Seriously? I'll have to check it out. My comment about the mag change wasn't a dig by the way, just a suggestion. I remember one day either shooting a stage, or watching video of me shooting a stage and thinking, "Why am I looking around so much? I know where every is and where it goes." I think that is one of those habits that is difficult to break, since you generally look at The things you are doing with your hands.
Any idea when the results might be up?
November.
Vanniek71: I just joined IDPA and PM'd you my member number like you suggested. Would mind writing my number on my score sheet before you submit it please?
I didn't take it as a dig and you are right. I just meant that I HAVE practiced many a mag change without looking. Granted, that was with my brokos belt and not that mag carrier I had on, but it shouldn't have made a difference. I was just rattled and and trying to get through it without a major screw-up and the little fundamentals I have developed went right out the window. Maybe I'll practice mag changes in the shower instead of singing.Quote:

I do too, so they will always be posted 1-2 days after the match. They are also sent out to the google group.
If you want to improve your scores (reduce your reload times), your focus will be on the edge of the magwell during reloads. Of course if you have another reason or purpose to do it another way, that is certainly your choice.Quote:

I saw that this evening. Glad to have mine official now.
Thank you to everyone involved in the match today. I can't think of another way I would rather spend a Saturday...
Well, I could, but most of them would land me in jail or divorce.

Ah, yes. Well. There was a significant cross-wind that caused rounds to drift when engaging targets inside six feet. Had it not been for that wind I'm sure all of these shots would have landed on the mark. Climate change caused by global warming, which if you are paying attention only started when politicians gained access to wider audiences and could talk more often, caused a differential temperature and humidity gradient that deflected shots from around six to twenty feet. I blame Coriolis on everything out past twenty feet or so.Quote:

Vanniek, now that we've established that we can shoot two guns, make sure to remember to change the website to say $20 per gun, instead of $20 per shooter. Thanks for letting me shoot two guns by the way, and thanks for everyone that helped me facilitate that. I don't know that I'd do it again though, as it was a bit of a pain to keep changing guns and keeping track of mags and different calibers and such. Sure kept me busy all day though.
A fun match with a bunch of friendly people! Thanks again for organizing this great event!
Good time for sure
glad you all had fun, thanks for coming out!
I will change the website about the added gun, completely forgot about it.
Fun match with a good mix of field stages and standards tests. Gotta work on my weak hand skills, for sure. The Bear stage was a really cool way to repackage all of the fundamental elements of an El Presidente drill.
Scores are up. I wish I could remember which stages were which. I always forget the by times scores come out. I(ll have to start writing them down.
Stage 1 - Hard cover freestyle, strong hand, weak hand
Stage 2 - Charging bear
Stage 3 - Start with retention, switch to strong hand, then free style, then move and shoot remaining targets
Stage 4 - Hands on head start, and shooting moving targets as you moved to final shooting position
Stage 5 - The one we ran without cover, uspsa style
Hope that helps
Looks like decent weather for shooting tomorrow.
Who's coming out to the prairie?

I'm in. Need to practice up for a run at a match bump in Montrose, UT or NM later this year.
I am!
Going to have to work; July isn't going to be a good month for matches even though I got a USPSA in while nobody was looking. Hopefully August will work out better.
You all have fun out there! Wander down to the West and check out the new 100 and 200 yard berms...
I'll be there!
Good thing July is almost over.Quote:

There some good scores today. Everybody seemed to be shooting pretty well.

I hate it when I'm excited about having a fast day, only to find that everyone else had a fast day as well and I'm in my usual spot. I got fourth over all on Stage 3, but the margins on that stage were so close it didn't really help me get ahead.
I like that a lot of the shooters are right around my skill level.
Edit: Near last place on stage 2 really hurt me.
Glad you guys had fun, although not as practical as usual, it was fun!
Just a reminder that this month's match is canceled due to state match in Montrose.
Looks like August isn't working out well either...matches getting canceled, this time! Hope we are still shooting steel on Saturday; should be able to make that.Quote:

All our SO's are certified on the new rules and ready to go. Please take some time to read and become familiar with them before 26th of Oct.
Aaaand for those of you that don't want to look for the new rules......here you are http://members.idpa.com/Content/Rules/g0hunysc.eoc.pdf
The weather is looking up for tomorrow's match at CRC, we just have to get thought this evenings rain. Should be clear and sunny with a high of 66 but plan for a cold start for setup. If anything should change I'll update you all here, but we should be good.
First I would like to thank J for the stage designs for the match tomorrow as well as Scott LaPaglia for his continued support with the new shooter orientation. As Kris had mentioned earlier, he and several of the other regulars will be out of town at the Utah State IDPA Match so I'll be standing in as match director. Please excuse my lack of participation over the first few months of Eastern Colorado IDPA's existence, I had intended to be much more active but medical issues had sidelined me. I'm looking forward to assisting with more matches from here on out. In order to help me out I'd like to ask one thing of the SOs and go over a couple items.
- Since I don't know who all the SO's are I'd like to ask that all SO's that have been running squads or are comfortable being the primary SO please write a big "SO+" at the top of your score sheet when you hand it in. If you're an SO that would not like to be the primary SO on a squad please write a big "SO-" so I can pair you up with another SO to run the squad together.
- If you're attending your first IDPA match, the new shooter meeting will start at9am and is mandatory. Please remember that CRC runs a cold range so no loaded firearms unless it's done at the direction of an SO.
- Shooters meeting will start at 9:30am and will include a complete walk through all 5 stages with Justin providing the stage description so everyone hears the plan directly from the stage designer. As soon as we're done with the walk though we'll break into squads and get down to business at or before 10am as soon as the walk though is done. Please plan to arrive and be registered about 9amunless you're a new shooter and you should be registered by 8:30am
- If you are shooting with others that would like to be in a squad together, please hang onto all your score sheets until your complete party is onsite and then register together and turn all score sheets in together with one of the corners dogeared so I can keep them together.
More details and directions to CRC can be found at the Eastern Colorado IDPA website: http://ecoidpa.com
We plan to have the gate open and starting setup by 7:30am. Hope to see you all out there!
Thanks,
Jason
