    You do know that this squad in particular takes issue with .22 lr. You best make sure your firearm cycles perfectly otherwise risk being cast aside to have squad 3 carry you from bay to bay.

    That mostly dates back to a couple of shooters who brought 10/22s lubed with molasses and sand or toothpaste or whatever was going on there. The couple of dudes who've shown up recently have been running sewing-machine-like 22s (and using them very accurately and fast, I might add). A recent squaddie also shot with what looked like a Beretta 92 in 22LR, which ran great. Things are looking up!

    Oh, and so far it looks like we won the weather lotto for the 7th, too, so no ice skates this time.

    You're right. I will stop at the temple of PopeYes and sacrifice a fried chicken to the weather gods this evening, just in case. Well, maybe just one piece of chicken. But it will be picked clean in the name of only the good kind of climate change.

    Looking forward to pew-clang-bang-clank with you guys on Sunday.

    Nicely designed strings for Steel Challenge today. They were a surprise and fun to shoot. Squad 5 ran smooth and quick. All great shooters but Sergei was insanely fast and accurate.

    Thanks to all involved who manage these matches...

    It was indeed a good match day - fun for all, and Squad 4 had the pleasure of hosting a father/daughter team that was great to watch. She handled 10/22 misadventures with a grace not seen in many a grown man I've watched. Go!

    It was an honor to shoot alongside Eva.
    This young lady (11yo) is the future of shooting sports. I feel comfortable saying everyone on Squad 4 was beyond impressed. Her shooting was impressive, but as Occam stated, her treatment of malfunctions was downright professional.

    Agreed. She was fun to watch and quite a good shot. Nice to see young shooters come out, be safe, and compete

    Well, this is what happens when I only bring the iPhone for a camera, and then only kind of pay attention to getting any video. Still, a couple minutes of flavor from Squad Four for those who wonder how these things go:

    Nice vid! Must have taped the phone to the top of your boot for some of those under the action shots. Do you mind if I share this to my FB group?

    Nice. Thank you. Love getting video of the young ones. And did you see the first guy checking the orientation of his bagged gun before pulling it out? Good stuff.

    The part at :16 was edited. It actually went like this...
    "Shooter Ready?"
    "Nope"
    "Shooter Ready?"
    "Nope"
    "Shooter Ready?"
    "Nope"
    "Shooter Ready?"
    "Nope"
    "Shooter Ready?"
    "Yup"

    Sure, that’s shareable. I wish it had more meat on its bones, but it is what it is. If it’s helpful or interesting, go!

    I go to a gym that has a lot of other vets there. Some of them actually have firearms training businesses but oddly haven't seemed to show interest in action shooting (yet). Your video actually has a good amount of meat, don't sell yourself short!

    I’m glad you saw that. I was thinking of titling the video “Bag Orientation Action Match” but not everyone gets my art, man.

    It is a reminder of all the little details that contribute to a good intro video when doing one for real. Keep a list!

    You sell yourself waaay short. Excellent vid.

    Another great match and better company, Squad 4 rocks the house, baby! :party29:
