Load the trailer/truck: 7:30 at the SUPR range.
Set up: 8:15 at the Sheriff’s Range.
Start shooting as soon as we’re ready (for sure by 9:30).
This match should be fast and fun. It has a couple of new items from our inventory. The target elves have been busy during our forced break from our home range. Stage 2, "Men in Black" has 4 steel hard cover targets instead of the regular paint. So, if you hit hard cover (and can hear – I can’t), you should hear a clank to let you know. Stage 4 has a 4 target plate rack. We now have 2 of these 4 plate racks. Their regular home will be on the steel range (when we get it back) unless we’re using 1 or both in a match.
Stage 1: Melody Line 2, 12 Rounds, Virginia
Stage 2: "Men In Black," 18 Rounds,
Stage 3: How Hard Can This Be?, 18 Rounds
Stage 4: 1,2,3 Bang, 18 Rounds
Stage 5: Classifier: CM99-22, Nuevo El Presidente, 12 Rounds, Virginia
Here is an interesting set of quick video tips that should help almost any shooter do a bit better next match. I’m not sure who the shooter is in the video.
Area 1 is complete. Jeff did very well – winning Limited A overall. Congrats! Ken N. had a good Saturday and weak Sunday just missing a 5th place in Limited B and a trophy. We all then had good luck driving home and getting signed on to the National’s Limited Match wait list, with numbers low enough to be confident we will get a spot on the match.
Area 1 results can be seen here.
Here are videos of Ken N. and Jim M. for your enjoyment. These are stages 1 – 6, 7-12 will be uploaded later.
St. George shooters Jim Meade, Bryan Mortensen, Gary Powell, Jeff Bailey, Ken Nelson & Brian Nelson are off to the USPSA Area 1 Championship tomorrow and Friday.
Bryan M. starts Friday. Jim, Gary, Jeff and Ken start Saturday. Brian N. nurses a damaged trigger finger and will just be bringing us cool drinks as well as following the super squad (hint – not us).
The weather looks good:
Here are the stages. They look pretty fun and will certainly be challenging. Or maybe weak hand to an A zone only with Virginia scoring will prove easy. I doubt it (-:
I’m told the prize table is rich, but alas we have to enter it based on performance.
I think my UPLULA loader:
went flying when the tables overturned in the big wind at Saturday’s match. If you found it, my right thumb would appreciate it back (-:

Update: FOUND! Yippee!
