webber1 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I will be there shooting production. I hope the rain holds off for us. Looking forward to a great match. The guys at NTPS have their act together and run some great matches. See everyone Saturday. Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tewlman Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Well, the rain didn't hold off! It poured Saturday, all day. Sunday was better with rain off and on. Still yet it was a great match, Thanks to Lance and the Ro's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoonie Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Thanks Lance, Linda, and all the match RO's! Great match, excellent stages, and nice, friendly people. In spite of the rain , my squad had an enjoyable match. Very fortunate that the range drains water real well! We shot stage 10 on Saturday and were disapointed to have it thrown out due to safety and scheduling problems, it was the most interesting and fun stage I've ever had the pleasure to shoot! Lance's promise to bring back a similiar stage next year is sure to get shooters to return. Try to imagine running through the woods, ducking limbs, jumping over logs, crossing a bridge and shooting at targets in creeks, behind trees, outhouses, log piles and deadfalls. Saving the best for last was the down the mountain slider that zipped down when activated only to jump half way back up the hill before fully hiding from view making it a shoot (and pray) target. Thanks again, hope to be back next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyFL Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 Ditto what Jim said. Great match, great prize table, great RO's and staff, great stages, awesome range................... crappy weather. Hopefully Lance and crew can straighten that out next year because I will most certainly be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airedale Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Lance and crew put on a great shoot. I expect in a few days my gear will dry out. Thanks for the hard work, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyGun Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Had a great time there as well. If I could just get those 4 Mikes back I'd be alot happier. Met alot of nice guys. Nice to meet Chris P, Roger K, and fun shooting with Randee, Dundee and rest of the guys... Cya Next Year, TGun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFoley Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 These guys and gals are a class act. They set the example on match flow, design, and what a great prize table, every year. Their RO's are the best anywhere. This may be the best things any Kentucky Wildcat ever said about a Tennessee Volunteer, but I mean them. Hospitality like no other club in the country. Thanks NTPS for another great year. Wish I could say the same for my scores, but still smiling. Oh, I guess the rain deserves mention, I saw some four wheeling, a stuck government vehicle, and some nasty gear, but not once was there an attempted mudwrestling.

m.e.t. Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Have to say it was one of the best matches I have ever been to. Great bunch of RO's. And I mean great. Imagine shooting until 6pm the night before and resetting your targets in a downpour the next AM. Then do it again on Sunday. Great bunch of folks.

RKooi Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I was squadded with Lynn and he didn't tell me until it was too late! It was great to see Mr. Jones (thankfully he kept his knives pocketed ) and meet and talk with Sterling and Tommy. I shot Friday so I can't blame the weather for my poor scores, better think of something else... Thanks to Lance, Berry and all the RO's and crew at NTPS.

Matthew_Mink Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 p. s. there is a steel plate behind the pepper popper NOW you tell me . . . Yeah no kidding. Me and you and you and about 40 other people. It was a fun match, fun squad. Congratz to Greg Wilson for his first major win in Production. He shot clean and consistent, and the rest of us, well.... didn't. I don't feel too bad, we sucked together as a squad. But we had a good time. For me, the match was over after the first 2 stages. Zeroed the classifier (down 120 points), had a death jam due to a bad magazine spring on the next stage which was a big field course that I probably would have won (down another 60). Wasn't too much hope after that. Can't really recover after going down 180 points or so and still having 7 more stages to shoot. I'll blame it on the rain.

lynn jones Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 in my own defense..i did tell the minkman's squad but the buzzer went off.... cy forgot twice, roger is just knife phobic. and matt was shooting a new gun just tell it to the dummy. err the blue and black dummy. lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 What steel plate???? Oh that's why I had a miss on that stage This was one of the best matches I have shot. It was 250+ rounds and 10 stages. That's a major match by any definition. The stage thrown out was really wild. Weather was a challenge but all had to endure. The bugs freaked me out. VERY BIG European Hornets and Red Wasps were very large by my Midwest standards. Snakes I guess are even larger but we encountered none so no snake dispatching was required. Shot with new friends and bumped into old ones. DVC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajarrel Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Next year I'll bring my scuba gear. Maybe I'll be able to see that plate behind the popper. Great match with great RO's. No one griping about anything but the pasters. But you can't blame them, they weren't designed for amphibious duty!!!! I'll be back next year. I still want to run through the woods shooting targets dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
