68 on blue

 

Thank You

 

dang I feel for anyone yet to shoot the FITASC. Already 2 99's and several 98's and still at least a third of the field yet to finish (or even start).

 

Yeah I shot it yesterday. I did OK for me. Let's face it of the 1500 plus people there 1475 of them don't stand a chance. Me included! It's just a game. My buddies and I had a great time with some really fun targets. Steve

 

Great mindset

 

I do not know who set the Fitasc, but it was some of the best Fitasc targets I have ever shot. Many easy to hit, yet many easy to miss. Kruger set the super sporting and it was fantastic. All of the targets have been good.

 

By the scores it looks more like a trap shoot then Fitasc. 😂.

 

Agreed. Scores all around at Jack Links seem high this year.

Its nice to see Kruger around again He is a great dude and a good target setter.He does not beat you with distance kinda like frazier

 

Score Chaser has the scores so screwed up on the main. Unbelievable. I miss Winscore.

 

How are they screwed up? My guess is station two on Blue was thrown out so everybody gets an automatic six. With that, they’d be accurate.

 

whatever happened on that station seemed to have occurred on day one. Must have been some sort of unrecoverable issue with a machine / presentation. Its rare to have a station thrown out but if it is the right thing to do...then it needs to be done. I think a lot of shooters including Brandon and Anthony would have liked it to be Blue 10 instead.

 

On a different Jack's Links note, I just saw a Nik Berry video titled Anthony Matarese shooting his first registered event with new gun. Was on the Red prelim. I can't figure out what Beretta variant he is shooting. Still wearing Beretta gear so seems he is still with them. Doesn't look like a DT11 to me. Anyone recognize it or know what he is driving now?

Not that it matters to me other than curiosity.

 

Ant is shooting the new SL2 Beretta.

Speaking of scores…...Some of these master class scores couldn’t place top 5 in D class. Interesting observation with all the recent talks of down classing.

Thank you. Now I remember something about this model introduction some time ago.

 

Looks like it's Joseph Fanizzi's to lose being up by 2 targets. I've heard it is raining today so that will add an additional challenge.

I don't think that is quite right as his score includes the free 6 on blue he hasn't shot yet. He certainly will be near the top but I don't believe he is up anything over BP yet.

 

He has dropped 3 targets and Brandon has dropped 4 thru 2 rounds. Only up by 1.

 

yup. And shooting a different set of targets entirely today. Blue 10 for young JF could be a big deal if he shoots it really well.

 

Rainy today. Glad I'm not shooting! IRT the FITASC targets I personally felt they were very user friendly. Each parcour was very different with a lot of variety. Almost all within 30-40yards. There was one separator target on each parcour that was 50-60yards. It was shot new style. I had never shot new style before, if you don't like a target it will be gone soon enough! The scores are really high throughout the classes. Now I'm not calling sandbagging, however this shoot with the purse draws out EVERYONE from across the country. With the class flush this year no surprise. I'll be waiting for mine next year. Steve

 

Fanizzi did his part. 66 on blue and 195 total. Well done. Powell will need tear up white to equal that.

 

Fanizzi posted a big score. Only dropped 5 targets overall. Brandon will have to only drop 1 on his final round to tie.

 

Several still in the hunt, especially with them throwing that station out.

 

You need some work on math. I think Brandon is the only one in the hunt.
…and yes, you are wrong once again. 🤣

 

You be wrong

 

Looks like 195 will do it. Amazing shooting.

 

Did Joe shoot the A400?

 

Can’t imagine him not shooting the A400, but I’ve not seen any photos to verify it. Great shooting on a rainy day!

 

Only way to settle this of course…….a shoot off. Get it done.😂

 

Came across this vid.
All main event stations through a shotcam

 

I was told the Blue #2 station was challenged because the sign stated it had a different target than it was actually throwing. I didn't win my class but I hit the Lewis so the tournament was nearly free I met some great squad mates and had a blast! I can't wait for next year!!

 

Disregard

 

Yes, station 2 on blue stated “standard” for the B bird, but it was actually a midi. I don’t know if someone complained or if it came to the attention of management and they made the call. Regardless, it was a very hittable target.

Red and white courses were a lot of fun with a wide variety of targets. I personally felt that blue was boring and had very little variety. It was the only course I shot that I wasn’t real impressed with. Super sport was an absolute blast, perhaps the best SS course I’ve ever shot.

And Sunday shooting in the rain really sucked!

 

This 2nd paragraph shows why a target setter and shoot management will never make everyone happy. No matter what they do. Most of what I heard on targets/courses was the opposite of this post.
.
In my opinion the Blue and about 1/2 of White were the only major Championship targets we saw all week. Side events were even more on the soft side.
.
Nothing wrong with that. With big entries management decided to not beat up on the masses. There will be plenty of events throughout the year much tougher and some easier.

 

I just perused the scores. Unfortunately, I wasn't there, but I can't help but observe that the complaining about scores at the Western Regional last August is not apparent for Jack Link's.

What am I missing?

My guess would be the size check that was cut. JAWAG. I shot FITASC, targets were user friendly but entertaining. Steve
