Darqusoull13 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Looks like I'm travel out of country for a match in 2017! Just to confirm, PCC is an official division? I figure it should be since it's after Optics Nat's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Putting this one on the calendar, as I won't be going to CO Nationals this looks like an excellent alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darqusoull13 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Done and done. Area 4 is on the "Redneck Activities" calendar and the guys (and gals?) are in. Stop being a tease and let us know rifle dates so we can schedule another clown car road trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prov1x Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Minimum round count is at 309 including chrono. Stage designs are already in the works and there will be plenty of options, opportunities for shooting on the move and some technical short courses!

mike_pinto Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 We went ahead and opened up registration. I figured the only way to work the bugs out is to have help!! https://practiscore.com/2017-walther-arms-area-4-championship/register If you are volunteering for staff, and we do need you, please email area4@uspsa.org for a special link that will bypass the payment information. You must be a certified RO/CRO. Package will include lodging, shirts, shoot the match for free, all the brass from your stage (split with the other RO's on that stage) and special staff only drawings for awesome stuff.

mike_pinto Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Sign-up is going well. We already have over 50 people signed up, including 15 staff. We could still use 10 more staff and a few extra hands to help out. Please email Area4@uspsa for the staff code. If you are planning on getting your RO certification next year, before the match, please let me know and we can get you in to work it. Thanks!

racegun9 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Are the pit floors still grass/dirt or has anything changed since nationals was held there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 It is a combination of gravel, grass and dirt. I have asked the big guy to not let it rain the week leading up to and during the match, so we will be good to go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) All competitors signed up by 12/31 will be entered into a random drawing for an additional prize as well as a drawing for a free 2018 Area 4 match entry. All competitors already signed up are eligible for this as well. Get those entries in!! The stages are about done, Techwear USA is already working with me on the shirts. Going to be a great one. When you get a chance, thank our Title Sponsor, Walther Arms as well as our Match Sponsors MGM Targets and JP Enterprises. Akai Custom Guns has come through in a big way sponsoring two divisions!! I am getting daily calls about sponsors getting in. This is shaping up to be an incredible match!!

You're coming Oklahoma from Hawaii? Hrmmm, I'm not quite sure how to break this to you but it'll still be hot and humid without the scenery. Haha. Still chaps me that I grew up in Tulsa and never knew about USSA. But then I didn't get into shooting until 5 years after leaving town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
