Hey THR,
I competed in my first tournament last Sunday. The discipline is a local reduced version of IPSC in which all stages are Virginia, and only 14 rounds are fired per stage (two magazines, 7 rounds each), with stock guns. This activity, called "TEA" (Tiro en Acción, or "Shooting in Action"), was developed here in Argentina after the financial crisis we suffered a few years ago kicked a lot of people out of IPSC due to its costs.
Now, it's acting as an affordable, entry level dynamic shooting activity mostly for newbies like myself who are forced to shoot on a budget.
But enough talking! I'll leave you with the videos of the four stages shot on Sunday. If anyone has an opinion or would like to criticize, correct, or suggest something, I'll be more than grateful. Please try not to puke on your computer, I only started doing this a couple of weeks ago!
Stage 1 (fall plate, fall!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Suw4mKomXs
Stage 2 (I forgot to shoot a round into the very last target ): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b8G8rSF7RY
Stage 3 (my gun is in a box?): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xakk5u1NCsU
Stage 4 (don't forget to grab the stick): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i4E48WQofI
We were little less than twenty shooters, and I came home with a little medal in 8th place!
Here's a difficult excercise for you guys: SPOT THE FIRST TIMER:
Cheers,
Julian
