We could run fix time every stage, its always faster to score a FTE,

People just need to shoot faster

It was a fun match, good stages, I thought stage 5 was particular well designed, lots of risk vs reward on that stage. But as the day dragged on, eating pizza and drinking beer won out over waiting to shoot the last stage. Sorry to my squad for making you clean up shorthanded.

Think I'm going to shoot SS this match

thanks

Ugh, you're going to shoot revolver for another 2 years? Why punish yourself like that

JJ,(2 Divisions) Mike D (4 Divisions) and myself (1 Division)

It must be the 1800's technology

Revolver guys are falling behind

What's the comment at the end of the video about?

I would have the ramp cut when the barrel is being installed, makes everything easier for the builder to be able to make sure the VIS and bed are correct for the barrel. Primer, were you planning on doing the rest of the work yourself?

Generally No.

A quick video of 2 of the stages. I was shooting 308. 10 round mags, but since I didn't have any mag pouches, I taped mags end to end. Ghetto, but it worked. Unfortunately the extractor gave out half way thru the match

Thanks Vlad. I had done some smaller matches before, nothing this big. Thanks for the help before and during the match

Thanks for coming to the match, glad you enjoyed it. I would like to thank everyone that helped me with the match, it would never had happened if it wasn't for everyone's hard work.

The 100 yard stage will have steel targets, so please no steel core/ perpetrator bullets on this stage. If it attracts a magnet, don't use it. The stages will have time limits. they will be generous but are needed to keep the match moving. I still need help with building the stages, sooner they are built, sooner we can start.

I don't 100% faith in the BOD to do the right thing here. There have been a lot of recent issues with the way the board is handling its business. Doodie project trolls are going to frenzy around the biggest scandel (usually created by themselves), there is no way to stop those nuthuggers. But it looks like they finally found something that actually has some truth to it. My experience with Hendrix at 2013 A8 was very poor, the whole squad was yelled at as we were walking to the stage. He was going on about how the tent was just for ROs. We hadn't even got to the tent yet

A little bit more info about the match. Slings aren't needed and can't be used to carry the rifle from stage to stage. Rifle will need to be in a case or on a cart.

I think longevity is very important point. I'm will to pay for that in a handgun. After 4 years of shooting a $600 1911 will start to come apart, accuracy will fall off fast. The loose fit and quality of the parts just won't last. A $3K will still lock up tight and be accurate. I would assume shotguns are the same. I'm just starting to get into clay shooting. I'm not at the point where I would spend over $2k for the gun, but if I starting shooting it as much as I do handguns. I will be looking for a gun that will last

Definitely can use stages

200 rounds, if you shoot 2 on each target

Thanks for posting about the match, Jim. If anyone has any questions about the match. PM me here or use my email above In case any one doesn't know, time plus scoring will be. 2 shot anywhere on the target (1 shot anywhere for 308) or 1 A zone hit. Misses or failure to shoot at will add time to your score. One of the stages will have weak hand shooting and possibly urban prone.

The elbow to rib doesn't work well for reloading on the move either. I have changed my reload a lot over the years trying all sorts of different positions, heights, flips. I'm back to the D reload that TJ showed me in 2009. For some reason this is my natural method of reloading no matter how much I fight it

Flip the gun using your strong hand, not your weak hand as shown in the Ruger video. It adds zero time to your reload
