I don't really under stand emotional and unprofessional post like this....We where asked a number of times for the release date for the release date for these events, we answered after a lot of hard work by many in and out of the sport!! We don't intend to make your invoice due at registration...I take offence to being label stupid...if your going to post that type of unprofessional garbage don't hide behind a screen name! Sign up tomorrow and we will send out payment invoices later. We are guilty of two things, neither stupid, one adding six outstanding 3 gun matches to the shooting schedule for 2015 and second growing the sport of 3 gun. Hardly a cause for insult. Uh, dude, dial it back a notch. Aaron has his name listed in his profile. He is no more hiding behind a screen name than you are (which is not at all). You've been doing this long enough to know that three gunners are a bunch of whiners about everything. That said, you may know you aren't going to require payment right away but no one else does. Even if we get to wait a month I'm looking at having to come up with a lot of money before the middle of January between this and the ProSeries. Based on the short notice I won't be signing up for as many of the matches as I would have. Whining is one thing but insults are different. There are a bunch of folks putting this deal together and calling "3GN BS and Stupid" is unprofessional. Particularly if my research is correct... That type of frustration could have been sent directly to me and examined. What purpose does it serve in a public forum? I sign every post with email and a phone number. The bottom line is we where closing out deals minutes before our press release...And many folks pleaded for the dates. So we put them out. As always we will work with folks on payment...I have yet to met the "3 Gun Nation Bill Collector" . Charles, You need to NOT take things so personally. Your name wasn’t 3 Gun Nation last time I checked and the “post” didn’t call you or the other staff at 3 Gun Nation stupid. You’re getting a reputation for being a bull in a china closet. I’m almost certain that nobody wants to go head to head with you on the phone or in a personal email pointing out your deficiencies and yet many of us really appreciate 3 Gun Nation and what it’s done for 3 Gun. You’re response here couldn’t help anything as it appeared emotional, irrational, and unprofessional. The post you’re upset about accused 3 Gun Nation of doing a poor job planning and communicating. It also stated that one day notice was stupid. If you’re fair and honest, you’ll realize that most of those things are true. I agree with the message even if it could have been delivered differently. One day notice does seem to indicate poor planning regardless of the reason. You could have posted dates and still had sign up a month later. You mentioned in your post that payment wouldn’t be due immediately. While that’s nice, it wasn’t communicated in the email sent to all of us giving the one day notice, which proves the point that there is/was poor communication. As has already been pointed out, Christmas is coming up and you can see why someone might be frustrated enough by the situation to call it stupid based on the fact there was no communication about when payment is due. Consider it a compliment that people take your matches and getting signed up so seriously and that they are upset and perhaps disappointed at the short notice. I don’t know the circumstances of the poster who offended you, but maybe he works somewhere that doesn’t have internet and one day notice isn’t enough for him to take the day off to be where there’s internet so he can register. He’s likely not incorrect about anything he said and it just goes to show that 3 Gun Nation has some areas where it could improve. I for one will be watching to see how 3 Gun Nation continues to handle situations like this in determining who is professional or unprofessional. I’m surprised that you would waste your time responding to a post like this. All you needed to say in response was “we’ll try to improve next year.” Regardless please know that we all love 3 Gun Nation and that we all appreciate the hard work you guys are doing to grow the sport. Looks like some really good matches coming up in 2015.
