Steel Plate Videos at MRA Feb 8 2009

[Underwhere]

It's late and I need to do some work and then go to work in the AM.

I'm posting what I have so far. More to come.
If you find that I posted you and you don't want to be online, PM me and I'll remove the videos.

I don't know everyone's name / screen name so if you can help identify people I'll change the titles etc.
I labeled unknown-to-me people as "nobody"

[GTOShootr]

so good to see PMD slowing down and calling his shots, exercising visual patience

 

[MFP4073]

Long day but it was awesome to see so many shooters show up. I think we had 43 or so!

Thanks for posting the vids. We were real close but missed out on the money.

Thanks for posting the vids - reinforces what not to do.

Yup - I went back to my old bad habits - but I'm over that now
It was a tough day..

Dave...

You make revolvers almost cool.

 

[Underwhere]

I think I have about 10 or so videos left to process tonight.

More of Dave, More of PMD, MassMan, some other peoples as well.

I am still blowing gray lead dust out of my nose a full day later. Probably not the healthiest environment to be in for 6 hours.

 

[Hanwei]

More videos! More videos!

What was the distance to the plate racks and what size were the plates?

When I shot, it was 25 yards and the small plates were 2.5" diameter.

He's still my hero !!!

We were shooting from ~30-35 feet? 6" plates?

25 yds? Hmmm the pics looked more like 25 feet. 25 yds and 2.5" plates would be a bitch!

He forgot the winky face after typing that. He was compensating for his performance

Someone must have moved the table back when it was my turn.

I promise you I was shooting at 25 yards.

 

[Underwhere]

I suffered a Kaboom but I kept on shooting. It blew my sights off to the right and high.

I guess I'm slow.

 

[Cuz]

Great videos, thanks for posting. I never get tired of this stuff...

Hanwei,
I thought MRA had 8 inch plates on their racks. They just look smaller when you're shooting at them.

-Cuz.

 

[Fooped]

Holy crap that looks fun! How do I get involved in next month's shoot? Do I have to be a MRA member, or can I get "sponsored" by one of you guys? I am so in for the next one if I can be. Can someone PM me with the particulars?

Thanks very much!

PM'ed.

Just show up about 12:30 to help set up.
Bring something to shoot with, 4 or 5 mags, 100-150 rounds, eyes and ears. Oh, and $5.00.
We had a lot of new shooters this month of all different ability levels. You don't have to be fast, just safe.

Hanwei,

-Cuz.

I was just guessing... You're probably right about the plates being 8in.

Yeah... it's weird how they suddenly become 2.5" plates when you start shooting.

I'll "sponsor" you... as long as you are not a steel shark comming to take all our money!

Seriously - just show up for the safety meeting and shoot the match with us you will have a great time and meet a few cool people in the process.
