Icarus and classictarget was presented at this weekend's Magnus Cup, Armscor Shooting Range in Marikina Philippines

DAY 3 August 14 and the last day of the match

From left Marlon D Botte, me, Joey Naveros and Ronnie Santos

Today it is as the last day of Magnus Cup, and I must say it was a nice day to finish, brilliant sunlight and very hot it was.

In the three days the match has been ongoing work with two NROI Joey Naveros, Ronnie Santos and IROA Marlon D Botte, and it's been really nice.

Rico Papa me and JO JO Vidanes

Again today there were many shooters who missed a popper to shoot, even if it stood right in front of them it's pretty amazing to see that so many can forget a target.

Today I had a visit from the good shooters as JO JO Vidanes which shoots open and are originally from the Philippines but now residing in the U.S.A shoot the stage in fastest time 20:35 with 26 A and 6C

Another good friend Rico Papa who shoots Modified and who also shot a good time I forgot the score but time was 20:65, I thinking, most shooter shot the stage in 30 plus.

Shooter is ready

Throughout the match, there have been 332 shooters including 9 DQ, the largest division was standard with a total of 136 shooters, Open at 72, with 71 Production, Modified, there were 15 shooters and gun with 11 shooters who were a part no show would be have 362 shooters.

Armscor Shooting Range in Marikina

Armscor Shooting Range is a not so a big shooting range, which has been there the last 12 years, a shooting range, among other things is used by Eric Grauffel when he is in the Asia, but has a shooting range well used as there are stages around the parking area, many shooters can drive straight infront of a stage, it would never happen in little Denmark: 0))

Here you have total of 12 stages one practice stage and a crono stage, and with that had a practice stage is a really good thing for the shooter, we could well use that in little Denmark.

They also make it with their NROI that they need a period to run Crono stage must work as RM at level I and II matches must be stats officers, so they get around to it all, and they can not apply for IROA if they have not been around those things, this is just the right way to do it.

Awarding and dinner place

We were finished around 4pm and from there began a long wait before the awards ceremony came, it started at. 7pm it was perhaps just to long enough to wait, after we had waited an hour, we were called to a huge food buffet, and I can tell there was run to the buffet, all the people were very hungry,

They had grilled a whole cow to us, so it was nice.

Trophy table

Price table in the cage

Magnus Cup as the first had a price table that I have never seen before, it was good enough large and they had been prizes for a very large amount of money, and they make it that way at all the first 5 in the divisions were called up, pulled a number and the person with highest number was allowed to go first into the cage and so it continued for one hour or one and a half, there was also a draw for 5 guns but I did not win: 0 ((

1 price Limcat Custum gun 2 price Magnus Custum pistol, 3 price STI pistol, 4 price CZ pistol, 5 price Armscor pistol / rifle, 6 price a Refrigerator price.

Winner from the left in Open Stephen Hinojales , Modified Captain America Jerome Morales and Production Jeufro Lejano

JO JO Vidanes got second in Open and best International

My good friend Kenneth Ray Agustin 19 years old and have been shooting 12 years, first time I so Kenneth was when he was 8 years old, I follow Kenneth since, this time he got 4 place in Open, this was not Kenneth's best match, he study of lawyer and he is very busy with that, but his mom told me after 4 years the he will be free to all the shooting he like, am looking forward to it.

The whole team from Ilo Ilo got lots of trophy

Altogether it was a really good match.

Later on I will post the entire report with lots of photos on classictarget.dk here I also have video but it will only be made when I'm back in Denmark

DAY 2 August 13

Team Prince

Day 2

Saturday morning we was on the shooting range 7am as the only one, so we got some breakfast first, and at about 8:30 we were all together, I was ready for the first shooter at 9am and then it just go until 5pm only interrupted by a lunch break.

Grace Tamayo

We had a visit from my favorite lady production shooter Grace Tamayo, which I have followed since she began and it is some years ago.

I think we had about 120 shooters today, and some will also come tomorrow wish is the last day of the match.

I must say that this stage I'm working on is the stage I've ever worked on with so many shooters have forgotten 1, 2 yes up to 3 targets or steel they forgot to shoot at.

Not so much to tell it's been a long day again, it started with a great rainy weather, but after about 30 minutes, it was brilliant sunlight the rest of the day.

Later in the day and for the first time for me we got money for work on this match where I got 1000 pesos around 125 kr and a cool bag a tshirt and an umbrella sponsored by Magnus.

We were home after a short stop with a RO friend at 9:30 pm and now it is to relax and be ready for the final day tomorrow

DAY 1 August 12

The main reason that am here in the Philippines this time is because am here to made my teeth, I should have made 9 tooth crowns.

But suddenly there came out of nowhere a level III match her, and why not take the 3 points with me home.

The match is held from August 12 to August 14.

But first I had to figure out how to come to Marikina where Magnus Cup is held on Armscor Shooting Range

So I went out there yesterday Thursday along with my daughter, it must be said that I live fairly far away from the range, so first we should take the bus in about 45 minutes, then we took a bus for about 30 minutes after that then a jeepney a kind of Philippino mini bus It took just over an hour, and while we were in this jeebney it started raining but not just the rain, no it poured down with rain, and with thunderstorm but after long drive we find the range.

My stage was Stage 12 a good long course of 32 rounds, 12 target, 5 popper 3 plate. a stage with lots of options.

Here they had built 12 real good challenge stage with lots of options, I quickly got met a lot of people I've met before, so it was very nice, and here I also met my godfather who has been NROI.

RO Ronnie Carlos

They already started the RO pre-match, so I also got hold of my timer and run a squad.

Well after a few hours it was time to take the long way home.

It was now time for the first main match day and I left home at 05:30 am and arrived at 08:30 after another long long drive, but no rain.

MR. Captain America Facebook Jerome Jay Morales

The fact is here in the Philippines where there is a level III match, it also means a match with a lot of shooter , but it also means something completely different work as RO, partly because the RO must fill score sheet, with shooter names and number, and secondly it also means here is no such thing as squad, here comes the shooters to your stage when they want to shoot, so if they do not want to shoot it today so they will probably shoot it tomorrow, it also means there is no time schedule, so it's some long days, but you know when you volunteer as RO, so it's fine with me.

I was then also possible to meet some old shooting friends again, here among others. Mary Grace Tan and the whole True Weight team, my good young junior friend who I know since he was 9 years Kenneth Augustin a junior open shooter, but also MR. Captain America Facebook Jerome Jay Morales and Jojo Vidanes were there

90-year-old actor named Eddie Garcia still shooting

But I also had the great opportunity to meet the 90-year-old actor named Eddie Garcia

as with regret could not shoot finished the course of fire, when his open-gun would not what he wanted, and I took his gun and help him out with a malfunction.

Today was the real final of the match and it was the day of the shoot-off

It was my first time to watch a shoot-off, many of the RO told me they don´t want to go it´s so boring but I took the change, I took the bus from hotel together with Mark mini me Weisinger ( sorry don´t Call him that ) and JJ and few other RO

Many people looked at the shoot-off

The shoot-off took place on stage 10 ore 11 i don´t remember, and it was the first day with cloud and little rain and it was cold.

Rain and cold

It took around 4½ hours with all division so it was a long time and yes it was boring until the standard with our Danish champ Ralf Jensen and other good shooter came on
.

Cees, Peter and Adrie

The food was ok but not more than that.
They gave out lots of price also to all division and category but they forgot to give the price for modifier division team, so Alain Juli have to go up after almost all left the party to give out the last price ummm.

So today me, Chees and Adri went back to the Kalemegdan fortness and have a nice walk, then we went to the ZOO that was so nice lot of nice animals, and it was so close to us, if I would I could put my finger into the lion cage, I got some very good picture.

Adie and Cees

About the match today, well I ask some of the RO when they return from the match, it went ok but some issues , reshoot on stage 6 and stage 9 that was the two stage we talk about they should have change something, but they did not change anything and that’s way there still are problem, and as I always say if the thinks not work well like stage 6 the running man and on stage 9 the canon with the swinger if it not working, don’t use it.

Some DQ and one shooter got procedure for using a towel to dry his face, the RO tell don’t use anything to memory the stage.
I can see from the website, the stats is running well, result is coming fast on the website.
So we will se how it will run tomorrow

Day 11 September 14 and the second match day

The top lady squad and me :0))

Today my 4 days strait working days starts, so I had to get up 04:45am, got my breakfast and I left the hotel together my RO friends from the Nederland.
We arrive on the range 6:30 and went down to may stage 9.

Snezana Subasic in the cage

I had to work with another IROA man Nico from Greece, stage 9 is a long course Canon stage, with 5 mini popper and 13 ipsc target, 31 rounds. Start position holding canon ball in both hands, on signal throw the canon ball into the canon and it will release a double swinger.
We had only to shooter there throw the ball outside the canon and have to go back and throw it inside the canon there lost lot of second, one of the shooter was Eli from Double Alpha, it was sad to see, but Eli did not have a good day, his gun did not work with him.
Saul Kirsh was also on my stage together with Yael Dagon, and its just nice to meet these shooter again.
Also came the Lady squad, I will have video later on with all the shooter.

Eli Huttner

We did 6 squad before lunch and 6 after lunch, I did the score on the first 6 squad and with the timer on the last 6 squad.
We had almost 2 hours lunch which is to long time, because we finish 6:30pm and if could start 30 minute early, then we had finish 6pm and not 6:30pm.
Before I went for lunch I watch Eric Grauffel shooting stage 5 and 6, and on stage 5, you have 7 target and 2 plate 9 rounds, he did it in 7:35 second with full house and stage 6 he shot it in 10 second :0))

Eric Grauffel here on stage 6 with the slider.

At the lunch break I had a nice talk with the president Nick Alexakos, and that conversation, I can not talk about it right now :0)) hihi.
When I walk around I stop on one of the stage and here a conversation, between IROA person, and in front of another shooter yo cannot have like that.

Reklame

Otherwise it was a nice day, no big problem.

Day 12 September 15 and Third day of the main match

Eric Grauffel here on stage 9

Also today I was working on stage 9 and today together with a new IROA from Germany, Olaf Thieme.
And we also had 6 squads before and 6 squad after lunch, it have been a long long day and hot
We had beside the squad from Denmark also the super squad with bla. Emil Eric Grauffel, Martin Kamenicek ,and Emile Obriot
And those guy just make perfect Eric shot my stage in 18:05 with 4C and I think that have been until now the fastest time, the other is around 20 second but only for the best.

We was a little behind the plan today but it went ok, we had lunch for one hours, so my way to lunch I run in to all my friends from Philippines true weight with the Open lady shooter Mari Grace Tan.

Frank Garcia from USA

I hope I can see them shoot tomorrow.
I was very tired when I return to the hotel, and my but hearts so I will give it some powder.

Day 13 and 14 September 16 and 17 fourth and fifth match day

One of the local laidy shooter try to escape from stage jail

The last two day I work on stage 21, a long course 32 rounds 14 target, 3 classic mini popper and one plate, gun loaded laying flat on table all magazine laying flat on table, and about the magazine, that came as a surprise for many shooter.

Stage 21

We did 6 squad before lunch and 6 after lunch, we run the stage very good and the time was ok, around 2 minutes pr. Shooter.
I was fun to see specialty when the open shooter came, almost all the open shooter shot the stage in between 18- 20 sec ,
I got the squad with Saul Kirsh, Eli Huttner and Yael Dagan, Eli did not have a good match his gun did not work with him, so he really hope he can get the license for his new gun when he return in Denmark.

Saul on stage 19

Saul give us a little shock when he finish the stage, Saul got a miss and the miss was ok, but he was not happy, that was his first miss on this match and it cost him a place. Yael did a good run and like the stage very much, and I wish all the luck in the future Yael knows what I mean.

Yael on stage 19

Then Lars Tony Skoog from Sweden came and shot the stage in 17,01 so Martin Kamenicek in 16 + Then Eric Grauffel shot it in 15,65 with 3 C
To watch Eric shooting that is something he is just perfect its look so easy, it´s also looks a little slow but when you look a the timer it´s just so fast.
We had a little problem on our stage with one of the Italian shooter, after he shot 4 target and would make a magazine change, he so that one bullet stock in his magazine, and so I was just behind him, and he took the opportunity to run back on me, and I stop him DQ 10.6.1

Later he made an arbitration, he told his story, I told my story and there was lot of witnesses, but later he came back to get a reshot umm, but I did my job so am clean tats ok.

The laidy Production team

Well the stage was ok stage only the grass was not good, after the big rain fall it was like working on rocks so my feed was in pain, but it help every night when I return to my hotel a hot shower was nice.

But but, I was told it’s a weak hand shooting, I ask was its say on the briefing, because the RO say when shooting I cannot use my shooting hand to support on the window frame, and I told it doesn’t say so in the briefing, and he told me for the second time also yesterday on another stage, if I tell it is so then the shooter have to follow my order, and I told him he cannot make his own rules, only the RM can change the briefing , so call the President of IROA and the RM Milan about the problem, and I was right, FOFS then you can do whatever you want.

Some of all the stage

Well my shooting today was ok but also today I got some miss, those swinger down here is very fast, I really have to work with swinger when I come back home, ELI do you listen me :0))

And it should turn out to be one hard day for all the IROA guys and the Arbitration Committee, but more later.
We was on the range 8am and first shot 9am, also today I was on area 1 from stage 1 to 5.
We had 4 squad today on each stage; it started again with a small rain but only for 30 minutes
It turn out we was a little short of helper on stage 5 so I had to help one of the new hopefully upcoming RO Mikael Östling.
Yesterday we had all the Danish shooter with Lars Hagemann, Jack Rømer, Peter Davis, Christian Ditlev and few more,
On this match there is shooter from Norway, Finland, and Denmark and of course from Sweden but also one shooter from Germany turn up.
We finish early around 12:30 pm. And the price ceremony started around 2pm.

Lars become second in Production his best place in NM after Rasmus Gyllenberg , Rasmus getting better and better, I really looking forward to see him shoot in the European Championship.

The best Danish shooter in standard was Peter Schieck end up in 7th place.

My IROA friend Gert Hansen got a second place in Production as senior

As I told before we had some problem about stage 1, and I turn out to be a big job for the Arbitration Committee and for us IROA.
I cannot write so much about it here because some people will take it further. But we have to pull out the stage in the end.
I will say thanks to all the RO and helper in Area 1 from stage 1 to stage 5
Thanks to MD Bjarne Larning, to RM Olle, stats and Robert Andersson.

I really enjoin all the stage, even my own performance was not that good on this match, my second stage my gun would not work with me, so I had to take it apart, then I have to many miss, I end up with 57,33 %

And final can I tell this was my IROA point match number.

There is 11 squad with 10 to 12 shooter pr squad.
The stage is really cool this year, only one stage become a small problem and its a stage with disappearing target, but it will go to the abitration commitee, so we have to see what happend, its about if its a disappearing ore not, you start in a box you have 4 target wich are visible from the start and 4 target wich a not vivible and 1 popper.
You have all the time to shot the first 4 target, then you shot the popper and a noshoot barrier will fall down and those target will disappear and the other 4 target will appear. ummmm. rule 9.9.3.
Well they shot 4 stage then lunch and 3 stage and finish.
