When you said AaronM I thought you were referring to me.

Also, thanks again Coach, always a good time.

AaronM is your new alias Allen. Let's go with that for now.

Another fun match!

For funsies I decided to draw and use my second gun for the whole match. It was weird because when I draw that gun, it's usually because the one directly forward of it on my belt isn't there because I've already used it until it stopped shooting. I also fouled my draw with my shirt 7 of 7 times.

On the bright side, I shot a couple of really good 3-shot groups at 18 yards on stages 6 and 7. I was happy with that.


PEDANTRY ALERT! PEDANTRY ALERT!

What we did tonight technically wasn't a Mozambique. The textbook version of the Mozambique Drill requires an assessment after the two shots to the upper center chest before deciding to shoot the head shot. The reason for that is based on the real life incident that inspired the drill (two shots were fired to the body, the guy realized it wasn't working, and then fired the head shot). When you shoot two to the body and one to the head automatically with no assessment between, it's called a "Failure Drill."

Is Rhino:
A, Mozambique Drill purest

Or B, CDO (that's OCD with the letters in alphabetical order.)

Maybe C, all of the above!

What if you have both OCD and dyslexia?

What if you have both OCD and dyslexia?

So pausing to assess is the difference between a Mozambique Drill and Failure Drill?

And you compulsively transpose letters maybe?

Thanks coach.

Even for a new guy, these are are fun and I learn a lot.

Spread the word. Thanks for coming. Hoping to keep offering a quality product.

It''s worth the price of admission to see the new stages every match. I don't know how you come up with all the great ideas. Looking forward to the 12th.

[Coach]

I have the stages designed for the Feb Match, but have yet to do the stages for Feb 26. Looking for feedback from those who have shot one of the matches.

Give me some feedback:

Stepping into the box to simulate moving off the line of force?

"Battlefield" pick up?

T-shirt covered targets?

What do you like and what do you not like?

 

[Mattroth54]

Although I have nothing to compare, each stage challenged me very differently. Way more valuable than firing away from a stall. . Nothing negative to report other than my multiple errors and a few misses. I dug into the scoring today and was shocked how much a few penalties and misses set me back! Can’t wait to try again.

It was challenging and provided different challenges. I'd say keep doing what you're doing. The barrels were great, reloading and moving to the other side on the "failure drill" (not a true Mozambique Drill, right Rhino?) was awesome. Re-load and shoot with weak hand? That is something that we need to train on. Keep the battlefield pick up! Just don't put a gun in the gun vault I will want to buy (H&K VP9, very nice!) A S&W Model 29 may not be the best choice, but maybe a 686 or even a Blackhawk with .38 Special. Maybe an Uzi??

 

[PhxCollier]

I wonder if would be possible to include decision making into a stage. What I am thinking is a stage like far left side side where on start, you enter the stage and put two rounds each into the appropriate targets. But prior to shooting the stage, you don’t see where the bg targets are.

 

[BigMoose]

Damn this looks like fun. I may have to do this if you do this again.

I only have a 1911 though.

 

[nad63]

Keep the T shirts in. Bad guys don't go round with hit zones nicely outlined on their bodies. Liked the movement and barrels too.
Looking forward to whatever you put together for tonight. Keep up the good work.

 

[chezuki]

I’d like to see more plain T-shirts. Maybe on all targets. I could contribute some to the cause.

 

[E7Wrangler]

Thought/question on the t-shirts. Would be interested to see the results of plan t-shirts vs t-shirts with an off center logo/graphic that draws the eye. Would the shot tend to end up in the graphic rather than center mass.

Signed up for Feb 26 shoot and looking forward to this.
