I'll be there, actually I'll be there tomorrow morning helping set up.

i must be retarded. Yes Thomas, you are retarded!

Once it hits "0" (assuming it's not a case of bad data and you're really at the top of the list), you are next in line to be offered a slot. When you are offered a lot, a link allowing you to pay for your slot will appear on your USPSA classification record. You should see the # ahead decrease as time goes on, but this won't really start happening in any serious way until after 4/2 which is the duedate for the outstanding slots (those not returned are voided). Thanks Rob. I am still holding at #2 (if this is correct) for the Limited Nats. I would hope some or most slots get handed out before July as I (and I'm sure most others) have to plan vacation time, make reservations for the hotel and car rentals, etc. etc. etc. Tom (Mainus), what is your place on the wait list? Dave

A quick question, when your place in line hits zero what happens? Do you get a call, email or a letter in the mail?

I'm down to #3 from 10.

Does anyone have a guess as to how many make it from the waiting list to the Limited, Production, Rev. Nationals?

Where's the fun in that? Good point but I need my beauty sleep I am #10 on the waiting list for Limited, Production, Rev Nationals

Maybe next time they can make it at 8:00pm est as not to confuse what day it's on and in addition give everyone a chance to get on the list without having to stay up all night???

He dropped the dummy, actually it fell off the table . Correct me if I am wrong Thomas.

Went up to Mesa yesterday to check out the range and found that it's really BIG and roomy. There was a lot of Cowboy action shooting going on, looks like another fun shooting sport but can't imagine getting dressed up in all that gear on a 100 degree day - ouch! Lot's of props all over the place, they must put on an awesome monthly match! Looks like 83 on Thursday, 80 on Friday and Saturday. Perfect weather although jeans may be required when sliding down the fire pole so you don't lose any skin

and what does that have to do with anything Bob?

Don't worry grandpa Dave, we still like you! LOL, your too funny Cam! Wish you would have been there to shoot with us. I was referring to the guy that came in 1st in the class I shot in. The guy is shooting 73% in Limited and almost 75% in Limited-10 but yet shoots "C" in Open, and you can see by his classifiers he messed up his Open classifiers on purpose, what a joke! How unfair to the shooters who worked their a##es off to be at Nationals

I have never seen this subject bought up but would like to ask since I've seen this at Nationals. How do you feel about Sand Baggers?

So my question is if you didn't finish in top 16 but finished first in say "B" or "C" (140th overall), etc. you don't get to visit the table until there is nothing left?

Does anyone know how the awards are given out? Is there a trophy? cash award, etc? I had to leave before attending the awards dinner and was curious how that worked.

Jeff, your just too darn funny I still haven't met anyone that can polish ice cream off like you can and not have a brain freeze Thanks for the offer, I wish I would have known that while I was shooting there in Michigan but my mother and father in law are using the house and will be there for the next month so I figured I would just send it UPS and they can take delivery of it for me so I don't have to mess with it at the airport. I'm trying to talk her into coming and watching but not too sure if it will be successful. She said something about bullets flying everywhere but we'll see. We are planning on being there from the 3rd - 12th so I think I can hang out with the boys for some time but maybe she'll join us and do the drinking for me since I don't drink. I won't need a rental car, I keep a spare in the garage for the vacations, it's cheaper then renting one I can't wait, I've heard lot's of good things about the match. Regarding the competition being fierce, no worries here, I'm out just to have a great time and see what it's like to shoot in Arizona. I want to see what I have to look forward to when I retire in 6yrs, 9 months By the way, how many guys are going to be on your the squad? Dave

Any idea what the round count will be? I need to UPS my ammo out ASAP. Thanks!

Do you really need the practice Jake??? Dave

This should probably be listed in another forum but I will try here. Does anyone have any recommendations for what airline to use when transporting firearms? Are they all firearm friendly?? Thanks!

Thanks for the response. I think I will take the plane out Monday giving me enough time. We have a second (vacation) home in Casa Grande so the wife is use to shopping and loves Scottsdale though my wallet does NOT I look forward to this, I never shot in Arizona before. Know any good places to get a CCW? I have been wanting to do it but could never find a place for the weeks we are there.

Thanks Cam,are you trying to get me shot before the match? Oh, wait a minute, trying to get my slot I'll bet

Chuck, do you ave any idea how long it takes to shoot the 5 stages? I'm trying to get the wife to fly out with me but she doesn't want to sit at the house for 3 days doing nothing while I'm shooting the match. Also, it looks like I will have to take a flight out on Monday since we are shooting on Sunday???? Thanks again.

The match dates are November 9 - 12, can someone clarify if this match is shot over that time or if it's a one day format. Sunday, November 12th, is this the end date of the match? I am trying to get my airline tickets and not sure how this works, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm in, shooter #151 . Tom, I forwarded you the mail from Barb. You are #149 , how many slots are there?. Time to make my plane reservations.... Party time in Casa Grande Good luck to all.
