Last two Multigun Matches of the year at ENGC...

<< < (4/6) > >>

Fly,

Coming from a 1st year rookie shooter, GO TO THE MATCH.

The guys there are great and they will guide you thru all the needed safety issues and will offer pointers on how to run the stages.

My feeling has been to expect to finish last, but so what. You are only competing with yourself.

Go to the match, be safe, do the best that you can, and figure out what you need on your Christmas Wish List.   ;D

My other concern is that I have not yet perfected my combat roll with a firearm.   ;D

Seriously though, thanks for all the info.  I will get to one of these eventually if not tomorrow's match. My other concern is that I have to go back to work on Monday and my last day off is usually a crazy hectic day running around doing all the things I forgot to do before I leave town for a week.  Today is out due to family obligations.  Apparently my family thinks I should participate in their lives...sheesh! Kidding of course.

Each stage is worth 100 points.  The match points you receive per stage will be based on how you do compared to the best score on that stage in your division.  (Ex:  You do the stage in 45.00 seconds, and the best time is 39.50 seconds.  That other guy gets 100 points, and you get 39.50/45.00 = 87.78 points.) 

All the match points from each of the four stages are added up, and whoever has the most match points (in your division) wins. 

There is one overall score for the match.  We do keep track of stage winners, but that is just for interpersonal commentary.  :) 


--- Quote ---Also, I appreciate the offers to use your shotguns, but I feel very odd about doing that.  It kind of feels like borrowing another guys underwear.  I would be nervous enough about embarrassing myself, let alone doing something stupid with someones equipment.  I do have a pump action shotgun, but it is a Ithaca 37T.  Good gun, but with a low capacity tube (5 shells?) and a full length barrel, it would be kind of unwieldy.

--- End quote ---

That shotgun would work fine---people have shot with much worse.  It isn't optimal, but it'll be just fine.

As long as you don't try to use our shotguns as hammers or tent spikes, I don't think you have to worry about it.  :)

Just come out and try it---once you do, you'll realize that you can just relax and have fun.  As long as you are safe, everything else is just about having a good time.

Yeah, it's not like you're going to hurt a shotgun by borrowing it.  Mine has enough dings and scratches that I wouldn't notice any more.  It wouldn't be the first time I've loaned a gun at a match and it won't be the last.  Your Ithaca would be fine, though.  I started with an 870 my first year, but this year I moved up to an autoloader.  With shotguns it's more about how fast you can reload, though.  Like any other kind of shooting the software is more important than the hardware.  I'm still working on that. ;D

OnTheFly:
I just read on the ENGC calendar that there is a Multi-gun match on Sunday December 18th.  Is that correct?  According to jthhapkido the last two matches were in November?
