Great match indeed! Karl designed really nice stages and EESA crew did a great job at the match. With electronic scoring it was really nice to hear results right after the match!

The key is to screw up just a little less than everyone else
A skill I have clearly yet to master based on my placing
In all seriousness though, a great inaugural championship match with fun, challenging stages. Congrats Karl on a fabulous match!

And nice to see that I didn't come in last, even after being bumped to open from standard manual. lolol
Protip to everyone, check how much your extended tube holds before the match. When I first installed my tube it was only able to hold 8, now somehow a 9th round can fit in there. It was suggested that maybe my spring has gotten more wear and is accepting more rounds.

Haha! You need to learn how to count as well just like me! I got bumped into Open as well.
Oh, and I need to learn how to aim as well.
Seeing that I got slotted to open as well, I can chime in here. On loaded starts, and for most of the shotgun matches I've shot, I've always loaded from my belt at the MR phase. I load up 9 into the tube, then chamber one (for 8+1) as standard manual division allows for up to 9 shells on loaded starts, then proceed to top up my caddies with the RO that is holding my box of shells. It's a routine
On one stage, we pre-loaded ourselves (safely), then at the MR phase I for some reason chambered 1 round then topped up my tube. Doh! I didn't realize I was at 9+1 at the MR phase. I shot the stage then was advised was now in Open.
The match was damned fun nonetheless!
Thanks. I need to work on getting a firmer grip pulling them off the belt, sometimes I end up with a 1x3 stack in my hand instead of a 2x2.
Re the slug stage: I did load from the belt. But when I topped up at the shooting box, for some reason something inside my head said "Try and put two in, so that you make sure that the tube is full" I just assumed that I must have dropped one at the loading table and didn't notice. Which I thought was also weird. The thought that the capacity of my tube changed could have changed never even crossed my mind.
Anyway, had a great time nonetheless!! Can't wait for the next one.
Sidebar: I was running a 24" barrel, I noticed some of you run the 18.5" barrel on your Benelli's with the ghost sights. Is there a big difference in patterning? For example, I know that at 25 yards with a 7.5shot I get about a 12" pattern on target with a modified choke. Is that consistent with what you guys shoot?
