Great aar Rich! So twice I didn't load up the right number of cartridges. Talk about brain fade... click! Gaa I'm out. Need 5 rounds, load 4. Supposed to have 8 rounds and loaded 6 for some reason. Anyway congrats to the guys who medaled, well deserved. I liked the minefield stage. I put my hat and shemaug on it and saw my shells miss them and smack the clays anyway. Lucky none broke.

Yeah we all do that from time to time.... Brain fart.... Sometimes we load the wrong ammo in our guns , I remember putting a 243 in my 308 at a Vegas match like today's get yo ammo stage. Somebody left a 243 by my 308 pile & o grabbed it thinking it was my round haa!
Jennifer can relate to us now right Jennifer ;)?

Great match as always. Thanks Rich and James for giving up your Sunday to run this thing and not fire a single round. Thanks to SAP for providing the much needed hydration. Today was one of "those days" for me but had a great time nonetheless. Congrats to the medalists!

Thanks for coming out guys and good job to everyone.

We're constantly trying to keep things interesting by coming up with new creative stages. Some end up being awesome and others not so much but i think it helps to break things up either way and keep everyone on their toes.

We already have a couple brand new stage ideas for next month after sitting down for lunch after the match!!

This was the first time at WEGC for Jennifer and I, we had a fun day! Really liked the random light stage and the minefield.

See everyone next Sunday.

It's nice to know there's someone to share these things publicly... thanks Rich... I may have forgotten!

What was funny is Jeff being up next, still not knowing why the rounds wouldn't chamber... and Jeff ripping apart his pack looking for his magazine... that was in my pocket...

We will be marking our magazines now.

Had a really great time - Thanks for putting on a great match!
