3-Gun @ Old BridgeDecember 28th

Recommended Posts

 

I was really psyched for this. When are you likely to do a 3-gun again?

 

 

Sure, Jim/Dave will make the final call, but last year we had the same issue, only worse, we had to cancel matches in Dec, Jan, and Feb, and we just moved the 3gun match to the first match we had. I'm going to heavily lobby them to make the next OB match a 3gun match.

 

We are aiming for doing more 3gun anyway. We used to do one match a year we are now aiming for 2-3 matches a year.

I spent yesterday afternoon in the fields pheasant hunting with my son.  While I was very eager to shoot this match (lots of preparation involved) If I'm to be honest I didn't mind sleeping a little late this morning and enjoying a leisurely breakfast.  I wore my pedometer and clocked 2.25 miles in the field.  For anyone who's done it, it's hard work...kinda like high stepping through the undergrowth and crap.  Muscles = sore.

Mike, how did you and Andrew make out? 

 

Start another thread if you don't want to hijack this one -- although this one is probably just about finished

Didn't flush anything, but did see one on the road in the woods.  I think it was taunting us. lol

 

We've been out 4 times this season.

 

The first time I flushed and shot one bird but we couldn't find it.

 

Second time we flushed 3 birds; 2 at once and then Andrew flushed one in another field.

 

I shot the trail bird in my double as the lead bird wasn't a good shot, and Andrew missed the bird he flushed.  Funny story with that one.  He was shooting my fathers old Sabala Spanish Side by and forgot that the he had to switch triggers for the second barrel to fire.  He was making fun at himself for being a spaz "Why no boom?"

 

The last two trips we haven't flushed anything but have seen birds on the road and stuff.  

 

It's been an enjoyable albeit physically demanding endeavor.  Come home with sore muscles and legs and hands cutup from pricker bushed.  We need better pants or chaps.

Looking forward towards more 3gun at OB. I know there are several other clubs in the area that hold multi-gun matches, but OB is always nicer.

Also for those that want to shoot USPSA, there is another club in PA that holds matches on the 4th Sunday as well if you are NOT into 3gun or 2gun.

Even if the match was held I would not been able to attend. Leg still healing from an encounter with a MGM plate rack. I lost that round.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
