Ok, was a great shoot, dankie Fanie en Johan for setting it up, very challenging. Waar de f#k het jy al daai plate gekry? Ek het nie geweet Wolwehoek het so baie d@nnerse plate nie. Dit het gelyk of Iscor ons geborg het met plate.
As I said very challenging and far shooting. Plates are very unforgiving. Hit or mis, six or nix.
Targets you can still get away with a D, not plates.
I have always been one for accuracy and not speed, speed will come later. This shoot showed that, the fast shooters just missed fast. Then, the spray and pray took over. What did Robert say? “I did some gardening around the plates!”
Ok, the one shoot was a bit over the top, it looked like a f#cking Klu Klux Clan gathering. White everywhere. Even the plates were white. And bl!ksem, a lot of plates, 11 of them, hiding behind LOTS of hostages, it required fancy footwork. Ohhh yes, there was one target.
The shoot took forever, I gave up eventually. Ok, I was in a big squad, I think 12 shooters, that’s a lot of shooters. One of the squads easily finished at least an hour before our squad came into the club. As I said, I gave up and went to drink beer, there I found other shooters in the clubhouse finished shooting. Our squad still had two shoots to go.
I think the problems is the frigging walkthroughs. I did one walkthrough. And that’s it. I eventually decided not to do that. I just followed the footpath left behind from all the guys doing f#cking walkthroughs.
11 guys, walking through, one after the other, getting in each other’s way frigging AIR GUNNING, really p!ssed me off. Looked more like a circus.
Apparently, the briefing is 5 min, but boy oh boy, it was a lot longer than that…
BUT as I said, very challenging, very long shots, a zillion plates spread around the various shoots. And when the target is fairly close it is a Minnie target.
The assault course looked like something out of a Witches gathering, you had to shoot out of a sort of huge pentagram on the ground, With half targets, and of course lots of plates and long shots. Made you think. AND Of COURSE, the air gunners had a field day here, looked more like a bloody dance floor with shooters weaving around each other.
Maar to Fanie and his guys, a good challenging shoot. The round count was misleading. I think it was 125. But it was more or less 140 for all the plates.
