AFH Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 I found an interesting place to stay for the match which is about 45 minutes away and looks available. It's about the same distance as Dothan, AL. I don't know any specifics about it, but found it on VRBO.com. Here is the listing: http://www.vrbo.com/418777#rates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headworked Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Butch10 and others, Thanks for clarifying the fees, and I went and read about the foundation, and have a better understanding of whats going on... The stages and descriptions look fun, and Im all in for my first TFD 3gn match!! What is best hotel option? Next town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehorn Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 There are a couple of places in Cuthbert, about 30 min away. Dothan is about 30-45 minutes away, but also in another time zone. The place Andy just posted in Eufaula looks pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New4John Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 So I just got done doing 2.5 miles @ 6mph on a 5 incline on the treadmill and finally decided to look at stages & saw stage 7....back to the treadmill These stages look AWESOME!

Lead-Head Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Do your shell caddies rattle a lot when you are on the treadmill John? Mine do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehorn Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 So I got weird looks today at the gym carrying an ammo can on the stair machine. . . .or maybe it was the rifle on my back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lead-Head Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Are those dual load caddies on your shorts or are you just glad to see me? Edited February 11, 2014 by Lead-Head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howa4au Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think I would go with the load 4's at the gym instead of the load 2's Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter115 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 No treadmill for this guy as I can't stand running and not going anywhere. Did however throw on the snowshoes, grabbed a rifle and headed out the back door for a 4 mile tour Saturday. Was hoping to bag a yote or two, but all I could chase up were deer. Temps were actually above zero (barely) so it wasn't too bad. Rifle did get a tad frosty though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went for a run around the neighborhood the other day in shorts and a T-shirt. Ahhh, I do enjoy it being warm here is south GA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan 45 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Mike, I know it's getting a little close for new ideas, but do you think there is any way you could set up some sort of side-match belt-fed dance-off?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IkEcCVZMsU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george76904 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) The place that Andy posted looks awesome! I really enjoy lake George or lake Eufala depending on where you are. Caught some of the tastiest and biggest cats I've caught recently. The 10 pound bass didn't hurt anything either though... But I will be happy in a cabin at the range.

Yeah, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to visiting a warmer climate. It pretty much sucks here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM2B Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I registered a few days ago and never got the confirmation email so I could pay. Anyone else have this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentleman4561 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Excited for this! Also, I will have a bunch of Kill Cliff with me. If y'all haven't tried it yet (or love it) let me know and I'll hook you up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch10 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I registered a few days ago and never got the confirmation email so I could pay. Anyone else have this issue? Be patient buddy. It will come. We manually have to "approve" each registration then the email will be sent out to you as the shooter with a link so that you can self squad.

Butch10 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The prize table is looking REALLY good! If you ever wanted to shoot a match and walk a prize table that has high end, top quality products on it then this is your chance. So far we have everything from T-shirts and hats to Surgeon bolt action rifle, night vision, suppressors (multiple), ARs, AR furniture, optics, Ammunition, eye wear, rails, triggers, cleaning kits etc. etc. the list goes on. Shoot well and I assure you that you will walk away very happy. I couldn't say thank you enough to all of the great sponsors who are supporting this years TFD3G event. Especially Adams Arms who has signed up as the Title Match Sponsor. We look forward to seeing everyone at the match! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch10 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 So, how heavy do you "the competitor" think this years skedco should be and how long of a pull? Just curious how you guys feel about it. If you consider yourself one of the more "in shape/fit" shooters coming to the match then I would like to hear from you as well as the youngest smallest shooter that may be in attendance. Let's hear it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lead-Head Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 How much does a 32 gal cooler full of beer and ice weigh? I know I can pull one of those and I old and decrepit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hear it! Input from the wife as one of the more fit, but smaller in stature competitors last year:Weight & distance were about perfect. Many factors tho. She had to pull it after it rained and the sand bags were soaked & super heavy...put it absolute borderline for her and even for some of the men on her squad. Take that in to consideration on the weight, maybe something different to add the weight that isn't permeable? Distance: last year was good, it was the turn that was the game changer. I agree with her here. Could be a little further if it was a straight line, but getting momentum & then having to turn, you basically started over.

Butch10 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Thanks for the input. Sand bag weight differences are an easy fix. I guess it will have to be a longer pull this year since it's strait line. Well if you disregard all the targets that you have to engage on the way you will never have to stop and start again Thanks for the input. Should be a fun stage! quote name="New4John" post="2105281" timestamp="1392583737"] So, how heavy do you "the competitor" think this years skedco should be and how long of a pull?
