good "real life tactic" yes, but this is a game lets not even mention real life here.....

By setting up a shoot-through you are very clearly using a technique that is outside the design intent of the stage to gain competitive advantage. I just don't buy the 'legitimate tactic' nonsense. Find me a trainier (anyone, anywhere) who would advocate such a move and I'll concede the point.
Technically, when engaging multiple targets you want to line them up. That way you can engage them one at a time. The last thing you want to be is surrounded. If that first target where not paper, it would not have been there after two shots to the "upper scoring zone" freeing you to engage the target you setup behind it.
just a thought ...

Air-soft certainly allows a new slant on running the Tueller Drill.
Hi Rainman. Greetings from California and welcome to the forums!
What is the Tueller Drill?

Hey folks, don't take this the wrong away, but where do you live so I can avoid you
.Avoiding me is probably a good idea

I spun the Jeep this morning on the way to the match. It was kinda fun.
-
there's probably some leakage
Tell me about it. If mine was a bucket with a few holes that would be something, but right now it has no bottom.

for true Budo, it's only about the path and there is no goal
Is it really so different when you shoot each shot as it should be without any concern for the score, the time, or your placement?

With Winning in Mind is okay. I finished reading it the other day. His definition of the self-image and it's importance in performance is interesting as it relates to the conscious and sub-conscious. His directive affirmation method seems appropriate to address that model of thinking.
I am finding that WWIM probably has more value in the pre and post shooting times as a framework. Since IPSC is freestyle and the courses different for each competition (except classifiers) the "rehearsal" that WWIM talks about is not entirely helpful to me.
"Create the conditions favorable" -benos to me is more powerful.
From our Kyudo friends:
The proper mind is described in Kyudo as "If the mind is proper then the conduct of shooting will be correct. If the conduct of shooting is correct then the release will be correct, too." If you ask what proper mind is, the answer will be "Mushin" (absolute mind) and "Kyoshin" (emptied mind). Mushin is also considered to be a force that works freely, responding as necessary.
and
... spiritual force with absolute mind requires self-restraint, calmness and patience. As a result, concentrated mind is developed ... Once the mind's eye is opened, one can cope with anything with "Fudoshin" (firmness) or with "Heijyoshin" (uninfluenced mind). Then impurities of the mind such as doubtfulness, anxiety, timidness, fear, and low self-esteem, will be naturally removed.
If someone is using the Directive Affirmation I think they should be careful. If someone were to sincerely reprogram themselves as the first B shooter at the nationals and it does not happen then a self-image conflict is just waiting to happen.
"to train one's mind up to the stage of no desire of hitting the target" to me seems more healthy and consistent.

<spoilers alert>
Yeah but the king killed him, then killed a bunch more people to satisfy his apetite as a tyrant. I thought the message was uniting the country wasn't worth all the pain and suffering.
They had to kill him since he "attempted" to assassinate the king. It was the law.
Uniting the country was the only reason that made the pain and suffering worthwhile.

I hate that everyone is moving away.

We also feel that it eliminates many very good shooters who just dont shoot limited but would like to shoot our match. So all you open speedsters get your apps in ASAP.
WOOO HOOO!!!!

My local B class rivals are sure to love this news.
Congratulations!
If you want, I'll trade cards with you. -
The moral of the story is, if you sleep walk, be sure to write your room number down on your hand BEFORE you go to sleep - no matter how sh*tfaced you are.
I wasn't sleep walking, but I was close to "sh*tfaced" recently. Having left my sharpie in my other pants in another state I couldn't tattoo the room number to my arm. Luckily I was chewing gum so I was able to stick that to the room number placard. All I had to do then was remember what floor I was on ... that's another story.
Don't you miss the days when they actually gave you a metal key on a plastic keychain with the room number written on it.

The scary part is that I didn't even realize I was doing it until he pointed it out to me.

Hmmm... now that I am a bona fide killer, I seem to be somewhat more bloodthirsty!
It's a good thing we're Pinoy. Someone else feeling that way would definitely come back as a cockroach in the next life.

One of the Brazilian Juggernauts pointed this out to me this weekend. I'm paraphrasing of course, but this is basically what it means to me. Wow ... I'm going to miss having him around.
-
I'll need to get a chest wig, though.
No you don't. Just buy some of that rogain stuff and a spatula. Slather it on and you'll be George "the animal" Steele in no time!
-
I call that the death jam. Meaning you have to drop the mag, rack, reseat the mag, rack, and then finally get back to the shooting.
I fixed that with new aftec springs. I bought 4 more springs to carry around with me ... good luck.

There seem to be some stages designers that take great pains to have a "story" underlying their course of fire. There are others that just like to build interesting shooting challenges without any theme beyond "shoot it".
Whoa ... this thread is way to close to EYE DEE PEE AYE for me. I abstain from voting and I'm outta here. Whoever said "Freestyle Baby!" can shoot with me. I'll be there with bells, hawiian shirt, dot, and race holster on.
I don't have the attention span for anything more that show me the 180 and the general direction of the things to shoot at. If you want to talk about this some more you can find me by the keg at the end of the shoot.

Bruce (the ding dong) oopps ... sorry. That's what I get for talking about something I knew nothing about. I guess my biggest frustration is that the RO's (including you) worked so hard and it seems unappreciated now. I'll shut up now and go practice.
-
This concerns me, and I'll be looking into it, to ensure that we do a better job of compliance and consistency next time.
Maybe if more of us had volunteered to RO it would have been more consistent. At the end of a 4 hour RO shift I can't tell the difference between a rule section number and the measurements to the playmate of the month. The RO's at this match shot 12 stages on Thursday then worked their stage for 3 full days!
To make it worse the RO scores weren't counted in the competition because of some thing that happened last year when the RO's shot early and some ding-dong got all the RO scores thrown out (or so I hear.)
So if the RO's made a couple of mistakes TFB. Call the RM that's what he's there for and if you're still peeved, arbitrate it. Everybody got through the match safely so the RO's fulfilled their primary mission.
If we really want things to get better we can't put up with the crap that caused the RO's not to be able to compete in the first place and volunteer for a shift next time.
Besides that ... I had a GREAT Time! Special thanks to WNPL for a fun match and it was nice meeting you Bruce.

If I can find a good toupee and a proper uniform, I'm going to live the rest of my life in character as Captain James T. Kirk.
I don't remember Captain Kirk ever wearing a purple uniform

I didn't stick around for the results so I cant give any of that information.
You got second B in open. Bill has your plaque. CONGRATULATIONS!

How much money I would save if I didn't shoot all those extra shots at steel? Probably a lot.
