want2race Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 This was my first major event shooting open. Shot my open .40 (aka "rat gun"). Late in the day I had two stages in a row with light strikes. Swapped out the firing pin and solved the problem. My Ltd gun had the ext. FP in it. I lost major points on a stage because I changed my shooting style thinking the dot would make up for it. Wrong. In fact it's the first stage in the video. I was about 5 seconds off the pace I should have been on. Learning point taken. I met my goal for the match for the most part. I had one mike and that was my only penalty on the day. I had some difficulty finding the dot two or three times but that will improve the more I shoot it. Still waiting on the final results to be posted, I'll update here if it's good news. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZTg0OYuv20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

want2race Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Results posted. Not bad, but I realize I'm not yet taking full advantage of the open gun. 4th A, 9th overall of 39 shooters. I was just 36 points from 3rd overall, 1st A. 3rd through 9th was very tight. "A chase is a race", and this one was fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatMeerkats Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I went around and tried to take pictures between R.O.-ing squads... I'm still recovering from the weekend, so I just put them on facebook. As always, let me know if you'd like a high-res copy of anything. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2641...mp;l=0006f2baec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
