HARVARD MONTHLY USPSA/IPSC MATCH - SUNDAY - MAY 9

[Dan Hurley]

The forecast looks great for the usual fun-in-the-sun this Sunday. We plan the typical six stages.
Registration starts around 8:30. Shooters' Meeting at 9:15. First caps at 9:30. Fee is $20.00.

Remember to let the registration folks know if you're new to action shooting. Last month we had a huge group of new competitors and we squadded them all together with that famously congenial and soft-spoken mentor, Greg Newman. They all enjoyed the opportunity to get involved in Action Shooting while sharing the "new shooter experience" with each other. They even liked Greg.

Yes, we know it's Mother's Day, but the long-standing USPSA/IPSC tradition holds that Harvard shoots on the second Sunday of every month; and our beleaguered women have come to accept that we will honor them on Saturday with gifts, flowers, and the opportunity to do all the cooking. If you can bring forth all of your well-practiced charm and earn a breakout day, we hope to see you there.

Thanks,
- Dan

IPSC? Is there going to be a modified division?

Absolutely! A Division of one. Although in the interest of providing the complete interactive experience, we might score you with the Open fellas purely so that you have a basis for comparison. (how do keep from burning the tip off your weak hand thumb?)

Its a self correcting problem, each time I shoot, there is less and less of my thumb to burn.

I worked out my plan already... planted the Lilacs for the wife, reservations for dinner Sunday night... she gets to sleep late Sunday.

See you next month At the age my Mother and Mother in-law are, every Mother's Day is important.

No shooting next week either.

Fun match today - thanks Harvard crew - it must have been a real challenge getting those stages up with that rain yesterday and then with the wind blowing them away this morning. But except for stage 2, which we spent an hour and a half on and almost every shooter got to shoot twice or had a range mulfunction - the stages were great. Frank - you really did try!!!!!

Couldn't think of a better way to spend my mother's day. And I could have saved some gas money and rode in on my broom with that wind!

Thanks to the Harvard crew for the fun match today.

If i had shot all "A"s on stage 5, I could have take up to 18 seconds and still had a better hit factor [sad2]

Being the 1st loser sucks... deal with it.

Special thanks to Greg for putting up with me today in his group. He was a great coach for me being a first time shooter. It was a great time.

Great match Harvard. We even got out of there nice and early so I could keep the wifey happy. Thank you Greg and Don for working our squad.

 

[Lugnut]

Yeah thanks to all the SOs for all their work... setting up yesterday must have been some work too. Appreciate all your efforts.

Um, Dave, the term is Range Officer....not Safety Officer..... Wrong game.

No offense intended. Subliminally maybe it's my way of ribbing you guys...

Passive aggressive anger is the lowest form of anger, We'll have to work on that.... I'll have you at a Master anger level in no time

Thanks for the tremendous patience from all the shooters. Stage 2 would have been a blast if we could have gotten it running. (If you weren't there, it included 5 poppers, 2 out-and-backs, and 3 swingers; and we eventually had to yank it.) But when you add all that complication to the nasty wind gusts, it was just too much to overcome. ... maybe next month we'll have 7 stages to make up for losing one this month ... yeah ... .... that's the ticket ... hmmmm .... .... maybe a stage with a 70 yard plate-shot and a bunch of 60 yard headshots over no-shoots.

Why not make it weak hand too...

You could name it "Zero".

Are you trying to keep the folks (me) with no weak hand left at home?
I'm trying to get back out on the range and you guys are plotting against me.

"Zero ... yeah .... .... Zeeeerrroooooo ... .... .... that has a nice ring to it."
