Spring Classifier Match And Happy Easter!

Quite a few shooters chose to celebrate Easter by shooting the Classifier match at the club in Brighton. Given that Brighton always does their matches on the second Sunday of the month and the first match of the year is always a special qualifier, it was today.

Overall, turnout was somewhat light with 4 squads of 8 shooters each.

I was RO on squad 4 and was joined by Spencer and Scott M for this match.  Always good to shoot with friends.  Had a good squad of nice folks and we got things going.

The first bay we shot in had two different classifiers so we did one after the other.

First one was a nice warm up for everyone while requiring some thinking. 

An array T1-T3, with T3 mainly covered by a no-shoot and T1 having a tuxedo on with only the width of the A-Zone available at about 15 yards.

Had to shoot T1 6 shots, then switch to strong hand only, and shoot T3 6 times.  Then reset shoot T2 3 times freestyle and then 3 times weak hand only. 

Of course I had one mag jam to slow me down.  The Henning extensions and magazine follower doesn't seem to like 150 grain 9mm and I had stupidly only tested them with 115 which worked fine.  The standard factory 21 round mags handle it fine but when you add the Hennings to turn them into 23 round magazines, they keep choking on the 150 grain bullets.  Learned that the hard way on that stage.

4 more fun classifiers including one with a lot of running - and with one shooter almost getting DQ'd as he almost broke the 180 running downrange from one port to get to another. He likely hit 179 degrees before getting the gun back in the right direction.  We finished with a freestyle course of 30 rounds on 15 targets in the shoot house, which was a lot of fun.

A darn good way to spend what had turned into a beautiful sunny morning and early afternoon. Good bunch of people to shoot with.

Scores are not out yet, so I'm not sure how I did. I suspect I didn't get up into B class, not yet anyways.  It will still be something to keep working towards. 

I hope all my Christian readers are having a very happy Easter.
