2021 LA FC V2 Practice Results

The wind at Long Range Alley bared it's teeth for this match. In very difficult conditions, and with most of the field shooting fullbore pair firing for the first time, it was quite the experience. I can say honestly that I witnessed more deer-in-the-headlight looks than I have seen in a while.

Awesome shooting Jade and Dougie!

Shooting 2 to a mound for the first time, and doing it at Shreveport would cause one to stop and ponder the cruel humor of the wind gods for sure.

First 1k match and with a dasher... was tough in that wind. Still had a great time and met some good people and look forward to seeing y’all next time.

Doug shot extremely well but only dropping 3 in the last match was exceptional. Jade made a cameo appearance, took the match by storm, and fades quietly back into the shadows....LOL.

Not bad for a guy that claimed he didn’t have enough ammo for the match. Most fun I ever had shooting bad. Was a real learning experience.
Many thanks to Skip and the LRA crew for setting up this match.

Yeah..that's how he rolls.

Doug put on quite a show!!! I have been humbled before, and will be humbled again, but this was by far the most difficult range I have shot on. Not just one relay, but every relay was was just..... well difficult. Hats off to Skip and everyone that helped run the match and brought their etargets to shoot on. It was a great match with great people, and well worth the trip. I would encourage anyone who thinks they have it all “figured out” to come shoot this match or the state match here in September. Hats off to all the competitors, Jade and Doug shot the best in their respective classes, but every one shot well.

Congratulations Doug and Jade, sounds like you really earned it, pair fire makes it even more special.

The ante will be upped next V2 qualifier....Skip has proposed a grape firing format instead of pears....much harder to hit in heavy mirage.

 

[Crow]

Pair firing on a tricky range couldn't be more fun... hope we see more of these matches on a regular basis. Great job by Skip and crew, as always...

Thanks everyone! Once in a while everything comes together. For those that weren’t there here’s a little taste, I had windshield wipers 8’s in match 1 and 5 nines in a row in match 8 . There is no hiding in pair fire and no lead is safe at LRA. Also Jade’s score with a TR gun is phenominal.
Great match Skip and Ric!

Wade, it's definately "different" pair firing. This was the 1st time i've ever done it. Making a wind call (sighter shot) every shot at Shreveport can be a bit nerve racking.........LOL

It was good meeting you Dan, glad you made it down for the match. Hopefully you can make it back in the future. As for Shreveport conditions, it can be a bit challenging at times (just about everytime actually).........lol

 

[Down South]

Thanks everyone, appreciate it. It was nice to get back to a match. Hadn't shot since last September. Congrats to Doug and everyone else shooting well. Doug, i was watching you shoot your last string and only dropping 3 points in that stuff was unreal. Super shooting.

Skip, thanks for running the match. You do a great job and i know everyone appreciates it along with all the LRA folks. Oh, and thanks again for letting me use your I-Pad

 

[Rope2horns]

Congrats to Dougie and Jade!!! Awesome shooting men!!

 

[Jennb]

This was a phenomenal match, competition was top notch and Skip is a great match director. LRA are great hosts and work very hard to make things fun for everyone. It is definitely a tough place to shoot. Thanks to everyone for putting this match together.

 

[tvaught]

Congrats to Doug "The Fonz" Skogman! Great shooting Sir!

Great shooting Jade in big tough wind!
