Several quick updates:

Shot the Georgia State Championships. Finished 17th in Production. Very happy with results. With the classifier stage, I should get classified as a "C" with next months update.

Shot the South Atlanta Practical Shooters Club match on this week, finished 3rd in Production. Shot the classifier ok, will solidify my "c" rating. Also shot the classifier in Limited, so only 1 more classifier need to get a rating in that division as well.

Finally got a range bag. I went with the large bag from Midway, and could not be happier. It was on sale, so it was even better.

updates

Spent a couple of hours updating my website today. It now shows all results up to today. It is interesting to see my progression over the last several months... It also shows how much I need to keep working.

Area 6 Multigun Championship

Wow! That is the only word I can use to describe the match.

The stages were designed by Larry Turner... and they were simply awesome!! Cindy and Bill organized the best matches..

I shot the match on Friday, and R.O.'d the match Saturday and Sunday.

Friday: I shot well. There were shots out to 200 yards, and I was pleased with my performance on the rifle, especially since I was using iron sights. I had 1 issue where I didn't factor in hold-over, but otherwise it was good. For the close up stages, I need to remember to remove the screw-in aperture. It helps with the long shots, but is really hard to quickly acquire close targets.
My shotgun experience was mixed. Other than slow loading on my part, it ran the bird shot well. However, it hated the full power slugs. The action cycled fatser than the shells could load, causing jam after jam. The person I bought it from was also shooting the match and said all he ever used was reduced recoil slugs, so, lesson learned...
My pistol saved my match...

Saturday and Sunday were a complete learning experience. Watching some of the best competitors go through the stages was a real eye opener...

I finished 6th in Limited, and I think in the 50's overall.. Not bad! I even made a trip up to the prize table.

After the range was cleaned up, the R.O.'s got to visit a seperate prize table as well. All told, I walked away with over $135 in certificates, as well as a whole bunch of goodies... Overall, an excellent weekend.

Things to work on:
loading the shotgun quickly
finding the right slugs to cycle my shotgun
need to pattern the slugs and birdshot with different choke patterns
zero rifle to 400 yards for Fort Benning 3gun
check zero on rifle when small aperture is taken out of my iron sights
