Shoot-em-All

Will the Boy Scouts be there for hire to tape and reset stages? If yes I want to hire 4 to cover my taping and re setting due to a medical issue at area 4 last weekend.

Was out there today helping with setup. I think the stages are going to push the "envelope" big bays and wide and Ken has done an excellent job with the stage design. You will have to cover some ground on many stages and I am looking forward to shooting this match! I think "Stage #?" with the swinging plate is going to go down in history as a mind bender, I got a little dizzy when all things were actuated. I am working the bay with the two speed shoots -Thanks Deron! 15 stages and shooting all over for the last six years those who will shoot this match will get more than their $$$ worth. IMHO Jimmy

Me too I went into #6 hoping the first half of the squads will be am-pm-am?? I have not bought a plane ticket because I would like to fly back Tuesday evening. I hope they fix this quickly!! How can you make travel plans not knowing?

Agree Gordan, Tx. 40 minute drive for me.

6-7 months???

We went to a one day 10 stage match for several reasons. If you want to know why PM me. Jimmy

If you are putting on a major match the common thought is to set it up for "C" & "B" shooters. I do not agree with this. A major match should draw in the "GM" & "M" shooters because of the stages and the challenge of those stages. If those folks see your match as one of great and challenging stages it gives the C&B shooters a chance step up beyond a comfort level and see what they can do. Like a golfer with a 36 handicap that person can still play at "Pebble Beach"

Heather Locklear would be on my squad. After that I get to shoot senior next year but still will be an open "C" shooter. It is just a hobby for me but I still get a rush shooting a stage.

38SC - brass cost sucks and yes the " reload ten times can happen" but a match with lost brass you will never see that 10 times! Nor most people who pick it up. For what you pay for a big match + hotel + gas etc. that gun needs to run 100% the 9mm folks will claim that but watch those shooting 9mm major and see how many have issues. I have two top ends for my SVI 38SC for match's and 9mm for playing around and in case the Starline brass runs out!! 38SC shoots more "mellow" in my setup. 9mm + casepro rolled brass & aftec extractor I am OK for a local match. And autocomp vs 3n38

Nationals waitlist tells everyone what day and what time it will open. But I can only type with two fingers so I am behind the power curve with that. But the Gator does have better stages!

I did and was asleep. Sorry not to make it for the 5th year in a row. Going to have to look for other options in October. Just bummed not to get in.

Opened at 4:04 AM full by 6:50AM on a Holiday? And no advance notice to anyone about the exact time it would be open?

I just found the tension screw in the back of my car for a race master holster, the spring I have not found. It is Memorial Day weekend and I have a match next weekend in Arkansas. I hate to overnight one on Tuesday to have it in time for next weekend. I am thinking ace hardware if someone could give me the size/coils etc. I do have a different style/brand holster I could use but I am kind'a fond of this one. Doe's the spring just go over the small shaft of the screw? Looking at I think it does.

Yes Friday was not perfect and I was on the last squad that finished at 7:10 pm. And yes Friday should have run smoother and since this is our second year we are still in a learning curve, but no excuse. I would like to honor you request for 1/2 refund on your match entry for this match, not full refund because I will honor this with my own money. Just PM me on this forum and I will send you a check.. Jimmy

Last shot fired tonight at 7:10pm and I was on that squad! I am whooped and re-whooped. But we had a great squad and the honor of shooting with the Border Patrol guy's who are shooting a 3 gun match Saturday & Sunday. I guess the CowTown Classic was their warm up for that.
