I’m just curious how you even got that...did you have to drive over to his place, snap a pic, wait at the one hour photo shop and then scan it to the hard drive?

Just because I don't have the technology, doesn't mean I don't know how to use the technology... :laffs:

So, here's the shakedown... When we signed up, we ended up in Squad 4 (of 5 squads), so we started on Stage 4, and went 5, 1, 2, 3, done. Stg 1 was at the bottom of the hill, 5 at the top, all shooting into this valley. There must be 60 or 70 pieces of steel out there, all over this valley.

I prepped all my dope cards the night before, and moved them onto 3x5 cards, for that wrist-coach. Worked VERY well, for having the stage info right there.

Stage 4 SUCKED!!! It was supposed to be standing inside the jungle gym, rifle at port arms, fire all target sets from a different triangle in the jungle gym. We got there, and the squad daddy says, "I had no idea this jungle gym was this small, so we start on a knee, inside, and you can fire one set from the prone..." My turn came up, and I put the bipod legs down and was going to brace them against the bars of the jungle gym - barricade the gun. That thing was moving all over, so I tried to sling up tight to help - blew the sling out of the Timber Creek QD socket, right away. So,I said fuk it, barricaded the bipod and went for it. Timed out on that stage. I saw a few guys START from the prone, and that's what I should have done. Get hits from the easy position, then move into those triangles. I learned...

Next was Stg 5, the timber pile. This was a really cool stage. I did better on this one, but still timed out. Here's Tommy shooting it:

Stg 1 was the timed stage, and the only one I cleaned in time. 9 targets, out to 505 (longest). Matt spotting on Stg 1, then Tommy shooting it:

Stg 2 next, start from the pipe pyramid, hit the two 460s, move to the trailer, hit the 460s again, then work your way down the canyon...

Here's me at the trailer - that thing was moving all over when you tried to lean into it. No barricading that one, so I put the rifle up on top of the trailer rail and went for it.

Stg 3 was the last one for us. Supposed to be dark red with white outline, but by the time we got there, all the paint was shot off the targets. Start from the top of the spool, move, shoot them all again. I got all the ones from the top of the spool, but timed out after moving...

I saved the large format pics of the downrange stuff, so I'll work on making some composite pics over the next few days. Next match is June 26th! Can't WAIT!!!
