Bryan 45 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Guys, we're all thinking about how this cushions the blow of a bad stage- but on the same hand it helps when a shooter shoots a short stage well too. There's no ground to gain when a shooters smokes a short stage, picking up 2-3 seconds on a 25 second stage is nothing in total time. But, make it stages points and that 2-3 seconds becomes a nice bonus for the shooter. Now, about those square paper targets..... Kidding! I don't think we should push our luck.

ToysRUs Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) In regards to 2015, isn't Blue Ridge the same time?Why yes it probably is. That doesnt bode well for me making this match next year. :-( Edited September 3, 2014 by ToysRUs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJW Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Guys, we're all thinking about how this cushions the blow of a bad stage- but on the same hand it helps when a shooter shoots a short stage well too. Oh, I absolutely agree. I think the factored scoring with stages worth different points is the best solution when a match has stages of differing lengths and difficulties. The short stages get a bit of a boost and the long stages have their disaster factor bounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babob Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Can someone clarify the laws for transporting firearms through Maryland? I've read them at the NRA's website, but I'm still unclear whether or not I can transport my "assault rifles", shotguns, and handguns through the state.

I've read them at the NRA's website, but I'm still unclear whether or not I can transport my "assault rifles", shotguns, and handguns through the state. Federal law says you can transport under FOPA passing through Maryland. Maryland law says you cannot import a "prohibited" assault long gun. Since I am starting in Maryland with grandfathered rifles, I am not too worried. I would most assuredly encourage people from out of state not to fly through BWI, however. If you are driving, like I said, Fed law is on your side...but don't get pulled over. Edited September 4, 2014 by CJW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LChico Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Anyone know where I can find the squading info? Thought I had it somewhere but must have lost it. Squadding is done via Linda Chico's magic wand, god bless her! I've learned the best way to get a squad together that wasn't spelled out on your original application is to send Linda an email with 10-12 shooters at least two weeks prior to the match. Asking for changes inside two weeks is a huge PIA. Okay, BEFORE you email a squad request to me, please contact the people on your "favorite squad" list to make sure you are shooting the same schedule. Or even if they are registered for the match (The assumption here is that you know these folks well enough to have their email address or phone number). Many of you go on & on about how much you love the half day shooting, with less time spent standing around. But the different schedule thing is not a trivial problem. The AM-PM-AM squads & the PM-AM-PM squads are not even on the range at the same time. The match is FULL & and in order to move someone to the opposite schedule, I need to have someone withdraw from the match or spend hours (emails & phone calls) trying to find someone willing to move. I'm not even going into the details of the trouble to try & move 3 people. Please make sure your travel partners & shooting buddies are on the same schedule.

atomicferret Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Can anyone let me know the "laws of the land" as far as a slung long gun go ?? Muzzle UP or muzzle down ?? Or shooters choice ?? Thank ya kindly from the rules: 4.5.5 In the event of a slung firearm at the start, the sling must be attached to the firearm and the sling must be touching a collar bone on the participant in such a manner that it will support the weight of the firearm without any other assistance. If the gun starts completely empty, I believe it is up to you how you sling it, as long as you follow the above-stated rule.

sbmd Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Your option muzzle up or down, but as soon as you put ammo in it, such as seat a magazine, the 180 rule goes into effect! Edited September 5, 2014 by sbmd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbmd Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Thanks for the responses. I could stay on route 50 through WV, but that's a pain in the ass road. 70 east to New Staunton, take the PA Turnpike to Breezewood, then take 70 south then east toward Hagerstown, then 81 south to Martinsburg....however if you come south out of Breezewood on 70 into Maryland then take 522 to Berkley Springs, you will only be in Maryland for 5 minutes. 522 then takes you to Winchester which is where the match hotel is located. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to honor the requests made on the applications & through email messages that arrive prior to September 7. If you need to be sure I got your request, set your email for a “confirmation of receipt.” I do not have time to send personal acknowledgements to each emailed squad request.

busyhawk Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 What I want to know is: Is there a possibility for the stage staff to shoot the side matches? So many cool guns to shoot and try out. We want to play too! Busyhawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) What I want to know is: Is there a possibility for the stage staff to shoot the side matches? So many cool guns to shoot and try out. We want to play too! Busyhawk Well two years ago, staff had a lot of downtime between sessions and we got to shoot all the side events. Last year I'm not sure we even had time to make it down food most days. It didn't help that I was working the furthest possible stage. I know what we did right two years ago on our stage was simply send off one RO at a time to visit the sights and smell the flowers. With 8 RO's per stage that shouldn't be hard.

Jim Norman Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 One thing that would REALLY Help the staff out is to get us a list of locations and times that the sides are available to be shot and perhaps that we could move to the head of the list so as to get back to work faster.
