sbmd Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 FYI...long range rifle in the woods will be painted orange, steel out in the fields will be black with a yellow 2" backer around it along with a huge dirt berm behind it with the exception of the large IPSC plate but I will have an arrow pointed at it for you.

Bryan 45 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Larry, other match directors and organizations could learn a thing from you about customer service. I appreciate all your efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LChico Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Are the stages that were posted on July 31 the finalized stages? I checked the Linda Chico FNH website and there are no stages posted there. Please hit F5 or refresh because you may be looking at a cached image of the page. Stage links on the website are on the lower right column. http://www.lchico5u.com/FNH3G.html Linda Chico Edited September 1, 2014 by LChico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LChico Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 We are tentatively going to Oct 14-17, 2105 due to the IPSC World Shotgun Championship which several of us will be participating as it conflicts with our established dates. Oct 14 - 17, 2015. Even Larry isn't planning that far ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkCO Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hope you all have a great time. Larry is one of the best Match Directors in the game and does a great job. If I had the time, I would be back to work for him again this year. One of the bucket list matches for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2alphas Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Linda is the Queen of stats, squadding and overall match admin. I personally witnessed her at the ProAm taking care of (no loss of entry fee) shooters that had to bail at the last second and replacing them with new shooters all the while with a helpful smile on her face!

Rob01 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Thanks Jesse. I have been busy and forgot if we had to squad and I didn't or if she squaded us. Shoot Thursday afternoon and not going to be able to get in until Thursday around 10am so was just making sure I didn't miss anything. I am sure we will get an email in the next couple weeks.

45shooter Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I like time plus. Steady and Consistent. You should not be able to crash on a stage and have it not have a major impact on you. It does make long ramge worth more but most matches only have 2 or 3 long range stages. I just dont agree with changing scoring in a match two weeks before. Mike stephens how do you feel about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Dates for a match over a year in advance! Spectacular. Larry and crew put on probably the absolute best run match there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickoli Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Wait, did someone say something about specialty beers at a bar? I'm going to have to find that place. Are there any micro brews in the area? Anyways, glad it is going to points. Time plus makes me nervous. My downfall has always been long range so this way it at least gives me a tiny chance to place decent. Looking forward to my first trip to FNH. I'm sure it won't be my last.

I do appreciate it! Its really hard for me to plan vacations a year (or more) in advance, but thats what work calls for. I'm rowing the same boat, I have to schedule my vacation time in November for the entire upcoming year. Makes attending softball, lacrosse and soccer tournaments for my kids tough doing it that way. Really cuts down on shooting time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJW Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) After careful consideration and consultation with many folks, we have decided to do [factored scoring]. Awesome!

Jim Norman Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 It is my firm belief that 'factored' scoring is a much better way to run a match. This eliminates the wild swings seen when someone smokes a long range stage. We've all seen where a shooter will clean a LR stage that 98% shoot in 140-150 and gain 60-70 seconds, with three LR stages this can easily mean that same shooter can trash several shorter time stages and win. By factoring each stage in order to win, one must be pretty dared consistent. Me I am very consistent, I generally suck straight across the board!

dcloudy777 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Glad to hear the move away from time-plus. Having some short-ish stages, some medium stages and some long stages is good. Having all stages "matter" to the overall outcome of the match is good. Time-plus pretty much makes that impossible. It might be interesting to use the raw data form various matches (everything is computerized these days) determine the rankings using factored stages and time-plus scoring and see how different results would have been. Well, interesting to accountant-types maybe.... numbers and I don't get along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
