The SW Regional ICORE at Rio Salado in Mesa AZ SUCKED !! (By sucked I mean my performance, not the match ) The match was well run, the stages fun and challenging, the ROs pleasant and helpful, and the guys on my squad nice to be around. Don't let my poor performance reflect on the match in any way. The heat kicked my ass. 12 stages in the heat in one day, was just too much for me. Being overweight and out of shape didn't help, neither did all the mikes and no-shots, but when my front site fell out on my last stage, that was the kiss of death. Ever try to shoot a plate rack without a front sight? Me either, I was done. It actually was laying in the start box, and was tough to get back in. I have no idea how it fell out. Will I be back next year? Probably not, 12 stages in one day in the AZ heat is just too much for me. This year's match had literally half the shooters of last year's. People had lots of theories on why, but USPSA and IDPA and crushing it. The worst theory is, there's some politics going on at the club, these guys don't like those guys... High school drama. It's bad enough the anti gunners don't like us, but now we're fighting with ourselves? If you didn't shoot didn't due to some petty squabbles, you're part of the problem. We started shooting at 7:00 ( well Matt showed up at 7:15 :)) and were done at 2:00. I waited around until 3:00, but then left before the awards and prize table. Any whom, here are the stage videos.

Yes, thanks

I'll bet they put them on gun broker, and raped somebody on the price.

Somebody here suggested I use anti spatter on my stainless gun. It's welding tip spray, and you spray it on, then when you're done shooting, the carbon just wipes off. This stuff is amazing, it really works. I wouldn't try it on a blued gun, but on my stainless gun, that's all I use. It works, thank you anonymous stranger.

My local store Northwest Armory Scottsdale (480) 687-5016 https://maps.app.goo.gl/vz6yaJmxu3PF4cw49 has them, $12.95 per hundred. No way José.

Yes, it's not me shooting. It's a revo shooter from this past weekend at the Golden Bullet USPSA match in Northern Cal. I just took a screen shot of his video. He said it's a Go Pro with a wide angle lens. When I saw it, I was like, WTF

You guys see the guy down range, right?

Am I doing this correctly?

Ha ha, you funny guy Joe That's not me in the video, I'm standing behind the phone taking it. Plus, box C targets were father away, and box D had a wall between two of the targets.

This was my best stage yesterday, 7th overall.

I had a pretty good day today at the Phoenix ICORE match. I took 11th overall, and 7th on stage 5. No "mikes" or "no-shoots", and I shot 5 clean, all As. Here's a couple of videos.

I agree. ICORE changed the SW Regional to a one day match. I'm not happy about it. I've already got a VRBO so I'm in for a penny, in for a pound.

What numbers are you seeing up in Mesquite for your ICORE matches?
