I'm cranking out ammo as we speak, for those damn Texas Stars!!! So don't anyone laugh when I blast at the damn thing with every round in the mag!

Evil bastards!

It's my first match and I have never shot a Texas Star, should I shoot limited for the extra rounds?

I was just being a dork...I suck shooting steel is all.

NO worries bud, just come out and have a good time...just don't shoot better than me

This match is going to be challenging for your first one. Small targets everywhere and longer stages. However, I wouldn't change divisions just based on the challenge. IF you get stuck not being able to clear a star (and Brent's little 2" or 3" or whatever plates are challenging), don't let it get to you. Focus on front sight and trigger control. If you've shot at each plate and empty a mag yet haven't cleared them all, you have the option to stuff more ammo in and keep trying or to go ahead and move on to the next part of the course... sometime folks hurt their score by banging away endlessly vs just taking the miss penalties. You need to fire at least once at every target to avoid additional penalties. TX stars are a lot of FUN, don't let them get inside your head before you've even shot one!

See you there.

Well h3ll, I've got 8 mags i can load. I'm sure i can get through knocking every plate down. .........I hope. I'm actually feeling pretty confident about this match, maybe even beat someone that's not a rookie (like that guy two posts up).

The trick to shooting the star is start from the bottom and work your way up...

For some reason it seems as if your pulling my leg. Common physics tells me knocking the bottom of first will cause a greater spin.
Hopefully I'm not first.

Great, I think I'm going to have to run to the shop and pick up more mags/carriers/mirrors and somehow attach a bench rest to my forearm for going pronestyle!

I figured there'd be some hazing! Wait, isn't "hazing" illegal nowadays?

Don't let anyone scare you. The 3" star is more mental than hard to shoot. The big stars move way more than the small one. Above all just have fun at the match and you will be a star pro by the end of the match!! See you at the range!!

 

[romack991]

Damn this is going to be fun!!!!
