IDPA - Red Brush - Nov. 5th

Had an AWESOME time! Tammy shot excellent for a new shooter and I would honored if she shot with us again!

Steve, an absolutely EXCELLENT side match!

Speaking of... Can't wait for the scores

 

[DustyDawg48]

It was an awesome time with good people and great weather! Glad to also put names and faces together, too! Can't wait for the December match!

All I can say about today is I'm very thankful for Lachetta's house course- that was great and redeemed the day for me. May just be me, but the postal courses just didn't do it for me- and starting on the longest, hardest to score COF probably didn't help. I was happy to get out of that bay.

The rifle course was great- good job Steve! Not a very high round count, but some good things to test on and now practice on. Congrats to TF and Mudcat Jr for redeeming themselves from the outright spanking they got last week. Granted, they had to get a practice run with optics to beat me, but beat me they did Looks like 50 yards is you boys' sweet spot- leave the long distance stuff to me

Note to self- quite milking the trigger when prone!

And, Ben, no matter what else is said in this thread I just want you to know that "I'll believe anything you say" Classic!

I don't think you were the only one. I love the concept of the postal matches but that weird one we started out with was a real drag; I'm glad we had some good stages after. I liked the airplane stage and the house is always interesting!

I wish I could rep you for that and I am so glad someone else heard it!!!! Classic Scott Hurt line right there...

 

[sbcman]

Wow- great run by everyone today! Congrats to Mudcat Jr- best overall score with 82.84!

And I FINALLY broke under 200- points down were way too many, but I'll take it, cause I'm a gamer.

Don't hate the playah!

Edit: Congrats AGAIN to Mudcat Jr- best in optics and irons in the sidematch. We really need to get that guy a wife and about 5 kids.

YES! January Shotgun Sidematch! I will be wearing my ushanka.

I'm just glad I didn't have to come on here and state that I got beat by my ole lady!!

I was thinking she had you too!

Still waiting for those sidematch scores... GOT EM!

Well at least I beat Scott Hurt, AGAIN...

Wonder if he'll believe me this time?

 

[sbcman]

Of course, anything you say

 

[redbaron]

I was thinking she had you too!

I think she had me till the last stage. She missed both dogs.

 

[Titanium_Frost]

Yep. That probably did it. If you have been around as many dogs as I have for as long as I have you wouldn't mind shooting a few of them...

 

[redbaron]

I still think Scott should have named that course "The Zoo"!

 

[DustyDawg48]

I gotta get a rifle, you guys have all the fun on the carbine courses

 

[sbcman]

Do it quickly. I overheard Steve and Ben mention something about Steve doing them every other month and Ben saying "I'll do it next month." Don't know what that means- but that's justification for getting a carbine if I ever heard it.

Also, go ahead and get that Saiga 12 you saw and we'll convert it. Then come January you'll be ready.

 

[DustyDawg48]

I do think that every other month is definitely the way to go; I'm hoping to be able to participate sometime soon. I need to get my ammo stash back up to acceptable Zombie Apocalypse quantity level and then I'm off and running on a rifle purchase.

 

[Mudcat]

Sounds like you all had a good time. I will be there next month and I am in good graces with the wife after yesterday.

 

[scowens]

Glad everyone had fun! I was dog tired when I got home last night. Then had to get up at 02:00 or 03:00 hrs., whatever, to get my daughter from BOA, where, once again, the southern band came in last....again...go figure .
Anyways, interesting COF on the side-match. Even designing the COF and going over and over on it, I didn't "appreciate" the challenges that were there, while designing it. Sounded like everyone enjoyed it. I'll put it in the file....you'll see it again .
I'm thinking that the next side match this January, good Lord willing and the creek don't rise, I'll use the truck. For the older members here, remember the rifle racks in trucks? That would be Mudcat, me and .... oh never mind! What do you think about including about 3 slugs, the rest will be shot, in the COF?

 

[Titanium_Frost]

I vote against slugs, but it would make it interesting at the same time. I just haven't put the time in with them. Mostly because they are so expensive.

Hey Steve, I've only ran two of your sidematches. The shotgun match, in my opinion, wasn't nearly as much a "skill set" match as the carbine match yesterday. The shotgun match was more fun- well, anytime I can "air out" the Saiga 12 is fun for me- but the carbine match was more beneficial to learning. For example, yesterday on the small popper you said I was shooting left. I couldn't figure out why till I laid on the floor in my bedroom prone and did some dry-fire. Yep- I see why now, the mag was working as a pivot point and the rifle wasn't snugged back tight. Every squeeze of the trigger moved the sights left. LESSON LEARNED- thanks!

I also liked the 3 courses yesterday as compared to the 1 cof on the shotgun.

As for the shotgun course, put the slugs in, TF needs to learn to shoot them (). My only comment with shotgun courses is that if Saigas have to have their own class, let us run full out, mags full. Otherwise, we should just run with the other semis. Maybe the rules bind you to the other way, I don't know, just a thought.

 

[Titanium_Frost]

Another vote for full capacity Saigas. If they are in their own class why not?
