Charles Bond Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 At the match when they announced the new venue, they also said it would likely be the same weekend in April as always. Unless otherwise mentioned, I would figure on the 4th weekend in April. Thanks. St Augustine will be a great venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgnoyes Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I'm curious about something. How in the WORLD!!!! were they able to make plaques at the range for all the winners with pictures of the recipients shooting the actual match? Did they have that many people running around with cameras photographing everyone? Or were they trying to make guesses as to who was likely to place and hoping it all worked out. I've seen pictures of folks with their plaques; they look great. I just can't imagine how they made it all work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 One guy photographed pretty much all the shooters at Stage 1. Then they only printed the plaques for those still in attendance on Sunday PM. Not too tough, but a real nice touch, if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not forget what Manny Bragg did for a living before he was a full time shooting professional. I do not know but I assume that he was involved in this and had the machines in place to produce these highly personalized awards. He certainly raised the standard for the USPSA Nationals awards and I am glad to hear that took place in our area match as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had been talking about the logistics of it for many months. He had Stephan take everybodys picture on stage 1 or 2. When the winners were identified, they printed the picture and glued it on the plaque. Stephan then posted all the pics on his facebook page that I referenced above. If you're facebook friends with Cliff Walsh, he posted his plaques on there. Jay had tons of novel ideas like that, but was hamstrung a few times by powers that be.

ErichF Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I used to do the same thing in a previous sport. I would take everyone's picture on day one of the event, and have them printed ready to affix to the trophy plaques for the next day at the end of the event. It was always well received and adds a distinguishing aspect to the trophy. Glad to see this applied to this sport as well...I guess great minds do think alike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burningsquirrels Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 My video from the match. Ran 2nd overall in L10, hit factors spelled 9th overall in Production if I had shot that. I was totally not ready to shoot The Chic and Hillbillton Drill and it showed, whoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAZZ Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Was this a 'trophy only match,' or was there a prize table, or money to finishers? Nice plaques! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim/GA Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Payback match with plaques and checks going to the once who placed. There was also a prize table with items from sponsors, etc. It was random draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
