Jesse Tischauser Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Man this is sad seeing all these people that don't get to shoot. This match needs to be 5-6 days long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlamoShooter Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Dang ...TY ! I read your post and found a small teer forming in my eye. Your skill of whining exceeds your skill on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LChico Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I have about 25 "bad" email addresses. If you or a friend did not hear from me at all last night, please email your contact information to: LChico@msn.com Do not send me PM's on this forum about the match. Do not contact me on Facebook about this match. Do not send text messages to my phone. And, if the on-line place has a "Chat" feature, I don't do chat. There is one of me & close to 700 of you. If I do not keep all the information in one place (my personal email), trust me that it will get "lost" or forgotten. Thamks!

Fireant Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I just read the whole email(I had stopped after I saw the number and the sorry) and I am #19 on the waiting list. Now I have some hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Linda, Thank you for all your hard work. At #13 on the list, I will need certain brands of Chocolates, special blends of Coffee, and what else to move up??? Seriously, I have hopes I will get in, but I also feel for those that got a good number and will have to drop out so I can shoot. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaoler Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 #5 on the wait list... One of my shootin' buddies is #168 though. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmccrock Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Had a household emergency last night at about T-15 minutes. That kind of crashing noise MUST be checked out when someone is doing loader work outside. Got back to keyboard at T+45 secs, and ended up #161 on wait list. Must be lots of duplicate entries, because the code is like 1091. Thanks to Linda for getting that far down the list before 1:00am. If you are number 75-300 + on the waiting list, I'll have to ask for your patience. I promise to do everything I can to get you into the match, but we are approaching numbers that may be difficult to overcome. A finely crafted polite way of saying "sorry, try again next year".

Les Snyder Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Thanks Linda, Sgt Hampton and AMU for all the work. I knew I hit a good button, but Mike Harris is going to be a pain in the rear until I can beat him again. regards Les Snyder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaShooter Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Hey Brother! Glad to see you will be shooting some 3 gun with us. Myself and a good friend are #25 & #26 on the wait list. Hope to see you in December. Jayson I just read the whole email(I had stopped after I saw the number and the sorry) and I am #19 on the waiting list. Now I have some hope.

Fireant Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Thanks Jayson, I was trying to make VA/MD this year, but just can't swing it. This will be my first big 3 gun match(if I make it in) I live close enough that short notice is no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaShooter Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 As 19 on the list you should be good to go. This will be my 4th FB3G and hopefully I will do better than years past!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieKiller Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Got in at number 138! Itll be my 1st FB3G, really looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latewatch Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Recon215 saved my butt on this one. I was literally asleep at the switch but, thanks to the dual sign ins. My buddy got me in at #280..........A high dollar dinner is definitely on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidwiz Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 In at #204. This will be my second FB3G (I was at the inaugural event). Is anyone traveling from the NJ/Philadelphia area? I'm amazed that Linda was able to process all the applications in that short amount of time. A very good job indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banger Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 #24 on the waiting list. My day just got better. thanks Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyro Shooter Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 SO Echoing Ty's statements . . . It is a bad time of year to shoot in Georgia. The holiday season will be coming up. . Think of the kids and the shinny presents that could by their love (empty brass and dirty guns just don't buy parental love like it used to) You will have to travel with your guns & ammo . . . thinks of the hassles with the TSA. Linda said not to rush those apps back in too soon, trust me its ok, she really did not mean you'll go to the back of the waiting list!! ! Those of you on the waiting list well . . . you know that you probably won't get in, and if you did get in it would be at the last minute, and come on. . Face reality getting a flight & a hotel during the holiday season at the last moment . . . .??? So it would just be best to graciously take your name off the waiting list now. Look work with me people I'm 95 down on the waiting list! And short of a pallet of dark chocolate Ghirardelli and Swiss confections delivered to Linda's door . . . this is my best shot. .

buzzworm Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I got DQ'd before even getting registered. I sat with my trigger finger hovering over the button for 1 1/2 minutes. The countdown was at 09:29:58 when an involuntary twitch of the finger and it was all over. "To Soon" appeared on the screen. For those that made it in, be safe, have fun, get lots of video. Brian, sorry to hear you didn't get in. I was hoping to shoot with you and my other buddy from up there again come December. I had a ball shooting with everyone at BRM3G. Please tell him I said Hey!

buzzworm Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Well I heard that since some of the guys are over seas, that this years match will not be the same as the last. So to all you competitiors that have made it in, if there is a closer match for you, you might want to think about that and just skip this on for this year. Plus I heard it will sleet with howling wind in the morning and at noon will change and be 100+ degree with no wind and 99% humidity by 2:00 PM. The flee and tick infrestation is reaching epidemic preportions. The west nile mosquitos are multiplying at exponetial rates. I just want all you shooters to know that I am concerned about you and you saftey. I humbly submitt to you that I will carry the burden of such drudgery for my fellow shooters. There is a glimmer of hope that things might change if 10 shooters drop out befor the match. Yes I am on the waitng list but I do not want to disclose what position. It would truly be a good thing if no one had to drop out. I know that the only way I get good news is for someone else to have already recieved the bad news so it is bitter/sweet for me to get in now, but hope I still do. To whomever make it possible, I do apprieate it and hope all goes well. Ty, you are good. I was actually moved by it, well something moved, not sure what, I'll have to get back to you on that. Seriously, I wish everyone could get it. Sorry for the folks that didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 TSA is no problemo at Air Itasca. Captain Jim does his own Security Check. Stow the baggage yerself and climb aboard WOOF. We head south at the speed of...well we head south, takes a day or so to get to Benning from here. All seats are or have rights to a sleeper berth. food and beverages available, but no stewardesses onboard. (Mrs. allows a lot of things, but draws the line at others). Cruising altitude is whatever the dirt is at, on this 'flightpath' it varies from sea level to around 3,000 feet. And I have the time blocked out so as long as I get about a week's notice or so, I am good to go. Now mind you I'd prefer about 5 month's notice.

Jim When I went the first time, I "drove" down with 2 people that you know. By "drove" I mean that somehow I wound up doing most of the driving. I wasn't a happy camper. Don't even get me started on the sleeping arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
