You might think from the preceding that we almost had<br />
a mutiny, but not so. There were lots of happy shooters, and<br />
lots of bullets being sent merrily downrange.<br />
Scoring on the run. Jake Kempton isn't halfway<br />
through Stage 12, and the RO is already scoring his hits.<br />
This time-saving measure kept the match from running<br />
VERY late.<br />
her rifle, and was DQ'd as a result. On stage 12, Bruce didn't<br />
trip, and shot the course so fast I wouldn't have believed<br />
it if I hadn't been sitting there trying to get the camera focused<br />
on him. He traveled the nearly 100 yards and fired<br />
40 rounds in 47.72 seconds! There were only 11 other<br />
shooters in the whole field who did it in the 50's, and everyone<br />
else was 60 seconds or longer.<br />
One stage I liked, even though I didn't do so well on it<br />
(yes, I did get around to shooting) was stage 3, "Lose if you<br />
miss one." It was a combo shotgun/handgun stage. Downrange<br />
of each end of the "car" were five poppers hiding five<br />
falling plates. You had to drop all the poppers with your<br />
shotgun, then draw and load your handgun and knock over<br />
the plates. Since you couldn't see all the steel from one location,<br />
you had to shuttle back to the start in order to get<br />
everything. Yee-ha! The noise, the smoke, the dust, the pile<br />
of empty shotgun hulls! I'm definitely going to be duplicating<br />
this one at one of our club 3-gun matches. However, the<br />
light and dust showed the difference equipment can make.<br />
Mike Voigt, shooting in Open, did it in 21.87 seconds. In<br />
Open there were 14 runs under 30 seconds. In Limited,<br />
Taran Butler did it in 25.23, but he was one of only two<br />
shooters who did it under 30. Since that range faced the setting<br />
sun, those who shot it late in the afternoon were at a decided<br />
disadvantage, compounded by the fact that none of<br />
the steel was painted any color but primer gray.<br />
A curious stage was No. 8, "Junkyard Clutter." The first<br />
shot was a low port, with the target angled so you were fir-<br />
