I went over there and added a post to the announcement thread
How can a link not work? They are being little boys again. Everybody that shot the match knows where the results are so let's quit worrying about it.
I bet $5 they are over on another forum chatting about it and having a good laugh together. I wish they would grow up.
Glad everyone enjoyed the match. It's always great to see new shooters giving it a try. They always enjoy it and they always come back, keeping matches like these going and growing.
Folks said they liked Stage 4 where you backed up while shooting. What other stage elements would you like to see?
After shooting this (my first match) I feel I learned a lot from not only what I did (and didn't do), but also watching and talking with experienced shooters. Jesse gave me a really good explanation on the scoring system and some strategy for it. Reviewing my individual stage scores, I did not shoot any one stage clean, so I see how huge that is now. I shot 2 stages (2 & 3) with only 1 "D" penalty on each one, but had I shot those 2 clean my score would be better by 6 seconds.
Stage 3 I totally bombed, swinger tanked me. Stage 1, I think I just had the 1st time jitters and all I could think about after the buzzer was go fast, (and I'm not fast) ha!
I definitely have a goal for myself at the next one......shoot at least one stage clean, hopefully more, and build on that.
I envy you younger guys with good eyesight, being able to "call your shot" is huge. If I wear my bi-focals I can not see and focus on the front sight and sight picture properly. I opted to wear my "computer glasses" which let me focus on my front sight and get a good sight picture, but my distance is not sharp thus making calling a shot tough for me, especially for the brown on brown targets.
So I have a lot to learn, a lot of room for improvement, and ready to come back and give it another go!
yeah i agree burk, the brown on brown was killing me (or at least that is my excuse..)
