davehorn Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 WOW! What a match. I can't really add anything to what's already been said. Great stages, great people, amazing prize table, and the most worthwhile cause. A big THANK YOU to Mike, Andy, and all the ROs. This has become my favorite match of the year hands down.

Bullittmcqueen Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 What mud puddles? I thought the wet clay was bad at Legion back in December for SE3GC, but this picture just renders me speechless..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickoli Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Well, popped my cherry on my first major with this match. It was amazing, Friday definitely tested myself as a shooter and my gear and then everything cleared up for 2 more great days of shooting. Prize table was great, I'm surprised I finished 56th and walked away with the prize I did. Thanks to everyone who put this match on and helped out. Big thanks to the ROs, every stage we went to on Friday, they all were happy, or seemed at least, and kept spirits high while shooting through the mess. Looking forward to Blue Ridge this year to finish it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniUzi Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I had a great time at the match and thought that was the best bunch of shooters having the most fun possible in the worst weather imaginable on Friday. I've added a new term to my vocabulary after Tommy Thacker got done with his run on Stage 2. He held the gun together for his last two shots which was a technique I've not seen before . He had apparently damaged the shotgun on a previous stage and then had some issues on Stage 2 after "fixing it". Thackered : The act of unintentionally disassembling a firearm in a safe condition while placing it into a dump bucket. (adjective) Example : He thackered his shotgun when the empty receiver ripped off the barrel and magazine tube and tumbled into the ground. A big thanks to everyone who let me video tape you on Stage 2... I'll be doing a bit of a video mash up as time allows. If anyone would like to contribute your video and pictures of the good , the bad and the wet and muddy for the mashup I'd love to see it. Drop me a note. -Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzworm Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Many thanks to Andy, Mike, Legion, everyone one involved, esp. the great ROs. Wow, what a prize table. Thanks to all the sponsors. Great stages, and great fun. I heard a rumor that the state of Commifornia is considering asking Andy to run some three gun matches there. They say they could use the rain. (I kid, I kid) (I did have to add to my sig. line after this match) Thanks again to all involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New4John Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Still smiling and acting like a big kid after the last stage on Friday. I think she's a keeper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Knew Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Anyone remember what sight was on the Adams Arms demo gun? I forgot to look. I'll have to say that was one light soft shooting gun. It has me wanting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Thackered : The act of unintentionally disassembling a firearm in a safe condition while placing it into a dump bucket. (adjective) Jesse Tischauser did it last year at CTC, auto-ejected 6 or 7 rounds onto me, in the dark, but he grounded it safely. Happened to Travis Gibson at SMM3G this past weekend as well. Look a bit further and you will find there are several more of these among the open shooters. Glad you all had fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkmccoy Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 This was one for the record books! The match was incredible. All of the stages were challenging and fun to shoot. The match ran smoothly despite the weather conditions. The prize table was great. Mike and Andy did a remarkable job setting this one up and running the match. I'll definitely be back next year!

alma Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 The A5 in two pieces makes me a bit nervous. Is that a potential weakness of the gun or just par for the course at his level of competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwfun Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Awesome match for a stage and a half! Kind of liked the way it sucked on Friday, and then my glock decided it did not want to be cooped up in its holster and jumped out on stage 1. I did not notice and thought they were yelling at me to be carefully in the mud, then I looked back and saw the matched ended for me. Lesson learned.

Ulwembu Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 This was my first TFD3G and I had an awesome time. From shooting it to working as an RO on stage 7 to digging out one of 4 stuck trucks between targets it was a great match! The price table was crazy! Check my Youtube account for some of the stages that were shot in dry conditions https://www.youtube.com/user/ulwembu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShootress Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Task Force Dagger 2014 is done. I can say that it was a challenge but it can not compare to the challenges of the men and women that have served our country protecting our freedoms. I thank all of those that have served. The Task Force Dagger Foundation is truly one that gives back to those it serves. If you do not know of it, I encourage you to research it. I know I have only been shooting for 9 months but this has been the most challenging conditions to date. Friday served up a day of rain, mud and wind. Targets disappeared, hands were numb and running was hard. Saturday served up hard stages and thick mud with sun. Sunday gave a bit of a reprieve, sun and stages with solid ground. My body was tired, sore and bruised in the end. I finished a well planned and technical match. I would like to thank the RO's! You all did a great job! Match directors - great match! My squad mates, Chris Sell, Chris Cazin, Jake Latola, Adam Maxwell, Clint, Dave, and John. You were very supportive and hard working. I would like to thank JP Enterprises, a fine manufacturer of superior precision rifles and sponsor. A shout out to Cap Arms for great ammunition.

Bryan 45 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Samson has finished up our match video for Task Force Dagger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhIUidP8h40 I've also gotten quite a few responses from the sponsors after sending out "thank you" emails. I can't wait until next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
