dajarrel Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Got my ammo loaded and will cylinder check tomorrow night. I don't even have ammo loaded for this weekends club match much less for the Classic and I have to load for two different guns. I'm one of those who is usually loading ammo the day before the match and case gauging that night in the hotel. I'm the same as John. I never can seem to get ahead. John, If you see this, how about bringing your chronograph this weekend. I need to make sure the BRT bullets are goin' fast enuf. dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haras Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Yes, but when you practice on half things that will be in the match and half things that won't because you don't have any details you are wasting half of your energy.It's better to be prepared for the specific challenges that match has than trying preparing yourself without any focus. I was referring to practice in general. As for particular stages in upcoming matches, I would practice some component I'm not familiar with. I've always found the stages to be a little different than as presented on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I thought this would be the year I made it down, but I'm working that other match. If I made it, I was planning on shooting lots of Alphas. So, have somebody shoot those Alphas for me (DBChaffin can have them if he needs them). You guys have fun down there !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heiter Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Thanks Kyle. Wish you could make it down. Looks like there's going to be quite a race for 2nd place Limited. Any idea when Targeting Ed is next year? I usually try to schedule around Nat's and other big matches in this area but it would be nice if I could dodge you guys and the Sunflower Classic as well. Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Heiter Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 It's just after 1:00 am and I'm still sitting here printing score sheet labels and tweaking squadding assignments. Supposed to be back at the range in five hours and I still have gear to pack, ammo to load, and judging by my dog's reaction, a shower to take. Setup went really well today. First time we've ever shut down the range all day on the Wed. prior to the match but I think the extra setup day is going to be a big plus. Now we finally have time to add in some of those last minute extras like the weakhand prone through a cooper tunnel 50 yard upper A-zone standards I've been trying to get included. Everything is coming together realy well, ahead of schedule, and the weather for the weekend is looking fantastic. Can't wait to see you guys in a couple days.
