Vlad Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 We do plan to have tents, iced water and all that stuff to keep people cool. Of course, come prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 The bad news -- the weather will be warm. Prepare -- start hydrating now. Especially if you're working the match. The good news, from the perspective of competitor and staff health as it relates to the weather, is that the match is not full. We expect to have fewer squads than stages -- so for the shooters the match should flow very efficiently, and the staff will get an opportunity for rest breaks.

mikegot38 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Looking forward to the match. Are the stages that were posted as preliminary the final stages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Looking forward to the match. Are the stages that were posted as preliminary the final stages? Yes -- but they are not yet built, so the execution could change slightly..... Given that they were NROI approved, I wouldn't expect major changes, but every once in a while what looks clean on the page, turns out to have an issue in the bay in 3D....

twodownzero Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Let me know if you're short a staff member for any reason. I'm about 4 hours out and could probably be persuaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooter.860 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Well I'm here - shooting at 1pm. Nice looking place with bays close to one another. Holy hot - 94* in the shade.. Edited July 7, 2012 by shooter.860 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegot38 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Darn it was hot. Nice match and ROs. Good stages. Lots of shooters bailed on account of the heat. I am beat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cas Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Everyone did a nice job. Stages were nice, well built and laid out. RO staff did a great job, all in good temperament despite the heat. Many thanks to all who worked hard and suffered (and will do so again tomorrow.) Had the weather been "normal" we would have had a great time. But… it was pretty awful. Far and away the worst match I've ever shot performance wise. I think if you took my two worst matches and added them together they wouldn't equal this one. And the worst may not be over, have to see if I ruined my gun with a squib. I wish I'd stayed home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooter.860 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) It was brutal in that heat, but the match was great. Many thanks to the staff. The club has a great set up, all pits in a straight row. Plenty of parking. I will be back thanks Greg Edited July 8, 2012 by shooter.860 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf219 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I want to thank Vlad, Matt, Nick, George and all of the staff that worked the 2012 Mid/Atlantic Sectional this weekend. The match was alot of fun and had just some awesome stages that were challenging. The match flowed smoothley and although it was like working on the sun, we all still had fun. Thank you everyone who worked, competed and made this match a good time! H! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanc Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Fun match, many thanks to the staff. weather was rough and i absolutely tanked at least 2 stages, but it was a learning experience and I had a good time. club has a very nice setup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'm glad folks had fun despite the temperatures previously only recorded on Venus. All the credit for anything you enjoyed goes to my RO's (who were also the build crew). I can't thank them enough for working in the sun for 3 days just cause I asked them. Blame for anything you didn't enjoy (weather included) is on me. Also anyone who has ever shot at CJ knows that when the weather report says 101F in the shade that has little to do with the actual temperature on the range as there is no shade, anywhere but the tents we put up.
