The rifle match was a quickie today, because we had just 5 shooters. We shot three of the pistol stages from the USPSA match (minus the steel) and were done in probably 30 minutes. Our match winner was Wayne Alcock, mostly due to his quick work in the pistol classifier (and the fact that he shot a major gun).
The results are here.
If you wussed out and didn’t show up because it was “too cold”, you should be ashamed. It was a bit breezy, but by the time the Sun came up, it had warmed up to almost 40° and by the time the match ended, it was 50°. We did have 17 shooters who did think it would be worth it and we had a great match. We shot 5 stages, with lots of steel and the new MGM Whirly-Gig target (aka: Texas Star).
Things went pretty smoothly with no real hiccups in the stages or the scores. There were no bottlenecks or DQ’s. So, it was a great day. Let’s get to the results. Read more…
The results are in! We had 13 shooters today (on SuperBowl Sunday) competing over 4 tough stages. The weather was a bit iffy in the morning, and the drive up the hill was a challenge for the early birds, but everyone made it in OK. It ended up a pretty nice day, weather-wise, too.
Before the scores, a brief explanation of the scoring. Each stage is scored by raw time plus penalty time. The shooter with the lowest total time is awarded 100 stage points. Every other shooter earns a percentage of the 100 points based on their performance, compared to the top shooter. The shooter’s total time is divided into the top shooter’s total time to get a percentage of the total available points.
The results aren’t too much of a surprise, but it was close. Read more…
The results for the shotgun have been posted. We had 6 shooters hang around for the scattergun fun, and we shot 3 decent stages of fun. Today was birdshot and slugs. Once again, if you can load your shotgun rapidly, you do well.
The match winner was Cameron Thompson by over 14 seconds. But, best of all, two of the new pistol shooters also stuck around to shoot shotgun as well. Thanks, guys!
The final scores are posted here.
The scores have been edited and updated to reflect Cameron shooting Minor. He was originally scored as Major. He still won Limited, though. Sorry folks, it was a long day.
The pistol results are in (finally)! But, they are subject to the following. The score sheet for Nick Saucier for Stage 3 was messed up. It is incomplete and unusable, so it hasn’t been included in the scores. Nick shot Limited, and shot well, but the loss of all the points from a stage certainly affected the Limited scores. He wouldn’t have won, but he might have moved up one spot. Nevertheless, the rest of the scores were respectable. (Update: Nick’s score sheet for stage 3 has been deciphered. His scores are now correct, along with the rest of the match scores).
We had 15 shooters for the first match of the year, which is decent, but not great. We did have three brand new shooters with us today (Gus, Reed and Tony). They did great, especially for new shooters. They shot safely and displayed excellent pistol handling skills. If they continue to shoot, their times will no doubt improve. Thanks for coming out, guys. I hope you come back next month. Read more…
We ended up the year with a bang. We had a GREAT turnout today, considering the weather. In all, 28 shooters braved the overcast and breezy conditions to shoot another great 5 stage match. We had quite a few new shooters today and we really appreciate their participation in our match. Hopefully, they will come back next year for more great shooting.
Once again, the match ran smoothly, with no scoring miscues and no stage confusion. Thank you to the scorekeepers for paying attention and writing clearly.
Before getting to the results, I want to thank everyone who helped set up or tear down. We had lots to attend to and the help was really appreciated.

What a difference a month makes. Last month, we had the fiasco of the scoring screw-ups that caused no end of problems. This month, everything went great with the scores. All scores were recorded, and other than a few cases where steel wasn’t totaled into the A hits, everything was done right. Thanks to those that kept score correctly!
The weather was pretty good today, with a light overcast sky once and a while and very nice temperatures. We had 26 shooters show up to today to do battle with 5 really great stages. Well, I guess that would be 4 great stages and a surprisingly difficult classifier. There were four who zeroed the classifier and only two who shot it clean. Because of the design, it tended to clump the penalties, with a miss turning into a no-shoot as well in lots of cases. We will try to do better next time.

Ok, shooters. We have made an investigation and have decided this. Max watched Spanky’s video and is sure the squad engaged all 16 targets. So, we will remove the 2 Mike/1 Procedure from each squad 2 shooter and replace them with one A and one C. It isn’t perfect but this match is just for fun. Those new scores are here. This allows us to use all 5 stages. If you feel this isn’t fair, then be all means, use the scores that throw out stage 3, found here.

I just can’t believe more people didn’t show up today! The weather was fantastic. The rain had passed through last night and the skies were clear. The temperature was about 68 and the wind was non-existent. What a great day!
