Dont worry about it man. My first match was a last month and though I didnt place well, I had fun. Everyone will appreciate you taking your time and showing you can be safe. Everyone is super helpful and fun to be around. SEE YOU THERE

Buell 508. Glad to see you joined us. Dont worry dont push it. Just enjoy the moment when youre shooting. We all had a first time. Just pay attention to the important rules. Youll get the lowdown from tom for new shooter orientation. Any questions just ask. I still do.

The most important thing to know, after being safe, is that you can't shoot fast enough to miss. Don't worry about the timer. Be smooth and efficient.

I think "You cant miss fast enough to win" is the quote you were looking for.

General rules for Somerset (and pretty much every other match around here) are as follows:

 

1. Be safe

2. Have fun

3. Shoot well

 

...and in my observations, you can add speed to accuracy, but you cannot add accuracy to speed.

You say tomatoe, I say don't miss.

I don't have the accuracy to add speed to.  Please, no spinning targets this time

hahah forgot about that one...was a doozy

Thanks see you all there

Argh. Need scores. I want to torture myself with my lack of abilities today with the proof on paper. A glutton for punishment.

Thank you

Wow that first stage on the right-hand side was something else.  Looked so easy, yet I don't think I have ever seen a stage generate so many FTN's ever.

Yeah we all second that. Lucky me. I was the first shooter and it was on that stage I wanted to cry after i saw all my misses. It was ugly. How about that pop up target on the last stage. I wonder how many hits miculek could of gotten on paper.

Tom gave me the OK to take a picture of it before the match.  I got it from the left side which does not show the two swinging no shoots in front of it.  I think the hardest part was that there was only one shot on each target, thus it was much easier to get an FTN on these than normal stages where you are shooting two (or more) shots on a target.  I think I was one of the lucky ones on the last stage, landing a down zero and a down one on that fast moving pop up and hide target.

 

I found that to be an interesting and tough stage . Before shooting it I thought gee great , do not have to worry about recoil as much (from my rather large gun). Did not consider the FTN factor until I saw everyone earning them . 

I caught that Sandra!  

Caught what ???

My third unique mention in you sig silly.

Now how do you know I mean you and not some other Howard ?

Howard. You the man on this stage. The left side you kicked ass. On the right side. Well. You still did better than most.

Howard did you get all three hits on the last stage pop up target. I thought no one got three hits on it.

No only got two hits, a down zero and down one. But I was quite happy with that.

That was better than most. Next time extra tape so we dont have to do tricky shooting stages.
