunday in January. a) it isn't me running it b) lots of people like shotguns c) the best way to make things happen is to volunteer a lot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sig226GuyNJ 128 Posted October 8, 2015 a) it isn't me running it b) lots of people like shotguns c) the best way to make things happen is to volunteer a lot a) My apologies. Forgot this one is at Old Bridge. b) That surprises me. c) Unfortunately at this stage in my life, I have very little free time as it is, but do appreciate all the volunteers work.

Jim Norman 5 Posted October 8, 2015 Volunteering takes many shapes. Design a stage, Show up early to help build a stage, Lick up the timer. You don't have to run the match, just help out a little. If everyone that shoots drew one stage a year we could never hope to shoot them all! 30 additionaminutes at the range in the morning on match day can get the match started earlier and therefore finished earlier.

Vlad G 345 Posted October 9, 2015 b) That surprises me. Why, shotguns are a thinking man's tool. I used to think they were annoying but I've grown out of that silliness Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, I don't feel experienced enough to run the timer or design stages. I'd help build stages too, but I have a two year old son at home who demands his daddy-son time in the mornings. I would love to design a stage though. I'd make it a 30+ round count stage. Why, shotguns are a thinking man's tool. I used to think they were annoying but I've grown out of that silliness I don't know. Just never got into shot guns much. I don't think they're annoying or anything like that. It's just not my thing.

Vlad G 345 Posted October 9, 2015 Shotguns are for guys that can't aim a pistol slug properly. I figured you or someone like you would say that. Thing is ... you have 3 types of ammo to worry about, various patterns, various chokes, no-shoots get REALLY interesting, targets are usually smaller, etc. Of all the 3 guns I find the shotgun to be the one that forces me to think the most about how and where and when I'm going to use it. And planning its reloads is worst the revolver, so you should love it. All your trolling aside, I used to think that shotguns were no fun, anachronistic relics and we should all dump them. Well, they are still relics, but I've learned to appreciate them a lot more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alec.mc 180 Posted October 9, 2015 I'm especially bitter about long guns because i'm a righty, but a left eye dominant shooter. Thus, I need to shoulder all long guns as a lefty. Which sucks. But seriously. This should sum it up. Derp. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted October 9, 2015 Tell me about you semi-auto system that advanced your retarded moon clips on your belt? Crap, I'm shocked you are not all over shotguns, given your natural predisposition for monoculars, top hats, and other bits of two century old equipment. On a more serious note the lefty/righty thing does kinda suck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just not my thing. Sig, my comments were aimed in general, not specifically at you or anyone else. Just for the record, anyone that ever designed a stage at one point designed their first stage and I can assure you everyone felt they were too inexperanced to do so. SOme of us really were, but we learned. If you aor anyone else designs a stage the only things we will do to it are make sure it is asfe and witin the rules. We may offer a liitle advice to make it work better if you build in movers. Home time with the kids is the number one priority, you'll be surprised how fast it will pass.
