Chute = accuracy with a parachute
Shoot = accuracy with a gun

Combined scores give you the winner.

Yeah, it's really fun. So fun I made it my profession and so can you. See your nearest recruiter for details.:D

Been there - done that - got the T-shirt.

In my case it went like this.

Jump out of 182 at *cough* 1900 ft (I swear the alti was reading low) onto a target in a field about 5 miles from the DZ. Target not a tuffet but a bedsheet bulls eye.
Land. Pack in the grass. (try not to pack hay into the rig) Blast BIG holes in paper target w/ Desert Eagle.

Return to DZ. Jump more. Drink lots. Hula hoop contest w/ stripper.

Video of everything.

I'm down for that, too. I have a backup rig that would be just perfect. Now if I could just figure how not to snag the gun on opening, and avoid dropping it...

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Andy! Are you trying to get me in trouble with Bernice again?:(

Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Although I am not a Texan (please forgive me Aggie Dave), I AM a gun loving gun toting shooting freak. Chute & Shoot just sounds like too much fun. How about swooping into position, quick drawing, blowing the #### out of something...

but the paint ball under canopy idea takes the cake...

I know that there are multiple stages. I think it is skeet, thenpistol, then rifle and then SUBMACHINEGUN. I really want to go and try my luck at the chtue and shoot, but I think that you need to have your "D". It looks like a lot of fun.

Like paraski, I don't really see the point in it....:S

If ya wanna shoot, go shoot.
If ya wanna do accuracy, go do accuracy.

Whats next? 4 way launch and Ludo? A Freefly Twister meet?...Hmmmm....actually sounds okay to me....;)

Years ago...the west end of the Otay DZ was a paint ball game thingie.

If the spot brought you in over the course, you could expect more than a few incoming rounds! :ph34r:
