BritinUSA Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Angled cable. Targets mounted on wheels that slides down the cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I've never seen the "androids" at a Nationals that I've attended. You obviously haven't been in a while Where can I buy about 10 of them? Shooters Connection has 'em. They're harder targets than Metrics - they are actually a good shooting test, regardless of any political views around them...

kimel Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Yeah, we toss them in pretty much every month in the local matches too. They are pretty common and require more skill. Don't believe me? Run El Prez set up with Metrics and then Classics and tell me which one had the better HHF. They are also harder to score for the RO crew if they haven't been around them much. I, for one, mourn the loss of hard cover. But it does add a whole bunch of extra work to a match to have it. The Montana gang told me at last year's O/L10 Nats that they had "target painting day" and spent hours and hours getting all the targets painted, taped and ready for the match.

Yup, admittedly last year's Nationals was the first in several years for me. I kept paying for a slot (earned!) and having to cancel at the last minute. New house, job, the list goes on. Plus personally I didn't like to shoot in Barry - but I'll see Tulsa this year. See you there, Dave - looks like a fun match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Plus personally I didn't like to shoot in Barry Man, I'd go back to Barry... I like the laid back, small town that appreciates our business... low crime, too. Plus, PASA really is a nice facility - maybe not as sharp as USSA, but still nice. I guess I have a lot of fond memories of PASA, though, so... - but I'll see Tulsa this year. See you there, Dave - looks like a fun match! Yeah, I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I can't wait for this match ! Less than 3 weeks to go, just finished loading the match ammo last night, now just have to chamber check and get my gun zero'ed for 40 yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gose Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 On stage 4, Triple Flip II, the notes say: PP1 or PP2 activates flip-up T1. T1 activates flip-up T2. T2 activates flip-up T3. T1 & T2 are disappearing. T3 stays visible. However, the stage diagram doesn't make sense with the current target numbering, surely they must mean: PP1 or PP2 activates flip-up T3. T3 activates flip-up T4. T4 activates flip-up T5. T3 & T4 are disappearing. T5 stays visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Probably a typo. It happens with a match this big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either PP activates a "Row" of targets that come up, then disappear one after the other. The final one stays up and visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ Bagger Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Definitely a typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgsmith Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Does anyone know if we can send ammo to the range like last year. The info in package said to send to hotel. I trust the range a whole lot more than the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
