I enjoyed the pickup gun stage. Given the size of the match, my score on the pickup gun stage was not very important in the grand scheme of things. My score was about 300 and my score on the pickup gun stage was ~6.
Given how much S&W supports that match, giving them back a little by allowing them to showcase a new gun in one small stage seems like a small price to pay.
With four targets on a short, standards style stage a reasonable time for a good shooter was probably around 6 seconds in raw time. If you went down two on each target, you added 4 seconds which is 66% of the time the entire stage took. This is HUGE. I messed up my first two shots and I thought I saw one on paper, but it was just a sea of tape.
Earthshine, I'm not sure how much competing you do but perhaps one day you will reach the point of understanding that every stage is important. If you are part of the "I think every match is great because it gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling and anyone who disagrees with a nitpicker" crowd, don't worry, you're in good company. I guess it's my fault, I shot the Shield sideways, gripped it as loose as possible, and point shot every target. There were some great stages to this match that were innovative and interesting and there were a lot of typical IDPA stupid things to deal with too that make shooting any of these matches an exercise in frustration.

but can't quite figure it out.target on the move that offers zero challenge and then people stand there and blaze at it and receive no penalty
This year it wasn't really the lighting, my speed reloads or my concealment garment that got me. I just didn't execute well. But there were many that did- my hats off to them. Including folks in this thread- Eric, Nick, Rob, etc.
Thanks again to S&W and the entire staff.
I'm trying to figure out which one you mean by this but can't quite figure it out.
I think he is referring to stage 1, where you were required to take the first target on the move, and then required to take 1 target in the rear array on the move as you advanced to the second shooting position.
This was not consistent from our observation.
The match is over, great times were had on Stage 12 and 13. Great entertainment value was had for sure!!!!
Potentially some familar faces in this video. MWT had a chance to run a stage this year. Stage 13 Road Rage was chosen from NER 2012 to be run at this event. Its great to see someone like Jerry Miculek run a stage right in front of your eyes!!! Being an SO surely has some distinct advantages!!!
For your viewing please.... MWT running Jerry Miculek
