Interesting, nice work. I have to say stages seem WAAAY overcomplicated to me, but I haven't shot any matches in years. Looks like you have it pretty nailed down, good job. How did you place?
-
oops, posted the wrong video...
Updated the original post with the right one :)
-
Thats some thing you only get to do in video games! very nice sir!
-
LOL Looks like fun, but I wouldn't want to have been one of the hosities.
-
nicely done..
-
OK, that looks like some weird fun, but I would have to say, the sport has certainly drifted away from "practical" a LONG ways... ;D ;) I can't remember the last time I had to shoot while wearing a Swiss Seat and sliding down a Slide For Life....I suppose it could happen...
Does look interesting. :D
-
Watching that all I could think of was a pinata with a gun. ;D Looks like it'd be fun, but I'd have to thak waaay to many loaded mags to be practical
-
I have to say, that's one of the more idiotic stages I've seen in a gun game. They're really reaching waaaaaay beyond "practical" these days to attract the techno crowd that expects to be excited and visually stimulated twentyfour/seven.
I mean no offense to anyone and if such recreation is your thing there are far worse ways to spend your time, but really?

I think you hit the nail on the head, Road Dawg. Look at it as a game, not any kind of a training exercise, (unless you work for the Queen, have a license to kill, and have an old guy named Q give you all kinds of nifty gadets), and then it is just plain fun. I am slightly concerned over the safety aspects, but overall, if it's just a way to have fun, looks like quite the ride.

Armoredman: I absolutely agree with you. It's just fun. It bears very little resemblance to application. If they ever come up with a course of fire where some over zeolous fan/nut job is all over you like a Gorilla on 'roids or there's heavy metal heading at you then that will be different. AAMOF, the company I "still" (sigh) work for has a policy that certain employees are absolutely forbidden to compete in IPSC, IDPA, etc. while employed. When I retire (sigh), perhaps in Sept. ( I know Armoredman, I know) I may take up IPSC.
-
You guys are one hundred percent right of course. I just remember the days when an attempt was made to give these games some kind of real world relevance. It's just kind of depressing to see how far they've strayed from their original intent. However, i don't look down my nose at anyone choosing to participate, even if it isn't my thing. Even IDPA is staring to get some rather questionable antics thrown in. Still, regarding the video: where else are you going to get a chance to say you've done that? ;D
-
"Company"policy says no competitions? Odd, that.
Lots of competition in the Phoenix area....never get up there to shoot any, though.
-
The ban on competition had to do with a bad experience that occurred with a individual (young guy-cowboy) on a "state" assignment. During debriefing he mentioned "that's the way I train for (insert letters here) competition. You can deduce the rest.

Oops, yes, I see the point. :)
-
State has gotten......different..since 1/2009. Hmmmmm? This happened with the transition from President Reagan to Bill. It got better under President George W. Bush. I see a trend. Make the connection with retirement??
-
Just retire and relax...I have 11.5 years to go.
-
Armoredman: We looked at houses near Bisbee, Sunizona, & Apache. Looks like I need to keep my Surgeon in 338 Lapua Mag. If I do move to any of those. I need to find the shoulder rig for my M-11. There may be more than a few wires around the yard...tread softly. Besides, the money and opportunities with BHO is far better than GWB. We are being contracted more now than ever when GWB was in office. Funny, huh?

Be thou careful. :)
