Ms. Kitty Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I would love to make this one...airport times could be tight. Any idea of start time on Friday and last shot fired on Sunday? I'm assuming prize table can be proxied. The est. time for prize table on Sunday is 3:00 pm. You can have a proxy, we will just need to know name, (permission slip type of deal) for whom you are picking up the prize...Some of you can be sneaky and may try to get to the table twice Just teasing....Short answer is yes... Schedule for the match to be posted by the Powers that Be. I will try my best to get that infor out asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtielke Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 $300? Why the $100 hike? Because we will pay it:( I'm guessing switching from an Army supported match there are costs like range rental to be made up. The last 4 major 3-Gun matches I signed up for were $295, $295, $255, and $250 so that price isn't out of line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Bond Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Because we will pay it:( The Ft Benning match was put on based on a huge pool of volunteer labor that is just not going to happen at this new location. The main volunteers gave up leave to host a match for us and the match was by regulaton prohibited from making a dime. Now these guys who are still giving up well deserved R and R to produce the match are having to pay for a range, props, equipment. And let us not forget that this is a charity match for those brave men and women who stand out in the heat and cold so we do not have to do so. But I guess I am just being silly because I know I would show up at double the price if they would just take it back to Ft Benning since the cause is worth even more than that and at least I had rather give my money for this cause than pay it to the airline.

mmchambers06 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Fair enough. They're obviously free to charge whatever, but $320 for a match fee + t-shirt is over the line for a lot of would-be shooters. If it becomes the norm matches won't fill. Anyway, I'll see you guys there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooty Puff Sr. Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) And if the matches don't fill you will see a swing back to smaller local events that charge $50 or less. I see them quite frequently here in Texas. Hopefully other shooters around the country get the opportunity to shoot these smaller more intimate matches as well, they really are good.

Chuck Anderson Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Fair enough. They're obviously free to charge whatever, but $320 for a match fee + t-shirt is over the line for a lot of would-be shooters. If it becomes the norm matches won't fill. Anyway, I'll see you guys there. I had this conversation with someone else just a week ago. The match entry fee really is a small portion of the overall event cost. For me it's airfare, hotel, rental car, ammo, shipping gear, food etc. A bump of $100.00 or even double the cost really doesn't make a dent for me. Of course I shoot some other matches like Bianchi that are just stupid expensive. Like paying $400.00 plus for a 4 stage pistol match. Ft. Benning previously was able to charge what it could because of the location, cost to pay the support folks (not much), fact they couldn't make a profit, knowledge the match would fill and dozens of other little money savers the Army helped out with. Now we're moving to a private facility, that requires leave and travel for all the match staff. Uncertainty about how the match will be attended, rental or purchase fees for many of those same things we used from the Army. Ft. Benning was a really unique match. Hopefully this will be every bit the quality of that match, but it's not going to be the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4045 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I don't really care about cost. It's within driving distance. Should be a good match. I would still go at double the price. I would bet it will still sell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody that's had to put a match like this on the ground and run it can tell you there is no end to the cost and the time involved. I appreciate the time and financial committment this represents for the AMU Team and their families. I don't know how they plan to get the manpower for the setup, operations and tear-down, but I bet they can use some volunteers. I've really enjoyed RO'ing this match the last two years and hope to make it again in Dec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
