WHAT: ACTS, http://actshooters.com
WHERE: Centerline of Calhoun, http://www.centerlineofcalhoun.org/ WHEN: April 9th, 2011, Shooter brief at 9:45 am, shooting by 10:00 COST: 20.00 dollars for ACTS members, 25.00 for Non-Members. Get ready to run!!! For the April match we be will testing your cardio and shooting on the move. You will suffer injured appendages(simulated), have your brain bucket bucketed and you'll get to save your children(or someone else's) from an active shooter. There will also be tests of memory and your manual dexterity. There will also be a stage with unique weapons. No downloaded mags, 150 rifle and 100 pistol. |
Had a great time, shot in the top 5 on stage 4. But dropped a hostage on stage 2 - (no one cleaned stage 2, but Garret was close) - simulated support arm injury shooting on the move with the carbine. Dropping the hostage and 1 missed head shot really hurt my overall score.
Battlefield pick-up (stage 3) was particularly difficult, I rolled the Saiga 12, but I have never handled one, and loading and seating the 12 ga. mag proved to be a challenge. Stage 1 I cleaned the bg's but was a little slow on getting the hits on the 5" steel, red targets, w/ green / brown background, and I'm color blind in red, orange, green, and brown. haha. The best part for me, aside from having fun with a bunch of great people, was finding new failure points, and adding new issues to train on. The experience of actually failing at new and different aspects of the sport, give me even more drive to learn. Thank you for putting on such a great match, I look forward to competing again. forrest0872 - |

Quoted:
SO does it count that i put 4 in the head on the move of the target  I tend to agree with you, unless specifically directed in the course of fire description. I thought that I heard a RSO say that head shots counted for COM shots @ stage 1. Your score would have been more incredablerr ( ) if not for this issue -

Some folks stress speed, some accuracy, the game is played by each according to his own choices.
That said, we need to emphasize use of cover more and we as a group need to read the course descriptions more closely. Steve, to directly answer the question on stage 2, the written COF said one to head, 2 to the body. I explained it wrong during the brief. Your choice of heads was tactically correct but not what the COF called for. I was trying for a failure drill result. There is a slippery slope between whether to shoot it correctly/tatically or as the COF requires. The failure was mine in the brief and in the course design. Besides you won anyway!! |
