Some of us may get upstaged by a 14 year old girl. Dang she could shoot and safe gun handling to boot

Well now, that would be me.  :) 

Next time I don't think I'll use the old "load a partial mag" technique.  True, I do need to continue to work on my reloads, but not during a match.  :)  I'll leave that to the pros. 

And why I was trying to get mags out of my vest pocket rather than trying to access those nicely placed mags on my belt I'll never know.  Timer induced stupidity I guess. :)

But only 1 down for the two runs and no procedurals.  Much better than last time.  I'm seeing now that the premium supposedly placed on accuracy by IDPA isn't as much as I thought it was.  A guy can shoot a lot of -1's and still do well, as long as he or she still shoots fast.  (which I don't.) :)

Still fun.

It is true that while you were shooting people were making comments about who let the coal train into the shooting bay.... 

I suppose that might be overstating the case...

....maybe.  :)

Smoke is tactical.  Some rely on smoke grenades.  I use my reloads.*

*Don't try this at home.  Smoke may be hazardous to your health.  :)

Aldo:
Glad to hear that y'all had a good time and fun shoot. :)

Now the challenge is to come up with another Course of Fire (CoF) design as a follow-up to yesterday's...not really...we did 21 different indoor shoots in 2013, so I've got a library to work with...  ;)

...or I can just rely on the every day news of real life self-defense situations and ad lib off of those as I did this last time  :o

Hey, I shot a Glock, too!!!  8)

...and, yes, I am in the geezer/etc category, but lovin' every minute of it  :laugh:

I'll have ya know that the young gal and the woman y'all are referring to attended my IDPA Basics course the night before, so I was glad to see them both come out and take the CoF head on...and even the 12 yo young man!!  The woman in particular was very nervous initially during the range portion of the course, but she settled down with a real focus when it was show time at the match to just concentrate and take her time on knocking out those perps and not hitting the innocents!  :D

Again, thanks to y'all who came out and made it fun and enjoyable AND for helping out with set-up, pasting, brass pick up, and break down. The camaraderie amongst the 31 shooters was excellent to experience!

On the IDPA Nebraska FB site (https://www.facebook.com/idpanebraska), check out the Precision Response Training video of jthhapkido's first-place performance at yesterday's IDPA Indoor Match!....and, no, he did NOT pay me to place the video there  :) ...I saw his video posted elsewhere and asked his permission to post on the FB site as it was excellent to give a demo view of what it was all about!!

And kudos to bullit for his Safety Officer assistance in running the line!!

Next match: Saturday, February 1, registration starts at 7:15am, walkthrough/briefing at 7:45am, and match from 8:00am-11:00am.
