I really hate that the match that got me hooked into shooting so much has gone to hell. No matter what was going on my entire family knew not to schedule anything on that day of the month. Friends got married on that day and did not bother to invite our little group because they knew where we would be. It was worth the 180 mile round trip it takes me to get there.
Now I hate that my third Sat. of the month has suddenly opened up Silly things really.
I hate matches that are glorified high round count shoot these from here and these from here matches. What the hell happened to free style?
I hate the stupid forbidden action rule and if you search my old posts you will see that I mention several times that any match I run will never have that rule used. I hate seeing that rule abused and missused(along with a couple of others) just to cover poor stage design. I hate seeing this (paraphrased since I don't have photographic memory) added to a stage briefing:
Penalties- 10 point penalty for not firing at least 1 round from the start position or at least 1 round from box A
Forbidden action- shooting all 16 rounds from the same spot your score will be a zero
Well which one is it?! it can't be both!
Then seeing this on the last line: ANY ACTION THAT IS NOT FOLLOWING THE INTENT OF THE STAGE WTF!
Now I have to be able to read minds and figure out the intent? Hell, I can't even remember to reload sometimes. Let alone read minds. Was I suppose to step off with the right foot or the left? Do I shoot them in tactical priority opps the match lasted so long I forgot which type of match I originally showed up for.
I hate spending 2.5 hours on one stage, that's right 2.5 hour's on one stage. It's bad leaving for a local match when it's dark and getting home when it's dark.
I really think there are more things I was thinking about adding, but I'm finally cooling off enough to just let them go and find my personal solution to the problem. I'll now just relax and start preparing for the first Sat. of the month to be my do not disturb day. Whew, I feel better now
