As Sheldon said, we are in crunch mode working all day to put the best match on for all of you.
We can not wait for all y'all to get here, chow down on LaRueBQ and shoot a great match.
-
Fall to score. 55 should be fine.
-
ROs...
Be at BOTW no later than 7:00 am Saturday morning.
Shooters meeting to commence shortly thereafter.
-
Bring everything you would need to be outdoors for 3 days... because you will be.
BBQ and drinks will be provided, but bring everything you will/think you might need.
Water/Gatorade/etc
Snacks
Eye Pro
Ear Pro
Shemagh/scarf/hat/head cover (with wind it can get crazy dusty)
Sun Screen
Bug Spray
Rain Gear
Trash bags to cover your guns/gear in case of rain.
Chair (you will have downtime)
Good list, but shooters - please don't get too attached to your chair. If I had a dollar for every time I was downrange taping or resetting only to realize the majority of the squad was sitting on it's collective ass - I could retire today. Taping and resetting is a team sport - and with over 400 shooters in this match, all are expected to play.
I'll get off my soapbox now.
Agree 100%.
Chair only to be used if you are waiting on the squad ahead of you.

Sheldon, will there be water out there like last year? I'm not bringing food b/c of that delicious BBQ but I'm wondering about how much water to haul from the truck.

I believe LaRue will have water and sodas available.
Not a bad idea to bring your own as well, but water should be available near the LaRue War Wagon.

I already edited my post before the reply.
I don't know how I scrolled past it three times.
Now I have been publicly Chastised
Thanks, biga9999 for trying to save me.
Back to loading and Packing
No problem. I am 99% sure that Sheldon is kidding.

Marcy and Sheldon asked me to post the following.
Shooters need to make every effort to register Thursday April 19th at the Best of the West shooting range. http://texasshootingrange.com/
Registration will be open from 12:00 pm - 6:00 pm Thursday April 19th.
We have 432 shooters registered!!! We need 99% of you to register Thursday evening.
We will only be able to register so many shooters (not many) Friday morning before the Shooters meeting (which last year was around 7:00 am).
If you absolutely can not register Thursday, registration will open Friday morning at 6:00 am.
We will not run late. We will shoot on time. There are a ton of shooters, and for everyone's enjoyment, we have to run on schedule.
It is the shooter's responsibility to register and be at your stage when it is your squad's turn to shoot.
Thanks everyone, this is going to be a great match.

Are we okay to park a utility vehicle and a 16' trailer at the range for the duration of the weekend?
I would give BOTW a call at 512-355-3486 and verify with them.
Thanks.
-
I'm planning on flying with just my Garand ammo, and maybe slugs. Where's the best spot between Austin and the range for me to pick up some .45 and 12gauge?
DanO
When are you getting in?
http://www.gtdist.com/GTAUSTSHOWROOM.htm should work if they are open.
Other wise there should be some walmart/academy locations between you and there.
-
Reminder. We will be shooting Friday April 20th, Saturday April 21st and Sunday April 22nd. (You will shoot all 3 days)
Registration is open Thursday afternoon April 19th till 6 pm at Best of the West. There will be "LIMITED" registration Friday morning, but please make every effort to register Thursday afternoon as shooting will begin early each morning. (Specific start times and other info will be posted as they become available)

Does anyone know what kind of targets we'll be shooting at with buckshot this year and is 00 the only kind of buckshot we need/is allowed?
Thanks!
Not sure on the type of targets we will be shooting buckshot at, but 00 Buck is what you will need.
There is nothing in the official rules that addresses buck shot size. So should I assume the match director (General Chang) has officially made the ruling that only 00 buck is allowed, and that 000, 1,2,3, or 4 buck is specifically not allowed?
When I asked him what size I needed to buy, he told me 00.
-
Is there really going to be a 60 round pistol course, or are you just messing with us? If there is, I'm gonna need more mags quickly. :\
I believe he is serious.

Awesome! Military weapons and vehicles is my passion second to only 3 gun. I'm looking forward to a weekend of history.
You guys decide to do a tribute to Vietnam next year and I may bring my M151a1 down.
Done...2013 will be Vietnam Era if Bryan brings his 151a1 down.
Where did here this..."Don't reinact scenes from Platoon with Charlie Sheen"?
But, I doubt Charlie Sheen will be there.

Vietnam Division...pistol and shotgun rules same as for this year's WWII Division, and either Light (iron sight AR15 w/16" or 20" barrel) or Heavy (iron sight basic M1A), full size FALs (for the Aussies) and semi-auto M60s allowed at MD's discretion?
I like where this is headed.
-
There is a $5 fee for this. Please help support a great organization.
-
Not sure. Here in Cedar Park (about 30 min away) we had a few rain drops, then nothing.
-
200 rifle, 150 pistol, 75 birdshot, 10 slugs, 10 buckshot
Round count will be less for WWII and Heavy, but bring plenty of extra just in case.
