Fun match in WI. Mud and snow made it interesting.

Did you have to walk long distances in the mud and slop?

Not to far. It was frozen in the morning.

Laying prone in it was interesting.

Snow just made finding targets tough.

Fun match and cool venue

I have a buddy who'd like to shoot the Decorah match in skills - if anyone has a line on someone that might be looking to get out of their slot please let me know.

Try keeping an eye on the Facebook group.That'll be where it pops up more than likely.

Fun time at the Millville, Ca one day. The boys from Bend shot well. Fun was had by all.
Arbuckle next.

That tree stage was fun!

Had a great time at the Cactus Classic this weekend. I shot skills and got my butt kicked on some stages, but cleaned one and almost cleaned two others. Great people; really well run, interesting setups, great facility. I learned a ton. I hadn’t shot farther than 659 yards before, and got some great experience and hits out to 940. The RO’s were very helpful. Got a good look at how other people run their gear and thinking about where I’ll make improvements.

I was there as well. Clayton and co put on an excellent match!

Going back a page or two, there is always... ALWAYS a stage or two that end up with a 1-1.5 hr back log. It sucks. I think it's mainly on match design, but also the RO's can cut down a ton of time too.

I usually see the big back logs when there is a cream puff stage that people are cleaning in 2ish minutes, followed by a doozie that most are timing out on. MD's need to have varying difficulty level stages, and some are going to be terrain dependent, and sometimes it's not possible to just exactly which ones will be easy or hard. But I do think it's something that bears more consideration.

The RO part is one that I try to share with people when I'm ROing. Usually running about 80-100 shooters through stages. If you spend an average of 90 seconds after the clock talking to shooters, showing them targets, BSing, etc. you've just added 2 hours to the day. They need to require the MDs to have 2 RO's at each stage and stress getting the finished people out of the way so the next shooter/team can at least get moving.
