You guys are all OK to show up until the point that we go hot tomorrow. I have extra targets, so we are good.

Thanks for today's fun match.

I'm all for at least one "wildcard" stage in every match, and it's extra fun to have an entire wildcard match.

Thanks Rich and Brad for a great match today and congrats to the winners specially Sam that was solid shooting today

Thanks to everyone who put together and ran the match, nothing like a wildcard match to take you out of your comfort zone.

Thanks Rich for taking the time to come up with the COF.
I had a lot of fun!!

I am protesting my score, I've been cheated 30 points out of my score ,
Solo how is that for drama?

I protest my score too. I wasn't cheated out of anything, but I shot like shit. I have to start shooting more again.

To Ray's point, I think one spotter looking at two targets is necessarily going to result in mis-scoring. It's really difficult to spot two different targets well.

Remember guys...,


Good shooting Samson!

Yep, that it was. And good lessons learned. Starting off first with no spotters on dual targets again! If anything, two spotters on one target!

And yes, Samson earned every point that I saw on my side of the line, and it sounds like he gamed his spotting well too.....

Hahaha! And you guys thought Solo was the gamer!

Samson snuck in like a Ninja! I bet you will keep your eye on him next time!

What happened to Esteban? Why DNF?

I don't think anyone was trying to cheat someone else out of any points, human error? Maybe. It seems to me that the ones that feel "cheated" NEVER help spot or with any part of the match. They just show up and shoot. Maybe that's their way of being able to complain without being complained about. Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.

Hey guys, Micheal is right. We are all friends here. If you would like to blame somebody for any issues in spotting or anything else about the match, please direct it at me. I tried to put together a very different and fun match than was way outside the status quo for the club. There were a few stages that were a complete success, and others that were definitely flawed. I aspire to make matches better and better in the future for you guys. If anyone did not honestly feel that they got their money's worth on fun at the very least let me know, and I will personally take care of your match fees next time.

I thought it went pretty well. COF were challenging, but fun. I know I'm pretty new to the crew, but I'm not new to competition. Shooting has more sportsmanship in it then any other sport I've played. It's a monthly match fella's. It's all practice! If there are flaws, let's talk about how to improve it for next time!

I don't know how much of this sand in my vagina bitching is real or sarcasm. That said, this a local monthly match. Nothing on the line other than this months forum bragging rights. The MD and the spotters do the best they can. Every shooter can spot their own hits & misses and knows how they shot regardless of where they finished. Most everyone uses the monthly's as tune ups for bigger matches or just for shits & giggles. Save all the bitching about bad calls for the big matches, when it might be worth a plugged nickel. If you saw the impact but it wasn't called, shrug is off and move on. What is bitching about it going to accomplish at a monthly? You really want a Dog Tag that bad? You can have any of mine.

I can't help but think that some of these remarks are directed at me. Henry and I are at the center of the debated calls so I feel inclined to comment with all jokes aside.

When I spot, I put forth my best effort to accurately call impacts. That said, i can honestly say that every impact i called or didnt call on Sunday was made with the shooter in mind and to the best of my ability. It was never my intention to cheat anyone out of points.

So we're poking fun here and there. No harm no fowl...I thought the guys on this forum had thicker skin but apparently I am mistaken. Some take to jokes better than others...oh well.
We all have our days. Catch me on a bad day and I can be the biggest asshole you've met, that I can guarantee. So since I am having a relatively decent day let me set the record straight.

Ray, if I handled myself in a manner that offended you on a personal level, I apologize. That was never my intention. I respect the veterans of this sport equally as I know there is much for me to learn from you guys. I aspire to shoot at your level one day. Like I stated previously, no hard feelings.

Hats off to Rich C for mixing it up. I'm sure there are lessons to be learned from this match. Hopefully moving forward we as a club can apply what we've learned .

One spotter, 2 targets at the same distance, both visible in the spotter.

Everyone should chill, we're all friends here. Sam's call might have been a mistake or not, same goes with Henry and Ben's. I didn't see it so I'm not judging anything.

But the fact is that this was only a monthly match and we're all supposed to go out, have fun, learn something, and talk trash without being offended.

Ray, I know what you're going through on your personal life and it's very tough. I just went through it a year ago. I know you come out and you try to help others (myself included) the best that you can and I think we all appreciate that. Henry's comment was sarcastic (maybe out of line) but I don't think he meant it directly at you but just the situation as a whole. He is a good guy...
