Flyin40 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) Heres some video of Lim10 and myself at the Summer Blast, A Revo and Open shooter. For some reason (duh!)

Supermoto Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) Nice shooting I looked at shooting stage 1 the way you did, I looked faster but I had my plan from looking at the stage the day before and thought it was better to stick with the plan I knew. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IUu_c1v0_g Edited July 14, 2008 by Supermoto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin40 Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Thanks of the video John, looks like you had a really good match. Nice shootingI looked at shooting stage 1 the way you did, I looked faster but I had my plan from looking at the stage the day before and thought it was better to stick with the plan I knew. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IUu_c1v0_g Thanks Thomas, I was expecting you there. I was trying to get one back The field courses went well but the stand and shoot didn't go so hot. I don't think I have really practiced any stand and shoots in the since 2006. I ate 20pts in penalties on the strong hand weak hand stage. I called a miss and made up the shot. It ended up being a D on the perf. Extra shot, extra hit. Other than that I think I shot 5 D's. Stage 9 with the slider I ended up missing the steel on the first shot which cost me and I had 4 alpha hits on the slider. I made an extra on up after it stopped and I didn't need it. I was to conservative on stage 2, slow time and 3 D's on that stage. I didn't really realize it until I seen it on video. Really fun match. The run and gun field courses were great. I came off every stage laughing because I was having so much fun. Supermoto, Stage execution is key. Sometimes you can find a better plan at the last minute watching someone else shoot but I usually stick with whats already in my head. I have tried to switch it up and most of the time the result wasn't good. Flyin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Burwell Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Not sure if John wanted this to be the Summer Blast Gallery thread or not but I figured this was the best place to post the pictures I took on stages 3 and 4. 2008 Summer Blast Gallery Enjoy.

Flyin40 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 LOL, as you can see in the pic I missed both small steel and had to make them up after the activators. Its all good. Flyin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NICE! Pic #25 was Keen's smoking reload on his stronghand string, and Pic #30 I think was Turtle's smoking reload on his weakhand string. They were the two best reloads of the whole match on stage 4.

Turtle Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Thanks Sean, the positive energy was appreciated at the match. As it turned out, that was my one and only stage win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I've got video that I'll try to post. If that doesn't work then I'll give the blow by blow report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) First time at this, but here goes... I drew to the paper then took the 3 plates grouped to the right; took the plate and the paper in the left port; loaded and shot all the paper and steel visible from the next port; indexed to the plate in the next port and shot the rest of the paper visible from left to right (except the far left that I already shot); shot the remaining plates and paper from the second to last port and finished on the last paper to the right. I think I had two extra shots on steel in the second to last position that cost me the stage win. Hope that makes sense...

It was shot so many different ways, I started from the right and worked my way left. I had several make up shots as well on steel. Fun stage.

Supermoto Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Stage 10 was a good stage. I shot is similar to Turtle, I think I only took 3 paper in the middle to ports. Most of the Open shooters in my Squad shot it the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I was the only one on my squad to shoot it the way I did. I liked a couple of the other runs (Megan's comes to mind); it's funny how different shooters see it different ways. I don't think there was any "best" way to shoot it, just whatever way you can best execute. It was a fun stage, as were most of 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supermoto Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I saw a few shooters shoot across court, For a me, it was my last stage, I wanted to stick to an easy plan, I thought I would just need to put this one in the bank to accomplish my goals for the match, I just wanted to have a smooth plan without a hisk risk / reward factor. In the end I was happy with how the stage went, but ended up just missing my goal.... Thought I had it, but another shooter was initally scored incorrectly and then when corrected bumped me down.

Throwin Lead Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Phil Clark put together a very nice slide show of Summer Blast. The art work on the stages was outstanding! It can viewed here: http://www.photodex.com/sharing/viewalbum....1&bm=163345 You may have to download a plug in to get it to run. Phil is the Sponsor Coordinator for Area 8 - he also has a neat slideshow of the Area 8 match held in May at East Huntingdon, PA on the same page. Thanks Phil for all of your hard work!
