Jesse Tischauser 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- Sounds great . I'm in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Anybody staying at the Comfort Inn that isn't a Choice Privledges member I would be happy to give you my number to use when you check in. It won't get your squat but it should help get me a free room up at RockCastle this fall. I have a LaQuinta Rewards number too if anybody needs it. Muchas Gracias!

Jesse Tischauser Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Anybody know how far we are shooting slugs? I am bringing a new gun and my annual case of slugs is extremely low so I'd rather not shoot it out to 200 yards if we are only shooting 50 at this match. Thanks!

Scout454 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) You guys and gals have a grand one. I ripped some bicep muscles cleaning up after the tree fell on the house and then made it worse falling at FN and I'm going to have to literally, sit this one out. Give 'em hell! Next time!

Looks like 50 yards and less from the stage descriptions. One of the slug stages you are engaging the slug steels with a pistol as well as a slug, the other stage is paper intermixed with birdshot plates, this would indicated also less than 50 yards .

Spartan-6 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 We had a great meeting with your RO's tonight. Great attitudes and tons of experience. It'll be good all the way around. The stages are gonna be fun. Can't wait for y'all to shoot them. Bridgeport Suites still has some rooms for those who got a late start. -6- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
