PistolPete Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 I know a lot of you wanted a follow up about how my match went today so here goes: 1st off I had so much fun!!! Prob. the most fun you can have with your clothes on. HEHE It was an indoor match at the Smith and Wesson Academy and there was 5 stages including a classifier. We had to shoot prone, kneeling, strong handed, weak handed, around barricades, swingers, some steel targets, a plate rack, and a Texas Star. Let me just say if you haven't shot a Texas Star it is a real challenge. That was my most difficult stage. The same stage also had the plate rack which I didn't have any problems on and 3 IPSC targets requiring 6 shots on each. Talk about a fun stage. It took a few misses on the Texas Star to finally get all five plates but other than that I did really well. Over all I'm extremely happy with my results. I didn't break any records but I was safe, shot mostly A's with very decent times. The R.O.'s commented that I was one of the best rookie shooters he's seen. Everyone was more than helpful and very friendly and I can't wait to do it again. Thanks for everyones help. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 It is indeed a lot of fun. Keep your present attitude and it will remain that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garfield Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Prob. the most fun you can have with your clothes on. I have never shot a match in the nude, is that more fun then ? Pete, good to hear you had fun, that's what it's all about ! Welcome to the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Prob. the most fun you can have with your clothes on. I have never shot a match in the nude, is that more fun then ? One of local match directors has a stage designed where you start in the shower nude. Problem is not getting Pam Anderson to show and shoot, its getting me and other shooters there to have a match. I can barely handle looking at these guys in shorts and not getting sick. Sounds good Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james h Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Whilst not a compulsory "nude" stage we did at one time use an old stream bed to delineate the course of fire. On occasion the waters returned and some of the foolhardy/exhibitionist/desperate etc used to strip down to underwear and boots plus gun and cartridge belt. Not pretty.

JohnL Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Well, back on topic - more or less - welcome to USPSA shooting. It is addicting and I'm sure you'll be back for more. Oh, by-the-way, USPSA 3-gun IS the most fun you can have with your clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPSCDRL Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Great to hear Pete. I didn't make it to S&W this weekend but hope to make next month's match. I'll look you up if I do. I expect to see you at the other NE clubs this year. Michael. L-2545 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolPete Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 You'll def. see me around. I plan on hitting every match that I can. I've been shooting steel a lot lately but compared to IPSC that is boring. Time to focus my attention on this awesome sport!!! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
