It was a beautiful day and the stages were a lot of fun. I definitely need some practice if I&#8217;m going to ever be competitive in Production class. I ended up <a href=\"http:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/tasc2_12__11.tif\">third<\/a> again behind the usual suspects.<\/p>\n<p>Stage one is &#8216;Mixed Nuts&#8217; which is paper and steel targets on each side of a barricade. The start is with an unloaded gun. I took my time on this one and managed to get all the steel targets with my first shot. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UIOJCKMc8M4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Stage Two is &#8216;Bendit Len&#8217; which is designed I imagine with one of our lefties in mind. Most stage designs favor right handers so this one has us all contorting to shoot around the left hand side of barricades. Also starting with an unloaded gun. I stumbled a little on the start of this one and then rushed the finish which gave me a couple misses.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/87N8mpZH1-I\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Stage Three is nice maze of mostly close shots that ends with a series of paper and steel. No-shoot and hard cover targets on this stage force you to slow down a little a little to make your shots and avoid penalties. I shot this one clean although a little too slow.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dFuzfSD-hCY\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Stage Four: &#8216;It&#8217;s Not Brain Surgery&#8217; is the classifier. A new one we&#8217;ve not shot before. Start with loaded gun on a table and then engage three targets two shots each all head shots. I missed once on the last target even making up a shot. It had so much tape on it I thought I saw two holes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rbbqRVdAK1o\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Competed at The Action Shooting Club Saturday.
