Sounds like a shady bunch running this operation to me!!! LOL
You know it!

Were you guys going to send out email confirmations?
Not that our U.S. Postal service would ever lose anything...
Thanks!
Randy
Absolutely Randy, I started emailing confirmations this week. Now that being said, the applications are mailed to our club treasurer, and I collect them from him. I have not collected them for about 3 weeks now, so we have some backlog.
I will see him next Wednesday and should have more confirmations mailed out towards next weekend.
Sorry for the delay in this, there are a few more moving parts in the process than I would like. But it's necessary because of the club's financial requirements.

Match Hotel Information:
Comfort Inn, Lafayette, Indiana
4701 Meijer Court
Lafayette, IN 47905
Group Code: Indiana Multigun Championship
Room rate: $67.99/night, king or 2 queen beds
765-447-3434
I highly recommend getting reservations in sooner rather than later, this is a college town and sometimes random events cause the hotels to fill quickly.
-
Very shortly match hotel information will be posted here, and I will also be emailing individual competitors to notify them that their applications have been received.
Just waiting for all the necessary information to be available.

Scores should be out today Corey!
-
Slight update for those not on my mailing list, setup Saturday will start at 3 now.

Having trouble with the application. Was gonna bring it along this weekend to give to Brett but it wont open. Downloaded the newest version Adobe and still the same thing.
Can you give this one a shot, I am not sure if it's a problem with the copy on the site, people's connections, or what-not. Let me know if the results are the same here.
Thanks Jon!

We're holding our first Multi-Gun match of 2011 on Sunday, March 6th at Wildcat Valley Rifle & Pistol Club near Brookston, IN.
INMG rules apply (attached).
Required (minimum) rounds are 60 Rifle, 60 handgun and 60 shot, and 5 slugs. I recommend bringing more as these are minimum rounds required.
Setup Saturday 3/5
Gates open at 2PM, setup will probably continue until 6PM or so.
It is very important that we have enough people to help out with setup on Saturday and Sunday before the match, so that we can begin on time. So if you are local and can make it out, it would be much appreciated!
Sunday 3/6:
Gates open at 8AM
Shooters meeting at 9:45
Shooting starts at 10AM
Match fee is $20.00* Juniors with paid adult are half price.
*Setup crew and RO's shoot for $10.00

Very Strange Lefty, what's it giving you exactly? Here's a picture of mine, seems to open ok within the browser even (I am running Acrobat X as well)
You may not be able to save the form with data in it, but you should be able to print it after filling it out.
Let me know what's goin on and I will try to help you out!

Tony its "supposed" to get warmer and stay warmer from this coming weekend on out..... but thats what the weather people say.....
I hope they are right Jon!
We have "polar bear" match this Saturday. Its a high of 29 partly cloudy. I'am hope your right Jon, because right now its like 19 degrees lol Many many layers for this weekend. For popper what about packing a bunch of snow under it?
I think it's more about packing chipped ice under the popper, we don't have much of this "snow" that you speak of....
-
Looking forward to it. Does anyone have a way to speed up time? Its 9degrees right now here in Michigan so if we could jsut jump ahead at least 2 monthes that would be great
Yea, you know I scheduled our first regular club multigun match for March 6th, I am thinking that might have been a mistake. I don't mind setting things up/shooting in the cold, but it would be nice to be able to see the ground. It's hard to level poppers on a snowbank.
-
Yup, and I would pop DT Kirbys to the top of that list, if you want a nice big artery clogging meal after or before a long day of shooting. Seriously one of the best joints in town for that.
-
No tactical optics, heavy division??
We are discussing it, let you know as soon as we have a decision.
-
Yes, thank you all for coming out to the match, I hope everyone enjoyed it, especially our newer shooters. We hope to see you all back next season. Attached are the scores.
-
Yup, seems to be working pretty well too. Thanks to kent we have a spare frame made up too.
For those shooting on Sunday, you may want to bring a long sleeve something, one stage has us playing in the dirt.
-
Yup, thanks for posting that Jon!

Have the 3GN points stages been designated yet, or does that not happen until they are all setup?

I didnt have any problems on the 200yd range.... I think I shot maybe 10rds total on that stage to make all the hits.... in 31.67secs, hahaha.
All in all though that was a badass match. Other than my semiauto 1187 turning into a pump gun basically, I had an excellent match. My 'smith is workin on the 1187 right now so it should be good to go by Atlanta's multigun.
Thanks man. You were the second fastest on that stage, Jeff beat you out by .3 seconds.
We also had one Iron shooter (Larry H) clear it in 35.13 seconds, and a few others come close, so they deserve some credit.
Scores will be out soon, I am just verifying everything before I post them.
-
Haha, or push the start time back to 11 so we can get everything setup. One or the other.
Yes, help from local shooters is a must. If we get a good group to help with setup the day before the match and the morning of, at setup time, workers will shoot for free.
-
No, no extra cost at all. We just want to test out the concept, and give everyone a taste of what's to come.
By the way, big thanks to the Dean from the Topton Fish & Game club for the idea, this stage is one that they set up for the Topton 3 man event this year.

On the team event how far is the shotgun box from the handgun box?? My comp on my barrel may make a handgun shooter unhappy! Unless I roll the shotgun 45 degrees the right side up aka hoodrat style.
Not too far, but your targets will be to the extreme left against the berm. If you help the Handgunner out with his targets, I am sure he will forgive you for a little comp blasting...
If however you miss, you may want to buy him a beer later.
Need some help interfacing with hostile club leadership
in General Match Issues

I need some advice. I am serving as a committee chair and match director for Multigun as well as some other sports at my club.
There is a recently formed Safety comittee at the club that is implementing some rules that are going to inhibit my ability to run quality matches, if I will be able to run them at all.
For example:
--A rule is to be added that all rounds must impact the back berm of each practical bay. No rounds may impact the side berm.
--All targets must be placed at a height and orientation such that all rounds must impact the back berm. This means that shotgun targets will be either on the back berm, or not at all. For example knock-downs and poppers. No disinction is being made here between types of ammunition. A shotshell is a rifle round is a pistol round is a paintball.
So my first question. Has anyone ever dealt with a club (inside the United States) that has these rules, or does anyone know of one?
If this is a common practice, then I am done.
Assuming this is abnormal, let's continue. When I said "hostile" in the title, perhaps I should have said "passive-agressive". Some time ago, I was asked if such a ruling would inhibit my ability to run matches. I answered that it would hurt multigun, uspsa, and idpa matches at the club, and that answer was acknowledged and accepted, and that was supposedly the end of it. When I wasn't around to offer any input, the club executive board decided to vote on these new rules. I offer a lot of my time to the club, and my time is valuable. I was not even consulted by the safety committee before this decision was made. I am tempted to walk away from all my involvement in match administration and volunteering and call it a day.
So what can I do here? This doesn't seem right. A shooting sports club that doesn't want to allow and support the shooting sports. Will the NRA get involved here? We are an NRA affiliated range. Do they even care if their organizations don't promote other (non-NRA sponsored) shooting sports?
Any input is appreciated.
