280dave Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, Shot in my first match in 4 years, Before that I'd only shot a hand full, not enough to get classified. Well today I had 2 goals. 1. don't get DQ'd 2. Don't finish dead last I managed to accomplish both, finished 23rd out of 27. Would have liked to finished better but somebody needs to make the rest of the field look better. I;m shooting a Sig P229 Pretty short on barrel,I had a heck of a time with the steel Poppers weren't bad but the plate racks and the Texas star messed me up a couple of times. Oh well nothing a little practice won't cure. Have a good day guys Dave Edited February 6, 2011 by 280dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IL-SIG Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Since you are in Oregon and shooting a SIG, you should look up Bruce Gray (if you haven't already). He can do some magic to your 229 and also holds classes that are great! Welcome, be safe and have tons of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first match this last wknd...never shot anything like a USPSA match - those plates get smaller when you start shooting at them. And the star, yeah, I expended a whole mag on one of those yesterday! Lots of practice to do...gonna have nightmares about the star.
