Western States Single Stack and Revolver Championship; Day 1
Western States Single Stack and Revolver Championship; Day 1
The good, the bad, and the ugly. The good: I chrono'd at 132 The bad: A couple of "failure to engage" and ensuing mikes The ugly: The last time it rained this ****ing hard, some guy named Noah built an ark. To quote Jackie Stewart, "t'was a pissin rain" |

Great stages.
I literally went back to the casino/hotel and got in the shower fully dressed to hose the mud off of me. I've been duck hunting at Wister and not gotten this wet and muddy. |

We were waiting at stage 11, the standards stage, and it started raining harder and getting really windy. That's when they called it. We were scheduled to shoot it and finish on stage 1. One of the locals told me that #1 is the worst mess when they do get rain. Should be better tomorrow with a later then hoped for finish. When I drove away you could see some blue sky but as I headed north it was still cloudy.
Stages were fun but the mud just clumped to your shoes. One stage originally had you going prone to shoot through a barrel but they added a port above the barrel because of the forcast. Our squads first shots tomorrow will be 6 shots on the 50 yard string. |

The better ones were today with no rain. Schmidt's Standards sucked.
5.7 par time for each 50 yards freestyle, 25 yards three shots reload, three shots. 15 yards strong hand, 10 yards weak hand. On the 25 yard string, it's three shots, reload, three shots in 5.7 seconds, except my revo reload takes 5.8 seconds |

I was your CRO on stage 2. Did you shoot stage 2 on Sat or Sun?

Stage 2 was my first stage on Saturday. We shot 2,3,4,5,6, and half of 7 in the piss pouring rain on Saturday, then 8,9,10,11, and 1 today.
It was a great tournament, under not so great conditions. I stayed across the street at the casino and enjoyed it. If they hold it there next year, I'll be back. |

Doesn't seem to help your shooting...but it gives you something to cry over.

Yes, revolver. I started shooting USPSA in the late 80s, but quit in the mid 90s. Back then it was all series 70 1911s.

Wow! Drove home and got in at 2am to northern ca. We started on 11 Sunday morning and finished on 5 after shooting 1 and 2 in the heavy mud. Stumbled on 2 going to the last position but stayed upright.
I got to shoot on the squad with Austin, John Mclain, Alan Webster, 17 year old Jalise Williams, Maggie Reese Voight and other very good shooters. Nils Jonasson was supposed to shoot but turned his ankle recently and held off. It was great seeing so many great shooters compete for two days. I finished 66 overall, 2nd super senior. The highlight for me, by far, was shooting an 84, fifth best, on the standards stage. My previous best was 71 or 72 while usually shooting in the 60's range. Got 5 shots and hits off on the 25 yard reload stage with one miss on the stronghand string. In the par time stage they don't count as a miss, you just don't get any points. Only 1 miss on the other stages putting 1 in the hard cover. Had a great time even with the rain and mud. First time to that range. |
