Yeah, I know. I know I'm no super-sniper by any means, not by a long shot, but man today was just BAD.
I think it might be beneficial to the new shooters to get a reminder in the shooter's meeting to do absolutely nothing until the SO gives the command. We had some folks jumping the gun on unloading, showing clear, dropping the hammer...sorry "pull the trigger" that needed some guidance. But, we had an advanced shooter do the same thing. I hear one plans to shoot a major soon- they will fix that for him real quick like
A whole nuther level of pain is bringing one of your maximum suck days to a major match . I know this
I think there would be a lot to be said for a 'canned' new shooters orientation, maybe someday. Have had good luck with asking folks (all skill levels) to repeat the unload and show clear if it happened quickly without prompting, seems like they are quick to figure out you are going to be a pain in the arse about it. I wish you could take time off a score for the folks who take their time and keep the muzzle pointed down or at least level.
The major match s.o. thing was eye opening, having the whole squad wandering about with weapons loaded takes some getting used to.
WSSC has started an outline for the "New Shooter Orientation". It's far from being a "canned" orientation but it's a start.
Does anyone ever shoot more than one pistol or revolver at the IDPA match?
Thanks
"I cannot stress this enough-If you sign up for a squad and I have entered you into our Kindles for the Practiscore, DO NOT JUMP TO ANOTHER SQUAD.
You have to deleted from one squad, entered into another and doing that minutes before a match starts is not what I need to be doing, when I'm trying to get the Kindles to the proper squads, showing shooters on that squad how it works or answering any questions about Practiscore."
Given the choice, it is always good to be the omega test site .
I don't know what all of this means but it sounds serious. For sure I'll be keeping my kindle on the squad I sign on to from now on!
I just start reading assuming he's completely lost his mind...
Ok, bring me your G19 and I'll shoot factory 9mm.So are we shooting anything out of the ordinary this Saturday? Low round count so now would be the perfect time to break out the non-standard arms. I'm thinking of maybe a compact 9mm or even my compact .45...

I don't think I can take another spray and pray like last Saturday.
That, and I think I might almost have enough for a 42-round event.
On a side-note, you going to WSSC or RB anytime before Saturday?
