The Official Redbrush/WSSC IDPA Thread

Aiming smaller will force you to slow down naturally. How much speed you willing to sacrifice?

Thinking a little harder on this... What I've found happens with me (won't presume to speak for others) is if I aim small on my first shot on each target, it takes .1 or .2 secs longer but I can make subsequent shots much faster than I was ever comfortable attempting last year. I've come to trust that they will be in the down zero or in the neighborhood, as long as I make sure my 1st shot on each target is where it is supposed to be. Whatever I lose by aiming smaller out of the holster, I make up for with faster splits and fewer down.

Let the trolling begin!

anybody got a chrono they care to bring to WSSC tomorrow :-)

Will bring chrono. Not waterproof though . Wonder if the parking at WSSC will be workable?

Usually the speed loss is like .1 - .2 between ample time & poor shooting. Just need to force myself to take the time.

Yea. Seems like you are actually faster for the stage overall if you don't rush & miss. I'm wondering if it is sort of a controlled and more smooth versus herky jerky thing.

So is this how SASS cowboy "action shooting" really is?

Think that's the herky jerky Grelber is talking about

My chrono is usually kept in my trunk, so I'll have mine as well.

I agree with the rush and miss theory, I've been trying to get past that since I started shooting a couple years back. I think I've weened myself off doing that on any regular basis nowadays... I really need to work on folow-up shots/sight tracking and maybe learn how to do fairly clean double taps, which I know will vary with pistol/bullet/powder combo, etc. I don't expect them to be mere cm from each other or anything.

2nd guy on the left looks like sandbagger at a steels match.

Fun nugget from doodieproject...

"match bump" - when you have a casual encounter with a hot chick in a clean porta-potty between stages. Does IDPA actually logs those?

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life

Is there such a thing as a clean porta-potty?

 

[Kisada]

I've occasionally seen a few that were cleaner than other public restrooms... but none that I'd be up for that act in.

Hope everyone had a fantastic time out shooting today! The Walking Dead match was a ton of fun despite not being 100% on top of my game lol what did everyone think? How about the shotgun addition as a stage?

+1
shotgun stage was really cool, nice change of pace

 

[Grelber]

The shotgun had apparently not been cleaned or lubricated since it arrived on the Mayflower, besides it working slow & entirely screwing up all my mojo I thought it was a real fun match.

Jim started things out with a quick lecture about pasting & brass ratting & that got my toes all curly.

There was another unfortunate twerking incident though.

Lolol once you get your hip replaced all your twerking should come to a stop!

Does anyone know what I need to do to change plinker to marksman under my name?

 

[looney2ns]

Make more posts on here. You can't change it.

Someone must of spit in it by the time we got to it. I had no issues'. Other then it was the only second time in my life shooting one of them there manual shot gun things. There's not a chance it wasn't oiled recently, it belongs to Dusty and he hose's everything down with WD-40 at least once a year.

I liked the addition of a two gun stage.

 

[Kisada]

Shotgun was definitely a nice stage addition, not something I mess with on any regular basis.

 

[DustyDawg48]

Very tight match! Those quick stages can deal a blow to your standings but it looks like everyone shot really well. My misses on some of those caught up with me, thankfully I managed them on the Limited Vickers stage LOL
