I just shot this one recently, and really enjoyed it... it's different "drawing" and reloading from a shelf but it was fun.
I shot it clean in 6.34 seconds with my new Limited gun - HF 9.4637 / 80.4549%
(I know I could have gone a little faster, but then it might not have been clean...!)

SPEED is what this stage is all about. A fast D or *gasp* even a Miss at a high rate of speed can still generate a high hit-factor.

I once shot this stage clean (60 pts.) but took 6 seconds to do it, and it equates to a 82%

On the other hand I once shot it 4 pts down in less than 5 seconds and it came out to a 95%

Get it down even further (time-wise) and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Getting a fullsize open gun out of the box can be a little tricky on this one. I tend to hit the top of the counter every time on the draw and last time on the reload. I do like this one though.

[Chris Keen]

I know what you mean Boz. I shoot Limited, but still stand a foot or two back from what feels natural. Just enough that I have to reach a little forward to retrieve the gun. Give that a try next time.

It's all about the draw and reload on this stage. Then blaze it down.

Just shot it today in Open. 6.25s clean and that looks to be about 81%. It is definitely all about the draw and reload. I fumbled a little on the reload, probably cost me a half of a second. Shot it left to right, reload, left to right. I noticed, as did my shooting buddy, that most people stand to close to the table. Chris Keen is right on, a foot or two back and reach a little.

The angle of the video came out good so I thought I would post this one. Plus it was a pretty decent run under match conditions. 2010 Factory Gun Classic this past weekend in Florida.

Production 52pts 4.5sec

Good stuff. Thanks for posting that, Shannon.

I shot my first ever classifier match last weekend. 5.88 seconds and 58 points made a 9.8639 hit factor. The calculator says this is 100% for production. Is that right??

[Chris Keen]

Negative Ghost Rider. It comes out to about a 88.28%. Mini Mart is all about SPEED, not points. So next time you shoot it try to go faster. DONT MISS. But dropping a few more points will not hurt at all, if you can get your time down to 4.88 or even less. Every tenth of a second less on this classifier makes a big difference.


Example #1: 58 pts / 5.88 sec. = 9.8639 hit factor (88%)

Example #2: 50 pts. / 4.88 sec. = 10.2459 hit factor (91%)

Looks like I must have entered it on the wrong classifier. Thanks. I'll still take an 88%. And I'll pick up the pace next time.

[Chris Keen]

Hell yeah! Thats a Master class run.

[Ed Deegan]

shot this today.

ss 5.42 down 1.

Something told me to put 2 mags in the slot. 1st one came out with the gun. Had to reach way in there.

My first m, hope it counts.

[tacticalchef]

hey guys.. Shot this today at our local club match. Ok.. to start, I am an A open. Shot it right to left, reloaded and shot left to right. Ya.. down 2 points, and 4.92. That is like 99% or so. May not be an A much longer.

Just shot this one the other week, 4.67 down 4 points. Posted as a 100%. When I was prepping for this stage I only set one mag in the cubby, thinking if I drop that, the classifier will be slow anyway. Right at the last moment I put a second mag in 'just in case', and good thing too. As I pulled my gun out the first mag came with it, but the backup was still safely inside.

I shot this one this past Sunday in Limited. 5.13 sec, 59 points, for a HF of 11.5. Comes out to be 97% in Limited. This should take me to Master. This stage really played off my strength: close targets that need to be shot fast.

[MRevolutionIX]

Shot this last weekend in production. Ran it in 5.67 sec. with 60 points. Calculated to be 94%. The thing about this stage was, I received my first match DQ because of an AD on this same stage about a year ago and I was nervous as hell. I was given the "make ready" command and at that moment I was determined to over come the fear of this stage and I experienced something that i have never felt before. Im still trying to figure it out and if I had to describe it, I would describe it as an out of body feeling, with a determined focus but maintaining an absolute calm.
