Match end time

[villageidiot]

It looks like you have quite a number of shooters, how late in the day do the matches normally run?

Thanks in advance.

Last month, if I didn't wait for the side match, I could have been done around 1:00pm. I waited till after 3:00pm, but ran out of time and still didn't get a chance to shoot the shotgun side match.

It varies by the amount of shooters, but if you have to go to work or something, just politely ask for you to be moved to the front of your group.

Anyone know if the match is still going to happen this Saturday after all this rain business?

thanks

Rain??? They got snow up there. Hopefully it melts off today and dries up a bit.

Check the forum one last time before you head up Saturday morning to make sure it is still on.

As far as match end time, usually between 1:00 and 3:00. Side matches have been known to go as late as 5:00.

Thanks Sticks. I figured it was snow. Either way, I hope the match is still a go.

Another great match today! It sure was chilly though. I wasted the sunscreen I put on at home. People were envious of my fresh, hot, homemade chili. The fog on the way up was pretty crazy as well. I started in Bay 3 with the Texas star in case anyone was in my group.

One of the Range Officers was talking about a double Texas star that was gear driven. I mentioned tossing some no-shoots into the mix and he said he's seen something like that. I came home and found this one.

Not a valid shooting challenge, bubblegum all the way. The scoring issues alone from frag and possible deflected bullets would be a reshoot nightmare. Doubt you'll ever see one of those in Eco.

...frag and possible deflected bullets...
Good point! I hadn't thought about that...

[Irving]

Speaking of frag, I took some shrapnel right in the throat today; it even drew blood. I was standing directly behind the shooter, and there was a prop between him and what he was shooting at, and between me and him. It was a magic ricochet.

I guess to get anything close, you'd have to just have two stars, with some of the front plates painted black. Not that I'd ever want to shoot one like that anyway.

I've been doing better every month so far this year. For the May match, I only had 2 seconds added for the whole match! My worst stage was my first, stage 3. I really shouldn't have shot in the -1 zone on those first two targets for how close they were. Oh well, there is always next month.
