This was our first EAPS match. We are new to the game, having only shot two or three matches last year with Cajun Action Shooters. We brought three juniors and we were happy to see that everyone was “kid friendly” for the most part. They guys on our squad, Mike, Joe and Brandon were patient and very helpful explaining the rules and offering tips and suggestions. We have 10 kids in our shooting group ages 6 to 17. Our goal is to increase junior participation. We had some gun problems today. The front sight on one of the Glocks loosened up and the rear sight on one of the M&Ps drifted to the left. We also found that we need more mag pouches. Everyone had a good time and we plan on coming back next month with a couple of more juniors.

I just want to say that the rock concert at the HOB Saturday night was much more fun than waking up early to head to EAPS :P

That's why I should have put it in the middle. Just one of the many lessons learned yesterday.

I've watched the video a few times now, and still don't see what you did.

Spanks, I can show you how to avoid that problem. Course design has nothing to do with it.

Putting the table in the middle would have ben more neutral, but there still would have ben a reload coming back to the door for the prod guys, every stage is going to have area's that both left and right hand shooters need to be aware of, sucks it happend to ya Spanky

I know what would have prevented it. However, tips are always appreciated.

It didn't happen to me, I did it to myself. You're right about that happening in lots of stages. It just bit me this time. I'm okay with it. I learned some valuable lessons.

You need to look at that video again, on stage number 2 and the minute counter was like 0:45 right when they scream "muzzle, all stop" cant miss it.

You are now a member of one of the 2 unpublished clubs in USPSA. Shooters who have been DQ'd and shooters who will be DQ'D.

I hear it. But what did he muzzle causing a DQ? The 180? Himself?

 

[Zero.40]

he broke the 180 when he made the reload. witch ever way u go u all ways have to be aware of the gun. thats to everyone. stages like put ur muzzle control to the test. hey long as a DQ does not happen at a big mach then everything is ok. i see a lot of people get down on them at a local mach when they DQ to the point they leave. if u DQ stick around and help.
