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.
The big trip to Armscor Shooting Range
Jeepney a kind of Philippino mini bus
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 the day before the match along with my daughter,
I live fairly far away from the range, so first we should take the bus in about 45 minutes, then we took a train 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.
The range
Armscor Shooting Range
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 in front 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.
My stage
My stage was Stage 12 a good long course of 32 rounds, 12 target, 5 popper 3 plate. A stage with lots of options.
For this match they had built 12 real good challenge stage with lots of options.
They already started the RO pre-match, so I also got hold of my timer and run a squad.
my coach
My Ninong (godfather) Mr. Onnie Carlos he introduce me to PPSA ( Philippine Practical Shooting Association ) and he teach me how to shoot, If not for my Ninong Onnie G. Carlos I would not be shooting ore ROing.

MR. Captain America
Mr. 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 in the 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.

Eddie Garcia
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.
team
Saturday morning wee started with squad Team Prince
We was ready for the first shooter at 9am and then it just go until 5pm only interrupted by a lunch break.I think we had about 70 shooter Friday and 120 shooters Saturday, and the rest of the 300 shooter came on Sunday
I must say that this stage I'm working on is the first 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.
good friends
Another good friend Rico Papa and JO JO Vidanes
Another two good friend to me came to my stage.

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.
