Texas Multi Gun 2014, What the heck happened there?
I'm over on Enos looking at the match thread for the 2014 Texas Multi Gun and see a ton of comments hardly ever seen regarding a 3 gun match let alone on a single page.
Here are the comments from just page 13.
"I will never shoot this match again and will advise others of the same.”
"I and my whole squad witnessed Stage 1 being materially changed (rifle targets moved, the plate rack moved and you could no longer shoot the steel with a pistol and reholster hot as the ROs did) during our walkthrough and after the first shooter shot. That is no way to run a match. “
"I saw more than one stage with different requirements on Saturday than were in place on Friday. "
"Also got to see several guys on a squad at stage 10 do the same 180 violation I did with their shotgun but no match dq's issued for them. RO even warned my squad that he was tired of having shotguns pointed at him...I earned my DQ and didn't argue with the RO or MD abouth their decision since I made the mistake. Unfortunately, the enforcement of rules and intent of the stage rules was left open to interpretation. "
"This was never a level playing field for most of the competitors. I am sure most of the competitors believe that either some serious stage changes occurred to facilitate some of the stages times that are in question or blatant cheating/favoritism occurred.”
`"On Saturday morning the long range stage had FIVE offhand targets, not 6. The saga continues…”
"I won't spend the time, money, and energy to come back. Honestly without more answers and less excuses I wouldn't go to another match that you are associated with (Sheldon Caruth). “
"I for one would like to know if we were all competing on a level playing field”
"RO's shot it different than competitors. Over half the stages should have been thrown out if that was the case. Match Director called it a "miscommunication"
“
" I doubt I will be back. I am willing to let a great many things during a match slide, because I live in reality, but I do expect the match to be fair at the end.”
"This was my first Texas Multigun........and my last. “
“This is the first time I'm leaving a match with a bad taste in my mouth."
So what the heck happened for you guys that were there?
Were people really changing targets or adding them on different days or for different squads? Thats stuff thats being posted online or sent around. Heard some rumors at the 3 Gun Nation Pro Series but didn't know what to think until I got online here and saw the comments.
