warpspeed Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 The Open match was decided similarly between the top two - looks like Matt Burkett took it by 3 points.... I wonder how close it would have been if Matt had shot it over 3 days like the others instead of with the RO's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral404 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) I sort of agree about the comparison to last year's match. It did not have the memory stages of that match. But in my opinion it was a technical match. I saw a lot of A-Open shooters getting mikes on many stages. There were some diffucult shots on many stages and some easy shots (3yrds or less) the could lull you into missing. On a personal note: the Texas star with the steel hard cover was a mind blower. It took awhile to notice I was pounding the hard cover and not the plates, they kept coming around and around. I think all the stages with the drop turners well excellent beyond expectations. I got to see the big dawgs shot some of them. Stage 10, I think was the: activator steel, steel, static paper, drop turner and swinger--mirror images on the left and right. Watching the open GMs was like poetry in motion. Edited November 13, 2006 by Mistral404 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 does anyone know why matt shot the match in one day? doesn't he like hangin out with us anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmilk9 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I shot with Matt on thursday and he told me he was leaving town over the weekend, for a class or training, I can't remember. I RO'd stage one and had a good time, great attitude from all the competitors. My new signature should be "I can't beleive I got beat by a guy in a cast" Keith if your out there, great shooting, I'll be gunnnin for you in January.

Mistral404 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Stage 1 was a trip. That first swinger as fast and with such a small window of opportunity to shoot it. My timing was so off, I got a 'A' zione hit on the berm in trying to anticipate it. Keith is a great shooter, I shot another match with him. He is very good when both feet are working. He would move out of C class but he only shoots SS so there are no way for him to move up via other divisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Yup, the roller coaster was fun. I was interesting shooting production on that one! And while not really Area 2 match related, I heard that you 3 gunners will get a chance to shoot this stage with rifle. Now that I think about it, I would of loved to have a rifle for that head shot at the end of the tracks at smm? cool. anyone have any videos of this stage?

Big Guy Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 As I understand, Stage Two had to be re-shot by several guys due to “modified” stage procedures. Can anybody confirm this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Religious Shooter Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I think I tanked the roller coaster stage because I wasn't tall enough. Went up to that sign that they had and I was 1" too short. Great match. Thanks to all the folks at Rio and to all the sponsors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intel6 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 After seeing all the people who had zeroed the stage I shot it a bit conservative and ended up 14th overall on the stage in Limited as B class. I braked towards the end and ended up stopping short but the targets on the end were wide open so I just shot from there. Great Match!

scottmilk9 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I wish i wasn't first to do it in our squad on thursday, especially shooting single stack............there was a fourth array of targets???? I bet all who watched me either got a good laugh or was impressed by the throwing of the bullet at the steel and hitting it. LOL I tanked the stage.

XRe Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I wonder how close it would have been if Matt had shot it over 3 days like the others instead of with the RO's. Don't know, but it don't matter, now, do it? My experience is that shooting a whole match in one day, when others shoot it spread out is a mixed bag, just like anything else. Could go either way, as you get fatigued, and such. Let's not draw conclusions - or try to take something away from someone who had a nice accomplishment, eh?

I just can't figure out how to repay all of you for all of this great advice on how to make my marriage better via the shooting sports . . . [rant mode on] building roller coasters, designing stages where you ride a zebra (for Pete's sake), buy a Texas Star . . . some of you were encouragers in getting her an open gun (did you know how expensive these things are?!?!) . . . and now I'm in the basement three times a week loading bullets (38 super comp) where you literally have to stuff the gun powder in the case!!!! And now it's not just the locals. Piling on from Arizona, no less!! [rant mode off] IF I build some sort of moving, roller coaster device and make it look like you are riding a zebra, all of you will be require to come and shoot the match, even if you live in Arizona (Maples)!!
