2026 EOT, which stage was fun

[wyliefoxEsquire]

Regarding CAS, for me as a shooter it was stage 11.  Pistol & rifle knock downs that allowed a reload or shotgun for make-up, had "color" or "texture", it was NOT vanilla.  I used heavy ammo in case the hit was low.  I carried my shotgun as a backup.  I did consider reloading both guns.  The rifle would have been faster except I needed to pick up the shotgun anyway.   

As at PM it was not FUN at all.  It caused an MDQ.  That is NOT fun.  The shooter displayed the "cowboy spirit" and accepted the outcome.

 

I will make another post on the WB forum.

What was the DQ for ?

I did NOT get carted out of Coozie’s on a stretcher so that was incredibly fun for me. 🤠

I thought all the stages were fun, our posse started on stage 11. The knockdowns you had to hit above center or more than likely they weren’t going down , we had a few shooters hit them low and they made them up with shotgun. As someone who is a Match Director I was concerned about this stage being a problem for some folks,

Stage 11 was probably the most enjoyable for me.

 

A nice stage that was a bit technical with the transitions on and off the shotgun and end focus on the knockdowns.

 

Didn't need it but toted it to the pistols like a security blanket.....

 

Many people were concerned about the knockdowns with .32s.

 

Kat and I use 100 gr @800 fps .32  loads as a standard load match load.  Had no issues with a center mass or above hit.

Stage 11. Took the shotgun with. Last pistol , I rushed the shot and automatically reached for the shotgun. Maybe 1-2 seconds total extra, but it was worth it.

Same load.  KDs were no problem.

Shooting Bull's twin brother Philly Slim has history with Coosie's.

My wife's .32 H&R mag loads easily tipped the knockdown targets on #11.  They were 115 grain bullets over Triple Seven especially loaded for knockdowns.

My 32 swl's loaded with a 78g bullet took the kd's down with no problem.

PS I did miss one of the static targets tho.

Being a dirty Outlaw for the last 16 years did not help on stage 11.

Someday I'll figure out where my Rugers are actually hitting compared to point of aim (could be helpful).

However when it came to this stage I loaded up my open top with 157 grain bullets and let rip.

It hits exactly where I aim it, no questions.

Sadly I had a happy trigger finger on the rifle that made me miss the last target so make up with the shotgun.

I liked the knockdowns...😃😃

I think world championship should have a variety of stages .

I used to be scared of swinger targets.. then i decided I can hit them . Now there fun. 

Even at 30 feet with pistoleros

Stage 11.  My worst stage of the match because I tried to get cute with it, but by far, the most interesting stage!
