CJW Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I take it there's no advance registration. Am I in any danger of showing up and not getting a spot to shoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on man! You'd rather stand in 1 spot and shoot 5 stationary targets instead of testing ALL your skills with 3 guns? Man up and come to Belton. We'll have someone watch your purse while you shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjimmy57 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 The match was fun and challenging. The spinner stage was my favorite of the day. The shotgun stage with the rabbits was fun also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Eskew Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Thank you to everyone that came out. I just finished tabulating the scores. I need to identify all the iron sight and open shooters. We're going to change up the scoring this time. Instead of adding up all the times for each stage, we're going to use an IPSC style scoring where each stage is weighted. For this match stage 1 = 100 points to the stage winner, stage 2 = 150, stage 3 = 200, stage 4 = 100 and stage 5 = 150. I'll post preliminary results here shortly and final results when I get everyone's division straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shank791 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Bill Thanks for putting on a great match. Sorry I couldn’t finish but Ron offered me money to leave early, even after I bumped the timer so he could reshoot stage 3. See you guys at Walnut Grove.
