My balls are huge, so I'm in.......and I'm bringin' the gasser this month!

I would have liked to but it is also my eldest's 15th birthday so I'm looking at a reduction in ball size. Well at least I can get another practice day in before the next match in 2 months time.

Hmmm... One week of pain for 4 hours of fun. That's a maybe for me.

Just to be certain, do these matches take place at the main range right by the office/shop, or is it on one of the other ranges on the property?

Thx.

Far left side of the main rifle range.
Do NOT sign in at the main range office.
You sign-in with the club and pay the club and then the club pays the range.

Last minute Valentines gift.. In to shoot...

ETA: Thanks Rich & Jon for running a smooth match. Also thanks to everyone that set-up, spotted, and tore-down...much appreciated!

Yeah, that was Evin, he was on fire today. I was shooter 14. Esteban placed third. Was good wind practice. Thanks to Rich for putting on the match!

Short clip of Shooter 2 and 4 (?) on stage 4

Thanks for a great match Rich, Henry and John! That wind was switchy as Mrs. Clinton today.

I was shooter number 4 and that was the two of us, thanks for a great time and definitely a challenging course of fire. Lots of fun and will come back.

Thanks Henry G for running the stages with me. Would have be hard without you. (Flying Sheets!)
Tough windy day, good job all!

i was good to see some new faces. I missed a good one!

Another fun match! Thanks to Rich, Henry, and Jonathan (Hope I am not forgetting anyone) for running the match.

All,

This was my first match, and only the 4th outing with my rifle. Although my score was absolutely terrible, I had a fantastic time and can't thank the organizers enough for putting together this great event. I came into this event simply looking to gain a little experience. I had no illusions of grandeur. Clearly I have a lot to learn, and I haven't stopped thinking about the match and how I can do better next time. Nothing like a little pressure to help sort out what really works and doesn't work with respect to one's gear and approach.

A few newby reflections. . .

By biggest problem by far was finding the actual target, particularly on those stages where you shifted between targets, or when there was no prep time. On one stage, I never actually found it and didn't get off a single shot in the available time. A lot of points to be gained as I sort out that issue. Couple easy solutions for that one.

Weakside shooting was very problematic for me. I'd never actually attempted this before, and the big challenge for me was getting settled over the rifle from this side. Definitely need to practice that one.

Non-supported shooting with the sling also needs practice. I was ridiculously shaky on that stage.

My DOPE was good, but utilizing it under pressure and time constraints was very different than on a normal day at the range when you have all the time in the world.

Bottom line, I had a great time and the folks at the match could not have been any friendlier in dealing with this newby.

Look forward to the next time.

Cheers,

schills

p.s. Can someone post a pick of the order of fire? Mine copy blew away at some point.

Here you go Colin.

A common newbie mistake is to shoot with the scope turned up to max magnification.
Turn it down to about half power and things get much easier...

Half the problem is identifying your weaknesses. Now you just have to work on them. Keep shooting and it will all come together.

It get easier after the first one. maybe not hitting the targets.

Well, my first match I was last place. Second match last place. Third match last place. Fourth match, I wasn't last, I was second to last. Felt good too!

I usually shoot the stages where the targets are spread out at around 10X to 12X or so. Sometimes I push it to 15X but that is if I've had time to really scope out where they are and have prep time. On no prep time stages, then 10X.

I like to take a mental picture of the targets just before starting. I look for landmarks I can see by eye first that can give me a good starting point to get on target.
The large target letters help tremendously, just remember to shoot the right one!

And remember that the letters are NOT the target.
The target is NEAR the letter.

It happens...

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for running the match, it was a blast and I had a ton of fun. It was my first match as well and I made a ton of mistakes that looking back on we're dumb. Pulling the trigger when I mentally knew I shouldn't have. Forgetting to dial dope, dialing the wrong dope, trying to fight the clock. Weak side was a nightmare. I learned a ton though and let's see how next time goes after lots and lots of dry fire.
