sono Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 It's going to be a good match. They have cabins on site and a hotel 4 miles down the road. If The quality of monthly match is any indication of how the first major will be...... All I can say is get ready for fast and fun stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRider Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 What are the rules/scoring for this match? Hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim/GA Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I am definitely doing this one as well. Which day you shooting Jimmy? Need to check on the deal with the cabins. Be good to have another match this summer after the Tarheel earlier in June. Been watching since you talked about a June match Dustin, glad this one is up and running! Look forward to it. Enjoyed squadding with you all at SC. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjimmy57 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm probably gonna try to shoot saturday. That way I can come watch sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsydlooknin75 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I talked to Jeremy at Steel City this past month. Sounds like a hell of a match and I'm upset that I'm gonna miss it but I just have so much going on right now with moving and such that I can't make it. It would have been fun chasing folks around with a timer like I normally do. Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim/GA Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm probably gonna try to shoot saturday. That way I can come watch sunday. Yeah, I am thinking that now as well. I had thought about going to South River on Sat. to watch the 3 gun nation match and then shoot Sun. but that is further away than I was thinking.

WildWillie Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 We are going over the rules one more time before we publish, but expect everything to be along the same lines as what you are seeing at most of the big calendar matches. No suprises or weird changes to the norm for equipment or scoring. All paper will require either one A or B hit, or two hits anywhere to be neutralized. A select number of rifle targets will be pushed out between 325-375 yds, but target types and distance will be realistic even for shooters not using magnified optics. We will have rules/scoring posted by mid-day Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that you offer golf carts for rent, will you be able to drive (vehicles)to the stages or is there central parking and walking? How far apart are the stages. These questions may seem silly, but it will make a difference in how to load out gear. Thanks, Hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sono Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hurley I think you can shoot out of a car with minimal carrying of stuff. Dustin can tell you more but if you need a cart I may have mine there Sat. while I'm in Atl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildWillie Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) With the exception of two rifle stages, everything will be in the same general area, easily within walking distance. Also, there will be enough room that if you feel you need to bring a vehicle up closer to a bay, you will be able to. For the two rifle stages not in walking distance, we will have golf carts or John Deer Gators that the squad going to that stage can use to get there, if they don't want to load up their vehicle and drive. Distance to those stages is about 3/4 mile. Also, I promised rules by today. We basically looked at what 3GN is using for their Pro Series events, and adjusted to fit the TF Dagger Match. Mainly, we adjusted target types, because we will not be using the new square targets, and adjusted some scoring penalties. Failure to neutralize (only one shot on IPSC targets, not in A or B zone) is 2.5secs, same as 3GN Pro Series. Unhit targets are 5secs, and Failure to Engage is 5secs. We we be enforcing a 10sec penalty for any unhit rifle steel, to ensure no targets are purposely skipped or shot "towards". Stage and overall results are simply time plus penalties. Attached are the rules/scoring. Please read through, although they obviously are 90% taken from what 3GN has posted, there ARE some changes. Let me know if you have any questions or something is unclear or leaves room for opinion/debate.

usp45ss Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Are there any Sunday slots left for this one? Thinking of making the drive down after hitting the 3GN Pro on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildWillie Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yes there are still some slots available for Sunday, and plenty for Saturday. Sorry for delay with this response, please feel free to contact me with any other questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWillie Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 I have received a few inquires about RO's. If you volunteer to RO on the day you are not shooting, you will receive half off your entry fee, and get a bunk at no cost. If you have already registered and wish to RO, let me know and I will refund that portion of the entry fee when you show up for registration. First come, first serve for RO requirements. Once we have the numbers we need, plus some back-ups, I will post on here. Please let me know your RO experience if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 What is the closest major airport? I'll be flying in from California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildWillie Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 What is the closest major airport? I'll be flying in from California. There is an airport in Dothan, AL and in Columbus, GA. I wouldn't call those major, so let me know if you can't find reasonably priced flights into there. ATL is about 175 miles north of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildWillie Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 Cabins are sold out at this point! I apologize if you have an app in the mail with a cabin request. Days Inn in Blakely, GA is 4 miles away from the facility. It's an older Days Inn, but they should have plenty of rooms. Also, this week we have some more sponsors on board for the match. C3 Defense, Stag Arms, Kel-Tec, Montana Gold, Atlanta Arms, and JAB's Extreme Steel Targets. Looks like it's turning out to be a good prize table with everything from guns to ammo, and don't forget about the cash payback. I am starting to piece together squads, so now is the time to get a hold of me if you are on the fence about this match. I will do what I can to get you squadded according to your preferences, but after this week I will simply have to start plugging names in open squads if entries continue to arrive. Stages will be posted by this weekend. More to follow, I look forward to seeing everyone out here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 So looks like ATL is the closest airport with a direct flight. Everything has ridiculous layovers so its just easier and faster to drive from ATL. Also, did I miss a round count somewhere? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
