ChuckS Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi there, I am going to be visiting relatives and friends in Il this weekend and I got invited to the State IDPA match in Havana. Is anybody from here going to that match and has anybody have any previous experience with the matches there? Just wondering what to expect.

KentG Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I have shot in a couple matches there and they always put on a good show. Nice shoot house in the Devils hole and always a mover stage right before. I was wanting to go but it fell thru and last year I went by myself. Stayed at a little hotel called the red lion or such. Its about the only place in town and its close. Nothing fancy but fairly clean. Last year they shot thru lunch on a Sunday match so the road warriers could get going, you might want to make arrangements for a snak or somthing. Go and you will have a good time. Practice some standards and some week hand stuff. An El Prez will probably be in some form as well. I just have too much on my plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Nesbitt Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 We're going. We've never been there before but some of our local shooters say it is a good match. Nice to hear that the Red Lion is at least "fairly clean" Bill Nesbitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted May 11, 2004 Author Share Posted May 11, 2004 My friend has us in the "Sycamore Motor Lodge". He says "it's OK". I wonder what that means? He did point out that we should get there "before the lady goes to bed". Ah, small town USA. See ya all there. Later, chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I shot the Midwest Fall Regional there back in 2001. From what I remember it was a pretty well run match. Not much life around that area though, and more than once on the way there I thought I was driving through Klan territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably were, but that could be said for just about any piece of ground within the continental USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
