Mo Hepworth Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Not too bad. I am in 14th overall in production, but that will change tommorrow. Tanked bigfoot stage. tanked only one stage, thats good. I tanked two and bobbled a third. + stage 5...had to restart as the drop turner was not set up. On the reshoot, I nailed the drop turner 2 A's, and picked up a miss on the left target (2 into hard cover) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Hepworth Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I had fun though. Got to shoot with Larry H and Stephen D on Squad 15, both HK shooters as well. It was like the Hk Squad and was a real pleasure to shoot with these more experienced shooters. Say what you want about the HK, these guys make the HK pistols sing! I even provided entertainment on the Big Foot stage (LOL). Next year might shoot L10 at this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhglyn Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) Just a short word from the "other" side! I was one of the RO's that worked a stage Fri and Sat and I want to comment that the shooters that shot my stage were absolutely terrific. Everyone (100%) was safe, polite, helpful, and thanked us workers profusely after shooting our stage. I also want to make note of the unbelievable amount of work that Scott Chapman (MD) and all the other workers have done to make the match run smoothly. And lastly the time, creativity, and effort the Alexander family, Ed Boadway, Scott, Aaron Kyle, Tim Gray, and Chaz Link (that dropaway spaceship) did as course designers and builders. Special thanks to Amy P for being the best scorer any RO could have. There are many others too, not enough room here to mention all. Thanks to all of you who came and shot the match, nice to see my shooting friends again, and make some new ones. My "laugh of the match"....... I was scoring targets and came around to the last few, 3 targets with hardcover and what do I see??????????? A $20 bill pastered to the end target right next to a hole in the black! Squad was from an unnamed club and the shooter has some really good friends but, no.........I did not take it. Good for some laughs all around Edited July 22, 2007 by nhglyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Boadway Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) Thanks to everyone for the kind words, but I want to extend an extra special thanks to Dave Sevigny. Dave shot the match, then stuck around for a few hours helping us breakdown stages 1-7. Dave piloted a screwgun and went to town. Thank you for shooting and helping!

kamakiri Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I've said it before and I'll say it again... Dave's awesome. Believe it or not-- and all those who were there will know how impressive this is-- we had all the stages of the match broken down, cleaned up and put away in the space of about two hours, thanks to many willing hands and a little experience (the first year we held the AWARE, it took three full days to clear all the ranges). It's been a privelage to work with so many great folks and to know that all the effort everyone has made is appreciated by so many new visitors and long-time devotees of our match. See you all again next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Norman Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I had a great time shooting, too bad I couldn't have shot on Saturday though, Friday was definately DAMP. Let us all know soonest what the dates will be for next year. This is one of the few matches I can build a family trip around. It happens out of school and has things to do outside the range gate. Great job, I'll be back! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tengu Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 As usual, I'm a day late and a dollar short... got back to NJ last night about midnight after shooting Friday and working on Atlantis Saturday and Sunday. Thanks again to everybody who made this match possible- Scott and Ed, awesome job, Randy, Frankie, BJ, the Robinses, Amy, Steve, Iron Bob, Matt, Lou, my family the Alexanders... the list goes on and on. And many thanks to all of the competitors- you guys and gals are great (I'm sorry about my part in creating the growing legend of "Porkchop Hill"). It's great to see so many familiar faces again, and it's always exciting to see the new faces who make it to our match I also want to make a special thanks to all of our friends from Canada who braved the border crossing and long drive to come down and shoot the match- obviously hockey's not the only sport you're darn good at! Next year we'll try to order one more day of beautiful weather for all of you so you can appreciate VT at its best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtypool40 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) Made Major at 165.0 me too , but only after re-weighing the last bullet. From 171.3 to 165.0000000000001 yikes.

Super Moto, nice shooting, how'd you end up? I ended up 11th, which I am happy with, I tried to shoot conservatively, trying to get 1st shot hits on steel. But I seem to take alot of time to set up on the steel. Bermunda, I missed the popper the 1st shot, shot it again 3 times, on the original video, you can hear the three hit, wasted alittle time there, In past matches I tried to shoot steel way to fast and end up costing myself more time. It was a great time and I learn alot. Edited July 26, 2007 by Supermoto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypool40 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Looked solid, quick and confident but controlled. On "Men in Black" I shot the partial through the window from the start instead of making another stop, but had a "npm" on the drop turner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPSCDRL Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 (SNIP)Here is stage # 1 Elvis lives! Stage # 7 ouch penalty target and 10 steel. I guess these were not disappearing targets. Gotta love the shaking hips on Elvis. As for stage 7, I sure hope Wally Walker didn't have to set those steel plates all weekend. But I know he would.

Carmoney Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 My revolver ammo made 179 p.f. at Area 7, same as everywhere else. Gotta wonder if the altitude thing is powder specific, it certainly doesn't seem to affect straight Clays in .45 ACP loads..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPSCDRL Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 What happened to you I didn't see you on my stage It broke my heart to not be there Randy, but the match coincided with my annual family vacation this year. Hopefully the stars will align for me next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
