You weren't the only one! (Wasn't your problem the fact that you were shooting a CZ, though? ;D )
I had great stage times----too bad my extremely poor accuracy today just about doubled my time on each stage. :/
Ron managed to design stages that pretty much perfectly required all the skills I'm weakest at, and allowed none of the match skills I'm best at.
[sigh]
But hey, as long as on the video I don't tell people what the HITS were like, it should make me look REALLY GOOD!
Ah well, tomorrow is USPSA, so I'll have to a chance to either make up for it, or, you know, keep the trend going. Hopefully it'll be the former. I'm thinking that perhaps "having trigger control" might make a difference.
Hey Ron, are the scores up yet? :P
SeanN:
Yeahhhh I needed to exercise a lot more trigger control myself. I had far too many shots on the perforation that barely counted... My excuse was I'm using a gun with a different trigger spring and sights than I'm used to (THAT TOTALLY WAS ALL OF THE PROBLEM, RIGHT?).
I think, overall, I did pretty okay. Wish I didn't get 5.5 seconds of time added on the match due to penalties though (down 1 on "free style" target, down 5 on the "strong hand only" target, down 5 on a missed headshot on the 2nd stage)...
I have a sneaking suspicion that Alex G. won the match, at least in SSP division... Although I didn't see Sean M. or Tom E. shoot before I left... They could also have pulled out some very nice scores too as Sean tends to be very accurate and Tom tends to be blazing fast.

Right, right, because using your actual carry gun should be an excuse for poor shooting.
:P

Humph. I had considerably more than that. And the non-threat target hit REALLY topped it all off.
Dang it, those hostages should know to DUCK by now!

Tom and Sean both had issues with the "all headshots" stage. From generally watching, I'm pretty sure that Alex took the match. For which we'll "congratulate" him tomorrow with a hammer, before the USPSA match.

Thanks for coming out guys. It is fun for us putting it on seeing the numbers increase each time. I learned a lot by watching many of you "gamers" (if you want to use that tacky word i.e. USPSA folks). :D Today I threw caution to the wind and shot purely for time. My problem was shooting a Gold Cup I just had rebuilt at C&S and not shooting it prior to the match (one of my pet peeves I see others do). Alas, I got what I kind of expected. I am pretty sure Lorimor owned me today in the 1911 side match even with his smoking, choking reloads. The after action conversation at lunch was interesting for me ...... putting all the nuts and bolts together if one wants to really be competitive. In conclusion, pretty sure Alex won it and jthapkido doesn't have a Rob Pincus poster secretly hanging in his closet.
