a matt Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) We were one stage back. He is a good guy. Easy going. Congrats to all the winners. Thanks to the Ro's and everyone that helped run the match. It was great. See you at Area 6 Edited February 20, 2012 by a matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus DUX Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Great match with a lot of international and domestic stars participating. 20 GM`s plus few more unclassified IPSC stars. It still puzzles me why IPSC classification is not recognized when those guys shoot in USPSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heckler Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 This really was a tough match, at least for me. I had a blast, but I hope this is my worst match of the year. I had 2 fail to engage, an issue with my *thumb rest [generic]* and slide stop lever cost me big. Also I was not ready for only having 3 minutes to go over the stages. I got to shoot on Max and Blakes squad which really made the experience for me. They are both class acts. When my gun broke Max was right there to offer advice to help me get it fixed and get back in the game. Here are some of the videos: Me and my pitiful match Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E K Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Thanks for posting the vids! The cheesy non-copyrighted free range polka/ska music is way cool! Looks like the theme of the match was US holidays? The all looked fun, but I really like the Twisted Christmas and Loco Cinco de Mayo stages. The Christmas stage was definitely twisted! There was NOTHING festive about it! 3x 1/3 swinger targets at 35 yards! HO HO HO! There was a static target that was even farther! Cinch de Mayo had a 6" plate at 30+ yards that ate my lunch! I'm still licking my wounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmittyFL Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Big thanks to Frank, Manny, Carol, all the staff at USA as well as all the RO's for the weekend. Another great Florida Open, one of the best stage wise in recent memory. Also perfect weather in Florida in February sure doesn't hurt. Great way to kick off the season and remind us all of the practice we need for the year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great way to kick off the season and remind us all of the practice we need for the year! Agree on all of the above, especially the part about practice! If the FL Open does not remind you what the bump on the front of the slide is for (at least for all of us non-Open shooters!) nothing will. Thanks for another great match in Frostproof.

cyburg Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I got an envolope in the mail Saturday from frostproof with $80.00 cash inside with no note. Guess I won a drawing or something. It is going into the 2013 Florida open fund. Again, I aNy to thank everyone that worked, setup, shot or came out to watch, I had a great time.

A few other matches operate like this. I like it. Frank is an amazing guy-old school, but still on the cutting edge. One of the all time greats.

This is arguably the best match in the country. Frank, Manny, RO's, and staff do a great job. There is one area that comes up every year that could make it better for all. Since there is a large participation of international shooters and many are not accustom to pasting and resetting, the others on the squad do all the work. It makes for a very long day. It would be great if there were enough stage staff to do all the pasting and resetting, even if an increased price was needed to offset this.

The stages and staff are 2nd to none. This year was definitely the most difficult match I've ever shot... and I'll definitely be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should fall on the squad members to educate the forign shooters on how matches work in the US. Shot this all but 3 years since it inception. Had the same issue a few times, and with only 1 exception, once they were asked/shown/told how it was done it was a non issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not work. One RO told us this year that they were told international shooters do not have to paste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vluc Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 We were told in advance it would be a challenge. As this was my first year to work and shoot the match, it was a learning experience. With over 50% international this year, I can see that growing leading up to the World Shoot in 2014. I would not like to see domestic involvement suffer due to this unfortunate fact, and there were a fair number of domestic shooters who made no bones about their displeasure. Adding staff or increasing the price to international shooters to cover those extra people to paste would not be a bad notion. But I don't know what is worse, a bunch of young kids who don't know what they are doing trying to help or non-helping shooters. Eithe way can be a cluster. On the brighter side, during the RO shoot, we had the pleasure of a shooter from Uruguay who also happened to be an IPSC delegate from that country. Learned a lot about IPSC that I did not know, and we know he left with a lot more knowledge of USPSA than he had before. He spent a day with a bunch of regular shooters, not AD's or Presidents from USPSA. We discussed RO'ing, classifications, pasting, scoring, stage set-ups (since theirs is more regulated than ours) and a host of issues. I loved it.

Maksim Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I think the best thing for this match would be to add staff. As an RO, the RO coverage was not enough, and we were working for 3 days, with shooters who need more attention (safety wise). Even Nationals, with arguably less difficult stages has much better RO coverage per stage. Lastly, I don't think any safety infractions should be ignored, no matter how "minor" people seem to think they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
