KentG Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 Im just curious if the ones who dont past even think of it or just plain think its beneath them. Id like to think the former but from the overall attitude they emit its more likely the latter. I do like the little boyscout idea though. Can we give them merit badges or something?? Better yet get girl scouts!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Thanks BDH !!!! I am proud to say I and other BE.comer's were on that squad and am just as proud to say that if you waited just a hair after the RO said range is clear Jerry and Kay both were out there and had it done I have heard they were a class act and now I can tell you with my own eyes that this is a true statement. Squad members on that squad that are BE.comers: cjl32 Cliff Walsh myself - Hopalong could have been others but I did not know This was a very good squad as everyone helped not only pasting, setting steel, picking up the shooters mags but all were supportive of the other shooters. My Squad at Area - 4 was also a very good squad when it came down to working and resetting.... BUT that Sunday morning in the Rain we had some of the shoot throughs that had been reinstated come through. out of the 3-2 of them did their part but one of them just stood under the tent until it was his turn to shoot and did not even bother to say thanks for letting me shoot through Not saying his name but he is a well known sponsored shooter who has lost all respect from several in our squad because of it... Oh yeah, RENEET tell Jerry Thanks for the kind comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I remember at one Florida Open I overheard a conversation with one of the Super Squad about one of the new up-and-comers that was new on the SS. It went sorta like this: "How's <name forgotten> doing with y'all?" "OK. I've been teaching him to tape. He started the match as a C-class taper and he's up to about A-class taping now."

EricW Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Im just curious if the ones who dont past even think of it or just plain think its beneath them. It is beneath me to soil my fingers with either unhygenic case residue or adhesive residue. It is not beneath my range-bag bearer however. Jeeves! Oh Jeeves! .....

rhino Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 There were many matches in the 1990s (especially big ones) that if I did a lot of pasting, I wouldn't finish the match. So I didn't paste much. I hope the people who got pi**ed off because I didn't paster got over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 As for the Super Squad, after working the US3GN, there were two squads that were an absolute pleasure to work with. Both of them were the two Super Squads. There were others, don't get me wrong, but these folks taped, set steel, cleared hulls from the range, etc., etc., etc. so that my CRO, RO and myself could get the entire stage reset, on deck shooter pre-staged and In The Hole shooter pre-loaded. WE WERE THE FASTEST STAGE OF THE MATCH averaging somewhere around 35 minutes per squad. Shooters in general are good workers. However, the wannabes (and we had a ton of 'em) are the worst. Cracking the whip and yelling works pretty well. But then, like BDH, I'm bigger than most so that might help too. As for using Boy Scouts, we did that at a Sectional on one stage (the Stage Designer/CRO was Scout Leader). Ran like a top and pretty cool watching the kids scrambling to reset the stage faster than their friend. But then, that's California. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I will out tape and out paint any and all. Your stage resetting skills are puny...and your momma dresses you funny. I am invincible!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcoliver Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Hey Flex, looks like you'll need a really long tape to cover that crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 <lips moving out of synch with words> Flexmoney, your Tiger style tape-fu is no match for me. I have studied the Egret taping style under Master Ghost Dog. P.S. I hope BDH can shoot poppers better than he can paint them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 While the Egret taping style is formidable, my style of taping is "no style". At any moment, I can bend like the reed, stand strong like the ox, strike like the viper... I feel a strong desire coming from the members of Tape Team 30 (squad 30). We shall excel!

BigDave Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 One of the things that really sticks out in my head from the time I trained with BE was how damn fast he could tape a target. I've never met anyone else who taped faster. At the time, he taped faster than I was able to shoot!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn jones Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 the squads i've been on this year have really been great. you were lucky if you could paste more than one target. lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Clearly this is an issue where it's the arrow and not the Indian. One guy with one of those robo-paster guns can outpaste a whole squad unless the targets are far enough to require a lot of walkin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Given Flex's and Erik's boasts, I guess I can unpack the pasters.... I won't have time to use 'em.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
