Isn't there some rule about safeties being on as well..or something like that, Jeff

I'd give you 40 million rep points for this if it were possible!

Is this just how you guys say good job last Saturday ?

You did shoot well last week, my friend!

Of course, compared to my pathetic run everyone looked like a DM out there

So far, the only person who I haven't seen have a bad day this year is O'Bradovich, and I think he did a reasonably good job of doing the dry fire & reloads over the winter.

My theory is that if you stop practicing/shooting you can still have good days, but it will catch you out eventually.

On the bright side, there were a big gob of scores right around 60, seems like as a shooting group we have the suck graph headed in the right direction.

Oh yeah, you can tell he's taken it to the next level and he had a great run Saturday. Brad told me he's been hitting dryfire and livefire training pretty hard. It shows!

I think you're theory is right. I seem to be proving it

I didn't dryfire as much as I should have over the winter months, but did get some in while working grit out of the m&p, which in turn helped even with the CZ last weekend I believe. Funny thing is, I didn't feel overly fast or like I was really getting sights set properly, but maybe felt a bit more instinctual? (is that a word?)

Some dude called Miculek once said that when you are running at your peak performance level it won't feel fast.

I can sympathize a bit, I think Saturday was the most point shooting I've done in a while

Ah yes, but how on earth can 12 in 2.97(?) not feel fast?

Off-topic question, I was thinking of a modified version of one of the stages we did Saturday, I think it was the picnic one from the Kolonel. Anywho, is there any rule against have two separate tac. sequences in the same string?
I was thinking of doing that with a couple mag changes, 2 or 3 rounds per mag, 5 targets..... maybe throw a couple headshots in for the finale?

Really visualizing it, feels more like a drill than a COF.

I think that would be legit. Might be cool to have all mags on the table for that scenario.

Hrm, not a bad idea. Maybe have one on the table and have the shooter required to draw first mag from holster, even though there will be one right in front of them, sort of a trip-up. Might be too much stuff going on there, I'm making it more complex than anyone probably needs.

It's official (meaning the wife approved it) I will be shooting in Owensboro tomorrow! She is pretty awesome.

Course looks like it will be fun, also a long day.

You'll be done a lot faster than you think. And then you'll ask yourself "how is it that these stages with twice as many rounds and twice as many shooters finishes almost twice as fast as my normal IDPA matches??"

It's impressive how quickly a match can move when literally everyone on the squad pastes and resets

Have to say that the last few matches & qualifiers have gone pretty fast, acknowledging that the weather has cut attendance a bit. For USPSA, posting the cof's on-line probably helps some too, maybe reduces the # of questions, shooters are more prepared?

Continuing this line of thought... I actually don't mind a match that goes a little longer... Being a noob, one of the things I took away from the Sellersburg match was how hard & fast we were being herded through. Again, was my first "big" match since college days so I was hoping to take in the sights & sounds a bit more. Although, the awards & drawing afterwards did afford the opportunity to meet & greet.

For the experienced competitors with several of these types of matches under your belts there's probably a higher priority on getting through a bit faster. One of my goals is to get to that point!

Yeah, Sellersberg was a bit of a blur for more than a few reasons. I never felt like I did get a chance to prep or even be a spectator but I did have an insane amount of fun and cannot wait to do it again this year! I haven't attended a match in a long time where I felt like I could just be a shooter and take it all in; not complaining at all I would most likely go crazy if I just stood there and watched LOL

It gets interesting when you hit a bay at a major and there's two or three courses of fire there. Walk throughs are done on all of them back to back, squad splits up and shoots each in turn and all courses are pasted and reset at the same time. That moves a match through quickly but you've got to be on your mental game to get it all in.

Split up? Like we did at RB last time, shoot one, shoot two, score/paste, repeat?

that is sort of the way I took it. It does help when you have a mega-size squad to do it that way.

Wow, you are asking a lot there bucko! Some folks who'll remain nameless, couldn't handle two targets in tac sequence and two head shots last week!!!

 

[sbcman]

Similar but not exact, more like in a squad of 12, 6 line up on one COF and 6 on the other (or 4 to each cof if there's 3 courses). After the 2 or 3 shooters go then everyone goes and pastes each course up.

Oh, I'll name names- ME! LOL

The only redeeming part of my day was my 357 BUG run. Thankfully it had sufficient awesomeness to make up for an otherwise terrible shooting day. I think it's a revolver thing with me. I'm already looking forward to running ESR again.

Cleaning out the storage building yesterday I found a target with no pasters and powder burns. I'm thinking it belongs to you.
