Interesting, I'll have to ask about that at our next match.

Had a good Classifier Saturday, 13-05 Tick Tock. Scored a HF of 7.0381!

Yea...I was confused because I thought if you shot a target and grazed a wall or barrel you don't the target scored. I'm trying to find out what the official rule is.

If nothing else, it was pretty funny, and the highlight of my day!

Looks like it depends if it is specified as soft or hardcover...

Clear as mud.

This will help...



...thing is "I" don't know if it was defined as soft or hard cover in the stage description. Looks like I'll be checking in the future!

I am slightly annoyed that I do not have video of my crash and burn from my last match...it isn't very often that you get to use your shoulder as a landing skid, manage to avoid breaking 180 or grinding your pistol in the dirt and still finish the stage.

...we had a guy fall over a barrel this past weekend, did a face plant, rolled and managed to not break the 180...it was pretty comical!!!! Couldn't believe it!

The part that surprised me the most was I still finished in the middle of the pack on that stage. Time is hard to judge when you know the timer is running but it felt like I was on the ground for about five minutes. I guess I got up and moving much more quickly than I thought

It was either the "Adrenaline" or the "Embarrassment Factor"!!!!

Both...

Today's USPSA match was the last indoor match for the season. Had a good day, only one "Delta", no "Mikes" and one "NS" that just barely cut the perf on a tough target.

There were only 3 CO shooter, two “Bs” and me, unclassified. Accuracy wise, on 3 of the four stages, I scored more raw points. I just need to speed up my stage times!!! To put it in perspective, they shot the stage below 10 seconds faster than I did! Overall I did feel good about my stage execution, I followed my plan on all of them…I think that’s a first! . The indoor stages are tough, as they’re a lot of “hidden” targets. You just have to remember where to access them. Really makes you think!

Seeing it was the last indoor match of the season, there was a pizza party after the shoot. I was talking to Neal and Sebastian, two other CO shooters, and they said I was doing well for only shooting 5 USPSA matches, so that was encouraging.

Here's Stage 1. There was a "bonus" target that was hidden and quickly exposed with a popper activated target. I got a double "bravo" on it which was nice.

Good job. Nice shooting

Boy-oh-boy, that was a one & done. Cover target flipped down and right back up. Good shooting.

Here's the "GoPro" perspective in case anyone was interested...

Yea...didn't have much time on that covered target. Lucky to get a couple quick shots off and two decent hits.
