wdfwguy Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Can't seem to find any information about why he didn't. Here, or at PTSG. Frankly, I can't find much information about Nationals in general. Just not something people talk about much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crmcdm Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Listen to his latest Practical Shooting After Dark podcast...might shed some light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Felt just like every other nats match at that range. That's neither an indictment nor praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdfwguy Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 It just seemed odd that no one seems to be interested, or talking about it. Nationals in general, or Ben not shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooster Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I noticed to, and was wondering why he didn’t shoot it. Stage 19 I think it was looked wicked hard. It looked like 50 yard shot on that one target where they had a guy in a 4 wheeler calling the hits. I think Shane Colley had 3 mikes on it. The top guys didn’t seem to go any slower on that target. They drew and shot it and most got the 2 a’s I couldn’t believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I never even gave it any thought other than just give two good trigger pulls. I actually liked the design/layout of that stage. It was not run well and I doubt that 50% of the shooters got the correct score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie/Mikes that got turned into Alpha/Charlie. Overall it was a good match. I enjoyed the stages. Staff was super nice. Thanks man!

BritinUSA Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Fear of the virus or travel issues caused by lockdowns/masks may have limited attendance. The other issue on the lack of interest in the event from other members is harder to explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
