ccoker Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I got a message from Sheldon Carruth who runs the Austin area matches and put on the recent LaRue Multigun. (from a few days ago) Hey Shooters, It is with great sadness and disbelief that I write this email. One of our shooters, Jonathan Taylor, suffered a loss so overwhelming that words cannot describe the pain and suffering. Vance Oliver Taylor, Jonathan's son, died yesterday from injuries sustained in a household accident. To help my good friend cover the cost of funeral and medical expenses I thought we would host a special fundraiser match to help them. Please come to the match and support a fellow shooter. He was one of my RO's on stage 8 at the LaRue Tactical Texas Multigun Championship. He has been a supporter of ALSPPC and he's been a good friend. LaRue Tactical, www.laruetactical.com, has generously donated an OBR 5.56 for a raffle drawing at the match on Saturday, May 28, 2011 at the Best of the West Shooting Range in Liberty Hill, TX. There will be two matches competitors may choose to shoot, 4 stage USPSA pistol match, match fee $40, and a 4 stage 3 gun match match fee $40. Proceeds from the raffle and the match will be donated to Jonathan and April Taylor to help cover the costs associated with their tragic loss. More details about the match to follow, thank you for your help and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us that will not be able to attend the matches on the 28th, is there a way we could participate in the raffle? Also, may I have permission to link this thread in another forum, many of the people in that forum participated in the Tx Multigun Championship last month. mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmccrock Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 For those coming out, gonna be hot, please remember to hydrate. An update from Sheldon: Hey Shooters,I've gotten quite a few emails concerning the raffle. We were unable to secure another means of payment. I checked with another service and we are waiting for validation which takes a few days. My account with paypal is not frozen and should you choose to risk sending funds *DISCREETLY* we shouldn't have a problem. * DISCREETLY means no mention of raffle or firearm.* ... As for the match, we've got two lined up, a USPSA pistol and a 3 gun match. 4 stages each with approximate round counts of 120 for the pistol match, and 75 rifle, 60 pistol and 40 birdshot for the 3 gun. Setup help is greatly needed and starts at 730am Saturday morning. Thank you again for all your support, look forward to shooting with you. Please remember our sponsor, LaRue Tactical for their generous contributions. http://www.laruetactical.com Late for snail mail, email Sheldon for other options.
