March USPSA match

The March match is complete and a rousing success. The two time slot format seemed to work out well, and because of it we were able to accommodate a record number of shooters including over a dozen who had never shot a USPSA match before. The weather was great, the stages challenging, and I believe everyone had a great time. A hearty thank you to all who shot, and to the York staff who ran this one, especially the staff in registration and stats who really went above and beyond the call of duty this time.

Here's a picture of Lucito ROing Jayson on "Razor" which was undoubtedly the toughest stage. Many shooters simply didn't have enough ammo in their mags to take on the 22, no 23 pieces of steel.
Sean M. who we're going to miss greatly when he moves back to Colorado next month, designer of "Razor" and this stage "Switchback" ROing Jonathan M. who was our best newbie this month, and actually finished quite respectably. Watch out for this guy in future matches.

Gary S. (yes, the one who runs the fun shoots, and also works his tail off for the USPSA matches) is ROing Louis on the standards. Louis won Open and was our high overall shooter. Note the youth movement at the top of the results. It makes me feel old.

By now you should have received the preliminary results in an email. If you haven't and want to be on that list, which is also our match announcement list email me at hkbrt@verizon.net

Looking back at some old 2008 posts, Howard commented on not having enough long shots and No-shoots in stages. I think I might incorporate some of that in future stage design. Got Aim?

Your steel on "Razor" fulfilled the hard shots part for this match for many. We purposely left things a little on the easy side because of all the newbies and also because it was the first real match of the year for many of us. We do expect things to get a little tougher in the future. But, I'll look forward to some more of your evil stages.

To whoever found the cell phone and all the good people in the score shack, thank you. I know it's really old, but it's all I have.
