dcloudy777 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I worked Stage 2... it was kind of a bummer when about halfway through the first squad everybody figured out that pistol only was the best way to shoot it... Still a good stage... but a tiny tweak or two (to "force" shooters into using at least 1 more gun) would have made it even better. Easy to say that after the match though.

Nuke8401 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Picked up my FNX-40 today from the ffl, awsome prize table when I finish high enough to get a gun! The shipping ffl was all over getting the transfer done and shipped super fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Stage 3. Even more pistol!!! Larry must have been trying to make us feel better about missing IDPA Nationals which was the same weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Here was my first stage of the match. Not a great way to start the match. Ended up having a weak shotgun mag tube spring and a weak pistol extractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Moved in, put down a bed roll, made a camp fire and roasted wieners in the fox hole on Stage 5. Worst Stage of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Jesse, The targets were at least easily visible when you shot! Not so with other squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we shot one down in there last year in the morning. It was rough! I stalled as long as I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onagoth Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) Nice finish Jesse.....did you have any issue dumping your shotgun with that tube on it? I know my shooting buddies commented on Stage 6 that mine just about jumped out of the bin when I dumped it. Kinda has me thinking about whether or not that +2 cap is worth it. I don't think I am that rough when ditching guns Edited September 27, 2013 by Onagoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 We seen a couple of people nearly bouncing their shotguns out of the barrels. I dunno if it was the tube length or the enthusiasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I am that rough when ditching guns Thanks! I got lucky!!! I have never had a shotgun come out of a dump barrel. Trash cans are worse than 55 gallon drums. If the trash cans are secured to the ground firmly its not an issue. 3 Gun Nation used trash cans exclusively and they work just fine. If the barrels are tilted it can get a bit scary. Obviously a shorter gun requires less attention to how you ground it. I wouldn't trade my 12 round tube for anything. I loaded 4 off the beep on stage 1 which allowed me to clear the left side steal and hit the slug gongs without leaving the position or doing a standing reload.

CmbtEngr Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Is there video of Chris F.'s Stage 7? I want to share it with a few people. His attitude is inspiring. Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKG-dtX7GbI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Can't say I'll never bitch about an ache or pain in my body again, I am sure I will, but I will always remember Chris and I'll feel bad bitching. This man is an inspiration! Too many people are ready to give up when the slightest adversity sets in. Chris, Thank you for showing the rest of us what courage in daily life, where it it all too easy to sit back, really is. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarpau Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 My match video Nice shooting. Quick question for you. On stage 3, what method did you use to load the extra shell into your shotgun once you started using it. you must have done it when the RO was blocking the vid cause I counted 9 shots plus one that you racked out at the very beginning before going dry. Its was pretty fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 That was an empty chamber start, if he actually had one in the chamber open would have been the least of his problems. It looks to me like forgot to rack one in the chamber, did so, and in the process knocked off a match saver or equivalent from the side of the gun.

When I first looked at the video, I was a little worried I had 10 in the gun. But thinking about it pretty deep afterward, one of my main mental issues with the stage was when that happened. It totally screwed me up after that. Missing targets left and right, and in the end my matchsaver wasn't there for the open-bolt last shot I needed it.
