So... How did everyone do today? I couldn't make it this year but I'm dying to hear how everyone did that shot today. Any videos to share?

 

[wmass]

Im signed up for tomorrow AM but can’t make it. Anyone that didn’t make reg. and would like my spot let me know.

 

[TSL001]

In the same boat sadly. Registered for Sat AM and will not be able to attend. Send me a message if you want to go.

 

[wmccurdy53]

I shot this morning (Sat) and I did okay for me, even on the evil stages with the tiny plates.
I did especially well after my rear sight broke.

 

[kmanick]

man there were some seriously fast shooters out there this morning

 

[shootymacshootface]

The poppers kicked my ass today, go figure.

Holy crap, lots of shooters for that main Summer event huh?! Awesome.

Someone asked me what the distance was to the steel. My guess was 35 feet. Anyone know for sure?

Pretty sure it's less than 25 yards.
I was going to try to upload a video of me shooting a stage at the Mini Walls last spring but I can't figure out how to attach it here. I'm so 1997. :/

[kimmie1911]

I know that every time I go, the steel looks closer than I remembered. Smaller, but closer, lol. Definitely closer that 25 yards. Nice shooting!

 

[45collector]

When I got home from that match I noticed a nice fresh crack in the slide of that old Colt 9mm 1911 I always used for steel stuff. I was crushed. Love that gun. I still use it as a backup but I'm not as good with my brand new Colt 9mm competition as I am with that old Colt. I'm still trying to figure out exactly why that is.

Wow, that's terrible! Those guns usually last forever. That's exactly what I've been using for years for steel, an old Colt 9mm 1911. I love it and I'd be devastated if something happened to it.
