Sorry about the wait Dave. Things are busy here out East.
Here are some pics of the filth from the swamp. The last two are Dave on the woods stage. Notice that weak-side cover technique! The last pic shows how the targets are relatively hidden out in the brush. At least friendlies were orange.
Here's the 100 yd. stage. You start in a car and blast a slug on an IPSC target using the car for cover (see the bumper in the 1st pic). Then run to a wall and engage poppers from the wall. Next is a run to low cover to shoot IPSC's at about 60 yds. Next is the mover. You can see it in the middle pic, but my lazy photographer (Dave) neglected to post a pic of it in motion (down the ramp). The last pic is where you engage the mover.
Next is squeezing (for some of us) through a drain tube and engaging plates from the other side. Next is a run to right-side cover to engage more plates. This picture shows the mover after it has come to rest. After that is a run to a popper which engages two swingers, which are the orange plates. You can see the fallen popper between them.
Free gunsmithing??? Is there any other kind with you!!!
The invoice for field-expedient cleaning of a 20ga Remington 870 is in the mail. I'll also include a small bottle of blue loctite for properly installing a foerward sling clamp.
I don't have any pictures of the swamp course. It was pretty close-quarters in the reeds and having two camera-men would have been too big of a shooting-train. I think the RSO was very cool about having the video camera follow and I didn't want to push it. The other stages were more out in the open and it was easier to safely follow the shooter with a few cameras.
I really and truly appreciate this thread and the pictures!
Thank you ever so much!
meh92, about them pictures that were not taken- Well you know how them fellers that run short shotguns are...*snicker* Hard to find good help these days...
Oh I am "seeing" more than the pictures are showing, yes indeed!
Oh and the picture of Dave's son - priceless!
Contrast that one with the one often posted with "Don't worry sir, I am from teh Intrawebz caption.
Dave's son's picture should have : One cannot buy skill and targets under it.
This is great!
Okay, post more pictures and Course of Fire.
Heck, I would like to run this thing with a single shot shotgun.
I won't win, but I would have a lot of fun!
Okay, maybe the coolest thing I've ever seen. I've got to try that sometime.
And Dave, I'll bet you could beat my time by a bit, especially now with the bionic hip. I'd blame my time on using the SXS. That's my story, I'm sticking with it.
The staff at the Swamp Match said that 20ga Buck hits harder than low recoil 12ga Buck, so I don't think there is any thing a 12ga can do that the 20ga can't. His gun is a slick little blaster, it handles real nice.
20ga does have a big downside in that there is no cheap 20ga Buck available (S&B, Rio, Wolf, Noble, etc) like there is for 12. Cheapest I have seen is $21/25rds.
My guess is they want you hauling tail to cover. I wanted to reload on the move but was yelled at for it.
Another thing we didn't like was they didn't allow you to carry slugs on your body. They staged your slugs at stations where there was slug shooting, and when it was time to slug up, you voided your tube of buck and did so, and when it was time to buck up, you voided your tube of slugs and did so.
We are pretty sure this is to avoid people shooting steel up close with slugs, and that is understandable from a safety/steel target longevity issue, but it sucks if you are using this match as tactical training.
