CHA-LEE Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I shot the whole match today and it was a boat load of fun. Every single stage was great and most of them had multiple valid ways of shooting them. I have uploaded my stage runs to my YouTube channel. Click on the "Video's" link in my signature to check them out. I may have shot like crap (8 Misses & 2 No Shoots) but I still had a lot of fun and it was well worth the trip to attend this match. Good luck to everyone shooting the match over the weekend!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Cha-lee, I do know you killed stage 6. The first 2 poppers you shot/dropped was impressive. About 25yds pop..pop. Nice.. Thanks for posting those vids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Eric Grauffel shot the match clean with 1 D zone hit............ That is insane!!!! That dude is obviously head and shoulders above everyone else in this game with that level of performance........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Wow, 96.78% of the points with no M/NS/PR and like Cha-lee said, only 1 "D". The guy is a machine! (I wonder if he was disappointed to have shot a "D") He and Max Michel were at 166.31 and 166.85 seconds respectively, but Max only shot 94.41% with penalties. Amazing.

BritinUSA Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I wonder why he chose to shoot Open instead of Production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a matt Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I wonder why he chose to shoot Open instead of Production? Eric said the open gun was missing him. So he is shooting the Fl.Open in open then going back to production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a matt Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 No videos ? Yes, tons of videos of the super squad. It was crazy just to find a place to watch them shoot. Everyone wanted to record his (Eric) runs along with some other. Lots of spectators at this match. Some shot some didn't. The world shoot is going to be crazy, incredible & a headache. Lol. We had under 450 shooters this past week and it was like the nationals. Imo. World Shoot is over 1,100 shooters. WOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9X23Guy Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 That was hands down the highest level of competition that I've ever shot against. Universal is my favorite place to shoot. Staff was great, match was ran well and the warm weather was worth the drive. Lots of international shooters and champions there getting ready for the world shoot. To the owner of the fishing pole on stage 11, sorry for your loss, lol. I'm your man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHTampa Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 What a great match! With super weather to go with it. Definitely better than back in snowy PA. Smitty and the entire crew ran a fantastic operation. Great, challenging and fun stages. The RO's were fabulous. Universal has really become a shooter friendly range facility with plenty of shade and other amenities. Interesting thread running about the MSSC scoring system. I thought it was awesome and hope other big matches can start using it. Thanks to everybody who helped make the match a wonderful event and congratulations to all of the winners.

a matt Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) I agree with DHTampa. This match is Great hard, fun and lots of movements. Go to YouTube: 2014 Florida Open. Thanks Edited February 17, 2014 by a matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudden Death Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Yes great match !! Shannon and his crew did a fine job !! The scoring was the greatest thing I ever saw, it would be such a asset for every match to have that even down to club level. I hope next year he does not put a rule into play to keep a couple big guys from shooting over a wall...lol Once again congrats to universal shooting for a well played match Edited February 18, 2014 by Sudden Death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was awesome and hope other big matches can start using it. Thanks to everybody who helped make the match a wonderful event and congratulations to all of the winners. I'm biased a bit since I'm local to the area, but I'm a huge Universal Shooting Academy fan. Frank, Smitty and Manny have a great operation there and Smitty does a fantastic job being the point man on these major matches. Plenty of places to park, the drainage is good (if you shoot in Florida in the Summer, just assume you're going to get rained on), plenty of bathrooms, water, etc. I'm also biased towards the USA ROs since they send to be made up at least in part with people from my home club (WAC in Clearwater). I didn't get to shoot the Open this year because I was out of town, but I'm looking forward to shooting it in the future. The Florida State Championship was very well run. The new scoring system is pretty slick. They've put a lot of effort into getting it right so that it's ready to roll for the World Shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of them 6'++ At least one of them did well, and one of them didn't. Cant remember what the third one did. Even Eric G missed the left popper on the first shot so he is human.

Whoops! Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Epic disappointment sums up this match for me. Not because of how it was carried out, but because of how little effort I put into shooting it and how it just barely bit me hard at the end. I placed 27th in open. That means I won B class, but came in second in c class to Julian Lim by 6 points and 1 position. I was classified C class. Instead of winning a gun for my mediocrity, I won a hundred bucks. Half the entry fee. I posted some videos of me. I have now decided to beat everyone else in the sport and until I do, I will title every video I post on Youtube as me having a bad day. Because that is what this match has made my entire life until I succeed at this, a bad day. I only entirely botched one stage . . . stage one . . . because I didn't zero the gun and thought my gun was shooting high from whenever the last time I zeroed it was, I then found out it was actually shooting slightly low with the match ammo. Epic fail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFyxOrWFkh8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwchZQoqH5o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNruEQuQfpI Edited February 18, 2014 by Whoops!
