mike.45 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 The guys are still in the air but it was sure fun rooming with them, dropping them off at the airport at 4am after 2 hours sleep wasn't !! Trapr, Jeff and Daniel had some gun issues and that didn't help their scores any and would have posted much higher if the guns had run, jetlag was an issue to. When the guns ran they showed they were world class shooters and posted some great times on the stages. Kurt had a great match and was on the best form I have seen him, he was pretty un-stoppable for almost all of the match and was a pleasure to watch in action. We all had a great time and we have some cool photos that I am sure will get posted soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 Speaking of great finishes!!! Good job Mikey. I am looking for another good a$$ beating when you come back over here! The other Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liota Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Roy, It struck me as funny, because I remember getting a fairly terse e-mail from Trapr a few years back informing me I'd spelled his name wrong. Of course, he and his big brown cutie of a dog won me over. I'm a sucker for a cute friendly face. Liota Scott is Trapr. Like Todd is Linwood, among others.

kellyn Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Kurt had a great match and was on the best form I have seen him, he was pretty un-stoppable for almost all of the match and was a pleasure to watch in action. Wow, if Kurt had a great match and Raine beat him by almost 7%, Raine must have been superhuman! Must be something in those Scandanavian waters. Congrats to all!!

bigbrowndog Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 yeah, scott is the first name and trapr is the middle, IPSC doesn't care that you go by TRAPR, they just want your first name for paperwork. the match was, as mister burns sez" EXCELLENT" the ammo issue was aggravating, we were informed that remington and winchester ammo was available, however it turned out to be just slugs and buckshot. Kurt had ammo brought over from UK that he knew would run in his gun. None of the foreign ammo that I had shot before was available locally, It was kinda like the benelli didn't want to eat the stuff at first but then it got used to it and ran. but the first day was, really bad.... 7 stages and just one that was acceptable. the second day, was much better, as well as the third. the stages were very technical, which i personally like. tight no shoot steel, and the dust from the range was bad, steel plates on the ground caused other targets to become obscured by the dust, and it was easy to overlook an unhit target. the setting and city was great, the people of the city were friendly, driving on the streets was an absolute adventure. The other teams were very friendly, and the "big brown dog" left his mark on alot of new territory. All in All, I highly recommend an offshore shooting event, if you get the chance.

benelli2 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Strongly second Trapr's comments, everyone should give a go at the overseas IPSC shooting it will be new in some ways but you will meet some excellent folks and have a good time regardless of the shooting. Mike 45 you made the match for me you are a gentleman and a great guy to have to do the driving on any side of the road, "you were coming straight at me!", I'll do it again anytime. My thanks to all the great folks met from Germany, UK, Swiss, etc etc, you guys come shoot over here when you get the opportunity too. Only thing they need is colder beer, couldn't believe that one place ran out of beer? Until next time, I know what I need to practice and will do better next time eljeffe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike.45 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 ...the last practical joke !! was it : 1) The drawing of the fake Euro trash moustache on my firearms customs import licence ? 2) The fact all my travellers cheques had "I have a gun - hand over all the cash" written on the back where the bank staff fill their bit in ? 3) The stock of my gun and my photo of my girlfriend had been branded with the Trapr dog paw branding....? After spending a week with you guys I was prepared for the unexpected damn you ! It was a blast shooting with you guys and has made my summer - I will post a photo of 'Team USA' in their fine shirts later ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Freeman Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Congrats everyone. Great shooting. 2) The fact all my travellers cheques had "I have a gun - hand over all the cash" written on the back where the bank staff fill their bit in ? Now *that* is some funny shit.

benelli2 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 All was good and I have started going through the pictures, haven't photoshopped all mikey's yet but I will. Here is an untouched one of our UK amigo vaporizing a clay. I may need some help from the peanut gallery to be able to load all the photos I have or it will take a long time posting them all one at a time, and I will save the best for last. Note the amount of dust kicked up, became a serious issue on your shooting order. Got some great stuff to follow adios jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benelli2 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) More pics of the blasting. Everywhere you looked you could see stars and bars, we set a new standard for Team shirts, I expect to see shirts of a whole new level at the next match. Good job trapr! [attac ment=5895:attachment] blast away, but beware the no shoots, see how close they were, we shot at some with less than half the plate exposed My best shots were with the camera not the shotgun, Edited September 14, 2006 by benelli2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
