ap3 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Just wondering , did anyone spin the MGM spinner, besides Gary ........ I was sure I was going to,but the the two steel on te ground to my right after the bridge didn't jump up high enought for me to see them and I ran right by them, buy the time I got to the spinner and shot it and birdshot hit it I knew then something was worng, it was suppose to be 00 buck ????? I BET ONE GUY SEEN THE TWO STEEL DOWN LOW TEY WOULD HAVE BEEN EYE LEVEL FOR HIM TO SEE, RIGHT ALBERT (ap3) Yes they were at eye level I figured it was that way for everybody Just remember I am always really faster than everybody else because I have to use twice as many steps to get to the same place on the stage as eveybody else Edited June 5, 2011 by ap3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ap3 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Thanks to Mr. Welborn and all the ROs who truly make this match happen. The stages all made you think. The sponsors were well respresented. My squad never fell behind. When we showed up at a stage the ROs were ready to run us, and even in the heat, they seemed happy to see us. Squad one, you guys were all severely disfunctional, so I fit in the group pretty well. Hope to shoot with you all again. Yes, it was a juvunile delequint kind of group. I am still laughing at your 9 volt battery joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I went up to the car to try cool down for a while, mirror thermometer said 102. That's out in the sun. I let the engine run for 30min, it got up to 108. I came real close to being a heat casualty. There is just no way to know if it's going to be that hot. In hindsight, I would have prefered the 2 day format. If it would have been 78-79, I'd like the 1 day. All you can do is pay your money, and take your chances. The 1/3 targets showing the white side were freaky, but easier to pick up. And I didn't budge the spinner, but that's a shooter time trap anyhow. 200 yard stage killed me, but I was barely hanging on from the heat at that point. Saw some really talented tac optics shooters, stay in tac optics please! Squad 5 did represent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are getting worse because you are becoming a more rounded shooter. (rounded as in shape not skill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wi shooter Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 It was a great match, and the RO staff was even better! As others said, it was a bit "warm". But the huge coolers full of ice cold water at every stage was awesome. I went thru the 10 16oz bottles I brought, by noon. I did spin the spinner- one shot to the bottom, one to the top, and another to the bottom. Got the 5 sec bonus. RO said it took about 5 secs to roll it!

2alphas Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 My thanks to a great crew for yet another fantastic match with deceptively challenging stages. Squad 7 you rocked and I could not have been in a better bunch of 3-gunners. The water on every stage was a life saver. The RO's were awesome....even in the heat they were friendly, professional and on top of their 'game'. Glad I made the journey, TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

want2race Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I just about got the swinger to flip with only two rounds. I shot the bottom with buck, then two other steel with field, then hammered the top with buck. I hit the top one late and it went level but didn't flip. I nearly tied Gary's time without the flip. If it would have gone over it would have meant a stage win. That's what I meant earlier about places to go "hero" our you could shoot safe. I took the risk to split load buck and field. It was my best stage of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWelborn Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 What a match! Great stages, great staff, warm weather....but it is a wet heat This match gets better ever year. Found my first tick just before first rounds went down range. Thanks to Gary and staff for another superb match. Dave We actually sprayed the range for ticks a few days before the match. Well 3rd TacIron Mo did the spraying. I sat in the shade and held my nose. He did miss the spot where you were sitting. I was going to tell you, but it just didn't seem important.

Sudden Death Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Bryan 45 had a good idea to send out thank you emails to the sponsors, if you guys and gals would do that, it would make my job a little easier next year, but that would be the right thing to do anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My day was shot on our last 2 stages when my Pistol mag failed and it was so hot I couldn't think straight enough to bring an extra like I usually do. Then our last stage as soon as I put 2rds on the mover I had an ammo fail haha..... oh well, good match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBTN Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 As others have stated, it was a fun match. I am already looking forward to next year. Having only shot IDPA and the Blue Ridge 3 Gun, I was not used to shooting with such clearly defined fault lines. It cost me a couple of procedurals during the match and I saw it get a couple of other shooters. It is something I need to work on. Many thanks to Gary and all the ROs. Great match.

It was my best stage of the match. I feel I had an advantage on the MGM swinger. As most know, we had the evil thing in a side match last year. Then I shot it many times with different loads at different distances working out the stage design for the side match, so I did not participate in the side match. It turned out not to have mattered as young Mr Sweeney bested us all and won the $100.00. It spun the easiest with the plates angled flat in both planes. I used TAP 00. I walked through Stage 8 so many times during setup placing the plates just where the wanted to be that I could probably walked it blindfolded and pointed to the plates. The most awesome run of the day was Bryan Ray shooting it in 28 seconds with a pump gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
