PPGMD Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I was talking with Tom the other day while doing my squadding. And I heard about a couple of changes, I am sure to some this may be old news, but it was the first time I heard it. 1. They've added another mover on the upper range. 2. The Production Super Squad will be shooting the plates on Friday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Knew about the mover, heard rumours about plates on the Friday for the Production Guys. That should be fun for them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resjudicata Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Are they getting rid of all the floating white fuzz balls on the upper mover? I was almost impossible to shoot the mover last year because of all that floating crap. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember any white fuzz ball floating in the air when I shot the mover Wednesday afternoon. But I checked my video and it seems that the ground was pock marked with white stuff. I am surprised that my allergies didn't act up last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just a flurry but a blizzard of the stuff. If I were a better shooter I would have been more disturbed. Then again, if I were a better shooter I would likely have been on the lower mover.

9146gt Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 How is it determined which mover you shoot on ? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPGMD Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 How is it determined which mover you shoot on ? Tom You will receive a schedule from the NRA with your squading. If you register early enough (typically before the end of January) Tom will call you to see when you want to shoot the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9146gt Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 So what mover do I want to shoot and what time of day. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I like the upper mover, it seemed smoother, and the surroundings make it seem shorter. It's quieter with less people around. They're redoing all the movers with rails, so I'm sure it will be completely different. I haven't quite figured out what time of day is best for me. I don't like shooting into the sun, or with the sun directly behind me, so I usually pick late morning so the sun is up a little, but not setting like late afternoon.

Toolguy Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I would like to see them reinstate the High Revolver award. There are still several people shooting revo and it seems to me like it's more of an accomplishment to do well with a revo than with an auto.

gm iprod Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Even though I shoot an Auto, those silly enough to shoot a revolver should be rewarded for their courage and fortitude. If you are one of the following: Top 20 overall; top 4 in Ladies, Junior, Senior; have a grading of Hi Master in Open, Master in Metallic, and are using your primary gun in the aforementioned requirements, you are likely to get the lower mover regardless. Usually lovely and warm, little wind, white gravel and plenty of room for photographers etc to watch your fine performance! Always fun to shoot down there.

Anyone who can shoot a 1900+ score with a revolver is a salty individual. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm iprod Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I have always believed that shooting either a revolver or an auto is pretty much even across three of the four matches. Mover being the odd one out. Barricade is clearly a revolver event, no nasty loose parts flying back and forwards to unsettle the gun. Practical and Plates have the same advantage and disadvantages to me. Up front the auto is in front. At the back the revolver takes over. Once you are prone I believe the revolver is again a more stable platform. But to nail the mover with a revolver takes some real skill, which i admit I did not have. I have only ever once seen someone shoot a 1920 here with a revolver. He is now on an auto and shooting better than he ever did. A combination of experience and using what he learned with the wheel gun and transferring the good parts to the auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
