Sorry that you didn't feel it challenged you Easy. We'll strive to do better next time. As for criticism, I welcome it all.
Considering that cardboard targets are static targets as well.... Yet I understand your train of thought and we'll take it into account in future COF designs. Clays are new to us, and yes we did use them heavily on a single stage (the only stage in fact). The issue is that we currently have few, if any, sorts of moving targets at Galt. No Swingers, no running man, no drop-twists, etc... We are looking at getting more however (We have a trio of can launchers now). You also won't need to worry about the static cans anymore The last of them were shot to hell and beyond in the match.
As for realistic scenarios and real life encounters, unless you are in the military or on some SWAT like group odds of being done up in Tac Gear, with multiple AR mags, a few dozen shotgun rounds dispersed amongs your tactical harness, is pretty slim. Hence why we actually have multigun events, cause it's sometimes fun to dress up in a harness.
I do agree about the solve it mentality, and I do it moreso with handgun only matches. I don't really know why I do it less so in the multigun, but again stuff to take into consideration. As for what the squaddies comment on when they are not the active shooter, tell them to STFU and stop defeating the fun aspect of the game (Not knowing what is upcoming).
At Galt we have ALWAYS used every hit on a no Shoot with the current crew (so the last several years), you just never noticed because you only hit them once.
As for the gate. No Idea. I came in @ 7:15am and had to use a code and was under the impression it was automatic on Sundays (Public Shotgun day). Nor do I know how to lock it open, otherwise I would have.
I won't lie, I made up the CoF literally a week before the posting went up, I went for a simple setup knowing that our manpower would be less than desired. That the final match design was less than satisfactory to you, I take full responsibility as it was my design. As I said however, I'll take all your comments and critiques and hopefully be able to use them towards the next and future matches.
