JThompson Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Well, I just shot five stages at the open 8-2. I started out a little rough forgetting a target on stage 9. The stages are unreal. Stage 2 must have taken hours to set up. Targets set up behind walls and ports. You can only see each target once miss your spot and you can miss the target. I met JT I think he is going to live. He has a pocket full of mounts if you are lookingf for one. I'm alive... Decided only a wuss would come this far am not shoot. Puked on second stage. Lost three and could hit steel for shit. Can't blame it on being sick... It was mental not physical. Sokay though, made some new friend and still did my share of resetting. Saw a nasty 180 violation, I'm keeping my mouth shut as to what stage etc. Hell, if you have to be sick might as well be 75 and wearing shorts, shooting with good peeps.

atek3 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 6 stages down, 4 to go. Very fun match, lots of "hard shots", some of the stages require an almost ballet like choreography to see all the targets. I've started uploading my pictures here: http://gallery.casa-z.org/2009FLOpen videos up tomororrow atek3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhglyn Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Just hit Orlando Airport for the trip back to the snowy North. My friend AWLAZS and I really enjoyed the match, squad 28 was a real nice group of guys to shoot with. I shot pretty well, overall reasonably happy with all 10 stages. Many thanks to Frank, Rosie, Wadetrte, all CRO's and RO's, and all the other staff that worked the match. Things ran great both days and it was a great match to start the season off with. See you next Feb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atek3 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Stage 2: Movies are being edited and uploaded. Rest of photos are up as well: http://gallery.casa-z.org/2009FLOpen/MVI_1499 That was a tough match. I had a good time though. I'd like to thank Frank and Tanner for being cool squad mates. I'd like to thank Frank Garcia for running a cool match. Stuff I did well: Most of my reloads were smooth and fast. I developed a game plan for all 10 stages and stuck to it on most of the stages. Only had one FTE on a 10 stage match notorious for FTE's. Got all my hits on the movers except one, the clamshell on stage 3... Aside from the FTE on stage 8 and the clamshell on stage 3 I had no mikes. Stage 2 I saw all the targets and got clean hits. My gun ran perfectly, nary a hiccup. Areas I need to improve: Technically speaking everywhere, but some areas to focus on... Tracking the front sight in recoil. Shooting Proddy I need more A's and fewer C's... normally my first shot is an alpha but my second shot is a charlie. I think this is a result of failing to reestablish a quality sight picture for the second shot, but I haven't ruled out mashing the trigger. My movement was fairly good, but I need to work on "leaves" and "enters" to start shaving my time down. I need a better understanding of "hit factor" and the balance between time and making up points. For example, stage 9, I blew. I fired my last string and drop the mag and rack the slide... the RO hesitates and says, "If you are done, unload and show clear?"making me think I'd left a target unshot. Sure enough I move my head 6 inches and see the last target. The "smart" IPSC player would have said, "aw shucks"... instead I do a lightning fast speed load, and shoot two Alpha's super fast. However, I'd wasted more time than I'd care to mention on a public forum. Needless to say, I should have taken the two mikes and FTE... I'm getting better at mentally visualizing my plan and sticking to it, but "mental failure" cost me big points on several stages. I shot the shoot-off and the first run I had a bit of adrenalin but I handled it well. However, when I shot against the winner of single stack, my nerves caught up with me, and I got two easy easy misses. So an area I need to work on is destressing before my runs. atek3 PS I also wanted to thank two more people. Rene for showing me the angles on some of the stages, without your assistance I wouldn't have done half as well. Also, Bob Kasson for selling me handloads that ran 100% and made minor.

Morphire Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Yeah, why aren't the results listed on teh USPSA or the Fla Open site?? They won't be posted on the USPSA site as it wasn't a sanctioned USPSA match I believe. The FL Open sight will get them shortly I'm sure. It was a very big and very long match and the guys putting it on worked really hard. Give them a chance to get themselves back together again and I'm sure they will be up today or tomorrow. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Loser Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Sounds like everyone had a good time. When will the scores be posted?? I've never shot this match but I have considered it many times. If it takes this long to get the scores posted then I guess this is a match that I will stay away from.
