Looking forward to it!  Bringing a buddy for his first match of any kind.

Sweet!  I take it this is not a Glock only match like last year?  I'll be out of town for the first one but hopefully I can make the next.

No...from what I've read they accept about anything excluding rimfire.

Hmm...maybe I can get my wife to give it a try with her little 9x18.

Edit:

Just read the rules.  Looks like a max of 5 rounds per stage.  I can shoot my snubby in subcompact class!

Any idea if the results have been posted? If they have been, where are they posted?  I want to see if I was in last place or if I moved up to second from last.  ;D

Thanks HuskerXDM,

Meh...I placed in the mid thirties.  That's about where I though I would end up.  Good news (at least it makes me feel better to look at it this way...considering points scored, I was closer to the top than I was the bottom, if you throw out the low score.   ;D

I was there for that shooter.  I think it is safe to say he had very little experience shooting a handgun.  His son was there (my assumption) to help out so that helped.

I figured as much.  Because the low score was considerably below the second to last (no insult to the person intended), I thought it appropriate to not consider it when looking at my points and comparing to the high and low scores.
