@@marzcapone9939 no, Weapons Outfitters is a company in Washington (i believe) and he has been keeping his face a secret for a while. But he has a bunch of awesome products and apparel on the website. I highly recommend giving it a look. Good Pro-2A people and amazing products on their site.
@@03forgotten Yeah, WO is in Washington. He's good people but tries to make his social media about the product and not the personality. He also knows where some mean dumplings are in WA.
@@bishopsteiner7134 Hey no shade to inrange for hosting it, just to the ad director of WEAPONoutfitters that its lame haha. Its not like karl is the ad exec.
@@_f355 Honestly it might have been in the next bay over. In person it was a bit hard to tell sometimes and once I had a moment of panic when people were down range on our stage and I started hearing steel being hit. After half a second I realized people were just making solid hits in the next bay over, not ours.
@@SgtKOnyx he's the only one who didn't care...when Karl came down for last call for it many people where really having a hard time deciding. Convinced one of my teammates to do it and he benefitted but boy did he hem and haw about it.
@@znutar Thinking about this again, I think the stage really helped encapsulate what Karl's intentions appear to be, that at the end of the day it's not you competing against anyone other than yourself. Though I suspect it will not be done again?
I realized immediately that Ian doesn't see the head and almost shouted at my screen. I would if not the reflexes I developed with the stupid no-coaching policy at the IPSC matches I usually attend.
That target fixation is actually honestly really scary if you think about it. That's something I really hope I never experience in a real world situation.
Bloke's example of a wingman following his leader into a crash reminded me that when I was a kid, I got autographs from all of the USAF Thunderbirds pilots at an air show near my hometown. A few months later, they lost the _entire diamond formation_ (four aircraft and all their pilots) in just such an accident, during preseason training for the next year's shows. They were practicing a formation loop, the leader's stabilizer jammed and prevented him from pulling out at the bottom, and the other three followed him straight into the ground.
Man, the report from firing that FG-42 mist be very distinctive, I bet a lot of people were watching Ian's runs. Does the thought of "This is really cool that I'm using [gun] in this match" tend to sit in the back of your mind or does it just turn into another rifle once the clock starts?
Rare moment where Ian TECHNICALLY bested Karl in a match (if we choose to ignore the whole different class and hobbling that Karl did to himself). Ultimately, I think Karl's position in the match says far more about his ability than it's a detriment to Ian's.
I remember taking a motorcycle racing introductory course and they said something to the effect of, "don't stare down what you want to avoid". They were teaching us to keep looking through the turn, because they said you will go where your eyes take you.
Target fixation is a bad thing for motorcyclists, I have several things on me that don't work properly and a friend or two that didn't get off so lightly.
@@SgtKOnyx That is extremely simplistic. There are many significant differences between the weapons, the shooters and their performances that in the end played out this way.
@@SgtKOnyx As one example, how did the rifle round count affect Ian's not noticing the Mini-Mozambique target's head was up? That cost Ian several penalties.
@@MarvinCZ Mate. Karl scored highly because he is extremely competent, but he also was in a division with different rules. Ian had some flubs, but is also a competent shooter, and together they are near one another in overall match score, ignoring the different rules. It's funny to joke about, but it doesn't really mean anything.
As a fellow competitor of mine once said, the timer is the neuralizer from Men in Black, once it beeps, you forget the last 5 minutes and your stage plan.
I got a bang and was a little salty not going to lie haha I get why they did it though. It is all in good fun and didn't hurt my enjoyment of the match at all.
Ian - "I couldn't tell when I got the head up." Michael Scott - "That's what she said!" haha Also, watching Ian carry the bazooka tube in one are and hand carrying his rifle made me think "Hmm, the carry handle on an M4 doesn't seem so silly now!"
Ian, I was just as fixated on the target as you were. I didn't notice that the head came up until just before you did...and I'm at home not on the clock. I had to re-watched just to see when it went up. I thought it went away like the other type.
Gun shots are too loud for the mics, so they are built with an automatic cut out to protect them. The 8mm hitting the plates makes a nice definitive ring that the mics pick up well but isn't too loud for the equipment.
There were guys in my squad who couldn't get under it with all their gear and ended up lifting/throwing it up and over them. There was no rules that they had to stay on the ground I guess!
Interesting to see how close Ian and Karl times were despite the difference in kit, though a good bit of that looks like all the penalties Ian racked in that last stage. I'd really love to see a run from the guy that won classic with an m1 carbine, that has to be interesting.
Ian, can you modify your holster ( I believe that's a repro? ) by riveting a tab of bent spring steel under the flap so it stays somewhat closed when not 'locked' with the leather tab? Even a strong neodymium magnet might to the job to keep the handgun in place. Just for a light jog, mind.
18:15 Obviously not the same thing, but I've done exactly that in a game or two. Don't pull up quick enough after a certain point and your boned no matter what you do. Just can't change direction fast enough for it to matter. i wonder if the Japanese ever attributed pilots who died crashing into their target due to tunnel vision as kamikaze pilots.
@@InrangeTv Sounded like someone was performing airobatic maneuvers in the background (think I caught sight of the plane doing it near the end of the ad there.)
@@InrangeTv Did any of the shooters complain about the noise? Being a pilot and an avid firearms enthusiast, it's always puzzled me how people move next to an airport and then bitch about noise abatement. In this case, it's like a little piece of heaven for a misfit toy like me.
How is the shot sound damping done while recording? I mean you can hear everything very clearly, steps, loading, even breathing, and relative to that, the rifle sounds very silent. Is this natural in the open, because the camera is behind him, or is there a recording trick to it?
ghostriderskulls I did not win either division I competed in 2020. There were many peer level shooters and better at the event this year. And this is a good thing. I like the competition and attracting higher level shooters means the event is being taken seriously by a wider audience in addition to the core that are here for fun with their friends. I was Match coordinator first and competitor second this year. The biggest success for me was running an event with 200+ shooters on schedule where almost everyone enjoyed themselves.
IIRC there were very few DQs, maybe 5 or 6 total out of over 200 people. Honestly the only one I personally saw was on unsafe handling of the pistol when putting it in the bucket at the end of the mini-mo portion. Overall IMO the match was run very well with ROs giving good coaching to make sure everyone stayed safe and shooters doing a great job in general of safety awareness.
