JMIS Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 A big thanks to Dean and his crew. Awesome match and well worth the drive up from VA. Had a great day rock'n and roll'n with squad 4! Tim, it was nice meeting you and Cassio. Very true, great bunch of guys in squad 4. Nice shooting! Now if I could only figure out that lower pit - I think I'll call it match killer for me instead of stage six... lol Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xfactor Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Great match Dean! I particularly enjoyed the long range stage (alway my fav) and stage 3. Thanks to Lancer for their support!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephensOutdoors Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Awesome match! Personally had 5 great stages & learned some new things on the 6th stage. Can't wait till next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermoto Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Fun match. Ran well. good stages. I would have liked a little contrast on the long range stage, kinda hard to see the targets with no magnification A big thanks to all who put on the match and to the sponsors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can share what you learned on stage six since I missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I learned you can make a sun visor for your scope with a torn up score sheet and some duct tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oak hill Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 i too learned the benefits of a "waktasz" custom sun shade, which helped with the nasty glare from the sun late in the afternoon stage 3 was my favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poortrader Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 My sunshade didn't work that well. I should have used more duct tape. Great match. I won 5 Lancer mags in the raffle. Thanks for the support Lancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sousa Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I was super happy and surprised to get 2nd place in Limited with my SBR. My little 10.5" barrel wasn't the handicap that I thought it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt it worked well even with a 4 moa dot at 200 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supermoto Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Trijicon TriPower. Interesting, I was just looking at them. How do you feel it compares to a standard red dot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sousa Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Trijicon TriPower. Interesting, I was just looking at them. How do you feel it compares to a standard red dot? I've been using one since 2006 and love it. Super clear glass and I really like the chevron reticle. Some of the guys in my squad were having problems with their dots washing out in the sun glare on stage 6. I had no issues with it. Really the only downside has to do with the battery. Battery life sucks if you do a lot of night shooting. Another issue is that It uses 1/3N batteries which can be a pain in the butt to find sometimes. It's also a bit overpriced now since it hasnt been updated more than once since it first came out. If it had better battery life, it would definitely be one of the better dot style optics out there.

45shooter Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hey guys payouts will go out this week. No corrections on scores were received so I guess they were right. Had a few incomplete addresses. If you were one of them send me email. Thanks Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephensOutdoors Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Thanks again to Dean. The payouts at Topton are always pretty awesome. But speaking of awesome ... how cool is it that LANCER provided enough prizes for everyone to go home with something? Pretty damn cool in my book. As part of the Lancer Team it's just as exciting as it is humbling to be part of a sport where both competitors & manufacturers give so much back to the sport. Special thanks to Dean not only for running a good match but for running a great program at Topton, the RO's, people that stepped in as score keepers, all the people that helped set up & tear down this match, & to Lancer for being a great sponsor. Looking forward to shooting with you all in 2013! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Any chance anyone found a black CED 7000 timer with black buttons on what I think was stage 2 or 3. I remember taking it out to use and it having no batteries and then putting it back in my bag (I think) and that the was last time I ever saw it. It looks like this, and had the belt clip attached.
