Innovation in shooting events

[Good on paper]

I was referring to the head to head steel race.

Im not saying that we shouldn’t score it and everyone should get a participation cookie at the end but there has to be some kind leveling because the 2 guys with a 9mm ARs are always going to come out on top.
I’m an upper B level shooter, what level shooter would it take to beat me with a wheelgun? I’m not saying it couldn’t happen because I’m sure there are revolver guys that could smoke me on a 12 round COF.

To keep it fun and interesting I think there has to be some kind of leveling.

Hence the mandatory reload. After that they are on their own.

Hey I’m game!
You guys have a lot more experience putting theses things together and I certainly appreciate the effort put into it.
I’d like to get more involved once I’m back in town.

I think something like this could be a good time.
Double elimination?
Buy back in to a losers bracket?
Who am I kidding it will take place on a weekend when I have to work.

I did this to eliminate the excuses for the wheel gun crowd and the small gun crowd. To be honest I hated doing it. But it is working out. The low capacity guns are not the ones winning the match or even placing at the top.

Hmmm, what is a good choice for a carry pistol match gamer gun then? Maybe a 4" XD?

The only thing an XD is good for is level a table if one leg is an inch or so shorter than the others.

Lol, that's the first pistol I ever bought, back in 2011. Now I want to take it to your carry match. I'll have to take the laser off so I don't get bumped to open...

My XD was a turd.

Leave it on and come on down. Still looking for an Open gun to win HOA. This would be a great thing for observations. Great shooter and ****ty gun, what will the results be?

Lol. I think Tim would turn some heads.

 

[riverman67]

He is one of those guys you would like to hate because he's so damn good.
You can't bring yourself to do it because he's so damn nice.

I'm good enough at hating that I could manage it. I get lots of practice!

Fall Creek Valley does this every 1st & 3rd of the month. It's a mirrored course of fire with about half that number of targets though. Normally ends with a dueling tree. Sometime they do round limits. It's very informal & fun. Open to non-members too. Check the calendar for times. $5 for members. Not sure about non-members $. There's one next Friday.

Fall Creek Valley Conservation Club

There website shows the third Friday of the month at 5:30p. Has anyone been there for this match?

August 26th, Covington Ohio

I will likely be going to Atlanta USPSA match that weekend

 

[Trapper Jim]

Any time we have more matches to go to it is a good thing. In the 70's we had to drive 4 hours just to go to a combat match ran with a whistle and a stopwatch.. way to go Riley boys!!!


happy new year!!!!

First Sunday of the Month is open in Northern Indiana. No USPSA anyway. I know there is a Saturday match for the first weekend in Lafayette. But nothing on Sunday.

These matches are a huge undertaking and there are very few people with the free time or the qualifications to put one on. For the few that do I salute you and appreciate every thing you give so we all can enjoy the sport. Maybe someday I will be able to afford the time to assist.

Don’t forget about CAS too!
