[PistolPete]

Pete, do you need a wake-up call?

Will you come pick me up with Dunkin Donuts and drive me back home and load all my mags and hell while you're at it shoot the match for me too???

haha

 

[PistolPete]

How many rounds is tomorrows match? I'm low on ammo and if I don't have to reload then I won't. Please let me know ASAP if possible.


thanks,
Pete

Probably just under 100 required shots. The two field courses are usually maxed out to 32 each. The speed shoot and the classifier are mine. I'm trying to take a speed shoot from this year Nationals since the stages were just posted (they don't look all that great though ). I have a couple classifers in mind but narrowed it down to the one. Safe bet that they are under 36 rounds combined though.

 

[PistolPete]

Thanks for the reply. I actually just loaded up some ammo so I'm all set. See you in the A.M.

Pete

 

[GTOShootr]

I just finished writing up my stage. I was trying for something called "Welcome to Burlington" but ended up with "El Presidente de Mozambique."

The classifier is a fun one. Practice counting to 5 now.

steve- you know thats like the same number of fingers you have right? and it goes 1-2-3-4-5 not, 1-2-3-4-------5
Is it the super fast 5, reload 5 stage?
I love that one, even if i porked it the one time i saw it.

Pete- why you worried about how many rounds it is?
Just bring 200 to any match you go to locally, and you'll have enough.

ok, gonna pass out now, setting up comes early

 

[Uncle Fester]

Can I go and watch?

I'm going to hit the sack soon, but I'll check this agin when I get up in the morning.

 

[9X21]

You can watch,
but like other things in life, it's more fun to participate!

Bring your pistol, 4-5 mags, holster, 200 rds & have some FUN!

I would, but I'm not at home. My guns are 2 states away right now, and if I made the 4 hour round trip to retrieve them, I'll miss the event.

 

[Cuz]

Awesome match today. Thanks to all that contributed and worked hard to put together some great stages. You guys do a great job.

-Cuz

 

[PistolPete]

Definately a great match as always. Fun stages and things moved very quickly. I must say that the squad I was on was the most helpful squad I've shot on in a long time. Everyone helped out and things were done early enough to get things done around the house. Too bad I totally bagged my last stage!!! Oh well, more practice for me. Thanks again for putting on yet another great match. Too bad we only have a few left for this year.

Pete

 

[Supermoto]

Great match. great stages

Thanks to all who put it on

 

[38supermatt]

oh when oh when will matt get the scores done
they're done, up at uspsa-ne.org

i have brought shame on my ancestors, and must now go fall on my sword.

 

[Supermoto]

Thanks Matt


I was checking my classifier score on the Ohio calculator. Man, those hit factors are high

 

[GTOShootr]

At least it was a nice day. Nice job Paul and Dave.

Thanks again John for letting me borrow one of your awesome guns. I still can't believe I did that (dropped the gun on the safe table and bent the sight mount right before the first stage). I'm going down to the shop to put a new mount on now and hopefully get my gun sighted in on my lunch break.

 

[Supermoto]

Steve, how high did the gun drop. I was alittle surprised that this would happen. I was looking at the serendipty mount on Johns gun. Do you think a mount like that would have been able to take the hit?

 

[GTOShootr]

It was from my waist (I was tightening a screw on the holster) to the picnic table bench. It was right on the back in probably the worst spot. The Serendipity might be stronger since it is supported on both sides.

 

[Dan Hurley]

Great match. Huge thanks to all who helped.

Please tell me how some of the folks shot the Paper-and-Bonus. Some of the time differentials are quite large and the shooters posted roughly 20 fewer points. I'm wondering if some guys skipped the bonus targets to save the time.

I had thought about skippng the bonus, but Matt thought that with the mandatory reload, the bonus points were worth the time.

That stage was a perfect example of the points/time argument and I'd like to learn something from it.

 

[GTOShootr]

In hindsight, I would definitely say skipping the bonus was better. You'd think I would have know that having picked that one out.

 

[10mmdave]

Hi folks, the Area 7 NE site seems to be down, can I view scores anywhere else ?? I checked the USPSA page but don't see "Manville listed as a club.

Thanks for any help, and as always a great match.

 

[GTOShootr]

I was just able to pull it up:
http://www.uspsa-ne.org/results/20060917_manville.txt

That is the only place Matt posts them.

 

[10mmdave]

Thanks GTO, it must have just come back up.

Dan,
You have to have a real good idea what your time will be on any given stage. Then, you need to figure your guessed hit factor, and then how much time you think you'll save, refigure. The make sure you follow the plan when the buzzer sounds.

Skipping the bonus.

Dan, I watched several shooters run this one and heard a couple of conversations about the value of engaging the bonus targets. The key was the delay between hitting the plate and the availability of the bonus target. Nick Sr. for example skipped them altogether and did very well due to his low total time. The way I did it was hit the plate first and then engage the target closest to the plate, then two quick shots as the bonus flopped by. Engage other two static targets, reload and repeat. My time was less than nine seconds yet I picked up a couple of bonus points without standing there waiting for them to flip up.
