babob Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Maybe I missed it, but what are all the side matches going on this year? Hopefully the clay bird / trap side match will return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CmbtEngr Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Great match, Howard! An excellent variety of shooting challenges and smoothly run with dedicated and professional RO's. Thank you, sponsors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glock34shooter Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 This was the best FN match I have shot. The courses were all good and had there own challenges. I will say that I didn't like having to shoot 5 stages the first day. We were rushed by the staff to get though. I understand the reasoning, but we were done by 3pm on Saturday and had nothing to do for 4-5 hour. It would have been better for the competitors shooting Saturday afternoon to just have 3 stages. In the end I enjoyed the match. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmmy1111 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 The reason for 5 stages on one day was so that the stages could be torn down on Saturday and the staff didn't have to go back on Sunday. This also gave staff time to get back and get ready for the banquet. Most of the staff arrived the Saturday the week before to set up the match. They went at the pace the competitors wanted to shoot.

Dan Sierpina Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Competitors should not have had to fire 5 stages in a single day. It should have been 3, 3 and 4 stages daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 As usual great staff and great stages, but I really wish we didn't do the 5/3/2 thing. Day one felt rushed, day 3 seemed out of sync. Also, it would be really nice if we didn't start shooting long range stages at 7am when the targets are not visible, we were done with that rotation by 10:40, it would have been nice to have started an hour later.

Jeff F Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 They jammed 5 stages on our squad last year as well. 4/3/3 was supposed to be the format, they should be thinking of the shooters and what they are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Bam Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) Well, This was my 5th FN USA 3gun Championship and it was done very well. My son and I shot 4 stages first day, 4 second and 2 on Saturday and everything was good. I was the only one on my squad to get rained on Monday but it was all good and funny. This is still the best shooting match that i know of with the format and how they treat the shooters, with a lot of respect and RO's really want the stages to go well for all shooters. Just wish i would have shot couple of stages better myself but hopefully we have next year. To all the complainers, You didnt have to do any setup so i dont understand the issue of shooting 5 stages in a day. Usual 3gun match you shoot 5-7 stages in a day. Also you didnt have to do any resetting at all you could have rested on your laurels the whole time and just used you 180 seconds of shooting really wore you out. Imagine if you had to reset for all the stages then come complain. My son and I shot the USPSA Area 8 Championship on Sunday with 14 stages and that was harder that the 3 days at FN. Howard and staff did a fantastic Job and i appreciate all the time they put in for the planning and running it for this year.

Bruce C I agree it was a great match and one of the better ones out there. The ROs resetting makes it easy for the shooters. I get all of that and like I said I know why they did the five stages, I just didn't care for it. The 5-7 stages a day you are speaking about are on all day formats not on half day formats. Howard and the ROs did an awesome. I throughly enjoyed the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard762 Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 It was possible that some shooters shot 4 bay stages and one other, most shot only 4.. We've done it that way for years. This year we were just smart enough to schedule it that way in the book. It makes a big difference to the ROs to get done that hour and twenty minutes earlier Saturday. It also gives us time to get the results together and checked before the banquet. Even doing the one extra stage thing on Saturday I was there until 5:15 overseeing tear down. It would have helped if some of the bay stages were a little smaller and faster too. We're always learning. On the bright side there were no back-ups on stage 2 like year's past. If you don't understand the sacrifice the staff makes to run a match like this perhaps you should work a few. If you have then you shouldn't complain. Just say thank you. Thanks to all for coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicAJ Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Awesome job by Howard, Linda, Dave and all of the RO's. I shot 5 stages on Thursday afternoon and didn't think it was too big of a deal since we didn't have to reset. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants everyone to do well, and tries to make sure he gives New Jersey a good name. As for Jim's skirt ..
