well, it sure has need intresting few days, ive seen son fine shooting, not much of it myown, but i had a few moments.
strange thing i keep seeing it people planing to shoot one way and on the 1st round change everything? whats up with that, is it the sun?
most Funny way seeing Mbomer run out of ammo on the stange with the platform and tunnles when he tryed to shoot 64rds on a 32rdstage :)
the look of "sh** i,m out of ammo"
But i must say the "unnamed" shooter that used a spyderco knife to rip out his mag when it was jamed then finish the stage was very cool!!
well back to put my sprained foot i,m a bucket of ice.

No, Quigley is right, it now says no tools allowed.... Don't have it with me, so I can't quote it but if you can't rack/pull/pry it open/free/etc with your hands, that's that...
 
While shooting an open match at Peterboro...(I.P.S.C.) When I launched at
the ``beep" ...I noticed that my runners slipped on the concrete. Keeping that
in mind...I went for a slide when approaching the next shooting position. To my
surprise/horror, my runners didn't slide as anticipated...but, grabbed instead.
Almost catapulting me through the open doorway...and over the 2x4 that was the foul line...(my wife...who was cradling our new-born an watching from the other side of a picture window in the lounge,heard the guy beside her say..``that's it for him then..." She said,``It ain't over yet".)I managed to flip my hands up in time to grab the walls on either side of the doorway and push myself backward to keep from going over the foul line. In the same movement..my hands went down for the draw and I continued on with the match...I ended up 14th out of 48 shooters.

The funniest thing I had happen was when I was R/Oing on Range 6 ( ok ok stop your booing).

On stage 5 the short course where you had to go prone and shoot through the "mouse holes" I had one competitor drop prone and shoot very well with his open gun.

When he was finished I instucted him to "stand up" so I could reload him for stage 6.

He sort of shimmied around for a bit.........then said.

"I cannot get up".

I was afraid he had injured himself so I had him release his grip on his gun so I could clear it and set it aside safely.....

Next I got down and asked...." where are you hurt, should I call for help". He said.
"No its not that....I am STUCK!!!""

It turns out that his speed holster fit perfectly between the floor boards of the deck and had wedged itself under the deck boards!!!

LOL!!

After a few seconds of fumbling we were able to free him and he went on to finish stages 6 and 7 without incident.

That reminds me.......when building decks. Watch the spacing!!!!

LOL!!

NO, there should be no capacity restrictions. That should reduce the number of items that can caught in things.
 
My worst moment (out of more than a few :redface: ) was on stage 7 when I wound up with an unextracted round in the chamber, the top round in the mag halfway out of the mag butting against the unextracted round, so the mag wouldn't drop out. Spent at least 1 minute if not two trying to get the top round to go backwards into the mag so I could drop it (like Quigley says, no tools allowed) probably to everybody's entertainment. Eventually cleared the jam and finished the stage, & even as planned managed to drop ALL the left hand steel without activating or hitting the swinger until it was over. but I'm sure I had the longest time for that ( or any) stage.

Time for an Aftec (Aetec?) extractor.
 
I had my extractor go on my first stage..

I had replaced all my pins and springs prior to the match to try and eliminate any problems......

I had a spare firing pin....

NO EXTRACTOR!!

Of course it was a 32 round field course!! The one with the scaffolding....

On the bright side...it also lead to one of my favorite match memories

As luck would have it....the scorer was a well known competitor and 1911 smith.

He told me what my problem was and in a few minutes I was back in the game with a newly tuned extractor. I also picked up a spare extractor from Freedom Ventures to add to my spares kit.....

It was just great to have other people concerned with my firearms well being to ensure that I had a good match. That is why I love this game!
 
+1....accept my gun locked open on the turret stage. No way could I get it to close ..the same score keeper cleared it for me, and with the help of Sean and Dan ...got it running for the last three stages. Thanks guys. Jeff
 
"I also picked up a spare extractor from Freedom Ventures to add to my spares kit....."

Glad it worked out. And I will be happy to fit the new one for you as a back-up next time I see you. It's always a good idea to have a pre-fitted spare.
 
That would be great! If you make it to EESA for Drama Daze my gun will certainly be available for your ministrations!!


Now to delve further into my last shot mystery problem before next years nationals and I will be a contender!!
 
Okay, here is the Mudmen story.

M-bomber, RR and I decide to bar hopp in downtown K-town. We're wallking down the street laughing our asses off about something and we hear bag pipe music. Sooooooo.... like the kids in the Pied Pier of Hamlin, we're mesmerized by this and wander over to the Speckled Hen.:confused:

We see these to GREAT BIG, muscular wild looking bastards playing traditional bag pipe music. They both had these black t-shirts that read "MUDMEN DRINK AND FIGHT". They were wearing kilts and honest-to-God black motocross boots on. The one guy had a bald head and black goatee and the other had a long blond goatee wild and blonde hair like the crazy guy in Braveheart. Oh, and he had blue eys, one blew east, one blew west, he couldn't focus them both in one spot! AND, they played the pipes really well. :eek:

So RR asks if they'll take a request and they tell him to come inside... so we do.

They play a couple of tradiotional songs and then this band starts taking up positons behind them and we figure "Oh great, we just got screwed into hearing some goofy local ####e".:rolleyes:

The singer pops out between the two monsters, grabs the mike and the band, the pipers and the singer start wailing out heavy metal.... GOOD Heavy metal, not crap!

During the set, the blonde guy start bopping his head back and forth with his hair flying all over. When he stopped, his eyes were still going in two independent circles!:eek:

So, they finish the set and we think through the drunken haze that M-bomber and I had going (RR doesn't drink)..."Hey we gotta get one those shirts."

RR, stops the bald guy and asks about the shirts so he leads us over to this packing crate and digs out shirts and CD's. The CD's were from three different tours and the deal was one for $12, two for $20 or three for $30. RR says he was about to say to us "Hey, why don't we get one each and burn them for each other" but he says he stopped short out of fear of getting us pummelled by this monster.

While this is going on the wild blond guy is down a couple of stairs and a couple of steps away and, in a gravelly, raspy voice he says "RUH RUH RUH RUHRUH RUH RUH ruh!" and he laughs "ARRRRHARRRHARRRHARRR!!!!!". And the bald guy says "Right on, bro!"

What we think he said was " Lets knock these three f***ers out and eat the little one!" :eek:

We left shortly after that and returned to our mundane, giggle-filled, beer-fueled, bar-hopping lives.

Oh, I bought three of their CD's and listened to them on the drive home... they were worth it. The music is awesome!
 
was score keeping for the "un-named competitor" with the knife. he disproved the saying about taking a knife to a gun fight. applauded his persistence and felt bad about the penalty.
Those that know me will find this amusing. flying back, went to Montreal airport, when asked about reason for guns, said coming from competition. "oh" says the security dude, " were you up here for the outgames" ;)
