Rob01 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) Rob, Did your team rotate on guns? Ours kept to the same gun when we could. I shot no pistol, 12 rounds of rifle and roughly 100 rounds of shotgun. It seemed to work for us. Yes we did switch it up. No set plan as to who shoots what on which stage though. I started on rifle, went to pistol for a couple of stages and then finished with shotgun. What fun is a 3 gun match if you can't shoot 3 guns? Yeah Pro it was. I was wondering who the other team that was shooting for Hornady was LOL All good though. We hope to be higher up next time with some practice. That was only my second larger 3 gun. I shot one local one which was very small. Kevin has only shot a few also. Tony has been trying to get us into it but there is only so much time and the sniper matches take up alot of it. 3 gun is a blast though and I would like to do more.

Pro2AInPA Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Excellent match. Do you know if the scores/rankings will be posted online anywhere? I am sure Dean will post them on the same page as he posts the monthly USPSA results. http://www.toptonfga.org/IPSC/match_results.html Man - a lot of you guys that shot the match don't know how you did - lots of you bolted before the prize table I guess!

cas Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Our 3 hour drive took the usual 4-5 hours. With that damn "Big Crapple" in between here and there. I really enjoyed the 3 man team setup, not only was it different and lots of fun, but because of that it seemed more relaxed shooting wise. Even though I personally fired less rounds than I normally would have in a match like this, I didn't mind in the least. I'd love to do the team setup again. Nicely laid out, fun stages. It was a really enjoyable match. Dean you and your guys did a great job, thank them all again for us for their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maineshootah Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Dean, A big "Thank You" for putting on this match. The two teams from Maine had a blast, well worth the 20 hour round trip. Great simple stages with plenty of "team" options. A big thanks to the staff as well. Nice to meet some other BE'ers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) A good match and a good time. Will be back. We had a great team lead by our captain Howard and son "Zombie Boy" Ben. Dean and crew did an outstanding job especially in the HOT weather. Robbie W. - Thanks again for helping me out - Thankfully you didn't need to break any glass.

Vlad Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Nice to meet some other BE'ers as well. Except you stole our parking spot. Nice match guys, would shoot again, and we placed surprisingly well.

gotm4 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Great match as usual Dean. I shot primarily rifle and a little pistol, Brett shot primarily pistol and a little shotgun and rifle and Dan shot primarily shotgun with a little pistol and rifle. Team VA Arms placed 3rd. And we picked up the three certificates for the three Lancer lowers can't wait to get them. Nice prize table too. Any chance on having a similar match 3-man 3-rifle match I think that would rock.

Just think how much better we could have shot had we not had to walk those extra feet in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOMADSS Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Dean and crew great job this weekend. The match ran smooth with little delay. The stages were fun and allowed the teams to do some planning and it also got all 3 guns in the mix. Thanks to all the sponsors, range staff and Dean for a great weekend. It was great seeing alot of old friends and making new ones. Look forward to seeing everyone again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

45shooter Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Thanks to everyone that came out and shot the match. I think we had a great day and ran without any problems. Over 200 shooters on sunday and done shooting by 4:30. prizes done by 6:30 not bad. I would like to thank all my staff memebers who showed up and worked their butts off. I also want to thank Dave A. Our score keeper who had his team crap out on him and still came and scored the match, even though he didn't get to shoot it. There are videos posted on youtube and on the topton web page. so check them out if you didnt shoot the match and see what you missed. For anyone who has concerns about the video. I had someone complain that when the video of my team was seen they saw we rested on the table for stage one. On sunday that was prohibited. After a few teams shot the stage and we looked at it we found it to be dangerous. As the rifle guy was kneeling down and the pistol guy was shooting over in his direction, the pistol guy if not careful could actually almost shoot over the rifle guy. Now before you all get pissed, my team missed a target on that stage for a 30 second penalty. Since we only lost the match by 5 seconds, and shot the rest of the stages pretty well, I would have been more than happy to re-shoot stage 1. Since I was the one to make the call for safety reasons, I thought it would have been pretty cheap and low of me to reshoot the stage that we screwed up on. So if you see us shooting it that way it was not an advantage for us at all, and by not shooting it over it might have actually cost us the match. We are going to have the match again next year, and are already planning the stages. Watch for the match announcement. I would like to thank all our sponsors again Lancer EGW DPMS Bushnell MPro7 Boresnake Nightforce Hardford Engraving SKD Tactical Larue Gear Sector Wheaton Arms Adams Arms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00bullitt Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Thanks Dean and crew and all that made the match possible. Match was a ton of fun and ran smooth as silk. Hope to make it back next year.

foghorn Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Hey, just wanted to pop these in here. Some more videos from the event featuring the apltly named "Awful Shooting Squad". We were trying out some new gun mounted camera setups, and I think they worked pretty well. If you want details let me know.

birdo Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Looks good. For another option to consider, here's some vids I took a while back. Had a third person running an HD vid cam, embed a POV hat mount inside that, and this is what you end up with: Please excuse my awful shooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
