HGExplosive Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Thanks to all the RO's, and Staff for dealing with us shooters for those couple days. A match and well worth the trip from down south to shoot, and already looking forward to it next year!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvanz Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) As I said on Sunday, I wasn't aware of the costume contest, I overslept and just wore what I woke up in! I am truly sorry for taking the gun away from Jake! I'm sure those competitors that arrived on my stage were quite confused when I read the stage briefing! On another note, I cannot say enough of how much fun this match was to shoot and work. And, my stage was a killer both for the shooter's and the staff. We had reshoots that put us behind but Aron and Jake brought me the best help in the world. Barry Martens stood out in the sun working for us and the guys were setting that Texas Star and watching that steel and we worked through lunch and made up over an hour and a half to get those shooters through. Also, this was the first match that I worked that I as staff was treated to a dedicated RO and score keeper on staff day. What a treat that was and I thank all of those that shot and bullet proofed those stages the day before so those of us working could experience a match like a competitor!

Lilli, Lilli Legs...Lilli Lilli I feel for you on Stage 7. That is a lot of resetting, but at least you had shade all 3 days. Up at two, it was brutal for about 4-5 hours each day, but we had a good system. Thanks to Fourtrax and Riverman for a solid rotation Saturday and Sunday. They even had a little sympathy for me. . I feel for those at the bottom in the afternoon. It had to be brutal. With that being said, we did not have 115 deg. heat indexes like last year.

Corey Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I feel for those at the bottom in the afternoon. It had to be brutal. It got warm around 10 and by noon it was nothing but sun except for under the tents. Had a great time regardless. A well deserved to Jake and Aron and all the Warsaw crew for organizing and setting up things leading up the weekend. Was also very impressed by the Nascar-style Texas star swap we had late Sunday, hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wurm Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 This was only my second big USPSA match, the first being Area 5 this year. I think I am going to be spoiled for any other matches because this one was awesome! I shot Saturday with Squad 14 and we were all having a great time. I am truly thankful for the staff who braved the heat and humidity to put on such a great event. I am in the process of emailing sponsors now to let them know I appreciate their support of such a great match. Thanks again everyone involved!

SLM Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 That star swap was awesome! We lost maybe 2 positions on "pit road"! That should have been on video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Was also very impressed by the Nascar-style Texas star swap we had late Sunday, hahaha. Good thing the same guy made more of the same stars. We borrowed 2 heads off there stars just encase. Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLOCK PILOT Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Jake, What Happened to Alex Gutt Jr Production? subminor Oh man that sucks! Any way to see where he would have finished had he not been sub? He's a good kid and I try and look out for him when I can. It would mean a lot for him to know where he was had the load not been hosed. Thnx JT I would have finished 3rd or 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I did a write-up of my match in my range diary, including some stage attack differences that Ben asked me to do. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=42601&view=findpost&p=1502558 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillD Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 This was a very fun match to shoot. Not so much to work....and I was on an easy, compact, in-the-shade-most-of-the-day stage. After 3 and a half days there, I felt so bad for the guys that put in 7 days and the guys that were working their butts off. But, hey, we all do it, for the sport and for each other. And shooting these stages was a LOT of fun. Lili, Lili, Lili.....gotta love a woman that gift wraps herself Thanks to all the crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 As usual the match was a lot of fun. Thanks to Jake, Aron, and crew for running it! Here is my video for good or bad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcs Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I've shot a lot of big matches. I thought these stages were some of the best I have shot. The stages were great to shoot and presented a challenge without requiring a memory upgrade for last years computer. My only complaint---This match needs to be scheduled when the temp is below 80. How cool would that have been. Jake, it really was an outstanding match! Thanks to all the staff for giving of their time spending 12 hours a day in that heat! Jake your going to have a tough time trying to top this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 My votes would be .... Pulp Fiction ..... probably already been done before The Hangover Blues Brothers Ballad of Ricky Bobby Forrest Gump all of which would make for great costume contests .......

Chris Keen Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) BIG thanks to all the good people who put on this spectacular match. I've been to every one since 2005, and it keeps on getting better every year. I really liked the AC/DC theme you did previously ..... I can't wait to see what you do next year. Congrats to all the winners, I had a great time shooting with squad 23. Here's my humble addition to the videos ......

I'll throw "Smokey and the Bandit" out there. "Smokey and the Bandit" was the theme for the Wabash Valley Open in March. Some of our suggestions matched Chris's. My vote is the Blues Brothers or Hangover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
