Flexmoney Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I saw you listed under Open, why did you get bumped? I ordered what I thought was a Production legal holster. That mean old RM bumped me to OPEN ! Throw ice at Range Master. Get his attention. He sees your holster. Welcome to Open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarge450 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Great match, thanks to everyone for all the hard work that I am sure it took to put that on. Was my first level II match and I made more than my share of mistakes, but had fun and learned a lot. Can't wait to do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Brannon Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I want to thank the staff for all their hard work putting this match together. I had the best time working the match, meeting a lot of awesome shooters and learning as a RO. The stages were well thought out, presented enough of a challenge to test your skills but not to the point it wasn't a fun stage to shoot. This definitely a match I will be back to, again thanks to all the staff for a great match and I'm sure next year the bar will be raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeFoley Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 This was a really fun match in every way! All of the stages were amazing. The lunch was killer. I enjoyed shooting with the MD and some of the ROs on Friday, and made some new friends. I enjoyed seeing a lot of old friends too. It's not often that I earn six penalties, and leave happy, but this was the exception for sure. If this crew puts on another match, don't miss it! Thanks to all who made it happen.

conrad Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Did anyone think the activators on bay 4 (the door stage) was to much or to fast? I didn't think it was too hard but as the CRO running that stage, I saw a lot of guys with mike/no-shoots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Yes they were like greased lightening. But they were still workable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leas327 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 They were fast. You had to have the gun up and ready for the clam shell when you opened the door. After that you could time it and take the drop turner and get the swinger through the port in the wall. If you botched any of it the whole plan was shot and you had to clean up the mess as best you could. People seemed intimidated by all three going off at once but it was definitely doable.

BillD Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I thought they were perfectly fine. Like everyone is saying you have to know what you can do. It's not something anyone I know practices, except at matches. It's like the mover, I had the temptation to lay up and shoot it at rest. I thought, "Where else am I going to get to try this?". You had to do it a first time before you know you could or could not do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFoley Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Those activated targets on bay 4 were the perfect example of how it should be. While it was easy for a lot of us to shoot it clean first appearance, a safer option was available in that you could still see a good portion of the head of the clamshell, the swinger appeared multiple times in two places, one of which was without the threat of a no shoot, and misses on the drop turner were NP. As Corey and Adam indicated above, you have to plan for your current ability, OR go for what you think you can do and accept the trouble. Since there was a safe way and a way for everyone to finish it, and the big dogs got to go fast and nail it, I'd say it was truly the perfect setup. I loved that stage, heck, I loved all of them.

MadMadWorld Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 I am a little biased as it was my design. However, after shooting the stage and watching other squads shoot the stage, it was manageable. Additionally, as fomeister pointed out, there were a couple of different ways you could approach the array and it was dependent upon your confidence in your ability. Besides, where else have you had three things moving that you get to shoot at!!??!!! Then again, I am biased and designed the stage.

Regards, Mads You can't miss fast enough It was a good design Mads. Then I made it better...LOL. BTW I think I was 2alpha,2alpha and charley mike back there behind the door. Yes I got the mike on the swinger. Thought I had it and didn't want the extra time to make sure....guess I was wrong. The biggest problem I saw guys having with the door was their feet. I couldn't count how many times I saw the shooters feet stop the door from opening all the way. But it was enough to activate the targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russellhjoy Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I thought it flowed perfectly, and they were close enough you could easily shoot fast enough. I really liked being able to shoot the swinger at two points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the 'black&blue' to prove it! Ugh. But I too have to say that this was one heck of a match - stage designers and management ya done real good!

BillChunn Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 The clam shell was done 'strong hand only' and got two hits (Alpha Charlie IIRC) but I tried to get both hands on the gun for the drop turner.... my mistake. Ended up "chopping wood" as I hit the sticks and got 2 NPM. The swinger was directly in the middle of the window and got two hits. Not too fast but should have strong handed the drop turner like others in my squad. Great match. Good food. Good weather. Good friends and laughed my butt off all weekend. Thanks to Mads and the entire crew. BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
