Shot a falling steel match this weekend with my Open Glock.
Set up is 27 steel targets on 3 stages, two runs per stage. First run has a par time of 30 seconds, you shoot until you clear all targets or until 30 seconds has passed. Second run you shoot until you clear all targets. Mag capacity in all divisions is limited to 10 to force reloads. I had two good runs, one almost good run and three bad runs. Posting my better runs below.
First up is 27 targets cleared in 27.84 seconds.
Second is both runs on another stage. First run was 28.12, second was 30.04. I was on track for that second run to be my fastest of the day....until I slipped. I kept control of the gun and the muzzle down range, but losing my balance cost me time, and I missed several shots on the last section trying to make up for it. Instead, I managed to miss just enough shots to force another reload to clear the last target, adding even more time.
If you've never shot an action pistol match, you need to do it. It is a blast. If you don't have the gear, let me know and you can come shoot a match with me and I'll provide everything you need. If you're bored with shooting, this will cure it, I promise you.
