bfwally Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Diana..great video..the weather looked to be a challenge.. but its always a good time at DTC..sorry I had to miss this one.. "A challenge". Nice way of putting it. It was damned near impossible for an old fart like me to function by mid-afternoon. Got lazy about cleaning mags and the gun and malfunctions resulted, to add to the dificulty of shooting while shivering..... but I acheived my goal of finishing, undoubted last. But it was a beautifully run and executed match, I would like to go again when the weather is not so Mars-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryO Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Really great match. Great stages, great RO's, great shooters on our squad (10), smooth flow, great mud, freezing cold, great challenge. I'd only like to have one stage back, the cave. Shot first three targets with one foot outside of area A, what can I say it was dark in there. Will do it again.

Resjudicata Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Another massive kudos to the RO's and staff. You guys are great. I'm amazed at how well this match went on Friday. It was done well for a regular match that had no weather issues. And to say we just had weather issues on Friday is a huuuugge understatement. I also hope (in the friendliest way) that the weekenders get 5" of rain with maybe a couple inches of snow too. Just to be kinda fair since you guys get to spread it over two days.

HI5-O Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Good video Gaminggoddess Now I can see what I missed at this years match (including the weather for sure). Hope no one suffered frostbite as I sure would have in 30 degree weather All of you shooters are a tough bunch and wish you all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyinBlue Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I froze my azz off today! My toes were numb and my goosebumps were so big they hurt just rubbing against my thermal underwear. At some point the sun did come out and the sky turned blue but by then my lips were blue and the cold wind whipped right through every layer I had on. The stages were great...fast and furious! Thanks to the RO's who tirelessly froze right along with us. Gawd I hope it warms up tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike cyrwus Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 It was a challenge for sure. I am glad I had the opportunity to shoot other big matches with inclement weather; Im sure It helped me some. wheres the first place I might see the results? Does Robert upload em to uspsa's match results page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Bad news, it will be about 34 degrees when we start shooting in the morning. Good news, it will be about 71 degrees when we finish up around 1 PM. Per the weather man, not as much wind tomorrow as we had today. Remember, these are the same guys that told us earlier this week we would be shooting in sunny 65 degree heat today. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket35 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) Yup, looks like we will be shooting in 30-40 degree weather most of today again. Hopefully we don't have the 30-40 mph winds again though! Our squad finshed shooting yesturday as the sun was pretty much setting and we re still one stage behind. We were waiting on the "supper squad" all day but the 2 hours of sitting after lunch really put us in a bind. They moved us to another stage only to return and wait again! All told we waited about 3-4 hours to shoot stage 12. It only took about 30 minutes for our squad to shoot the stage. 13 hour on the range was no treat, especially in those weather conditions! As of right now I will not return next year! Oh and my camera didn't like the cold and I had unresolvable difficulties. It only worked for the first two stages or so...

shootingchef Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) the super squad certainly presented some issues yesterday. Don't take it out on Robert or the Match. Go to that squad and address it with them. I think mother nature just wanted not to be left out in the cold. hehe. FYI, only 2 people left on Friday, not the hoards mentioned here.

Seeing as though 6 left our squad, I think the earlier numbers are pretty accurate! There were at least two squads that ended with 3 shooters.

We did a lot of waiting all day. But it is kind of interesting to go first on 5 stages in one day. Edited March 29, 2009 by austinkroe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 That was kinda cool though. We started with 8 but ended quite a bit smaller.. Besides having to paste everything and stand around a bit more, it wasnt that bad.. Any idea what time the scores will be posted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resjudicata Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Anybody know about the scores? Who won Limited and Open? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) Limited - TT, Manny 2nd Open - Lesgar Murdock, some guy named Dave 2nd Production - Yong Lee (in the Friday mess ) Single Stack - Roger Sherman L10 - David Elderton BTW - I was on said "super" squad. Let me assure you, those of you affected by the delays on stage 12 were not the only frustrated folks with that situation I'd be happy to explain what went on, but not typing on my iPhone I cannot tell you how grateful I am to the ROs who were there with us until 8:30 to get us through our allotted stages on Saturday!

doncannon Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Will the scores be posted on DTR's website anytime soon or do we wait for them at USPSA'a site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristotle Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Production - Yong Lee (in the Friday mess ) When I heard about the weather down there, I knew Yong had his Division on lock down. We've been shooting in those conditions for the past couple of months. He shoots in those conditions for club matches. That's two in a row for Yong at DTC.

scorch Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Scores are up on the The Double Tap Ranch Web Sight as of 8:30pm Sunday Night. All except SSTK will post them in the Morning. I am Really tired. Thanks To all that came and Shoot in some of the Worst weather we have had. The First three years have been Pretty good weather starting a bit chilly and warming into the mid 70's. Was 80+ degrees for the three weeks before the match this year AND we are in drought conditions. Go figure. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
