Shooter Grrl Posted May 9, 2002 Author Share Posted May 9, 2002 Unless she's a shooter :-) I spent our 15th anniversary in Quincy Il at the IPSC GA and the last 3 years our anniversary has fallen during Nationals Week.

ErikW Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 My ortho. Dr. and physical therapist say I'm good to go. I even managed a practice session without aggravating my arm. I packed 450 rounds of 180 PF loads. I'm ready for everything but swingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Well, that was interesting. It was a hoser match (no surprise). I needed a good sight picture on three targets. The match overall could easily have been won by the right person with a Limited gun. (Ron Filho took a stage overall with a Limited gun.) Lots of standing & one-step reloads for full-capacity guns. Everybody else did a whole bunch of flat-footed reloads. Lots of stacked targets, without vision aid borders. Very few no shoots, a couple drop-turners, and a stacked swinger. One hardcovered partial. Maybe two or three sideways or upside-down targets. Longest shot on most stages was 10 yards. The only challenge was how fast you could go. BE would've hated it. I was shooting a different match, scoring 97% or more of the points when the top dogs were burning up the timers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDean Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Hmmm... 5% of the shooters were DQ'd. Does that sound typical? Only 2% of shooters at Idaho State were...... I wonder what the going rate is of DQ's at big matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted June 4, 2002 Author Share Posted June 4, 2002 It is excessive. I was very disappointed to see that many shooters get sent home. Surprisingly enough, as far as I know, only 1 of the DQ's was for a 180 violation. 3 of them were for AD's during reloading and 1 was for a dropped gun. The results are posted at http://www.nevadasection.com (Edited by Shooter Grrl at 3:50 pm on June 4, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Yeah and I saw two of my squaddies probably break the 180 without getting DQed. At SF bay area clubs we don't know how to do this run-by side-berm target thing. Actually I heard a certain shooter was stopped by forum member RO Austin when he got his gun caught in the orange fence port and broke the 180 trying to get it out. That stage was the worst of the match... never cut ports into snow fence! The stage Kathy ROd was unfair. Depending on the random location of the prop, you could get lucky and shave a couple seconds off your run. Sort of like that Area 2 stage last year. Speaking of which, the BoB match did the surprise target thing right. It was fair. Each port had an array of three targets and the surprise target was added to an array. None of this skip-the-port crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebraketurn Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 hmm, it doesn't appear that the title allured the best of the best (mess of the best?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDean Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Roger the problem with ports in snow-fence.... I'm looking at 2001Limited Nats finals. 254 shooters, 1 DQ. 0.3% (3 tenths of one percent rate) 2001 Open Nats: 7 DQ's of 280 shooters. 2.5% DQ rate. That's a big difference between the two! But 2.5% is half of what the Best-O'-the Best rate was.... (Edited by TDean at 5:48 pm on June 4, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamPowderKeg Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Here is a once in a lifetime chance for the everyday IPSC shooter. Johnny Lim of LimCat Custom is putting on his “Best of the Best” match again this year and it is scheduled for the first weekend in May. The match last year was a fantastic success, especially for the shooters that don’t normally get to head to the prize table in the front of the line. Johnny runs the prize table on a raffle basis so it gives an even chance for everybody to get something great. Now for the special twist at this years match. The Powder Keg and the Western Nevada Pistol League sponsored a Todd Jarrett Basic IPSC class in Reno last November and even though the weather didn’t co-operate as well as we had hoped, the class was fantastic, so we invited him back again. Well Todd’s schedule being what it is, we got him for the first weekend in May. That’s when the scheduling conflict hit. Johnny Lim being the great guy that he is worked with us to bring the whole event together. He has been gracious enough to lower the match fee from $125 to just $75 for Todd’s students. Now where does this part about have a chance to shoot with Todd at a major match come in. A normal part of any of Todd’s classes is you will squad with Todd to shoot a local match on the final day of his class. Well instead of doing that this time, you will be in the classroom with Todd on the first day and the next two days all of Todd’s students will shoot the “Best of the Best” match as his squad. Can you ask for more fun than that? The cost of the class it’s self is $400 and a $100 deposit will hold your seat. More information about the class is available by sending an e-mail to info@teampowderkeg.com For more information and to sign up for the match, please visit Johnny’s website at http://www.limcat.com Hope to see you in Reno the first weekend in May.

TheOtherErik Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Johnny's match is great. I went last year and placed 2nd C Lim. Very high round count and really fast hoser stages and some tough shots thrown into the mix. Who could ask for more... Shooting during the day and gambleing at night. I plan on being there.

Rufus The Bum Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 I'd love to attend one of Todd's classes, but they always seem to be 1000 miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
