Thanks Guys, I do have plenty of Bird shot if any body needs that.

GD and JP definitely set up some nice shotgun stages. I smoked the Texas star before it moved. IPDA is a different beast in its own right. All in all it was a good, time, beautiful day, and they let aroundLSU run it with a silencer.

It was a good match indeed... Good seeing all the BS shooters out there today! Aroundlsu whenever you get the chance can you send me the pics you took of me! Thanks in advance!!

It was good match, but it was a bad day for me I joined the club of DQ.s. I had a good run going of 3+ years. It happens to the best and I will learn from it

Welcome to the "Club" Joe

Anybody who missed this match, missed a full...and I do mean full...day of great shooting. Great day at the range. Kudos to Robert and Bill for a fine pistol match...outlaw IDPA is a nice change of pace. And a big round of applause to Joe and Tommy for the super scattergun fun...the "trail run" was a hoot! Someone has to take the initiative so we can play: sometimes we don't thank all these people enough for their efforts.

Appreciate all the tips on got on running my new Benelli effectively...suffice it to say I know what to work on...getting a shell in the chamber is definitely on the list . Since the Iberia Sheriff's range no longer allows steel...effectively nixing SG practice...I'm going to see which of my brother-in-laws wants to fire up his welding machine and built some clay holders out of rebar. Then off with 200 rounds of Remington #7 1/2 to find an empty field

Pictures!

I posted the pictures of me and two of the other BayouShooter members I knew. If I didn't post pictures of you let me know what you were wearing so I can look through them and see what I didn't post.

They are on my flickr here:

If you want to print any click "All Sizes" and then "Original" then take it to Wal Mart on a disc.

Some highlights:

Nice shooting with you. As an ex-medical/advertising/newspaper & magazine photog, I enjoyed how you shot one stage complete with camera around your neck...taking the IDPA ideal of "shoot how you carry" into a whole new level

I was on your squad during the pistol portion and was wearing a black Glock Shooting Sports cap and a black fleece vest: sorry I didn't introduce myself. My gray beard is yet another distinguishing feature

 

[aroundlsu]

I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures of you. I was trying not to take pictures of anyone I didn't know because I knew there were some undercover agents there and some people are funny about cameras. Just let me know next time.

Yeah, I was thinking about taking the Awerbuck class with the camera on so I wanted to see if it got in the way or knocked around. It wasn't so bad but I started to put it down more towards the end of the day. That huge lens gets heavy fast.

I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures of you.

All for the best...I probably have my tongue poking out of the corner of my mouth when I shoot anyway.

Sorry I had to miss the shotgun

 

[Narco]

So we gonna do rifle next time?

 

[spanky]

Oh Teddy... Louis would be disappointed.

Oh Teddy... Louis would be disappointed.

The last stage shooting the steel at 75yds was the problem. I def. need better sights on the Mossberg.

Don't feel bad...the center one ate my lunch, too, for the same reason. Had a front optic and mid-bead...the zero was the FO over the mid-bead...but that went out the window, literally, at that port, trying to keep the slug vs. birdshot management working.

Stopped by Bass Pro on the way home for a set of adjustable Hi-Viz that oughta solve that problem for next time.

...We're gonna have a next time, right guys? I'm already looking forward to Trail Run II.

So how much is this thing going to cost next time I go? I think they said something about having to join the club? What's the deal?

 

[FrankJr]

I had a blast, had to cut out early from the shotgun match but still enjoyed it. 4th in my first match, guess I can't complain too much. IDPA is where its at. Way more tactically minded shooting.
