2 Gun Match Pics And Video

Just some fun from the match Saturday. I'm the ugly guy in the blue shirt.

Stage 1. Running backwards with the handgun. A great way to get DQ'd for breaking the 180 rule. After the last match I was quite careful. Quite. Cool red shoes eh?

Running the P226 on Stage 2. You can see the dump box on my left where I ditched the handgun and picked up my rifle.

Stage 3 at the 100 yard line. Those targets were hard to see. I was clean from here.

Then run up to the 50 and shoot them again. I was clean here as well. If you enlarge that picture and look between the silhouette on the right and that flash target to it's left you'll see a very small popper. Not too bad at 50 but barely visible at 100 yards, even a 4 power. The iron sight shooters had fits. From here we went to the pistol for shots and 50 and 25 yards.

Stage 4. The pistol. A modified El Presidente. 6 shots on 3 targets, reload and 6 shots.

Ditch the pistol and go to the rifle. 6 Shots, reload and 6 shots. Fast and fun.

Here's a video done by a buddy. It's an overview of the match. You can see my performance on the 100 yard stage at about 1:07. You can hear the hoots after I went clean. Awesome. Yep, that's my home range.
 


It was a fun match shot with a bunch of great guys and good shooters. That guy in the last photo with me, wearing the black long sleeve shirt, was the Open shooter who beat me. I hate him :) Really good dude and one heck of a shooter.

Til next match. You all stay safe and go turn some money into smoke and noise.

Looks like a great day! Wish we had been there, I'm sure Mom takes much less embarrassing pictures than I would:) And thanks for the Paws bump. I was just thinking about doing that. One more example of brain sharing!
