I shot the match yesterday 8/27. New MGM spinner is indeed a hoot to shoot-get your timing right and away she goes...or not.
The new Riflemans Ridge stage was a really fun combination of near and far targets engaged from 4 different positions and was the only real physical running portion of the match.
All stages except 1 have shade, a blessing in these temps. I really like this range for its rolling natural terrain and shooting positions. Fred has worked super hard to fine tune the stages, build berms and alleys, and his stage design pretty much challenges the shooter and eliminates gaming. The scoring system has no peer-up to date match results on the fly in seconds. All the stages have movement but you are shooting and/or loading while moving vs a dead run to a different postion. The moderation of the hard running brings welcomed emphasis to good shooting technique, manipulation skills, ammo management vs just physically surviving the stage. No match setup or tear down is definite benefit.
Its a 130+ miles from my digs to aggieland but its worth it-fun factor = high. See you guys next month, keep up the great work.
