This was the first time I've ever shot anything like this and I'm absolutely hooked!! It was a great night and John, his wife, and pretty much everyone there were very friendly and helpful to us noobs. I met a friend from work there and a former coworker. They went to Mondays shoot (they're 1st) and they convinced me to go last night. I'm glad they did. I also met Owen, great guy and gave me a few good tips. This type of shooting really shows you what your strengths and weaknesses really are. I forget some ot the titles but here's the scenarios:
(1) 4 targets- 2 plates and 2 balls - head-to-head, one-handed, 1st to hit all four wins
-Draw with strong hand shoot plate, switch to off hand shoot plate, change hands shoot 1st ball, switch again shoot ball
(2) Empty your pockets- While using an ATM, a misguided Yute (
) approaches you with a knife. Engage target firing 5 rounds @ 4 yards, time limit 3 seconds with penalty for shots after time limit.
(3) Not the real name but I'll call it "Battle Royale"- 6 targets (18 rounds w/ mag change @ shooters discretion)- Starting @ 15 yards engage target 1 (3 shots) while moving toward cover, from cover engage targets 2-6 randomly (2 shots each), move out from cover and engage targets 2-5 with one headshot each
Needless to say, I wasn't anywhere near the top of the pack. I was highly impressed with how great the other shooters were. I kinda got a quick rundown on scoring but I'm still a little shaky on that. I tried to concentrate mainly on the task at hand and not everyone watching me and I got a little better as the night went on. BIG thanks to the DSPC crew for making it an incredible experience. I will be back...right after I get a second job to support my new hobby.
I'll post up a few vids later.
@ Owen- was great to meet you and thanks again for the tips.
@Taurus- apologies but I didn't see your post until today. I was kinda rushing to get there on time for the shoot. The club is in New Castle on Moore's lane kinda behind Southgate Industrial Park.
