Ladies and gentlemen,

It has been brung

SOTM January 2009 is a fact now

We had a lot of rain today but eventually the whether gods bestowed mercy upon us

The first SOTM have been crowned, in production Serge came back hard after a previous asswhooping from the butcher last week. The butcher thought he was smart by putting some booby traps for us but alas he stepped into his own trap and got 2 procedurals on his own stage.

In standard i had the wind in my sail and had some smooth sailing, but alas not all of SVS's top shooters were here today so competition was scarce but nevertheless it was a great game.

There were 3 long courses, stage 1 had 19 rounds and you had to carry a 20 liter paint bucket with a 3/4 of a 4inch building brick in it than you had to stand on 4 inch building bricks and shoot over barrels on targets flat on the ground covered with no shoots, it was a very tricky stage and a lot of shooters, including myself were confused at one moment.
Stage 2 was a 32 round stage where you had to start seated in a chair gun unloaded and first mag on table and you had to hold a book in front of you. There were multiple options to shoot this stage but everyone choose the most logical, moving from left to right, there was a window which had to be opened by holding on to a cord and after that you had to advance to a door where you had to run up to a line of barrels which were covering 4 paper targets with 2 no shoots covering them and also a popper which activated a swinger which could be shot from the far right position of the stage, that was about a 12m run.
Stage 3 was a modified CLC 19 where you had 3 targets placed at 1.5m height of which 1 was at 26m, the second was at 13m and the third at 8m. The start was hands at side on signal draw and engage the 26m target freestyle with a minimum of 6 shot perform a mandatory reload and engage target 2 at 13m strong hand only with a minimum of 6 shot perform a mandatory reload and engage the last target at 8m weak hand only with a minimum of 6 shot. The stage was comstock and man were there shots fired!!
