RangerTrace Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hey Jack, You might want to check USPSA records, the 2nd "B" Limited was really an "A" during the match. Not trying to cause trouble, I just noticed when I looked at his classification. Thanks, Trace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murkish Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) Whoa! That 2nd stage (with the STAR) ... I'm thinking that if I have the timer in my hand, I'm yelling STOP at the top of my lungs once you go back uprange of the RO. Didn't look safe AT ALL to me - a shooter with a loaded gun and 2 RO's that were now downrange of him. Am I missing something here? STOP. Reshoot. Or RO's pay more attention and stay behind the shooter. There was a mistake made there, but it was not Strick's mistake. The RO has to move with the shooter and it is their responsibility to stay behind the gun. You are correct, when the ROs realized they were trapped. They should have STOPPED and re-shot. I ran some shooters on this stage on Saturday. At the very least, the ROs should have been on the back fault line and moving with the shooter. I was running a few feet up on the berm. It is a 20 foot tall berm and I stayed low. You always have to be prepared for the shooter to do the unexpected. The other thing is that the paper targets in the middle section should have been screened by no-shoots to eliminate shooting them at that extreme angle. My bad on that one. This was not intended to be in the bay it was in. This bay doglegs to the right about half way down and it gets pretty tight on that back fault line. While the cascading activators worked, it was a long re-set and caused the back-up really needed more resources to stay on time than we had available on Saturday. I worked the re-set and ran shooters for two squads on this stage in the afternoon to try to keep from getting further behind. Fortunately, Eric Achord was available to relieve me so I could help Roman with the prize table a little. (Not nearly enough, Roman.) Thank you, Eric and Roman. On Sunday, we had more help available. We put additional people to help with the re-set and got ROs that could keep up. Thanks to Jerry McClain and Kent Leslie for stepping up and helping Sid Kulcak, John Grimes and Eric. They all did a great job on Sunday keeping us on time. In retrospect, we should have done something different with that stage.

murkish Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Awesome match once again. Thanks to the ROs and match staff! http://re-gun.com/20...city-challenge/ Congratulations again, Dave. I enjoyed the video. It is amazing how little shooting I actually got to see. Also, thanks for the guidance on the back end of the match. Historically, I have been ROing and then tearing down stages when all of the scoring and awards are going on. I learned a lot and it will be smoother next year.

CHA-LEE Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I was able to film all but one of my stage runs and posted them on my YouTube channel I had my video camera on the wrong focus setting so the video's are a little blurry. But its better than nothing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanky Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Just an FYI, I know the guy that was 2nd B and he didn't find out he made A til he got home from the match and got his card in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never doubted his integrity Spanky! I'm just proud he came in 3rd A so I could come in 3rd B. Good Shooting and see you at the next event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
