CHA-LEE Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Wow, thats hard core setting up the stages ahead of time at your local range. The bad thing with that is what is on paper is never exactly the same as what shows up in real life. I hope that the practice does not throw you for a loop if the stages are different at the Double Tap. I don't know about others, but once you program a stage in your head its there for good. If the stages you programed are sligtly different than the real deal, then there might be trouble. At least I know I would have trouble with it. Either way, getting some trigger time on full open targets is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Anyone got any ideas on the Freakin boulder drop on stage 5? how fast? Looks to me like a lot of running and point shooting and hoping for hits else your out.what say you? It's the double tap, thats all you have to do, run and shoot really fast. Don't forget the part about shooting mostly A's along the way. Not to mention, don't miss those 3 yard targets. Its not as easy RUN and shoot really FAST and still get good hits , as people like to think. Have fun! Wish I could be there this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorch Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) Looked at the Video of the Club that set up our stages and they DID NOT get it quit right, I had a hard time figuring out which one was which. Stages at the Double Tap will be MUCH faster, less movement. But the club match looked like fun. Edited February 10, 2009 by scorch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHA-LEE Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) I just counted up the Limited entries for the match and it's up to 118 competitors so far. This is about 35 ahead of the next closest division at the match which is Open. This match has already surpassed the amount of Limited competitors that attended the Area 2 match at Rio Salado in 2008. Iron Sights may be ruling the roost at this match.

Aristotle Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Looked at the Video of the Club that set up our stages and they DID NOT get it quit right, I had a hard time figuring out which one was which. Stages at the Double Tap will be MUCH faster, less movement. But the club match looked like fun. It was a club match and not a Level 2. Like I said, it was close, but they were just not going to be putting in "as much" time and effort as you guys will for a monthly club match. They put in a lot of effort, but I'm sure your bays and everything will be a lot different and more specific to the COF's you guys came up with. I had a lot of fun shooting it none the less and appreciate their work at the attempt of replication, they always put on a quality monthly club match. I would expect a much better quality set up for a Level 2 at the Double Tap. I hope to shoot your match in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingchef Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 we are not taking away from your match, it was a good layout and I would have loved to shoot it. Just without the no shoots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristotle Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 oh, no. No ill will taken at all . The MD put the No Shoots up last minute to keep from shooters blasting the walls is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamingoddess Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I also noticed that there is an increase of people shooting Production compared to last year (around 20 more!). It's great seeing that people are crazy enough to shoot PRD/SSTK in a hose-type match. I'll be one of those people who has mucho mag holders around their belt!

konkapot Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Is there anyone who is currently in Squad 18 who would be willing to switch with me? I am in squad 25, which is also a Saturday/Sunday squad. It would really help me out a whole bunch. I would gladly compensate anybody who would switch with me for their trouble and inconvenience. Thanks in advance. FY42385 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 People shooting Single Stack, Production, or Limited 10 are always gluttons for punishment in the reload department. I think they like doing 3 - 4 mag changes on a stage. At least most of the stages are reload friendly for those guys. When I look at the stages most of the shooting positions are not more than 8 rounds, so most reloads could be done when moving from one shooting position to another.

HighVelocity Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I'm shooting SS and will have a wagon to haul my mags from stage to stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Knight Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I did wonder why no Revolver shooters never showed up! It would be fun watching the countless reloads!!

scorch Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) be assured that it will be SS/prd Friendly Due to the Fact I am Shooting SS at the Double Tap Champ. NOT OPEN! (and I like like to reload) Thanks for the Heads Up on the Limited Shooters MORE THAN AREA 2 thats Great. I noticed the Influx of Prod Shooters when Entering shooters into EZ win score. We are on Track to Be the SECOND BIGGEST MATCH in the U.S. behind the Nationals for 09. Edited February 11, 2009 by scorch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spd522 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Another Glutton here. One thing I noticed about shooting SS is that that mags aren't so far behind me now that I gained weight. Fat has it's benefits! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatland Shooter Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 We are on Track to Be the SECOND BIGGEST MATCH in the U.S. behind the Nationals for 09. How many needed to make the match #2.

AlamoShooter Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Ok I just today got a open up so that I can shoot Double Tap on Friday. and my best friend can come too. I will send an email. Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Ok, here is a stupid question. Does your finishing result % in the Double Tap applied to your Classification? For example, the only other major match that I have participated in was the Area 2 match at Rio Salado and that result was listed on my USPSA Classification. Will this match do the same thing?

gamingoddess Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Did it last year for me so I'm sure it will do the same thing this year. Ok, here is a stupid question.
