Athena Lee and the 2011 Double Tap match (Shooting Wire/Youtube)


Athena Lee can be seen in the video below, shooting all 12 stages to win the Women's Open title at the 2011 "Lost/Atlantis" Double Tap match in an extremely close-run race for the title.




You can see this video, and several other similar videos of the 2011 Double Tap Championship, starting here.

These videos are especially helpful to competitors because they demonstrate how to handle difficult challenges such as retreating uprange, safely (with out sweeping yourself) opening both doors and 'windows', shooting "off balance", and the value of timely and reliable reloading of magazines.
Comparing the videos of Athena's performance vs 2nd place Valerie's demonstrates how a bobbled reload (stage 3) and a jam or two (stages 8 & 9) can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Athena was shooting Minor power; Valerie was shooting Major. The Athena won the match by lest than 0.98 points.
