springy Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I am going on record....we will NOT be using the count down clock for registration, we will NOT require you to shoot previous matches to sign up however we will ask that you be prepared as the match application will be available on 1 May 2012. I must say, that is OUTSTANDINGLY EXCELLENT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) I am fortunate enough to have two strong hands just like Accurate Ron. So bring that trash on Larry! Weak hand shotty and rife too. Edited March 7, 2012 by Jesse Tischauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard762 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) The application for FULL TIME STAFF only is now available. I am the AMD and I will be handling the staffing for Larry. If you want a staff application email me at hkbrt@verizon.net The staff package is incredible: - We do collect the $285 entry fee, but at the end of the match we refund the full amount if you fulfill your obligation. - You are guaranteed a slot in the match (they will be at a premium)and you shoot the whole match for prizes. We had a $300,00 prize table last year (over 100 guns)and we intend to do better this year. - We pay half hotel room for the entire time, so if you share a room it's free. Tuesday through Saturday nights. - Food money for the match days. - Per diem on the Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday before if you're there to help set up. - First class staff appreciation dinner Friday night - An unbelievable staff drawing. Last year we gave away a SCAR, an AR, 2 FN pistols, and a custom SBR upper, in addition to a prize for every member of staff ranging from $100 to $300 in value. We had a fantastic staff last year. Most of those guys and gals will be returning and we are adding even more. We are making several changes to the staff shooting and working schedules so everyone will have a more relaxed, enjoyable, and competitive shooting and working experience. If you've never worked for Larry and/or I you don't know how well staff can be treated. We are both driven type A personalites and we aim to run the best match in the country. For both our shooters and staff. Why not be both? We will need people of all skill levels from RMs and CROs to ROs and people to help with scoresheets, and resetting. We want the best staff available, but don't think that you have nothing to contribute. What we're asking for from you: - Staff will be needed from 7:00am Wednesday, September 19th until noon on Sunday, September 23rd. - The majority of staff will shoot in a single day on Wednesday the 18th of September. They will then work Thursday, Friday, and Saturday while the competitors shoot. - Saturday PM wil be the banquet with prize distribution. - Sunday AM we'll tear the match down and load it into the FNH trailers. Please keep in mind this early application is for FULL TIME STAFF only. Staff applicants who do not show up to work, but show up to shoot will be removed from the match and their entry will not be refunded. Don't try to game this process. Larry and I have been gaming longer than most of you. Competitor-only Applications will be posted sometime in April and will be accepted beginning May 1st.

Onagoth Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Is there possibly going to be registration online or payment online. Or at least can I call in with a credit card #? We're coming from out of country and Money Orders really suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glock3422 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 "We do collect the $285 entry fee" $285? I don't know if it is a deal breaker, but wow! Match fee, hotel room for the duration, food, gas, ammo, damn. What has gone up in price 14% this year? My pay didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm right there with you on how it sucks, but as expensive as it is to put on a match of this size, I can't blame MDs for raising the match fee when they fill near instantly. Edited to add- This was a great match and is still on the "must shoot" list even after the increase. Hell, the chicken and dumplins alone are worth going.

Howard762 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 It is in line with the other big multiguns, and it will be an exceptional value for sure. USPSA Nationals have been in that ball park for years, and in comparison we offer a much greater prize table and 3 times the guns to shoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Norman Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Larry, I understand that the apps will go up in April and will be accepted only after May 1. How are they to be time stamped?

jdknotts1 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 OK, so I hear you guys saying you want weak hand and strong hand shooting in the 2012 FNH USA match.....I can do that! Why not let the targets dictate the shot? If guys want to shoot support side shotgun/pistol/rifle, let them. Can't stand mandatory support shooting. And btw, I don't have a "weak" side...

Chuck Anderson Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 "We do collect the $285 entry fee" $285? I don't know if it is a deal breaker, but wow! Match fee, hotel room for the duration, food, gas, ammo, damn. What has gone up in price 14% this year? My pay didn't. I can guarantee you that Larry is not lining his pockets off of this match. I'll bet every cent of that, and probably significantly more than what the match is bringing in will be given back to the competitors. If I had to guess aobut the price increase he's probably adding staff and better off range facilities (can't really make the range any better, it's pretty awesome already). I am glad for one thing. MD's really could gouge competitors. It would be very easy to just keep raising match entry fees until the market wouldn't bear them. As it is this match will fill in the first week without a problem. I'm betting it would still fill at $400.00 or even $500.00. If I could make it this year I'd pay the $285 and be happy to do it, knowing it will be money well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard762 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 We are definitely adding more staff, and staff is expensive. We had a fantastic crew last year but we were a little thin in spots. I've already had a ton of new guys contact me, and I'm going to keep hiring until Larry cuts me off. How much staff is too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
