Shot targets out of order, you know something simple until your brain stops working.
I blame the laser lights.![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")
I hate those lights.
It reminds me of the 60s
Yes, I'm that old
9mm?
I think so, I wasn't paying a heck of a lot of attention to it. It didn't have much felt recoil and it shot to point of aim. IIRC, I was down zero on that stage.
Sounds like you did okay Jared, for your first Indoor national event
The "pick up" Shield was indeed the 9mm version.
We'll see.
Ugh, they scratched stage 6. I actually did pretty darn well on that stage, IIRC. Stage 11 was the one where the SO went out for a cigarette, came back, and I still wasn't finished. Ugh. I really need to practice with a flashlight.
When I look at the scores from major matches like this, I always see some score/classifications that make me wonder. A marksman with a score of 270? Seriously?

Yup. Big time, methinks.
Yes 9mm.
Any Idea of the round count?
I'm loading mags now, but don't want to carry too much extra ammo.
Talking to a few guys at the hotel, they said it was a long day.
I think it was around 200.
thanks
Bring 300 total and you should be good to go.
This was basically me last year. I shot it as SSP MM, and would have got 2nd SSP SS if I shot the damn classifier well. I tend to really f-up my classifiers in IDPA and USPSA. It gets in my head and then I suck.

Agreed. The first shot, it sort of jumped out of my hand, but then it was OK.
During the stage briefing, I bitched to Bubba " can we handle it, dry fire it a few times, because some people have this gun, others don't". He said "nope!"
I think this would be a great pistol for my wife..
So you were the one that said this!! Bubba was using this as one of the sample questions/complaints he received during his stage briefing.
I was able to pick one up yesterday (after being on the wait list at my LGS for two months). My wife said it felt good in her hands. Now I'm concerned she might appropriate it for herself.
Yes! Hell, I heard him making fun of me when I was waiting to shoot the next stage!!! hahah!
New updated scores
IDPA FEB 21,2013 Match
I can't believe I am at top of SSP MM after Friday
I know lots of good shooters still to go today.
Keep my fingers crossed
ETA: ended up Second SSP/MM for the match

Good shooting.
I wish I didn't have a good classifier this year. I should still be a marksman.
Looks like I need to practice
Congrats Nick winning SSP EX to make MA!!! Kudos also Rob (2nd ESP EX), Ken (3rd CDP EX) and Matt (4th CDP EX)!! Great show on behalf of the Granite State

Enjoyable match. Took a couple of chances that cost me points down but it was worth trying. As for the pickup gun stage with the M&P shield, let's just say I will not be trading my Glock 26 for one any time soon..... Great people in this years squad and fun to shoot with.

I think Rob also gets the bump to Master. Great job everyone!
Thanks guys! I think this was the most difficult match I've shot so far. Even though I blew two stages (3 - down 5, down 5, HNT on those close head shots, 4 - hit the slide release too early during reload, resulting in a jam), consistency and accuracy still was key for the rest of the match.
