Another great Tac Rifle day at TMSA this past Sunday... wondering who else was there (besides BCShooterGuy who only beat my by 15 points this time... when I finally learn to slam mags into the Tavor, you're in trouble! ;) )
I was the guy with the Tavor and Vortex scope wearing the brown CGN hat with the mini camera mounted on it.

More things I learned from last competition:
1) upgrading to electronic ears and better eyewear were worth EVERY penny.
2) Mini cam makes wicked video, but must learn to aim it a bit higher and buy a 2nd one to mount on rifle.
3) putting my bottles of water under my car instead of inside my car to keep cool was a good idea. Freezing them the night before would be even better.
4) sunblock and hat for the win.
5) Takes too long to switch between 4x and 1x magnification on a scope during competition. Thinking about getting a fixed 4x and something like a Docter on top. Shot on 4x 3/4 stages and 1x on 1 stage.
6) To shoot moving targets, aim where it's going to be, activate, start shooting, let it cross the path of fire.
7) If you aren't sure if you've shot a target already, F--ING SHOOT IT AGAIN! Otherwise you lose to BCShooterGuy again.
8) Never really needed more than 30 rounds in one match, except when I lost one mag because it bounced out of a pouch while running. (LAR mag inside a stuffed TacTailor standard mag pouch) Want to try the HSGI Taco pouches next.

That's about it for now.

We'll try to incorporate more movers and try to utilize the "vehicle".

I lost points because I thought I hit the target and those damn steel plates killed me.
 
Don't forget the bug spray and hand wipes either!

Just thought I'd mention to try the following with your optic before you spend more cash on something else: set the magnification before a stage, not during a stage. If longer range, such as with the steels on the 100 yd, use 4x. If it is primarily a CQB stage, use 1x. If the stage is a bit of a mix, I have found 2.5x to be a good general setting.

This avoids the whole adjusting under time pressure thing.

Good advice. My mistake was setting the magnification too high for the mid range targets and then getting a target too close. I just eyeballed it and ripped it Chuck Norris style, worked well enough.
 
Viper 1-4x. Next time I may try the Burrs 332 and a mini red dot (I've got a big box of optics that I'd like to try out - just giving myself an excuse :) )
 
I thought the moving target stands were great and added an extra challenge.

I'll have to work on slamming the mag in my Tavor.

Are the results for tac rifle posted anywhere online?

I'd appreciate it if somebody could give me the link to the plans for the pop up target stand.

Thanks in advance!
