June 2nd, IDPA, Red Brush Rifle Range

[DustyDawg48]

You know, I completely forgot a key part of my competition regime. If you truly want to perform at the very top.............................................













Find a division there is literally no one else in- ESR or SSR are great candidates

No shame in strategy! Like in baseball, you gotta hit 'em where they ain't...and in IDPA you gotta shoot 'em where they ain't! That is why I'm in CDP 2nd only to the revolver division in fewest shooters! LOL

As I mentioned to you a couple weekends ago

Things would be so much easier if we had Tee shirts.


A RedBrush thread that I need to re-read when I get home and then ponder quite a bit is a neat new experience.
That said, I've got to admit that TJ and Mike were right about the qualifier. This stuff would mean so much more if it came from experts.

I see what you did there- good one!

Since we're on the topic of tips (and, as usual, well off the thread) give this stage a look:

This is from a match I'll be in this weekend. The idea is that you are in a public toilet, have to shoot a blind target behind the stall door, go prone and engage the rest of the targets in priority.

The middle shoot all the way at the end- that's 30 yards.

So, if any experts () have any ideas for running it, let me know.

Ben will be glad to know this course can be shot sans vest

Looks like a cool course. I like the non threats at the 30yd target too!

Sans vest but do you have to have your shorts around your ankles? Only way to properly simulate! LOL

I had a stage design/theme in mind where you had to wear a hospital robe and kept one hand in back in order to keep your hind-end from hanging out....strong hand only course obviously, but I thought it would make for a good time!

I'll probably like them so much that I'll put a round in each

What gets me about the course is being prone. I don't even practice going prone for hunting. I'm going to try sending a few downrange while prone today and see how it works out. Having the cylinder gap blast a few inches from my face, even with a 45, doesn't sound like a fun time.

I will have to bring that to their attention The hospital COF sounds great! TF would especially love it- he's into all things hospital and guns.

Ok I've been skim reading to catch up, all I caught was no concealment, Mike with his pants around his ankles and TJ going prone in a bathroom stall and someone shooting up a hospital...

Remind me why I hang out with you guys again?

 

[redbaron]

We shot prone at the March BGSL match. It was different to say the least.

You should be asking why DON'T you hang out with us guys MORE! THAT is the real question!

A few years ago at Red Brush there were several courses that had you going prone and shooting from around a line of horizontal drums both strong and support side. That was pretty cool..

The issue with going prone is you have to insure that somebody doesn't shoot UP and over the berms; you would have to push the courses of fire back along the rear berms to help catch all the rounds.

Just got in from doing some practice while prone. Found out three things- 1.) it's hot here and it's going to be really hot Saturday. 2.) I'm glad I left the hammer spur on my 625, single action is sweet sweet when you're prone at 30 yards. And 3.) I should probably concern myself more with reloads prone than the shooting

I've never been in a bathroom that would allow a 5 yard shot anywhere, much less 30, but evidently it can happen- they wouldn't make an IDPA course up out of nothing. Practical baby

Where you shooting this weekend? IDPA or USPSA?

Where you shooting this weekend? IDPA or USPSA?

IDPA- Middle Tennessee Southern Regional

This will be my first "major" match.

 

[redbaron]

Cool. Good luck!

TJ
Good luck and have fun.

 

[sbcman]

Cool. Good luck!

Thanks man! I'm looking forward to it. There's a fairly well known revolver Master in my division and I'd like to see where I compare. I already have one that does that for me in USPSA- he posted below your post

TJ
Good luck and have fun.

Thanks Paul! And congrats on your Revenge finish in MI.

 

[DustyDawg48]

Good luck man! I'd love to try and make a big match. One of these days! Let us know how it goes!

Thanks brother! I'm hoping to perform well. I can already tell it's going to be a new experience. 12 COFs, 94 degree TN heat, going live at 8:00am...it's gonna be good!

 

[DustyDawg48]

I'd love to hit one down there, love Tennessee! Take some pictures if you get the chance!

Sweet, now that's what I need. I now just need to get IDPA to create the "sucks pond water" division and I'm GOLDEN!!
