Sarge Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 OK here are a few updates. The new pits are on hold. The contractor could not guarantee a mud free grounds by match time. They will be done next year some time so I can get them ready in time for future use. We are going to go with old school registration and payment this one last time. We just can't get everything together fast enough to make all online click. Look for a registration form soon. I'll post it here first. Forms and checks will be mailed/made out to me and my stats guy will get online squadding up and running when appropriate. Carts will be a go but they will be used as shuttles. So there will be no rental. The drivers will be working for tips only. Sponsorship is really coming along nicely. The shooting industry in general is very supportive and the companies involved more directly with USPSA are just awesome. Off the top of my head as of today: Techwear Cheely Custom Gunworks Shooter's Connection Brian Enos Bob Vogel Steve Anderson Stihl Power Equipment CED ZERO NEVCO Wilson Combat LE Wilson Brownells Midway USA Radians Champion Shooters Iosso M-Pro 7 Comp-tac Mannyusa Redding DC Ammo Dawson Precision Gun Goddess Atlanta Arms and Ammo And growing every day!

Sarge Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Rick of Mr BulletFeeder fame just made my day. One of the prizes at the match will be a certificate for a complete MR BulletFeeder! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Talked with Matt Cheely. He will be building one gun this year to be given away in a random drawing. He is leaning towards building a 2013 legal Limited gun. Somebody is going to leave the match a very happy camper thanks to Cheely Custom gunworks!

Sarge Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 Just as a reminder to everybody, all prizes will be by random draw. Winners will get plaques to showcase their accomplishments but the meat and potatoes of the sport, guys like you and me, will reap the rewards of sponsorship. And like I have said all along there will also be raffles for some items. We need to come together and support our troops by buying those raffle tickets!

Sarge Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 For those of you who attended last year please let me know what the staff may have overlooked last year. I am learning something every day but I also want to know from you what we can do better this time around. You can't hurt my feeling because I was not the MD last year but please, if you think it is more appropriate please use PM to let me know what can be changed or improved over last year.

Sarge Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'm banking on it being hot next year just like it was this year. I am working on getting a vendor to sell shaved ice or something along those lines as a cheap way to cool off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobert1 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Here is a suggestion Kevin. Don't let any idiots camp at their stages anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to setup a stage at the top of the rifle range again (the one with the scoring pit) don't have it be a 32rd long course with multiple activators. Took too long to reset, make it a medium course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downrange72 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) I'm hoping to make it. Those hopes were smashed two weeks before the match last year. Edited December 16, 2012 by downrange72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 2nd more water. More shade / pop ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hmmm... Hearing there was not enough water is news to me. I did hear from my wife actually that people were complaining about there not being enough cups for water. We had a whole tank of water on a trailer. Did the jugs run dry or were there not enough jugs to begin with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polizei1 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Definitely shade...this year was brutally hot and miserable, and almost offered no escape from the sun. Kevin, I have two pop-up tents I can bring over and setup for the weekend. I know this is probably impossible, but is there anyway to even the number of stages with the squads? There seemed to be a lot of waiting around for other squads. I think it was roughly a 12 hour long day. Having 100+ shoots on each day is taxing I know, just wish there was a way to make it more efficient. I would also be willing to help out and work a day if needed. Running water or the carts or whatever, just let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 We didnt see much problem with the squad size when we did it. We did wait some for squads to finish but that is typically usual for our squad as every one works on the squad. Well most everyone, we did have to bench a shooter from resetting due to injury lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more challenging a stage can be, the more risk associated with the stage. You would be surprised how a couple of movers can screw up your day.
