rlillyskygod Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 The match covers a pretty good chunk of terrain. The upper two stages (8 & 9) will require you to HUMP your kit up a fairly good hill (steep, short and untimed of course ) and it is not wagon accessible. The lower 7 stages are wagon/cart accessible and will have vehicle parking withing a hundred yards or so. Hope this helps with your logistical planning. -6- How about golf carts will they make it ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am told "no" golf carts will not make it up these two stages but there are looking into alternate ways to get people there without issues. However, if I am mistaken, Jim/John/Sheldon will correct me here. Edited November 18, 2011 by Ms. Kitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LChico Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Miss Kitty needed an assistant & since I will be in Texas that weekend, I volunteered to help her out (she has certainly bailed me out too many times to count!). I have to leave Saturday & Sunday for a meeting in Dallas, but look forward to seeing many of you at registration & on Friday. I will be nice to work a match where someone else is the boss Linda Chico (L-2035) Columbia SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lthb Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) Ok guys, I know its been a beating waiting on the stages. They are finally DONE! They will be posted as soon as possible on our web site. In the meantime follow this link for a downloadable file. Let me know if it doesn't work. Look for new link below.

Chuck Anderson Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Either I'm reading them wrong, always a possibility or there are some serious typos in those stages. Round counts and guns don't match up. One says slug targets to be engaged with pistol. some have rifle listed but nothing in the description. Also how are the BC plates for pistol scored. One hit? Two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two? I only found a typo in Stage 6 but I am assuming it is either 16 rifle or 16 pistol with the typo being a missing 1 in front of the round count. The round counts are calculated with 2 on paper and 1 on steel so a pistol target would require 1 round per engagement as I read the description.

lthb Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Stages are being fixed right now. Sorry for the mistake. Stage 1 just has the numbers switched and 6 is the only one that needs actual fixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartan-6 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 We've just added a graphic "Range" page that covers how the FB3Gun is arranged on the Spartan complex. Cut/Paste the following into your browser to go straight to that page. fb3gun.com/Range.html A couple of notes: You can 'zoom' into the page for higher resolution. This comes at a cost... dial-up users may see this graphic load very slowly (60 sec). For most connection speeds, it will not be an issue. Hope this page answers some of your questions. See you this week. -6- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Spartan 6, Can you tell me how much running will be required on the stages? I'm concerned more about the distance that needs to be covered. Any steep slopes to walk/run up or Down? I got a bad ankle and I'm trying to decide if I can shoot the match. Walking isn't a problem but running or a twisted ankle could be really bad. Edited November 27, 2011 by Jesse Tischauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan-6 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Jesse, I'll try to give you a clear answer without sounding patronizing. How fast you move (it is a timed competition after all) is up to you. There are NO stages that require you to run any distances. Most of the stages are smooth. There ARE some areas that have rocks (think big flat rocks in a creek bed) that would preclude a wheelchair but a toddle would have no problem walking over them. Just regulate your speed. If you look at the range graphic, you'll see our 300m carbine range towards the northern stages. There's a gravel road that leads up to stages 8 & 9 as it parallels the north side of the carbine range. Where the road makes the 90 degree turn away from the carbine range is where you'll have to take your time. The road/path climbs about 100' over 200' of eroded natural stone. Assuming you carry only your holstered pistol, slung rifle and enoght rounds to complete those stages, you should be able to slowly navigate the hill, especially with members of your squad helping. Once up the hill, you'll be good to go. Just take it slow and steady. (smart ass alert) or you could challenge your squad to carry you in a seated liter. (end alert) Hope you choose to join in the fun. Until then... -6- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
