SonOfSpartans Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 This is fantastic and I know a couple of ladies I will be encouraging to enter! If not that, I will encourage them to come out and watch. Looks like a real strong and positive team behind this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camazama Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I am super excited about this match. I think this is a great idea, especially for new shooters who may be intimidated by the prospect of entering a large-scale match. I have the registration date marked on my calendar. And my fingers are crossed I make it in. Thanks to all the fabulous people who helped make this possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New4John Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) To any of the men signing up as Volunteer RO's...you may want to use a different email address than your spouse if she is shooting. When I signed up to RO via the volunteer link, all of my wife's squad, division and shooter info stayed the same, but was replaced with my name. Lisa-Marie had to go in and manually change the name back to my wife...and it updated to her on the shooter and RO list, so it must be tied to the email address. She's looking into it to try to get it resolved if possible. Figured I'd throw that out there so maybe I'll be the only guy who was like when I saw my name show up on a squad for this match.

Serenity Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Just registered, was #213 though. Thought only 200 competitors. Not complaining though just curious, I am now regretting waiting to sign up. This will be my first 3gun and I'm new to competitive shooting as well. Excited to train in the next few months. Any tips appreciated! Clarification though: will firearms be available for rent during the event or just for the clinic before the event? Thanks!

Glock17Girl Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Anyone know is this going to be all bay style, or is there natural terrain. And what about long range, do we need to practice up for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
