EAPS USPSA - Sunday June 20, 2010

[spanky]

Bump for setup tomorrow! The more the merrier (and the faster we get done).

 

[Gus McCrae]

I'll be there in the morning. Hopefully we can knock it out quickly!

What is the condition of the range? If the ground gets too wet we may need to modify stages to limit movement to avoid tearing up the range.

 

[spanky]

It's bone dry.

 

[beauxdog]

The grounds was the only thing bone dry, we were soaking wet. It's HOT, bring plenty of water.

So I was standing here practicing reloads when all of a sudden I hear thunder, only to look outside to find what had been a cloudless, hot, sunny day has suddenly turned into a thunderstorm.

Holy crap I think that lightning bolt literally struck within 100 yards of here...

What is the deal with this? It has barely rained all week and all of a sudden it decides to pour the night before the match?

 

[Leadslugga]

Checking the radar map, it seems that the worst of it is right over me, one exit west, but it is still raining at the range. I hope it isn't too much water.

 

[spanky]

As long as it doesn't rain all night, it should be fine.

 

[Leadslugga]

Weather report for tomorrow says there will be isolated T-storms (30% percip.) all day except from 9am -12pm, so hopefully that means all the rain will be kind enough to wait until after the match is over and hopefully not come down to hard right before.

 

[Gus McCrae]

The ground was as hard as rock. It will take lots of water to change it.

 

[brackishgunner]

I am a competition newb and will be showing up tomorrow. I shoot pretty well with my 1911, but own no holster for it.

I carry a Kahr P9 and don't shoot as well with it, but I would like to compete with it.

I don't shoot well enough with either gun to threaten the leader board, I'm sure, but my ego is crying for me to shoot the gun (1911) that will garner the better score.

But shooting my carry gun just seems to make more sense from a "get something out of the event" poiint of view.

I am really looking forward to my first event. I was very disappointed that last month rained out.

me and a buddy of mine are coming to check it out. neither of us have shot in any competitions so want to come and see hows it works. If I want to come and shot in the next one do I need to be a member?

 

[kz45]

If your left handed I have a holster for your 1911

 

[brackishgunner]

If your left handed I have a holster for your 1911

THanks, but a righty. I'll stick with the P9, I think. I'm just competing against me

No you do not.

However, you're doing yourself a disservice by not shooting. If you have the necessary gear, there's no reason not to. Let someone that looks like they know a thing or two know that you're new and they'll make sure you're squadded with some experienced shooters.

 

[smith625]

You may as well shoot everybody has a first match, you will kick yourself till the next one.

 

[flamatrix99]

We still get a classifier, right?

Maybe I'd be in for two: Limited and Single Stack...need to make up some ground before the weather gets too hot

Before?????

 

[LSUrifle]

Great match but it was hot as hell

 

[scooterj]

I bet hell is about 10 degrees cooler!!!
It was good to get out and see some of my old friends and meet some new ones too.

 

[spanky]

Scores!
