MCF&G Steel Shoot on Friday - Page 3

Mike Elzinga · 04-14-2008

Nice people and a great attempt, but nothing even close to a fair and honest match. We might as well been flipping coins or cutting cards to pick a match winner. I appreciate everyones effort and how friendly they were, but scoring was creative at best and criminal at worst. I might try it again, but it wont be a frequent draw for me.

I don't understand what you said above.

Are you referring to what some of our squad did because the .22s were not knocking the reactive steel over? Something else?

Care to elaborate?

Which group were you shooting with?

Okay ... now I just realized I don't know who you are (userid). Are you Nick?

VUPDblue · 04-15-2008

Yep, that's me!!!

There was a variety of issues with the match. I dont wanna get too detailed and risk offending anyone. It was a great group of guys with an awesome turn out, good comraderie, and a pleasant time. However, if anyone, from any central ruling body ie, USPSA, Steel Challenge, IDPA etc... had been watching, they would have had a fit. It is a bad idea to ever use reactive targets and .22's. I dig that this was done to include more groups, but it came at a cost. A lot of "hits" werent hits, thus giving a false score. Timers didnt pick up some shots, and not just .22's, also giving a false score. In the end, this really nice group of guys put on a fun match, that ended with an innaccurate scoresheet.

Mike, sorry that FNS was not up to your standards.

Ignore him, he's a jerk anyway. Craig, Nick, Rhino just want you to know I had a good time. Next time you need somebody to take dead last in the 22 rifle division, just let me know. I'm your man!
