Today at the Action Shooting Club<\/a> match, everything came together for me to win<\/a> Production class. Everything included a low turn out and the guy that usually beats me having a complete meltdown, but I did shoot very well so I’ll take it! We had six short stages which made it a lot of fun.<\/p>\n

Stage one was simply paper targets and some steel shot in between barrels. You have to slow down a little not to hit the white no-shoots. Was a good start.<\/p>\n

Stage two was very interesting, it featured turning targets on both sides of a barricade and you could score up to six hits on each. The drop turning targets disappear after they drop so misses are not counted against you, however you get the points for hitting them. Here is where you really need to play the game. Your score is your sum points divided by your time. I elected to not shoot the turner on the right and got six hits on the one on the left in about six and a half seconds.<\/p>\n

Stage three was the USPSA classifier. Three paper targets with black areas that don’t score and one steel target. You shoot each of the paper twice and the steel must drop to score.<\/p>\n

Stage Four was a simply a build out of stage two with more targets on both sides and targets shot through the ports in the middle. I aced this one getting good hits and in a farily good time.<\/p>\n

Stage Five is really what won it for me. The guy taking the video forgot to hit the button so the video starts while I’m already shooting. Four paper targets are behind steel cover and you need to shoot each three times. The mover has a white no-shoot next to it and must also be shot three times. This is where everyone fell apart and I managed to win this stage getting two on the moving target without hitting the no shoot.<\/p>\n

The last stage was pretty simple. Just paper targets but next to no-shoots so it slows you down a little. The last three are behind hard steel so you need to shoot in between them.<\/p>\n

Overall I shot really well and it put me in position to win. I think it’s probably been a year since winning production as there have been some very competitive shooters out there. It’s always fun regardless of where you finish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
