June 20, 2020 PBR Match AAR
We had 7 shooters including myself, and this is the first time we've been on the upper range. This match was on the Third Saturday, which is where our match will be held going forward.
Thanks for the help moving some of our stuff up to the new range. I plan to install some shelving and benches before moving everything.
We had a couple new shooters, who represented well. Following NRL rules, newbies get coached through the stages, while the pros do not get any help or feedback at all. One shooter, Brandon, had his rounds loaded too long to mag feed, and shot the whole match single loading. Took 5th, and made excellent shots, very few misses as I recall. George took 3rd,
I beat William by tiebreak. You would think it is because I wrote the COF, but I can look at a COF I wrote, and have no memory of writing it. The stages both present and past all blend together and rarely anymore does a single stage stand out. A few months ago, I took a bunch of COF's from my own, and various NRL and PRS matches, and collected and categorized the stages. So now I think of them by categories first, then details a distant second. As follows:
Prone stages
Barricade stages
Move fast stages (usually single load, or more than 3 positions)
Movers and Spinners
Holdovers
KYL, TYL and similar
Find the target on the clock
and so on.
Anyway, enough babbling, here is the COF.
