What a match this weekend at Marion County Fish & Game - I had a fantastic time as usual. I was fortunate to have a couple of friends there to snag pictures during the match, so I can post a decent match report.
As usual, the match was divided into 5 stages, each stage is shot three times and your scored added up. Here are some of the match pictures that I ended up with. The picture to left is shooting the last string on stage 4. The first string had to be shot from the right of the barrier, the second string through the port, and the third and final string had to be shot from the left side of the barricade. For right handed shooters, the lean around to get the far right side target was a little extreme, but still a lot of fun.
The next stage (stage five) was interesting - in the background from the topmost picture, you can sort of see stage 5. The green numbers on the plates indicate the order they need to be shot in. From left to right, it went 1-2-5-3-4. It didn't seem that hard, but I hesitated more than once on that middle plate, which cost me at least half a second each time. This is me shooting the third string on that stage, and it's one of my favorite "gun photos", the kind where there's brass in the air.
The final match results are posted at MCF&G's website, I'm really pleased with my performance. I got 7th overall counting rimfire and carbines, and 4th out of all centerfire pistol divisions. I'm also pleased because I found a place that sells non-ported barrels for the Glock 24, which means I can run it in Limited division instead of Open. Of course, what really made the match great wasn't the shooting, the guns, or the camaraderie...it was my new "secret weapon", the prayer dance..
Like I said, we had a great time shooting the match - I hope to see even more shooters out there next month.
