Atlgentlegiant Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Same weekend as the Master's golf tourney so the patrol folks were out in that part of the state. Just bad luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Why no cash payout this year? It payed last year.[/quotGood guestion. They had a reandom draw at sign up. But I'm sure that was for T shirts and such? No one knew what those prizes were or who got them. So I figure tshirts and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssanders224 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Awesome match, great weather, and I had a good time.... But yea, I wondered the same. Over 400 shooters at an area match and nothing for the winners? Seemed odd. But it is what it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brnhp35 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 First area match for me as well and was a great experience. Although from my performance I would say I need to sign up quicker to get a all day format since it took me at least two stages to warm up both days(or I should have used the warm up plates which I though was a good option to have but didn't find time to use) once again great match well run by good people.

ZackJones Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Great match. Very challenging but getting to spend a full day shooting with my son and friends made it worth it. My son was first place D production and I was second place D production. We were the only two D class production shooters though but still I'm gonna say I was second place dammit!

melissa5 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Just wanted to say thanks to all of the sponsors, match staff, and everyone that made the match possible. The stages were fun and challenging and the Gunsta shirt is very nice. Since this was my first level 3 match, I really expected to be last in my class, but I came in 10th out of 18. I got to shoot the Polish plate rack and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Looking forward to next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooter.860 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I pulled a bag with a $100 cert from Montana Gold I was pleased with that prize and the match shirts were the best shirts or t shirts I have ever received to date. I will wear mine locally in Area 7, it's a damn nice shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick88 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Why would you say that a lot of guys run with the thumbs up grip. It just doesnt work for me I prefer the grip that shannon uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty whiteboy Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Mr Red Beard is Shannon SmithSo no thumb rest on his gun, or is it hidden underneath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is less than a half inch of difference between the support hand thumb in those photos. If that support hand thumb being 1/2" higher is a noticeable difference there might be other things you need to work on? It really shouldn't matter.

There may be only 1/2" but there is more difference than just where the thumb is. I can agree that, with a thumb rest, and in open with a comp, it should not matter but without a thumb rest (what I prefer as the grip crosses over all the divisions) when I clamp my hands together correctly my thumbs end up pointing pretty much straight forward. The bump of the knuckle on the support hand fits in the curve of my strong hand thumb pretty well and locking the two hands together at the top gives me better recoil control. Anyway, I would love to be able to just shoot 75% of any of those guys at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It simply just feels better for me, having my support thumb above my strong hand thumb just seems awkward but if it works for you and some others thats great.
