There was quite a few shooters out today checking there zero at the range. Looks like there will be a good turn out for the Tiger Valley team match. We got a little intel today. We will be shooting a total of 8 stages tomorrow and one big stage on Sunday. Stay tune for more updates.

Oh boy i can hardly wait Pete the meat. Get the info posted!!

Today was a long day. We did 3 run and gun stages and another long range stage. Talk about doing dynamic shooting, some of the run and gun require teams to engage targets with pistol, carbine and precision rifle. A good match so far.

Sounds like fun so far, would like to see more pics petey.

Wil
Bro I,m so sorry i let you down at last minute, i was already to go truck loaded with gear etc
Then it hit me wife said she could see color draining from my face said i just turned very pale
I knew what was coming had her call mark n get your contact info i couldnt think straight enuff to locate it.
Dizzy/pounding headache and blackout
Spent Sat in bed taking meds, standing just made it worst.
I,m very upset i let you down in this manner, guess its time to convert to F class n BR style shooting.
Mind was willing but body cant follow thru, i hope you had a great time and shot well, who was i kidding sounds like i would of been a hindrance to your performance alot of run n gun.....we know i cant do that.
Sorry for fucking this up for you, hope we can still shoot together in non tactical arena, understand if ya dont want to.
Whoever shot with Wil thnx for covering for my limp dik ass, hope you guys rocked.

Karl(Jedi) if I did'nt have that last Diabetic education class Saturday I would have been there for you, Wil knows your situation, he understands, thats why he's your friend.

just got in... had a freaking blast with everyone!

1) Thanks TJ, fun as always. You should have seen the work he put into building the shoot houses. It was impressive.

2) Brett, Ben, Bruce and all other ROs did a great job of keeping things moving and on track.

3) Thanks to the sponsors! Had a great prize table with lots of cool toys. I got a killer Eagle drag bag I am real happy with.

who ever it was that thought of the low crawling stage.... not so much... joking..... sort of

Lesson leaned - do not run South African ball .308 in a 10T for cheap stuff to blast close range. Especially after JV and Nomag put their pox on it. Dirty shit gummed me up so bad the buffer spring couldn't push the bolt carrier into battery... lost a butt load of points because of it.. kept reaching for the forward assist and their ain't one..lol

I'm ready to do it again yall!

.....thanks Lilly for sending the sunscreen.....we all needed it.


Brett will need a new thermal face guard....seems the flat recoil Tubb spring put about a dozen empties in his grill.....sorry bout that.

the ROs are doing a great job....thanks for keeping us all safe

TJ....your wife was a horse.....she gets a big thanks from all of us also.


great list of fine sponsors......thanks for your support....


i need to get off the couch more often.....thanks Terry and i got your stuff

Man, what a great match!! Had lots of fun and met some new shooters to hang out with. Tenting out back was a lot of fun to hang out with everyone and not have to worry about driving anywhere. Will do it again next time!! Dang spin drift made me miss at 1000, though!

Chad

"Shake N' Bake"!!!!!!

Jedi...

Bro... no worries man.. I understand ... You didn't let me down at all. Things out of your control gave you no alternative.

I know you wanted to be there. We all missed ya!

There were some tough stages man... I'm sore as shit today. Took some meds last night & iced down the knee...

Stiff as a board this morning...

All & all a good time. You were always there in spirit... rooting me on... Go team AndiCapp GO!! LMAO!

That tunnel stage kicked my ass!

Thanks to Louque for stepping up and rockin' it sexy with me.

Heck yeah, partner!

How about some results fools!!!!

PS Lilly is always good for some lotion!!

TJ and the R.O.’s. thanks for putting this on, the event was great as was lunch. Also the sponsors did a hellava job on their gear. Clint and I had a great time. It was a great event for me, a real leaning experience. Hope to see everyone next time. The camping was great and all of the bull shitting. Georges was alot of fun friday night.
Joe

No Problemo Boltripper. Mi Jitney es su Jitney!

And my thanks to CKA for schelping through the darkened night to secure and care for my scared and lonley geovids that were seperated from me through a comedy of errors.

A good time was had by all!

+100000 on everything (capt i got hit in the balls) AKA CKA said and just for the record NOmag was unable to make this match so his twin brother took his place (aka nobrain, nodope, noskill, noholster, and the list could go on) but NOmag fucked up so bad that he can not admit he was there.

NOmag's twin/alter ego had a great time and got to spend some time with old friends and meet many new ones!!!!!!

Airone got a great video of NOmags twin/alter egos ass that will be posted in the next couple of days .

NOmags alter ego also witnessed BOLTRIPPER (aka HEAD BRASS WHORE) collecting brass in flip flops with his tone nails painted PINK!!!) Nothing better then a full on brass whore with pink toes!!! sorry bolt but I had to rat you out again!


All in all had a great time and meet a lot of people and if we could keep chadtrg42 from snoring we could have slept much better. The sound of a dying caribou is nothing to his snoring!!

Thanks to everyone at Tiger valley and cant wait to do it again!!!


AND YES YOU HAVE TO SHOOT FROM INSIDE THE FUCKING HOOLA HOOP!!!! IF the RO says IT FUCKING DO IT AND DONT ASK THE SAME FUCKING QUESTION 15 FUCKING TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!


PS if the ro says dont move with a mag in your gun take the damn thing out before you put a live round in the chamber and start running!!!



NOmags alter ego is now done ranting!!!

Congrats to everyone that was there




Later,
NOmag

SORRY,

I forgot to add that NOmags alter ego forgot to thank his sherpa for holding the umbrella over him while shooting. It's really hard to shoot these matches without a sherpa to carry your stuff for you and shooting in the sun is tough!!!!



Thanks for reading
NOmags alter ego ICANTSPINMYSCOPEKNOBCAUSEIMADUMMASS!

Later
NOmag

No problem, I wasn't gonna let you miss out, but my body is killing me from running the bolt gun for 2 teams.

Finally made it home and about to pass out.

Get some sleep dude.....

that drive had to have been killer...

Good times guys! Congrats to the winners and many thanks to our hosts and sponsors.

I didn't get to witness it, but I heard from several sources that we had pukers on the cooper tunnel stage. Anyone get that on camera?

Thanks to my partner, Shadow4. It's always good to shoot with you bro! We'll learn from our mistakes and move on.

Good match with plenty of side-line comedy.



WTF? LMAO...

LOL well someone had to ask!!!



NOmag

Imagine that Bolt worried about picking brass up all match instead of shooting come on bro WTF where are your priorities.

Pukers wtf is going on you sick bastards!!!

Good shooting cant wait to see the COF AAR and some pics.

You are some lucky bastards!!

Yea, but you Wet Humped him....



Good shooting with everyone, We had a great time.

TJ and his whole crew did an awesome job and had lots of great stages.

It was really great meeting everyone and see lots of good friends.

AIRONE

The Blackwell's had a great time as well, alot of good shooters and good guys out there this weekend. TJ and crew did a great job as always, the stages were good also, except for the cooper tunnel...that was unnecessary and my knees hate the person that thought of that. Congrats to the top guys. I'm already looking foward to the next one.
Sheldon

Dude! What happens at TV stays at TV! Sheesh...

Chad, I think it caused about 75% of the shooters to miss.



What is this "Shake and Bake" it makes no sense!

GREAT match. TJ and crew out did them self again. I will post most more later. I got in late last night and I am work right now. Stay tune.

Congratulations Tim and John! You guys shot well. Good show.

To TJ and the entire crew, thanks for a really excellent match.

To Roy, Chris, Pete and all the others that helped point me in the right directions and shared Gatoraid, thank you very much for taking the time.

Lee, turn the CAPS off dude.

Scott, thanks for standing in for Jim when he couldn't make it. Good shooting and I really enjoyed teaming with you.

Sorry I couldn't stay for the meal and awards. My phone was ringing while I was busy shooting a zero on the last stage at 1000 with news about a nice busted water line back at my place. 6 hours after leaving you guys, I was in a 4ft hole fixing a water line with my son. Would have much rather stayed for the meal and awards so I could clap for Tim and John on a full stomach.

Good to see and meet a lot of new shooters.

Best to all,
Terry

This was a great time! I think I was saying " Sorry Pete I cant see shit" when that picture of me looking through the spotting scope was taken. I cant thank you enough for asking me to team up with you.


Terry.
Thanks for donating the tactical knob. I will be sending in the bolt off my 7005R very soon!

John

Terry, I thought you were calling in air support when I saw you on the line talking on your phone. That sucks about the busted pipe. No way to end a nice weekend.

Had a blast shooting with all of ya'll and meeting some new guys as well. Terry, it was great to finally meet you and sorry to here about the pipe and all the crap your going through getting back up and running after the storms. I'm working on getting more pictures up right now and will post them shortly. The match was alot o fun, and despite shooting the last stage with the wrong dope dialed in (dooouuup!) ended up coming in 5th. One note about Tim and John, All I can say damn you guys were on it! No one really even came that close to you two. Great job! Now I'll get back to the pics.

So! You're the one that was showering me with dirt off the safety berm while i was in the pits!

Our headless target

Ha, ya that was me. Sorry bout that!

Not a problem.
My personal observation is that under stress of time constraints, some people forget the basics and just took the shots.
The stages were fast and furious which makes it hard to remember to do everything you do during practice. Example, Wind reading went right out the window, more then a few people had the wrong dope dialed in, didn't take into account change in temp from when they did their 7am 100 yard zero at 65f, then proceeded to shoot 1K yards at 95F.
Look at some of the other shooters comments about the 1K shoot. The knew exactly what they did wrong "AFTER" shooting. There were a lot of clean "Un hit" targets from that stage by shooters that I know are top notch shooters.

This goes to show that firing under stress is a whole different world then shooting from a bench or 20 minute prone stage to take 20 shots.

All that said, my hat's off to all that shot this match. It was not an easy match to shoot by any means.

LOL!! It's from the movie Talladega Nights. If you watch it, you'll understand.

Pete the Meat doesnt get out much or watch much TV!!

Of course I know what it means. It was a joke. Don't you remember when John Jerod ask what that meant. That is also my favorite movie.

Now to get back on topic. A BIG thanks to TJ and crew for putting on this match. They out did themself again. Also a BIG THANK YOU to the sponsors. They had a good prize table and everyone left with something.

It was pleasure hanging out and shooting with a lot of the Hide members this weekend. I will name a few, but I am sure I will miss some.

Terry (thanks for dinner) Cross, BoltRipper, ToddAC (nice group on the tank)Guy, Chad, Texas Rick, Savage 10X and of course Captian (you can't leave him behind) KickAss.



SuperBee 950, it was a pleasure. You did well. Now all we have to do is get a comp for your AR and work I little with the rifle.

Congras, to the winners. More later. I will post more photos. I am still at work.

There you go!

This was not my first match, but it was my first rifle match. Sure is a lot different than all the pistol matches I've shot over the years and it was an eye opener for sure! Not to puff you guys up too much, but it seemed to me that the average skill level across the board was much better than most handgun contests.

TJ and crew put on a hell of a match and it was neat to meet and shoot with you guys!

don't be a stranger.....there is plenty to learn....and most become better hunters and wind dopers and distance guessers ......
