That's Joe Huffman on the left. I'm wearing gloves for two reasons. One, Blackhawk gave 'em to me and I wanted to take them out for a spin. Two, I noticed my grip kept slipping and the gloves helped a ton with that.

The stage went as follows. You were to engage the steel plate directly in front of you with 2 hits, then take cover, placing two shots on a mover if it came into play. Then take down the last 6 plates (again, placing 2 shots on a mover if it came into play), then move to the end and unload onto the last stationary plate.

I missed my very first shot (I was walking like a duck instead of 'on a balance beam' which throws your shots left and right), nailed the mover while moving to cover and then the other mover immediately after I got to cover. I reloaded, after which I engaged the two movers (no misses), then nailed down 4 plates (no misses). Reloaded, missed, hit, missed, hit then two hits at the end.

That was too much fun. Just too much darn fun.
