Nice seeing everyone today. Thanks for letting me shoot through your Chrono Mike and Sean, I really appreciated that.

It was definitely a good time today. Hell, I even shot a perfectly clean stage. I won't comment on the other four stages.

Always a good time with our squad.

I moved well yesterday and didn't shoot any hostages/innocents, but accuracy was mediocre at best. Been slacking on dry fire practice.

Good match. I'm glad that I got to squad with some of you that I typically don't get to. The stages were pretty good, but a couple significant mistakes cost me.

We were glad as well. I like to change up squads on occasion to check out who is doing what. Thanks again for letting me use your chrono after the match.

Scores are up, by the way.

Anyway we can run the fifth stage with a dueling tree or something? Just have pre-printed, blank bracket sheets. Randomly fill in all the shooters' names, and the stage is run as a single round elimination where winner goes on to next round until only one shooter is left. Wouldn't be scored like a regular stage, but would be fun for bragging rights. Then, after all the stages have been shot, the winners of each group would shoot against each other. I bet a lot of people would stay to watch that.

If you only have one thing like two Texas-Stars, or two plate racks, then there shouldn't be much for the RO to have to watch all at once. Plus, there are usually enough regulars to have someone volunteer as an extra score keeper.

I had considered the idea of just having the stage set up with four identical targets on each side, but then you have to keep track of movement for two people at once, so just a stationary plate rack would be safer.

We do have 2 Texas Stars. and we have a dueling tree. We are working on getting a plate rack, but we don't have one yet.

As far as range use issues such an idea is not an problem though?

You mean by having two shooters at once?

[Irving]

Yeah, pretty much.
