steel1212 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Here is my Single Stack Nationals Video. I ended up coming in 15th overall. I bombed a couple stages pretty good but I had 5 top 10 finishes and the rest where 28th or better other than the 3 bombs. Need to clean up a few things for next year but this year is in the books.

Coach Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Nice job. Can I pick your brain on Stage 13. Why did you opt to go to all three positions on the right hand side? Your finish is still high so I am not doubting you exactly but the middle position could be eliminated, and would that not make you faster with all other things being equal?

Your finish is still high so I am not doubting you exactly but the middle position could be eliminated, and would that not make you faster with all other things being equal? I didn't see a way to eliminate the middle position with that target all the way forward. You either had to finish there or do what me and Shaun did. Our entire squad shot left then ran right then went forward. I started second guessing my plan but I already had my plan and rolled with it. My time would have been MUCH better had I not done to extra reloads AND edge hit the activating popper. Anyway to answer your question, our thinking was that if we went forward we aren't crossing the same ground twice and we shooting quicker instead of running farther. I.E. we only had to take a few steps before we are shooting again instead of crossing the entire stage. Look at Shaun's stage as he did it all correctly with out the extra reloads and slow activator and he finished just .75 off off the stage winner and only 9 stage points back. I would like to see how Nils, Todd, and Matt Trout shot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original plan was going to go like you did it except skip the front corner position. I was talked about of it by a couple of devious squad mates.

How where you going to skip that far front target? I didn't see anyway to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Here it is. This is his best run of the match he was plagued by equipment issues. He nailed this one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel1212 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 My Ohio State USPSA video Was sloppy with the points. Not counting the last stage that I zeroed due to a squib I was192 A, 8 B, 46 C, and 5 D, 1 NS, and the given Procedural for stage 4. I've NEVER had a squib at so much as a local match and there I am on the last stage 8 shots in and have one. I guess I'm lucky it happened on the last stage as if it had happened earlier I probably would have lost it. I was noticably upset about it as I though my match was over as Tim Kunz and Mike Foley where having pretty good matches from what I had seen. I'm not one to look at scores and try to get X I just show up and shoot. I ended up winning every stage but 2. One I zeroed and one I had trigger freeze and got a NS on some fast max traps. In the end it worked out but man I'm gonna have to shake that squib off the next few days! It was a hell of a fun match against some good shooters. I'll be switching back to production for a little while to work on that aspect of my game again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel1212 Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Ran like a top. I dropped a few more points than I would like but all in all I think I'll come out in good shape in the combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Shot fairly well today. I'm still stuck in SS mode where if I'm moving I'm reloading. It will take me a bit to get out of that. Had a weird jam at the end that I can't figure out and the video didn't really catch it hmmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a haul, we drove over Thursday, got to walk stages, shot all day Friday and drove back, I rolled in at 4am 13 in one day was tough and kicked my fat ass on the last two. Had good hits and only one mike going and then picked up a no shoot and two more mikes on last two, just lost focus. Where you are at right now shooting it would have been a good battle against you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't drop many and they don't make mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
