My plan now includes bringing a tool to shoot every stage.

I always have a plan. (It just doesn't always work out)

I DQ'ed a guy last year for slugging a popper. It was anounced at the shooter's meeting so unless the rules have changed..........

Thats why the big matches should go to a 5 day format. Allows more shooters and more money. The way matches are run now, there's only a limited amount of shooters and money because of the time constrant. Take away that constrant and you could do away with capping the amount of shooters. Could you imagine a big match running 300-400 shooters in less than a week?

I can see now why its a 5 day event which wouldn't be a bad idea for the big 3 gun matches here to look at very closely.

Manual Standard???? Is that like iron sighted bolt guns?

Just tryin' to make my little buddy "Pinky" feel better.

Lookin' for a set right now.

Get rid of the bonus but leave the 300yd. shots. Maybe 400 yd. next time.

I will raise that bid to fifty five cents on the dollar. Charles Bond What Peter meant to say was twice what he paid for it and make you think your getting a deal. Jeff should be a real estate agent.

You must have missed the part where I said "ADD" as in "addition to" your raw time and hitting all A's meaning 2A's per target. But it doesn't matter. You just go ahead and shoot the way you want. Please feel free to leave as many C zone hits as you like. Trapr, I see less gaming happening. Once shooters see how much time they will be loosing by giving up the same amount of points they would in a typical USPSA stage, you will see the true competitors trying to shoot perfect stages. As far as relating these rules to Benning, this is about the only outlaw 3-gun match I shoot. It's close and I can afford to go. You won't find me at R&R. You won't find me at RM. You won't find me at SSM or DPMS. It's just not in the budget. I hope that addresses that issue.

Let's take that 4 target CQB array and look at it a moment. Let's say you AC every target. That's 2 sec. added just from that array. Let's say I shoot that array and add .10 sec to every split and every transition and hit all A's. I would end up ahead of you by about a .25 sec. Once again, that's just one array. That's how they want to force accuracy. I have no problem with more emphasis on accuracy, but instead of a change in course design they change the rules. But just like everybody else, I'll go and shoot the match with whatever rules they use. It's hard to pass up the chance to interact with the amazing people at Ft. Benning and the honorable members of the AMU.

So much for getting out of our comfort zones when you use the same scoring method as IDPA. I can go shoot IDPA every other weekend. I can only shoot Ft. Benning once a year. Ft. Benning used to use a scoing method that I thought was different from any other match I attended. (I guess I don't get out much) It encouraged thinking into the GAME (did everybody catch that) and not just the use of skills. Hell, if you want to base a match on speed and accuracy, let's just have a biathalon.

Hey Linda, Where's the match hotel agian? I just want to make sure Tiny Tina knows where Randal will be staying.

Don't worry Randal. We'll find you a nice adult entertainment establishment that is within staggering distance from the new match motel.

I think you guys are trying to fix something that isn't broken.

Fast is fun. You want shooters to be more accurate? Use smaller targets. Cut the D zones off the targets, keep the same rules, and let the hosing begin.

I think the reason for this is so that a shooter doesn't just spray the long range targets, avoid the FTE penalty and just take the "miss" penalty and a really good raw time. Seen it done. It works out pretty well if you're shooting an iron sighted SKS and surplus 7.62-39.

Is there any way we can talk Cindy into doing the A6 3G on a Sat.?

Mike? Did you actually pay for yours? Then it's just a matter of time my friend.

No, Jeff. You can't have your Horus Vision back. I know you want it but you just have to control yourself.

Golden Buffalos??? Is that the name of that gay French porn film you were in?

Hey Linda, Is Friday full ?

Nah. I've decided to focus totally on Limited and three gun for now. Mabye in another year or two. I've got to decide who and what I want to build. Maybe you should ask Randal when he's going to get another Limited gun.....

Looks like the RO's will get to finish the match on Friday and before dark this year. Now that's what I'm looking forward to.
