The Blade Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Any idea when they would announce the location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyB Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I saw the comment in the Pistol Australia bulletin as well. Has anyone else heard anything?At least it gives me more time to save up for the next one!Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Every 4 years is news to Damien. He is confirming with Dennis, but thinks its on for 2018 still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 2018 is fine, but where is important. Years ago someone from either Australia or NZ tried to get the NRA to announce the next WAPC at the end of a WAPC, pretty much how everyone else does it. Just never seems to happen. Most places would need 2 years to ensure that they can get all the crap together for a match, helps people plan and save for travel. Get a fecking calendar together guys.

DWFAN Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Lake Charles and Columbia are the only 2 ranges with more than 1 mover. (Lake Charles is a temporary mover I think) Pioneer may have a 2nd next year, but we still need 2 more barricade lanes, and some rework on the plates. AMU only has 1 mover, but 4 positions everywhere else I believe. Prado California, Frostproof, and Peacemaker were mentioned as possibilities since they may have the basic ranges needed, and or a mover already. Those ranges would need to get moving ASAP to make improvements needed, and not turn up like the Kentucky ClusterF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPGMD Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I am pretty sure Frank only has normal plate racks in Frostproof, but they do have a mover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 You can do a WAPC on one mover. If shot over three days you can run 180 people, as long as there is no messing about by the competitors. Be aware that the WAPC is not due to be held in the US until 2020 or 2022. So even the NRA has enough time to get a range together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyB Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Was any information forthcoming about potential locations for 2018?Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfieldshooter Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 There was talk in 2014 of the event going to a 4 yr cycle but those guys are not around anymore. The tradition was to announce the next venue ASAP after the last one. To be honest; I don't think the NRA have a great interest in the WAPC anymore.

DWFAN Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Nothing was formally discussed, but there were people urging George to put in to host worlds the week after the Cup next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWFAN Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 This week/coming weekend was the suggestion to minimize extra travel time for the internationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffl Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 One of the ranges not suggested would be Hogue Range in SLO. They have the space and I know where they can get more equip. They have 3 turner sets they have used for IRC and they have the beginnings of a mover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RippinSVT Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I think Lake Charles would be awesome, although logistically it could be tough in the Springtime. I'm of the opinion that it should be held in the Fall to make it distinctively separate from Bianchi and Crawfish Cups. I'm in the process of trying to get AP set up at the World Shooting and Recreation Complex in Sparta, IL. It's 2.5hrs east of Columbia near where I live. They have on-site restaurants and shops, HUGE parking lots, RV hookup and camping, close hotels, 4000acres of shooting ranges (mostly shotgun, 1.7 miles of trap lines alone, they host the Grand American), 12 large pistol bays with high berms, many plate racks, and room for Mover and Practical on the unused side of the main 1200ft berm. It is a cheap flight into Mid-America Airport from many locations, which is 30 minutes north of the range. If I can get something going with a couple good movers it could be viable in late 2018.

Tough to get the internationals to make 2 trips over in a year. Both matches would suffer from shooters having to pick one or the other. Same as last years Cup. Quite a few chose NZ over Columbia. Not that I blame them. Sparta would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfieldshooter Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 If the two warring factions in Australia don't shoot themselves in the foot again I would like to see Australia get it. Maybe Brisbane.( Sorry Craig not Blacktown.) Easy to fly into and brilliant facilities. Direct flights from Dallas and heaps of accommodation. If it has to be the US, the week before Bianchi would be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has to be the US, the week before Bianchi would be my choice. The problem rumored with hosting WAPC before Bianchi is that NRA Annual Meetings are May 19-22 (in Chicago of all places) Bianchi will probably be May 22-25 unless they stray from the typical dates. So we'd be looking at May 12-13 as the next earlier available weekend, which is Mothers day if that matters. Scratch the Ag match, run WAPC May 22-23, Bianchi May 24-27. Both in Columbia. Depending on turn out, shooting both in approximately 4-5 days might be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffl Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 you are forgetting something. NRA does not host WAPC so the NRA AM would not affect anyone but those sponsored shooters who have to do appearances. dcs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris1911 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hope we find out soon. Might need a bit of time for the National team trials/selection process? I will go anywhere. I am often told to do just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
