Monday night Pin Shoot @ Bristle Cone shooting.

[colorider]

Not part of the staff, just a frequent visitor who helps set up.
Sneakerd, I'm med size. 5'10.5. Bald head w a goatee. Big nose. Wear in the ear electronic hearing protection. Usually flapping my jaw with other guys. RW and Bryan tend to give me grief so its easy to spot me. In the briefing they always call my name loudly and just my last name. Zarlengo. I supplied them with the pins for the shoots.

Oh...I assumed since you worked closely with the owners and RW that you were part of match staff.

Open vs Iron Sights is obviously not an equitable match up, ESPECIALLY INDOORS, as you can see with multiple people grumbling about it. Instead of giving an Open shooter the stink eye, and encouraging them not to bring their Open gun, why not change the format to make it a fair match up?

Perhaps you could suggest it to the match staff?

I'll be there again at 5pm next Monday. White hair, glasses, trim moustache. Regular street clothes, no gun advertisements. The last 3 weeks I was shooting an Ed Brown standard Special Forces model.

Not everyone has cush 9-5 schedules ya know..... lol

[sneakerd]

Yup- it's all about the schedule. I'm off that day.

I don't understand why everyone doesn't draw from the holster and shoot at 5 pins from 15 yards. How is anyone supposed to get better if it isn't hard? I didn't say anything earlier because I realized I can't comment since I haven't even attended. I'll have to see if I can break my Monday commitment some time to make it down there.

ETA: I imagine bowling pins is the step before a Texas star (which is my nightmare). Is that about right from you guys that have shot this match?

WAYYYYYYY late responding. From what i understand there was a guy in a wheelchair shooting a few weeks back. For someone like him or myself, shooting from holster may not be doable, or safe.
This is also set up as a fun shoot, based on what i've been reading. You want competition, bring some cash and let me know when you're going. I'll charge up the rascal and meet you there

[sneakerd]

I'm guessing that they wanted something fairly easy at the start to see where it would go. Make it more inclusive. I'm quite happy trying to get better at 7 yards long before I have to shoot at 15.

[Irving]

Not to mention that misses at 7 yards can be quite a bit more humbling than misses at 15 yards.
