November Match Three

Update: No scores published yet, but I think I beat Jon on a stage or two. My one goal was merely to stay ahead of New Guy Bob. I was shooting my Heavy Metal Line-up, while Bob had faster and/or higher cap weaponry all around. I could have added up all the score cards and known for sure, but I was tired.



Here's the November 3-Gun stages (accepted as proposed). The League Poobah's AOL (AOL! Yech! PTooie!) account might be puking out our previous Emails, so this is as much for him as it is for my precious trihoplophilic readers.

Pistol: Starting position Normal Ready behind Table A

On start signal engage P1 through P11, proceed to Box B and engage T1 through T5, avoiding the white sticks...these are your guns! Paper requires two hits to neutralize, all steel must fall.

Shotgun/Pistol: Starting position Shotgun at Port Arms behind Table A, loaded pistol in holster.

On start signal engage P1 through P11 with shotgun. Ground empty/safed SG, proceed to Box B and with pistol engage T1 through T5, avoiding the white sticks...these are your guns! Paper requires two hits to neutralize, all steel must fall.

(Jon painted the no-shoot sticks white and wrote on them in marker, "Your First Gun, Priceless" "Ruger 10/22, $180" "Your Dad's Favorite Rifle, $900" etc.) Those sticks sure got hammered.

    woo hoo!

    I love that little SOCOM. What happened when it jammed? Factory or handloaded stuff? Recoil looks to be pretty minimal...

    Is that range at Ben Avery?

    Great job shootin', and great job with the vid!!

    We had a blast!

    I was using milsurp 7.62 in the SOCOM; the jam was really an apparent light primer hit. Recoil is more straight-back with the excellent brake...and I seem to lose some oomph with the short barrel. What's dead-on at close range dropped to a foot low out at 75(?) yards. Jon thinks it's the way I hold it, but I shot kneeling instead of prone, like last time.
