I am also going to try and make it a more physical match kinda like the bigger matches we are all used to shooting so we cna use this as a warm up for some bigger stuff. nothign out of han, but more than just the regular spray and pray.

Jim Norman Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Thank you to Dean and the rest of the Topton crew for building and running a really nice match. Definitely some real challenges were presented. Thank you again. Jim Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Post Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Today was a great day at a very nice place. What made it so great? It was the very good stages, built by good hard working (or is that playing) shooters who were friendly and know how to put together a challenging match that ran smoothy. Two thumbs up!

gotm4 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Team VA Arms (Brett, Robb and Dan) had a lot of fun, great match and very challenging. I did notice at least on our squad that the rules enforcement was pretty laissez-faire, one particular member of our squad had 3 procedure rules violations that weren't enforced (not dropping rifle mag on the pistol/rifle stage, loading chamber outside the tunnel, shooting outside of the shooting area on the shotgun/rifle stage)..... not good at a money match.

Jim Norman Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 There were a couple scoring items that might have been addressed better in the written briefs. This is true of most matches of this type, and not a knock at Dean and his crew. I know I've had similar issues at matches we've put on. On a time out, is there a FTE. Since you are out of time the targets essentially are no longer available. You should get the miss, but the FTE? What about deciding on a COF that certain targets are not worth more time. in other words, you've shoot at all the targets, but decide to stop after taking 5 misses, you have not timed out, in fact you may well have a really good time, you roll into a position and take sufficient shots to engage the targets, the spotter sees each miss near a target, you then stop with 60 seconds remaining on the clock, You didn't get the hits, you take the misses, but another competitor makes a longer attempt to hit the 5 targets, you both have 20 of 25, but one of you has a significantly shorter time. Haven't checked the USPSA Multi-gun rules, but there should be a specified way to handle the first instance if not the second. If the clock is running, perhaps the shooters that decide that 5 quick shots at hard targets is sufficient, should be recorded as Time-Outs? This is a situation that has arisen at many matches and needs a solution so that a stage can't be gamed in a manner that is outside of a shooting solution. I would like to see this spelled out in some manner that addresses this. This said, It was a hell of a match, a good warm-up for the season, lots of interesting stages and some really good shooting challenges. Dean and crew did a good job building it and had all their volunteers showed up, they would have likely had fewer of the few problems they did. I know I will be building some practice stages that duplicate a few of the challenges presented at this match. It showed me a few of my weak points.

bsimon Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I had a great time. Dean and crew put on a challenging match. This was the first true multi-gun match that I have shot and it was a blast. All the little rules stuff will work out as the sport matures. Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
