Well this being my first USPSA Nationals, I must say, I'm very impressed. Stages are challenging offering a multitude of ways of shooting them even the short courses of fire. There is one short course of fire that has 2 pepper poppers and 3 classic targets which are hidden. Either of the pepper poppers will activate the 3 targets that are laying flat... they shoot up present for what has to be 4-5 tenths of a second and then continue forward and disappear except for the last 1 which remains upright.

If you shot the Ontario Provinacial and thought that swinger was fast you should see all of the drop turners and double drop turners and clamshells... They travel at warp speed....

Tons of hidden Targets that are easily forgotten about as I did twice !@##$@!!!

R.O Staff is greaT and friendly C.R.O's are knowledgeable and professional and most of all; all competitors are required to set steel and patch targets that help the day and wait go by faster.

I have video of myself and other canucks shooting.... if anyone is interested... quality will be low res so file size is small... can't\won't post any video of anyone other than myself without permission so you'll have to enjoy my !@#$ up's while looking at the stage layout...

Haven't heard how Mike B is doing but I hear Alex was doing very well yesterday.... Wade is doing well also and I of course am tanking each stage but let me tell you it's fun.
 
Only want Video's of Madness and Filthy1 if they have their clothes ON. Filthy1 get any stages tossed yet?
 
Believe it or not Enshooter, I had absolutely no "issues" with any stage of the match. Totally top notch match. Stages were awsome... the best.

Weather at PASA park was glorious... 70 to 80 degrees not a drop of rain, nice breeze and not a cloud in the sky.

Only cluster f*ck was prize table distribution... they have to figure out a better way to do it... 300 plus people in a hallway waiting for their name/number to be called is crazy.

I shot like poop. Serves me right though. I switched back to the Para 3 days before the match and only put about 50 rounds through it this year. Should have stayed with the glock.

Notice that Dave S. won the US Limited Nationals shooting a Glock. Beat out Chris T., TGO, and TJ. Amazing!

Well I just came back and as usual it was a great but tough match.

They had all kinds of movers (clam shells, swingers, drop turners, flip up and over) and they were set in such a way that you had choices on how you were going to shoot things but if you chose wrong boy did you pay in either time or misses.

Stage 12 had this disappearing drop turner that was in an awkward position so most people figured out it wasn't worth shooting and just left it. That was the only target in the whole match that could be called “bad design” in the entire match. There were a few targets where you could get your self into breaking “the 180” (90) but you would really have to earn it. There were no stages with blatant 90 traps.

A lot of the poppers had a hard cover popper or other forms of real hard cover in front of them. After talking to several of the Canadian’s the steel was one of the problems “or the lack of hitting it” with the first shot.

To give you an idea on how tough the match was I finished 24th with 2 misses and 2 no penalty misses for the entire match. If I had not lost those points I would have finished 19th!

Of course if I could have shot faster, hit the steel on the first shot, and not sucked at 4 of the stages ………
