Noximus03 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Any ideas on when stages will be released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQDawg Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'm with you! Ready to see some stages! Can't wait to get an idea of what they put together for Frostproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSGJohnV Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I registered a bit late and got a day that unfortunately doesn't work out perfectly. Anyone interested in switching squadding for someone who's scheduled to shoot all day Friday? I would much prefer all day Sunday. I'm active duty Army and have to request the days off to drive down from Tennessee. Any takers? Thanks! Looks to be a great match in the making in any case.

TaterHead Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Is anyone camping at Lake Kissimmee State Park for the match? I need a ride from the range to the park Saturday afternoon, after shooting in the morning. My lady friend wants to take my truck and won't be back until late. Any ideas? Thanks.

ss+P Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Any ideas on round count. is 600 enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedevil008 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 ss+P, that will be plenty. Area 6 match is usually around 330 if I remember that report I saw a couple months ago. I'm shooting on Sunday, planning on driving down from Atlanta Saturday morning, and then returning to Sunday night or early Monday. Is there anybody making a similar drive or will be passing through around then and wants split gas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss+P Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks bluedevil008. I would put I am coming from Maryland. yes we can still have guns before anyone asks. hahahaha can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the published email address to make the change over a week ago but did not receive a reply. How can I get myself changed to Friday?

ron169 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Stages on Uspsa6.org Yes they are! By the looks of things, this is going to be my first true test! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron169 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 So at least half the stages thrown out, new unknown stages... Got to love drama at area 6! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uod Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Check the Area 6 FB page for more info on that. The drama is best saved for that page. But --- as Ron169 said --- Chris Palmer has requested that all stages be changed and not posted ahead of time due to some recent events that you can read more about on the Area 6 FB.

TaterHead Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm probably missing something here. Seems to me that the shooters / workers of the host club of any major match have a certain amount of home field advantage. Never helped me any. So, with the stages from various other matches perhaps no one gets that advantage. The idea of a local club setting up a stage they think will be in an upcoming major is nothing new. And it's also never going to be the exact thing anyway. There is more to this drama? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQDawg Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Happens all the time that local clubs with lot of shooters in the area going to a major type shoot will set up stages as much like the ones posted as they can so their local guys can get some practice. Always turns out that the distances, angles, and other elements are not the same. Never has seemed to be any real advantageous or disadvantage for anyone that I know of, especially me.

bluedevil008 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I think what made this situation different was that it was ALL stages happening AT the match location. From what people posted I couldn't tell if people were shooting the actual stages or just ones based on the diagram. I believe everyone thought it was the exact stages because it's at the range hosting the match and happening only 1-2 weeks prior. So yes, if that's the case, I don't think it's fair either. I have no problem with people setting up the stages based on diagrams, but literally getting to shoot through them several times beforehand is a huge advantage. Anyway, leave it to our group to find something to bitch about haha. I'm no less excited for this match than I was a week ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSGJohnV Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 As long as the match is challenging I don't really care what stages I shoot, but I can understand and support the decision to make sure there is no suspicion of inside information. Glad to see A6 is trying to nip this in the bud. Look forward to seeing all of you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss+P Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 So I clearly missed something. From reading the previous posts it sounds like shooters shot similar stages already. I don't really care either way. My question is are the stages that are posted a go or are we shooting all new stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZ Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Anyone know if this will affect competitors being allowed to walk stages before the match? I know some matches at USA are run closer to ipsc rules where you aren't allowed to walk stages until your squad's actual walk thru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQDawg Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm pretty sure we will be able to walk the stages in advance. Seems I read that stages will be set up this coming Saturday, but won't be available for viewing until Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSGJohnV Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Go to uspsa6.org to read the statement from them in regards to the stages. It explains it pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss+P Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Well said by the MD. sucks that the rumor mill had to cause extra work for the volunteers. Thank you for doing what you believe is the best course of action for the match and changing the stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EA308 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Is the round count going to be similar to the previous stages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinB Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'm surprised no one has posted about this match! I think everyone is still in somewhat of a daze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
