I'd be interested in knowing these details. I'd go to the range and duplicate the stage just to compare my time. here ya go http://www.spencerhoglund.com/files/StandardWRStageSweeps6.2008.pdf Link to post Share on other sites

He’s shot the same one for over 9 years now. Here is his new that he hasn’t used yet. It has a crocodile inlay. Send this one to me, it may slow him down. Link to post Share on other sites

Doc And that’s the reason Dylan wanted to shoot this stage to see how he would stack up to the way things used to be. Dylan was around pretty early on and remembers as well as appreciates how the targets and scenarios used to be. He was pretty young back then so he wasn’t as competitive because of his age, experience and size at the time. He’s always had much respect for how it used to be. He never wanted to be a one trick pony and just be able to big and close. In fact he doesn’t really like shooting stages like that these days. He enjoys the challenge of further stages with more movement as well as ones you have to use your head on. He really hates a stand and deliver big and close speed stage like the one I posted above. Often on practice days he will shoot the rifle targets with his pistols just for fun. Lol Link to post Share on other sites

Colt Faro, SASS #54579 279 Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 Here is a pretty cool compilation video from the California State Match. 12 stages and 12 stage wins. Perfect match. He shoots this entire 12 stage match in under 4 minutes. It takes longer to watch than it took him to shoot! Lol Link to post Share on other sites

We once practiced shooting empty 38 cases off the top of the pistol targets - at 10 yards. My eyes ain't what they used to be! Sounds like he'd enjoy our 5th weekend matches. We often have props, pistol targets at the end of the bay, lots of movement, and even some up close and personal. A great big mix of stuff. Sometimes there will even be Steel Challenge stages. If you're ever in the Sacramento area, make sure to let me know. Link to post Share on other sites

Zolas 4 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Colt, thanks for sharing the videos and the rigs. That full match video is sick, so smooth and so fast. I did not see any videos of his 2019 EOT match, either here or on Facebook. Is there any video of this years EOTwin? Thanks, Robert Link to post Share on other sites
Go West 377 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Wow, that is awesome, Matt. Congratulations on EOT, too. Colt, I was as impressed with how polite and helpful Matt was years ago. Character is a quality that is in short supply today. You have done a wonderful job in raising him. BTW, your leather craft is museum quality. Link to post Share on other sites
Red River Rudy, SASS #8490 LIFE 53 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Congrats to Matt on EOT! That is an amazing stage to beat Spencer! Keep up the great work! Should be a sub 10 second stage coming up! (would not surprise me) LOL Link to post Share on other sites
Dusty Devil Dale 564 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 That young man CAN shoot!!! Smooth as silk. That's a record likely to stand for a while. Sincere Congrats to Matt on his accomplishment(s) and to you for raising him up. ---And you shouldn't need to deal with unfriendliness here. All of us will enjoy watching the video multiple times.
