Sgtsvi Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I started that tradition at the Ridge motel several years ago. I would have done it again but I made my decision to shoot the match at the last minute so I'm staying in Eastland. Maybe next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got stuck eating Mexican food with DuBois. See ya tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFinan Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Wow was this a hot match, and I dont mean fast . Over all I lked the stages, they were fun and challenging. Lots of little hidden nooks and crannies that targets were ( found most of those, its the ones in plain site I walked past ). I finished last in production with my CZ, had a lot of little mental errors early on that hurt, and then add to that a lot off issues with the CZ doublefeeding rounds. Overall though fun match and despite the heat I will try to sign up for this match again next year, maybe we schedule it for end of February this time around .

Mitch Harrington Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 This is one match I'll never shoot again. Care to elaborate on that Ken? I had planned on going but was too busy in the shop. Just wondering if it was a good decision or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingchef Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Not without violating forum rules. We have a rule book for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beltjones Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Big thanks to the ROs who gave a Herculean effort. Shooting all day Friday and coming back for Saturday in the 109 degree heat is more than any person should be asked to do. Also a big congratulations to Jim Bodkin for winning the Production match. Jim is a hero and a friend of mine, and this was a well-deserved win. That said, there are some things that need to change about this match. I don't think I'll be back unless they do.

shred Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Watch those reverse-temperature-sensitive powders when it's 108'F outside. Any idea what the unexpected-Minor shooters loaded? Mine chronoed right about where I expected, even on the sideways chrono. Hopefully with less heat and more staff, they can do a better job with proofing the courses in the future. It was a fun match, but I think a number of people left PO-ed for one reason or another. No DQs at all is impressive too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingchef Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Had there been a correct Chrono set up, maybe, just maybe the results would be different......RO fired 1 shot from 5 feet against a chrono set sideways, because there were no skyscreens...goes south from here, but you get the picture.

JorDanO Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 It was a fun match as always. Hats off the Jimmy, Artie and their crew Big props go to Kale for kicking everyone's butt shooting minor with his Shadow and 19 round mags! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CocoBolo Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) I have to fully appreciate the dedication and tenasity of the RO's, may thanks for working in hard conditions, my hat is off to you. This was my third, each one has been different, Jimmy you did a great job on the stages, they were challenging in yet a different way than they were in 2010 or 2008. With the openness of the stages and the finite short step positioning it made going fast treacherous. I am very glad I was on a great squad with hard workers, didn't know any of them but they were all very nice and since everyone worked it made the match much more enjoyable. Since I melted down on Saturday about 2pm my match results didn't merit a trip to the prize table so headed out after the last shot was fired. Haven't walked passed a target in years, managed to do it multiple times. Nothing like being half way thru a stage and your mind going completely blank DaaaaahHH, now what. Edited to add - Americas Best Value hotel. I didn't think it was so bad, but I had the best room in the place. No cold water in the sink, the ac had no knobs or grills got the room to luke warm, and fridge was barely cool, then by accident I found out that everyones key opened any room. Felt real secure, Open gun with big stick on night stand, dot on low. Edited July 23, 2012 by CocoBolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
