chbrow10 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Lynn, I think that the orange wall is actually that orange snow fencing that is used as soft cover so often in matches. That might be one of spanky's stages, you could ask him... Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrClean Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Looks like maybe those two lighter colored walls are soft-cover. ?? Whoops.... I shoulda hit refresh before I replied. Edited May 2, 2011 by MrClean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Gaines Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I keep hearing on the news about the mississippi river overflowing and the terrible tornados that hit that general area. How are you guys holding up? Also, John H. got your message and will call you today. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwana Six-Gun Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Tornados missed us here and we are far enough from the Mississippi not to flood. Come on down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heiter Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 We have the Pearl River that runs right by and behind our range but, oddly enough, the Pearl seems to be dropping. I looked when I crossed over last night and the high water mark of a few days ago was two or three feet above the current water level. I also wanted to let everyone know that we'll be holding a crawfish boil at the range under our new pavilion on Saturday night. All Mississippi Classic competitors and guests are invited to attend. No cover, just free crawfish and beer as long as they last. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWillie Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I know it's a little late to plan a trip, but are there any slots left for the mstch? I'm considering traveling from the Ft. Benning area, and unitl this point wasn't sure of my work schedule, but it looks like my weekend is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_M Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 The match is full, but there is a waiting list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwana Six-Gun Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I am pretty sure there are no spaces left, but try contacting John (King of match Directors) Heiter at (601) 925-5372 or msclassic@teammagnolia.com. He can tell you whether or not you have a chance to get in the match. Good Luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Heiter Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hi Guys, Just wanted to give a quick update. We just finished up our first full day of setup activities and things could not have gone better. We had loads of great help and we're way ahead of schedule. Nine out of ten stages are set up so tomorrow should be an easy day which I could use because I still haven't loaded any bullets for the match. I'm confident I'll be somewhere between sub-minor and super-major but I'm not too worried about it. I've had a few folks asking if there will be problems getting to or back from the range. I'm no flood expert, but so far they haven't closed the Mississippi river to barge traffic in the Vicksburg area and my redneck math tells me that means a 25-30 foot tall barge can still pass safely under the bottom of the bridge so I don't think we're in any danger of I-20 being closed. The Pearl river that runs close behind the range is well below flood stage and should not be a factor at all unless you plan to stop to fish. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone Friday night at registration. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGentry Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Cannot wait to get to this match. Between the Classic and Gator it's my favorite time to shoot!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chbrow10 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 To amend Lynn's post, On Friday, there is a 60% chance of puddled grass and mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingchef Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Crossed the mississippi at vicksburg, either the river is really wide or lousiana will have a new border. Wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwana Six-Gun Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 We are smoking for this week-end. Stages are all up and we will put up targets in the AM to check for final tweaking and then the RO's shoot. John is nervous because everything is going so smooth. I keep telling him not to worry. We may get wet a little tomorrow, but the main match is going to be clear and mid 70's. We may even get lucky tomorrow, since it all supposed to be scattered T-storms.
