Matt has to carry all those heavy-ass .45s and moon clips. Not to mention his gun weighs 10 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38SuperDub Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hmm - time to go find some cleats and a shower cap just in case.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbean Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Just got back from walking the stages. Lots of decisions for SS, L-10, and Revolver. There aren't many "start at the left and work your way across" stages. FWIW, the diagrams posted on the website do a fine job of giving a general idea of how the stages actually look, but there are several that look completely different on the ground than they did on paper!

BB Looks like some good stages for production, too. I wonder if using a GPS would violate a rule? Heading out in a couple of hours. The forecast is looking better but I'm still bringing rain gear.

38SuperDub Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Halfway to Nashville. What's the word from those shooting today? How are the stages? We are stoked!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbean Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Stages were great, although the notion of using a GPS has merit on the memory stage. Saw several targets with 4 rounds, and more than a few FTEs in our squad. The battle for the top of the middle is fierce! Very few straight ahead stages - even within divisions, very few shooters shot stages the same way. Weather was perfect today, good luck with tomorrow and Sunday. FWIW, I did learn two valuable things today - 1) Don't set your shooting cart on top of someone else's truck while you ride: 2) I need a new range cart.

38superman Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) I just walked hobbled in at home. My match ended today on stage five. That's the one with the start on the platform holding a PVC pipe above your head. When the buzzer sounded I took off and as soon as my left foot hit the ground I felt (and heard) a "pop" in my leg. I instantly knew what had happened, .... torn calf muscle. This isn't the first time. It happened a few years ago at the Florida Open, only it was the right leg that time. I knew the match was over for me but it didn't hurt too bad at first so I thought I would try to finish the stage. I shot the first array to my right, reloaded and leaned to the left to take two more. When I tried to shift my weight and push off it felt like someone stuck a knife in the back of my leg. I went down on one knee and that was it for me. I absolutely hate this. My second major match ruined by injury. This one looks and feels worse than before. Now six hours later, it has swollen bad and can't put any weight at all on it. No running for me for at least a month I would guess. BTW the match was outstanding in every way. The NTPS club did their usual good work. The stages, at least the ones I saw were pretty challenging Tls Edited August 14, 2011 by 38superman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38SuperDub Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Sorry to hear that. Had a great day shooting 5 stages today. Things ran very smooth (almost too smooth). Off to bed and back in the am for 5 more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38superman Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 It really was a good day as far as weather. It was not brutally hot as can be the case this time of year and the rain in the forecast never developed. BBQ wasn't bad either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Got home about 11 last night after shooting all day. Had a pretty solid performance but yet again looks like I'll fall short to another great shooter at the TN sectional! The stages where awesome, as usual, challenging yet fun and left a ton a of ways to shoot them! Keep up the good work guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGriff Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) I had a great time at the match. It ran very smoothly and the ROs and match officials were first class. I definitely got some much needed stage planning experience at this match. I'll just say that "Hide and Seek" lived up to its name. Many thanks to all those that put it together and volunteered their time. edit: Also thanks to Matt for the coaching. I would be lost in a barrel on stage 9 if not for his advice.
