Limited
58 points, 6.89 seconds, 8.4179 hit factor
(works out to just under 79% nationally)

Interesting thing about the two no-shoot partials, there were distinct four-shot groups on each, where I dropped once C each. Each group was clearly shying away from each no-shoot. It's interesting because I was aiming for the A zone, coming in from the left each pass. I wasn't aiming for the middle of available brown.

  Yo Erik!  I notice that I too have a hard time shooting at the "available brown".   I know we are supposed to ignore no shoots, but if I have a choice between a "C" and a no shoot, my subconcious says " take the C dude".  I'ts just dang difficult to regulate precision at high speed.   Mighty fine run though!  

[Erik Warren]

The benchmark hit factor on that thing means the big dogs are shooting it clean in under six. Yikes.

[Ron Ankeny]

Erik:

The high HF is the same (close enough) as the standard El Pres. Go figure. I slopped through one in 5.27 seconds last month and I was pretty clean except for one little old penalty.  Shoot it enough times and a guy is bound to get lucky.

[Ron Ankeny]

Erik:

Shot the darn thing again last Sunday. I shot at the "available brown" and stayed clear away fron the no shoots and hardcover. As a result, I only managed 51 points. Time was 6.09 for a HF of 8.3744. I can't decide if a guy should play it safe or go for the A zone and let 'er rip. I hate this one...

[Erik Warren]

Same hit factor as a wide-open El Prez? That's just wrong.

Ron, I think if you aren't shooting 57 or more points in the 12-round classifiers, you're an "also-ran" no matter how fast you do it.

[Ron Ankeny]

Erik:

Yeah, I know a guy has to get most of the points on the scoring face. That's why I think I would be better off to crowd the no shoots and the hard cover rather than shoot center of available mass. Then again, I am working on A class so I guess I could get there through speed, although I would prefer to do it with points.

[Erik Warren]

I think most of my classifiers are solid A percentages. (That is, except for the ones where I missed or dinged a no-shoot.) Most of them are just plain get-those-Alphas shooting, no heroic speed runs. I think that's what it takes to get into A class.

[PaulW]

Just shoot this Saturday...

OPEN
5.50/56 points/HF 10.1818

Well see what percentage this brings.

[Ron Ankeny]

Erik:

Well it came back 78.8 per cent so it's good enough for A class. To go any higher I am going to have to get those points because I can't go much faster, yet.

Paul:

Yikes, you smoked me on points and time. It would be interesting to see how you do in open. Would be master in Limited, I think.

[Erik Warren]

Open, 5.88, 56 points (1 B, 3 C) = 9.5238 HF

I swear I burned up the first five seconds up to the reload and shot the second pass in .88. :) I don't know what made me do it but I just unleashed after the reload.

[Shooter Grrl]

59 points in 9.71 secs for a super sloppy 6.076 hf.  Bobbled the reload something awful so went for the points after that.  

Guess what I'm practicing this week :)

[Erik Warren]

Oh my, that Open run turned out to be 89%.

Folks, this is a sign of the apocalypse. I've shot an M classifier with a foo-foo gun. Repent.

[BradC]

This was the very first classifer I ever shot.  Shot it the first weekend of December last year.

Posted a huge 37.786%

"Oh, you mean I'm NOT supposed to shoot where its black?  Its so easy to see though!"  =)

[Erik Warren]

Yeah they don't tell you about black targets in the new shooter orientation because they want you to concentrate on safety. Here's a helpful hint... don't shoot the white ones or the ones with Xs on them, either. :)

[BradC]

Thanks for the hint! ;)

I've been shooting for about 9 months now,  and I'm starting to get the hang of it.  I just got my B card in Limited and have my first B level score in L10.  I'm pushing for my A card before my daughter is born in August.

Which reminds, I should be dry-fire practicing, not posting =)

I shot Nuevo last August as a C-class for a 6.9712 hf, which scored 65.403% nationally.

I just shot it again.

I was shooting Limited Minor (G17, Fobus holster, factory ammo).  I hadn't been shooting very well all day.  Between Minor and the way I had been shooting...I decided I'd better just tone it down and go for the Alpha hits. (ahhh...there is a front sight on this gun)

60 points, 7.26 seconds
8.2645 hf, should go in at 77.5369%

[shred]

Shot it today.. 58 pts in 6.6 sec.  My reload magazine crashed into the one coming out of the gun.  First time I've done that, but as I didn't see any of it, I need to  practice what I'm looking at on reloads.

[Erik Warren]

Limited again, 55 points less a no-shoot penalty, in 7.36 (flubbed the reload).

What was weird was that I was a shot-calling fool on T2-T3 because of the no-shoots. I called one right on the shoulder perf of the NS, and sure enough, it was dead on the perf. I think I had all but one Alphas on T2-T3 and dropped most of the points on T1. Something about that brown and black doesn't work with my vision like the brown and white.

[SmittyFL]

52pts @ 4.85 secs for 10.72 (open, M)

I was just shooting for brown.....and the points reflected that.

[Jake Di Vita]

If my sheet is right that's still 100%. Sweet!

[SmittyFL]

TIS,

That's what I figured also, but how the hell can I have a 100% w/ 8 pts. down?

Edited: 9/24/03

Our guys were late sending in scores (surprise) but it did come in at 100%. That's my first.

[Jake Di Vita]

If you could shoot it fast enough you could get 100% with 30 points down.

[Ron Ankeny]

There is no way to determine what the time was for the fastest run with 60 points. If I shot it clean in under 5 seconds my score would still be 100 per cent and it wouldn't change the HHF.

[SmittyFL]

Ron,

I was speaking generally.....If you know the HHF (or average HHF) then you know what the time would have to be w/ all pts.

Right?
