haha! yeah not about slot cars

you're right, We call it the Northwest Championship Series. Each of the 6 clubs in the section run a Series match. Shooting in one will get you a "point". Collect a minimum of 4 points to qualify you to obtain a slot to go to the nationals. Final decision is also based on your rankings.

There are also cash prizes given away at the end of the entire Championship Series Matches. One of the matches is a special two point match that's run like a Level 2 match which will be happening at the Renton Fish & Game Club on September 27th.

Thanks for the clarification.
A local club series like this is a great way to maintain interest and attendance.

Great Match today. It drizzled a little but then quickly went away. The stages were well put together, super high hit factor all round. Lucky to come in 2nd place. Had a few minor screw-ups but no big stage bombs. Thanks to the Down Zero team for putting together another solid match!

Great match, fun stages and squad. I wish I did better... had a mike on so many stages and no-shoots too. Need to focus and concentrate on the dot a bit more. Grats to Tim for HOA win and to Dave and gang for putting up a great match!

Series / Slot matches are the slightly more important matches where shooters get to compete in a series of matches to determine overall placing over six different clubs. They stand to win cash prizes and an opportunity (slot) to go to the Nationals. Find out more at http://northwestsection.org

Today's stages were fun with lots of interesting angles and shots. While I took the match win by the skin of my teeth, I wasn't very happy with my performance. I felt very uneasy shooting these stages and was inefficient with my movements.

I was going for "Hero or Zero" on the classifier and I lost which was pretty hilarious to watch. *lol*

I shoot multigun once a year, last time being Aug 2014. This is my 2nd time ever shooting Multigun in the Tactical Division. I sold my Glock 17 so I have to run my 19 this time which is so small I actually pinched my palm during a reload.

Not sure where I placed, I doubt it was very good as I have 3 big penalty stages. Doesn't really matter though, I shoot this for fun and boy it was. My shotgun reloads need a ton of work/practice if I'm to get into this seriously.

For now, I'll stick to USPSA Open Pistol.

-CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED- is all i can say about my shooting performance. Here's my list of excuses: hurt my strong hand a week before, new trigger fitted but not tuned, no practice, blah blah blah.

The match was super fun though! lots of steel, fast movements and that one stage where we shot from a moving Gator! so bloody fun. Thanks to the Custer Mooseketeers for setting up this match.

Great match in fabulous weather! Gun is running well, I wish the shooter was. Saw some high paying risky situations I could exploit but I failed to deliver. No matter, at least I was brave/foolish enough to try it.

Always fun to shoot with squadmates that are better than you, gives you something to go after.

Thanks to Dave and crew for setting this match up!

No no-shoots, no-partials, total of ~350 rounds of ammo, 1700+ points, massive stage hit factors and all kinds of fun. This has to be the funnest match I've shot at. It's an outlaw, USPSA-like match put up by the Marysville Rifle Club to support the Hand-in-Hand Emergency Foster Care Organization. (http://www.handinhandkids.org)

Hosing match + no match pressure = TOTAL FUN!

This level two USPSA match is organized once a year as part of our series/slot matches and counts for two. You need a minimum of four to be entered in the challenge to determine your eligibility for National slots.

It's a 181 round match with some really challenging stages which is good for my practice for the nationals. I'm not really happy with my performance, as there were some screw ups which I really need to not replicate again.

This match was organized by the Down Zero crew at the Renton Fish and Game Club.
