Looks like fun (again). Sorry I missed it.

Hats off to Ryan for the stage designs and the whole crew for setting up a great match!

Might have to change that November MG match to SSG...

Did Craig's Saiga-12 function properly through the match?

Did anyone else's?

Craig was in my squad and as far as I know, his performed perfectly. I heard that at least one of the others had problems, but didn't see it.

4th place. Not bad. One fumbled reload away from 2nd

Mine had some gas issues on the second half of the match, but all in all did well.

Finished just shy of middle of the pack, but came in second in my class! I'm pretty happy considering I had one big screw-up and it was my first match of this type!

Okay ... I'm keeping track of the number of times a modified Saiga-12 completes a match without any trouble.

We're up to . . . one.

Did Brian The Butcher run an Xrail?

Oh yeah, the Butcher ran the Xrail and if he shot well I'm sure cleaned all the stages...

My first stage my gun ran well but it went to poop then. Stage 8 I think I got 20 was my first stage.
What sucks is I went to my club yesterday and could load and dump 10 round AGPs like a Pmags in a AR. 3 full mags 3 times each were glitch free. Felt like king of the world.
Today I was really frustrated.
I also noted that the chute guys had trouble today as well but not as much.
Brian told me on the way out he initally had a spring issue with his xrail but got it going. Heck he can throw shells faster than most of us can shoot.
I wont rest till this gun runs like it did stock.
Joe I know you have to believe me that this will run as well as that pile of poo in the red case that you wont sell me back

I wont blow smoke but I have broke one of the rules as far as doing one mod at a time. I have totally revamped my S12 and it was running well at the last Wildcat match till I did the comp before it was proven with the magwell for a while. Its been a gas system battle since then.

Give me time and you will say you knew me when my gun had bad days, and you will still be one dead sexy man.


Edit to add I got to shoot with some outstandning guys today. Made a bad gun day a good match day.

Sweet, my first match in 3years and first time shooting my 1100 in 3 years, I finished 21st out of 35; I'm pretty happy about that!

Our group started on Stage 4 and I was ranked #35 on that stage... haha

OK here's a montage of all the videos I shot yesterday. It's about the max of my editing abilities but it's just not my thing!

I gotta say.... that just looks bad-ass!

 

[barryG]

As for the Saiga's. We are still in the early days. Kinda like 1911s in the 70s or Competition ARs in the 90s. We will get the bugs ironed out.

Very true. As an old engineer told me once, "There aren't too many problems you can't fix with enough time and money".

Curious about why they use par times versus just letting them shoot all steel? Pressure to get more done in a set time?

I think the pressure was a great factor. The match would have slowed way down if we had to reset that much steel for every shooter and wait for all those pump guys to finish

 

[BillD]

I would venture to say it's a time issue. One could spend most of the time on the COF reloading.

For example, if one is shooting a 5 shot pump and reloading it one at time from some sort of pouch, it could take just about forever to shoot a high round count steel course.

There is such a difference between the speed loaded shotgun and mag loaded shotguns compared to the manual, stuff them in one at a time gun that the top guys don't get to shoot much on a COF that the casual shooter could finish in a reasonable time.

I was curious, how many shooters and how long did the match take?
