Mark R Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Suggestions for Rockcastle 2013 Computer registration has not worked well for 2 years - give it up or get it together. I could not find any safe areas at the match; none. Either change the rules or get safe areas. Rifle racks made out of scrap 1x2 real flimsy holding 15,000 to 20,000 worth of rifle. Preloading shotguns a good idea? Maybe, it saves time. Might be a good idea to have shotguns pointed in a safe direction with area behind roped off. Saw many people/shooters/wives etc. walking by loaded barrels. Some day in the future we will be talking about the good old days when we preloaded shotguns. Food was served 100feet from restuarant kitchen, is that the best you can do? Chicken Friday 7:45 was bloody and partly cooked. Some squads did not shoot last stage of the day on Friday because of backups and had to shoot it 7AM Saturday, maybe 3 ROs per stage instead of 2 would have helped moved things along? Plastic drop barrels screwed to trees with 2 chinese drywall screws?! I saw one free standing drop barrel collaspe after rifle set in (not thrown in). Right handed TV celebrity shooter started moving to his left with his Taran Tactical $2,500 shotgun at port arms with barrel pointed over the heads of his squad, no DQ. As squad members yelled mussel!?! Rockcastle has potential but is not a 1st class match now. Looks like we have a new Match Director for 2013 !!! Good Luck Blaster.

Match director for any match is a tall order for mere mortals, so I'm sure if he just handled building the safe areas, loading areas, and volunteered as an RO that would be a great help.

The reason for stayin away from moonshine is that I woke up the next morning and was seriuosly dismayed that I had a recollection of possibly going frog giggin with a surpresses M&P .22 that night in the pond on top of the hill. When I came to my senses I rationalized that I could not have possibly shot frogs with a .22 handgun that night.

RH45 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) I don't know what all stages weren't allowed a 5 minute walkthrough, but, our stage was one of them, which was AM2. <snip> We did the best we could, with what we had to work with, and wish we could have afforded to give the shooters more time. You both did a great job getting us through without being pushy about it. you were the Akdal shooters, right? Thank you! Yes, we had Akdals, but, I ran my JP1100, because in practice, at the range Wednesday, my Akdal was choking. I THINK I'm going to try it at the Ozarks match, next week, but, I need to get to the range with it one more time, and if it runs at least 100 rounds without a problem, I'm going to run it.

Aren't you going to have to clean it after 100rds so it won't jam and then start over again! Just kiddin hope it works! Many Thanks to the Rockcastle crew,RO's,Sponors,Staff. Big thanks to FNH for the shotgun! I've never had one that was worth that much without an X-Rail on it Every match seems to have it's issues. I'm sure everyone has experienced them. It takes a lot of effort to put these matches on so you need to just roll with it! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
