Cherryriver Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 We're looking forward to the 13th Wheelgunner's Revenge at beautiful Bend of the River Conservation Club in Niles, Michigan Sunday, July 17th, 2011. This is the ICORE Central States Regional match. We'll be limiting the number of shooters to about 110 at this time pending some range expansion that might be in the works. The last two years we sold out early, so get it in your sights and get your application in. The app is here. For the time being, we're looking at seven good-sized field courses (as Bend is so famous for) and two classifiers. Another field course is a possibility but we won't know for sure until May. The round count should run into the 200 range. Bend is about ten miles north of South Bend (Indiana) airport and there's hotels in the area. We'll have some more of that support kind of info later in a separate website. We're at work planning the stages and securing the sponsorship ties. If you have any questions on these or any other topics, please e-mail me, Bill Zeller, the match director, at billATcherryriverDOTcom. Past match director JD Cleminshaw is still on hand and still involved, but he's been promoted to ICORE Competition Director, a job anyone who's shot this match lately will tell you is an appropriate position. See you out there in July. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherryriver Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Time to bring this one back to the top and to everyone's attention. We had another planning meeting last night and Danielle tells us that the registrations are running behind compared to last year. The WGR has a proud (recent) history of filling up to the cap of 100 and I'll be needing to get some more folks signing up. Kick back to me if you'd like a registration form sent. JD mailed out some to past participants, too. There's eight field courses and a classifier planned for this year. The round count isn't finalized yet but should be along the lines of 210-220. Setup, stage design, and stage director help can still be used. Much of this is settled but more hands make for lighter work. Staff gets the shirt included with the reduced match fee. Bend of the River Conservation Club is in Niles, Michigan, ten miles north of South Bend, Indiana's Michiana Regional Airport (and I-80/90 Indiana Toll Road US31 exit). There are good motels around the airport; I prefer the Super 8 on the north side off Cleveland Rd. It's barely 15 minutes up US31 to US12 and Mayflower Road. www.borcc.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50GI-Jess Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Greetings Bill, Count me in. My entry form goes out tomorrow. Comming your way with Bubber, Reid, using Mr.Reids midnight express travel agency. Jess Christensen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherryriver Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Entries are finally starting to come in at a better pace for the 13th Wheelgunner's Revenge, July 17th, 2011. So are sponsors. Tom of TK Custom is not only sponsoring, he's offering a free entry to a female competitor. Get back to me if you have an interested person of the female persuasion wanting to shoot on TK's dime. He'll be on site with moonclips on the prize table and a vendor table of his own to display his wares. Entry forms are available for printing yourself at http://www.borcc.org/icore/2011/ICORE%202011%20APPLICATIONREVB.pdf or you can shoot me your postal address and we'll mail you one. For those wishing to pitch in, I'm planning to do stage building on the Thursday, the 14th, and Friday, the 15th. Staff shoot will be Saturday late morning after final paper hanging and tuning, and then Sunday's showtime. In the past, once everyone's done gorging themselves on Bruce Cook's sensational barbeque, most folks are able to hit the road by around 2 or 3-ish, eastern time. We're back to eight field courses and one classifier at the moment, as the planned range construction hasn't happened. Hope to see you down on the range.

Cherryriver Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) I'm pleased to announce that Bruce Warren of East Leroy, Michigan is sponsoring six shooters to the WGR. Bruce is fine revosmith and the proprietor of BC Armory. Be sure to thank him when you see him on the range. And... those of you who still haven't gotten your applications in... only 39 more days left! Bill Edited June 8, 2011 by Cherryriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mainus Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Got two entries coming from Wisconsin, shooting Saturday with the RO's. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Apparently, shooting the IRC has re-stimulated my interest in ICORE! I printed off the application for the WGR today. Sam was just running out the door when I got home, but he seemed interested in going along also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revoman Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Mike I know that Bubber, Roger Reid, Jess Christian, Darren Garity, Steve Thorton and myself are all going. If you want to, ask to be squaded with us. I will probably stay at the Motel 6 #245 in South Bend. I am driving up on Saturday and driving home after the match on Sunday.

Cherryriver Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 I'm aware of a tolerably decent strip mall sports bar on Cleveland Road just east of US 31... is that it? Chicagoans are so fussy about cuisine, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom E Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 No, the Motel 6 is on Business 31 and it looked like there's a Buffalo Wild Wings straight south a bit on Business 31. True gourmet fare, remember I'm escaping from Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubber Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Just my reservations for the Motel 6 in South Bend. There will be three of us. Hopefully one of you guys know the way to the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually if I remember right we just go north up the road we are on, cross over in to Michigan and it is right there. Should be less than 10 miles or maybe even less. Now I know there is only 2 beds in a room so I need to ask who is the 2 that are spooning in the one bed. Smiling Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherryriver Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 As soon as I finish washing my head out with bleach to get rid of these mental images... US31 is that big four-laner going north past the airport. It hooks up with I80/90, the Indiana Toll Road, which cuts the south edge of Michiana Regional. A lot of hotels are on the roads kicking off to the east of 31, including and especially Cleveland Road- which is where the Super 8 is that I'm staying at. Take 31 north to US12, turn left at the bottom of the ramp, go just a little bit west to Mayflower Road, where the gigantic truck stop is. Incidentally, the Diesel Diner there is perfectly good and we do all kinds of non-spooned meetings there. Go north on Mayflower about a half-mile and keep your eyes peeled for the club gate and sign on the left/west side. See you out there. Writing up the stages tomorrow for a match book. The rest of you guys... sign up so it doesn't get so obvious JD's more popular than I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colt Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I will be driving up Sunday morning but I only live 1.5 hours from there.. If your going north on 31 look for US12 turn left and right there is a truck stop turn north about a mile on the left. If you have a cart I would bring it. You park on top and walk down to the range.

Cherryriver Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'm taking the liberty of rolling this one back up to the top because the WGR is only three weeks out and we still have a good twenty slots available. Sign up now, good people! The Bruce Cook barbeque is worth the trip all by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
