Thanks for volunteering. Really missed having a IL Sectional to shoot last year. Good to hear. (That you and AJ will be there, not that you DQ'd). On the plus side, you won the Ford Custom firearm. That was a pretty sweet rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the Facebook link but it won't let you view the group without having an account. Not sure what link you are referring to. All links seem active. There isn't a registration link yet. We anticipate registration to be going live early 2017. Right now working on stage design, sponsors, getting ready for registration to go live. Should be making an update to Facebook again soon. Right now, no real new news. Things are progressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 How do you bring guns into Illinois? And do you gotta use ban mags when you compete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmooberry Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Swordfish, You just have to have the firearms unloaded and in a case in your vehicle. Ammo must be stored separate from your case. If you are not an Illinois resident, you do not need to have anything special (i.e. FOID card) to bring a firearm into the state. And that's a negative on ban mags. We're still a kinda-sorta free state! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSandMan491 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The match hotel is the Canton Harvester Inn in Canton, IL, about 30 minutes from the range.

Maximis228 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 No place to input group code. Do you need to call in for discount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSandMan491 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Yes, please call the hotel directly. The direct number to the hotel is 309-357-5820. The number on their website is a reservation service that makes reservations on the hotel's behalf and do not know the match details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviSS Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 What's the cheapest hotel room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSandMan491 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 16 hours ago, LeviSS said: What's the cheapest hotel room? At the hotel posted above, all rooms are the same rate, $139 + tax with match discount. There are other hotels in Canton (30 minutes from range) and a few in Havana itself (5 minutes from range) that may be cheaper. I created the room block there as that is where we're putting the staff up and we wanted to make sure we took care of them, particularly those traveling to help with the match If you need assistance locating another hotel in the area, please don't hesitate to email 2017illinoissectional@gmail.com or send me a PM on here.

TheSandMan491 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Big thanks to TechwearUSA for becoming a stage sponsor for the Sectional. For those that don't have a shooting jersey or other Techwear products, they are fantastic. They've contributed a very nice sponsor package for the match and attendees Edited February 14, 2017 by TheSandMan491 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSandMan491 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Happy to announce DVC Armory as a sponsor. You may have seen their advertisements in Front Sight Magazine.

TheSandMan491 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Wilson Combat has become a Stage Sponsor for the 2017 SNS Casting Illinois USPSA Sectional. They have contributed some competitor items and a lot of their performance parts for a custom build that is being done by another sponsor (who will be announced in a couple days). I can tell you that the build for the match will be nothing short of amazing. Details and announcements in that regard will be coming soon.
