Damn, I really should have shot this one.
I have been wanting to try the appleseed stages...

[johnlee]

I'm pissed I didn't get Rifleman.

Mike, thanks for the fun match. You even got the weather to cooperate.

Mike, thanks for the fun match. You even got the weather to cooperate.

The first prone killed you, you got like 20 something points. You were only 10 points away, you are capable of shooting rifleman any day of the week. Just not last sunday

[johnlee]

My POS Anschutz had a failure to eject and so that last target on the rapid prone was a big fat zero.

Still, shoulda, woulda, coulda. I didn't get it. That's bullshit. I'm pissed.

[264Charlie]

Cool match guys. Look forward to shooting it.

I had a squib on round one and didn't make the last target either, argh!

[autoessentials]

Well it was definitely a fun match. Thanks to Mike for putting it together, and to everybody else who came, pitched in, and shot. I can't believe that we didn't have a better turnout! It was serious fun! I really enjoyed the appleseed stages, the rabbit, and the moving barricades. I learned this match the important it is to remain focused, even if there are serious distractions.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

I love this piece of shit:

[Gnzrme]

Nice guys... Mike I like your form on the rabbit stage....

[AR15barrels]

Nice guys... Mike I like your form on the rabbit stage....

5 seconds is really generous.
In reality, you have like 2-3 seconds from when you spot one until they spot you and dissappear...

Thanks to everyone for putting on and shooting in another fun match. I also appreciate the growing match hat phenomenon, which I will miss when club matches move back to the main rifle line at Angeles. For those of you that weren't there you missed Rich getting stung by a bee on his trigger finger during a stage, flicking the bee away, removing the stinger and finishing the stage. There really should bee an award for that, possibly a yellow and black or purple dog tag?

The fellow on the left made me do a double take. Could be my twin.
