Benelli Chick Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Usually, optional means you get to choose which gun to shoot a target with. Maybe there are steel plates on a stage that you can shoot with pistol or shot. Then those would be optional for pistol and for shot. There might be paper optional rifle or pistol or even slug. Andy gives you some choices in his stages. I wish it was 48 bonus pistol targets, but I think it just means you may not shoot those rounds with your pistol, but with another gun etc! It's just my guess, but I think I'm close! Hope that helps! Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoShooter Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Thanks , that is more what I was thinking , I forgot about the stage last year the shooter could use shot or handgun moving up the hill in the woods, but the shooter was limited to only having 20 rounds for the hand-gun. I figure a week from today I will have it figured out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike.45 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Well, the engine eating deadly ash is still stopping any international flights out of England so this match is well and truely over for me before I even got Stateside ! I spoke to Guy Savage, owner of Sabre, earlier and I think his plans are scuppered to. Oh well, looks like a trip in August for the Pan Ams followed by RM3G is on the cards ! Hopefully JJ and Denise will have a little ol' slot for moi ! Have a great match guys. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benelli Chick Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 We got in this afternoon after driving the 19 hours straight through from Colorado. The few stages we managed to see, we were tired, and I talk too much...looked really good, though difficult. I've only punched Andy once for his evil stage designs...oh wait, I only saw 3 stages. I think he has at least 2 more punches coming! Seriously, looks good, but hard. It is, afterall, BlueRidge. The staff looked tired but happy! Rock Castle is really coming along with a lot of improvements since last year! It was great seeing everyone! We will miss those of you overseas! Only found 1 tick on JJ today! Yeah!

Doug H. Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Took my pistol out yesterday to check some new ammo and zero for the match and it went BRRRRAP! Lucky I have a local smith, John Larsen, JPL Precision, that got it fixed today. Flight leaves at 6:15AM, should be at the range by about 5PM. Looks like we may need rain gear.

Ty Gentry Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Wow Mike, what a shame. The main reason I was saving my capacity to imbibe. Hate that you had to miss. What a freak thing. Merlin just missed being stranded in Germany. Will really miss you mate. I was hoping I would be able to help you with the ticks. Yes I do remember. Hope everyone else has safe travel and look forward to seeing all. The sharpener.a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springy Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 The three Muskyteers got in yesterday afternnon, checked into the hotel and raced to the range... If you give Andy a couple hundred acres of woods, hills, valleys, and meadows - he can sure come up with some interesting stages. So far, stage 4 wins the prize: A 250 yard full frontal attack by your whole squad up San Juan hill including pistol at 100 yards. In 90 minutes of gingerly looking at 3 stages, Cheryl only got 1 tick. pretty good, only one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike.45 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Ty, you know I love you brother..... I just wish I was as fast.... I will see y'all later this year, shoot straight and fast and I look forward to the results. Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
