Chuck Anderson Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I'm pleased to announce that the Area 1 Championship will be returning to St. George, UT next year. The match dates have been approved and will be May 15-19, 2013. May 15-16 will be the staff match with the 17-19 being the main match. We're still working on the actual schedule but expect it to be different than the past Area 1 matches. Right now we're looking to shoot all three days, half day format. That might change as we get a bit further in the planning process. As in years past we will open the match up to Area 1 residents first till a certain date. After that we will fill the remaining slots with folks who live outside Area 1. I anticipate this match will fill, probably faster than last year. If you're in A1 and you want to have some fun in Utah again, or if you missed last year, make sure you get in early. Registration info will be posted here as well as a dedicated match website. Make sure you get your info in as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Anderson Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Do you have wi-fi or Verizon 3G network at that range ? Hit up the MD, ken@kennelson.com. I know he had a couple wifi hubs on the range this year Edited July 27, 2012 by Chuck Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38SuperDub Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thanks for the early update - was hoping for this in April - hopefully it doesn't interfere with other matches that I like to shoot!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, we've done it for years, dating back to before I was AD. My personal opinion is that the Area match is for the benefit of the area members. Competition from outside helps but I'd rather have all the area members interested get in. Last year was the first year it actually made a difference. And even at that everyone off the wait list was offered a slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thanks for the early update - was hoping for this in April - hopefully it doesn't interfere with other matches that I like to shoot!!! I hope it doesn't. We looked at April again, but with Area 6 and the MG Nats it was a bit tight at the end of the month. We also had a bunch of folks last year that wanted to tour the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. That doesn't open up until early May. We avoided the NRA Show, SS Nats and the Bianchi Cup. It is probably the same weekend as the Midwest Three Gun in MO but there are only so many weekends available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Yeah, perfect timing for the North Rim. It opens 15 May... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38SuperDub Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 That's the match I was afraid of - can't not shoot with my dad...... Maybe MS will be moved to April LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remoandiris Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Ken put on a fantastic match this year. Hopefully I can make it again next year. Having 3 weeks between Area 6 and Area 1 is a big bonus for those of us who would drive to attend both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProGunGuy Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 This years Area 1 was my first Area match and it was great fun. The range was awesome. The people were friendly in St. George. Will probably do the fly into Vegas again and drive to St. George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertl35 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Ken did a fabulous job this year and the stages were a good mix of challenges. This time around, I'll spend some time visiting the National Parks there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndaQuarter Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Any idea as to timeframe for when registration will open to all? Sounds like it will be a must for 2013, I sure hope I can make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Anderson Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Emailed Ken last night. He's tentatively planning to open reg on Sep 15 and guarantee A1 entry till Dec 15. It's still tentative at this point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
