Since it does not appear there had been a thread already for tonight's match, figured I would open one up.

This is just to say thanks to the Todd, joshs, and the other folks that ran this - as always, a superb match and an excellent group of folks to study with.

For me, it had been some time since I had the chance to participate due to travel requirements, and it was nice to come back to what was essentially a series of cold tests. The stages were a good mix of the "must anticipate" high probability of encounter, to the foundational drill of the Triple Nickel, and a nice wild card thrown in.

As to the wild card, I have to say that a Red Cell / direct action stage is good to see. I have long been an advocate of establishing a baseline dataset for comparison in building out the par times (and concurrent pre-assault emphasis) for the less well tested defense scenarios; and giving folks a chance to consider the other perspective as a thought exercise on how they would prepare to respond is also worth the experience. Of course, for the gamers these stages also let them mull over the hard problems faced by more specialized skills roles than the traditional personal defense situation, but kinda-sorta allows room for this too I should think.

Also, this match marked the first time I had seen an RDS in the match. I would like to hear tell the impressions of the match from that shooter, if they would be willing to offer them.

Well done, Fred.

Thanks again to the crew. I had fun tonight; not bad for a match I wasn't really planning on shooting :)

Thanks for a great match everyone. Really enjoyed shooting on the move, missed that type of stage. Stage layout was great. Doing triple nickel twice was great, and the VIP target was a definite reminder of a low-probability target! Look forward to next time

Thanks to everyone for running another fun match. I enjoyed the opportunity to try my hand at Triple Nickel twice. The 'super-stage' was well done, with some nice touches that made it distinct from the component stages. I look forward to the next one.

(duplicate from my blog post)

Here are the stages from last night’s KSTG Match at the NRA Range. These are videos of me on my second run through the match as I forgot to video my first. My combined score on the second attempt was almost four seconds faster.

First two stages were the Triple Nickel, except obviously hits that count for Triple Nickel ordinarily could still be points down in KSTG so it paid to get all your hits inside the 8″ A-zone. This run was 5.07, and my other was 5.72.

Stage three was at very close range from an obstructed position. As you can see at the beginning of the video, you’re literally inches away from non-threat targets. The closest threat was about five feet away and the other was maybe all of seven feet away. Time here is 2.01 clean.


http://youtu.be/IswlC1-4lus

Stage four had you engage a difficult headshot only target inside an “armored limousine” then shoot the driver and two wide open threats. As you can see (and hear from the laughter of the ROs), I was a little too wide open on the last two targets and wasted what was otherwise a very fast run. Score here was 4.20 clean, at least.

(continued)

Stage five was our equivalent of a “field course” running the width of the range. You engage the same two targets from Stage 3, except now the range is about 8yd and those non-threats from before obscure the targets. Then two of the five Triple Nickel targets (the ones with blue legs) need two on each while moving. Finally, all four of the targets from Stage 4 need two each including the head shot inside the limousine with a non-threat in front of it. Time here was 12.67 clean (first run was much slower at 15.98 clean).

Thanks as always to all the ROs and the whole KSTG gang.

Nice shooting Todd

Remember, that was my second run through all the stages. Except for #4 with all those misses, I shot everything faster that second time. But thanks!

First, thanks to Todd and everyone for putting the match together.

This was my second time running the RMR in a competition (first was Polite Society this year). It was quite humbling. I blew a depressing number of points, at least some because the optic shoots a LOT different at 3 feet than it does at 7 yards. Flipside is that the hardened target was VERY easy to shoot with the RMR. Anyway, I still had a fun time. I need to remember to try to make more of these events.


Also, it looks like I need to spend a LOT more time with some targets and my red dot gun to truly understand how it shoots.
