Actually it started in March at Wabash Valley Practical Pistol Shooters ( Got snowed, sleeted and rain all in the same day) then the year after that it went to Warsaw in April and then to Atlanta the last 2 years in October. 2 weeks after Bluegrass and 2 weeks before the S/S Nationals. Brent

I like to thank all the people that in there job place them self's in a place that they have to deal with the aftermath of stuff like this. I know some members from this forum are in that line of work. I am sure it would tear a person up. Thanks Brent

From what a couple of friends that worked the Nat. this year I think if there just 2 ROs per stage the ROs would drop after the 2nd day. 12 hours is a long day in hot weather. Good luck getting ROs the next year. Brent

I have a question that came up at the last state match I worked at. There was no chrono at the match. The range master had chronograph his loads at area 5 by Ken Skeeters. Now its a few months later and allot colder. One shooter ask if it wasn't chronographed at this match so is it good? I think the shooter lost his challenge. Some of the smaller state match's don't run a chrono. Brent

Racer377 didn't see how we (Warsaw IN21) got started 5 or 6 years ago. Everything stored in a 12x12 shed that you hit your head when putting things in it. Walls stored in a bay with a roof over it. Load steel and walls on a trailer, unload them, match over, load them and unload them. We used screws at that time too. Some how we talked the club into building a pole barn 30x40. We built a trailer that holds every thing but the walls. They are 2x2 with light snow fence thats more like a fishing net. The walls are the lightest part so we use pickups for that. The trailer holds 20 pp. , 20 usp and 55 or so target stands and sticks and 7 crowbars that are ground out to fit the stakes and Star's, drop turners or what ever you want to put on it. The draw back is the trailer is very heavy and takes a heavy truck to pull it. We use zip ties now. But the Velcro sound like a good idea. Today we hook to trailer take to lower bays( a ways from the barn) unload in bays. Bring walls down in pick up or 2nd trailer. Match is over Load everything on trailer unhook in barn. Unload walls. Done. The guys and gals helping now have no idea how hard it was before the barn and trailer. We have set up many match's with 2 or 3 people for 5 stages and still building good stages. But starting last year we have had a lot of new people from the club that come out and help out in set up and tare down, but tare down has aways been great with the shooters taring it down and helping load it on the trailer. I feel very lucky to have the help that we have now. Last summer with no rain the ground got like concrete so we bought 6" lag bolts and used a drill to spin them in the ground in stead of stakes. Then it started raining and the lag bolts wont hold so back to stakes. It all takes time and money to figure out what works for your club. Make it as easy as you can on the help. And I will tell you that Racer377 lives at least 1 or 1.5 hours from the club and sticks around till its all up. That makes a big difference !!! Brent

But you lied when you said you loved it !!! Now you will see it more..... to bad its not legal

We use them but I don't think no one leave a plate unless out of ammo. But at a outlaw match are club was ask to set up a stage. We have a star with 3" plates and I used it. One guy was picking mags off the ground and finished the star. Then someone told him as I was starting the next shooter "Generally if you have to pick mags off the ground its time to stop" . Brent

I too went from a load master and a pro1000 to a 650 11 or 12 years ago. My only regret is I waited 10 years to get a second 650!!!! Now I have 2 of them!!! Brent

It has been a year since I started this thread and I never dreamed it would still be going. I worked the same match ( Indiana S|S,Pro, Rev. Match) but one year later and the stage I had this year you could go right or left at the start and the same thing happened again. One squad would go one way and the next squad would go the other. With a few exception. Now I think I will check out Gorilla Tactical article. Brent

I run a Golden heating rod so there is power in there anyway so I put a switch and a outlet and wired one outlet hot all the time for the Golden Rod and the other outlet turns on with the switch. The lights are Christmas rope lights that are clear. Tack them up in the back and they light the hole safe up. Brent

Welcome From Warsaw !! Were going to Fort Wayne Sunday if you like to get your feet wet in USPSA. Just shoot what you have till you go open. Brent

Next weekend. Fort Wayne is this weekend.

Was that Jake in is cowboy gear!! Brent

I tried to get you Sunday but just couldn't pull it off!!! Thanks for being a die hard shooter to are club. See you in a couple of weeks. Brent

Thanks , I will try it. Brent

I will tell you how I do it but I am sure there is a better way. Being computer challenge I down load in computer and click send to e-mail and it ask to make smaller for e-mail and I click yes. It start a new e-mail up with the smaller picture in the e-mail. I open the picture and save it and delete the e-mail. Not sure if I can do it in some other programe or not. Brent

It was nothing you or any RO did. It was on the shooter. I am sure he wont do it again!!! Thanks for working the match. Brent

Yes it was. I wasn't there to see it but they told me about it.

As soon as the score keeper uploads the score they are posted on the web site. Classifiers & Activity fees are a 2nd upload. USPSA only post classifiers once a month around the 15th of every month and thats if the activity fee's are paid. Hope that helps. Brent

What are you going to use it for? I use a 6" 686 some times but I would not cut it. USPSA I have a 5" 625 and they are getting hard to buy. Brent

We have done this. Watching guys through there mags out of the minefield so it doesn't land on one. Brent

Welcome from up north in Warsaw. Come on up on the 2nd Sunday in October and shoot USPSA with us. Your user-name looks familiar. You own a nice 550 by chance? Brent

Be careful not to pull the trigger on the 2nd string of the sight picture if your use to dry firing on the first string. Know a guy that did it with a revolver. AD Brent
