Las Vegas Invitational match 2013

[oni]

I wish I still had the video of you riding that bull. I think you made a record of fastest person to fall off of it (both times)

I still have it.

[Gnzrme]

I dont think I have ever seen it... but I remember it..... Good times

[AR15barrels]

Any carpool plans?

You rat bastards!
I'm staying there Fri-Mon.
I just got them calmed down from me walking in the front door with my rifle and gear friday.

I'll just leave my knee pads on stroke the staff some more

See ya tomorrow.

[khw9mm]

Lol, I'm walking thru Palazzo and people are asking me how was my golf round today...

[gau17]

This was an awesome experience. Thanks to the Vegas guys for putting on this great match. Everything from the COF, props used, food, and company was outstanding. Most of the SoCal guys got put in the same squad which made me a bit more comfortable. Unfortunately it did not help out in my shooting. I made too many mental errors. I found it very humbling shooting among so many highly talented shooters. Looking forward to next year!

Nick - I called my Doctor. He said my sinuses should clear up in a couple of weeks. Everything still smells like ass to me.

[DirtRacer151]

I called mine and he said my sense of smell is forever damged.

Good times had with everyone this weekend. Can't wait to do it again!!

[gau17]

Just wanted to see what it would have felt like.



How to get Nick to behave at the table.



It has been proven eating fried rice the night before increases your chance of hitting your cold bore. Steam rice, not so much. That's Nick's rice bowl at the bottom.

[Tackman11]

It was a great match. I learned and met cool people out there. Big thanks to the guys put together such a good match.

I think I placed 20th top Asian. Lol

[khw9mm]

CONGRATS Solomon on your FIRST place finish!!

I don't know what Danny is talking about...unless he doesn't consider you Asian.

I always have a good time at this match. Great r.o. crew and staff putting this event on. All really approachable and willing to answer any questions a shooter had. They made good use of ranges 3 & 9.

Some things that stand out in my mind:
Things ran smoothly and efficiently as the R.O.s were always moving the stages along. We were done by 12pm on both days. Everyone was divided into 4 squads and 2 of those shot at range 3 and the other 2 at range 9.
Wind on the long range COF was a little tricky to judge at first. Looked like barely any wind, but turns out we had to hold more than .5 mil.
One of the stages required you to use some "shooting sticks" which were fashioned out of wooden sticks and pcord. They were very unsteady and i heard later one shooter in squad B actually ended up having an ND right into the concrete pad, causing them to be DQ'd.
Good thing that material that the loophole was made out of was some type of rubber and not steel, because my bipod was not high enough and my rounds were going right through.
That one range facility management guy who was yelling on the 1st day was funny.

[gau17]

Kevin, they kicked my out of the category I started. I am now starting a new one called "Top Pacific Islander"

Actually all the Asians are shooting much better lately so I decided to move on.

you need to break it up into more categories:

Top Asian, Top Southeast asian, Top Pacific islander, Top Hapa, Top Back problems, etc.

I call this: "If You Can't Beat em, Cheat"

You should see the video of Nick doing pushups and rich underneath him....

Dude.... I thought that was supposed to stay in Vegas???

Steven - There was a stage that required us to blow up a balloon until it popped or do 15 push ups. We were trying to figure out how long it would take us to do them. Winner of the stage got 20 bonus points. In the end we all blew up the balloon because we were so sore from practicing the night before. No joke.

[Chevroletkid88]

Speak for yourself I did the push-ups

[gau17]

Yes and missed. :-)

Those sticks actuall fell out from under my gun while I was using them.
I had to pick them back up and re-set my gun into them before I could proceed.
I think this kept me from firing my last round of that stage.

[AR15barrels]

Top Back problems, etc.

I win that one!
