Carmoney Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Guys, if you're going to be in the midwest over this upcoming Memorial Day weekend, check this match out: --Sanctioned USPSA sectional match, point series approval pending --10 stages, 210 rounds in one day format (Saturday, May 28) --Plaque-only match --Free match shirt if your entry is received before May 1. --$50 entry fee That's right--only FIFTY BUCKS!! This is our home club. Not a huge range, not a fancy range, but still a very fun place to shoot. Probably one or two stages will be "run through the woods" type, really gets the adrenalin flowing, you feel a little like Johnny Rambo. Skip (BE handle: Badshot) and I would like some other wheelgunners to show up and challenge us. (Unfortunately, Sam has an AAU baseball tournament that weekend, so he won't be shooting.) Entry form is at OOPS website when you get there click on "Messages" and the entry form is sorta hidden in there (to keep out the riffraff). This match will limited to the first 60 entries received, so don't wait too long or you won't get in. Osceola, Iowa isn't exactly a cultural mecca, but there is a bona fide riverboat casino (which sits motionless on a swampy little pond) just a couple miles down the road, which is always good for a little entertainment the evening before and/or after the match. Let me know if you can make it, and write in "Squad with Carmoney and Ahern" on the entry form if you want, and maybe they'll put all of us wheelgunners together!

D.carden Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 MIKE, I'll see what i can do for that match. I've got in-laws near you ( knoxville & melcher-dallas) , about 30 miles away. Oscela is an hour or so west from them. I think i can talk my wife into going to visit her family. If not , i'm sure i can go. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COF Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Mike, I might have to try that one. I'd give me an excuse to go on to Omaha and see my sister. Besides, I'd get to use my gamey Bladetech moonclip holders Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Thinking of coming up from Kansas. Are you coming to the Sunflower Classic, I'm planning on shooting a Revolver, even though they won't recognize it (for now). If you are coming and will shoot a revolver, let me know. Anyone else want to show up and shoot Revolver? If we can get 5 to show up I may buy the placque myself, and donate it! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 Sounds great--just don't wait around too long to mail it in--with only 60 slots the Iowa match may fill up fairly quickly. Dan, hope I have a chance to say hello down in Florida. Jerry, it will be nice shooting with you again if you can make it up here in May. Hey Dave, I already sent in on the Sunflower Classic (even got my motel booked, Holiday Inn in Topeka is dirt cheap if you pay online), and circled L-10, but I'd really rather shoot revolver if there are others who will do the same. If Skip A. goes, I'll bet he'd shoot a wheelgun with us too. So let us know what you decide on that, OK? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I'm shooting Revolver, even though I may have to register in L10. Since it is a Placque Match, with prizes by Raffle, what's to lose. It's more important to me to get ready for the Area 3, where I will also shoot a Revolver. There are a few guys in KC that shoot Revo every once in a while, I'll try to drop them a line.

Tom Mainus Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Mike, If I sign up for the point series this was going to be one of my sectional matches. Still have to breech that subject with my wife. Tom Mainus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerT Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 A bunch of us from Northern IL are planning on making the drive out for the match. Don't think there are any revolver shooters though. See you all in may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.carden Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Mike, my entry form will go in tomorrows mail. BTW, there's no PF category on the entry form, so I hand wrote it under the DIV category. Might let others know to do the same!! See ya friday, i'll find you, shouldn't be to hard. GO "WHEELIES"!!!!

Carmoney Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 Dave, I think maybe I'll do the same thing--at all the other matches I'm attending around that time-frame I'll be shooting a revolver (except the Single Stack Classic the end of April), and it would really make sense for me to shoot the wheelie in Topeka also. I don't care about the plaque stuff either--as long as they would let us shoot for score and there were a couple revolver guys there, I'd be happy. Tom, the Iowa match should be an excellent opportunity for the point series. Try to come if you can get it arranged. Last year the OOPS Club ran a Single Stack match which was also a 10-stage, 1-day format (I'm sure they'll run it again later this year), and I thought it went really well. These guys do a good job and always run a nice, honest, fun match. Hey, it's Iowa. TriggerT, we'll look forward to seeing you and the N. IL guys out here, even if you are shooting a reciprocator!

Carmoney Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 Dan, good man!! Who knows, you might even get the chance to meet the "other D.Carden" while you're out here.... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted May 29, 2005 Author Share Posted May 29, 2005 Hey guys--I'm happy to report that we had 7 wheelgunners from 4 different states at our first-ever Iowa Sectional Match today, which is enough to have a real horse race. Dan Carden flew in from California to shoot with us, and won the division plaque. Several of us midwesterners did a fairly good job of keeping him honest! Results are under "match info--special matches" at http://www.ioweb.com/oops/ It was good seeing everybody today. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Mike, Looks like you had a good match too !!!!!! So that would make you the IOWA Section Champ!!!!! Whooooo Weeeeee Just a quick glance at the results....... That SANDBAGGING CARDEN......... does good on all the stages EXCEPT the Classifier We know what he's up to any way, Glad ya'll had a good match!!!! Congrats to the Sandbagger, and to Sam's Dad...... Congrats to the rest of the Revolver Dudes for dragging them 6 shooters out and bumping elbows with the Bottomfeeder guys..... I just hope we get 7 for the TN section.

TriggerT Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 I shot in Squad #5, and with Squad #6, and I am her to tell you that there were some DAMN good wheel gunners at this match and in our squad. The match ran a little longer than I had hoped, since we had a 6 hour drive home last night, but the satges were great, and the guys at OOPS put on a great match. Thanks to all of you that put inthe time to make it happen. As for me, the morning 6 stages went about as bad as they could. I shot so bad in the moring I was temped to call it a day at luinch time. Glad I didn't since the afternoon went much better, but 15 "D's" will kill any match score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 but 15 "D's" will kill any match score. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would have gladly taken 4 Ds over the 4 misses I had for the whole match, anyday. The good part is I did not hit any no-shoots! It was a great match and I had lots of fun despite my luke warm shooting. Thanks to everone who put their effort into the first Iowa sectional and hope to see you all come up to the MN sectional. We're hoping to have at least 5 Minnesota revolver shooters.

hopalong Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Keith, Good shooting, looking at the results you were right there..... Penalties KILL !!!! You and Carmoney gave Dan a run for the MONEY !!!!!!! You going to make the OHIO match ? We're trying for 20+ and Flex says the number is up to 15 or so.... If possible make the trip, it should be good. and bring any other 6 shooting buddy with you. Hope to see you before the Nationals! SAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadShot Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Hey Keith, Glad that you guys came down to shoot here. 4 misses - ouch!!! You would have really cleaned up without those misses. I didn't get a chance to talk with everyone, I shot on Friday and was only there Saturday morning. Is the Minnesota sectional the same as the one that was held at Del-Tone last year? I think we met up there last year. Lori and I are still talking about going to the Minnesota sectional this year. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted May 30, 2005 Author Share Posted May 30, 2005 Keith: My son Sam and I are signed up to shoot Revo at the MN Sectional in Sept. already, so that's three for sure. I know Skip went last year--he'd be four--maybe we can talk Jay into going along as well (although I know he's expecting to take delivery of his new Open blaster sometime around in there, so he might be distracted...) Pretty long travel time for Sam Keen and Cliff Walsh, so we're probably safe from them. We could be brave and invite Dan--of course, he might just take you up on it like he did me! That crazy guy will show up anywhere, anytime, to shoot Revo. Bet there's some other good wheelmen up there in your neck of the woods....

Looked up after I was done shooting a stage and you were gone already. The Mn sectional is going to be in Hutchinson, Mn this year. It's about an hour south of the DPMS/DelTone range. It is a great facility. There is a link to it on our MN section webite. http://www.mnuspsa.org/ Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 Forgot to add that I do not intend on doing the Ohio match. Sounds like fun, but, I already have a full year planned with Area 3, nationals, and I am ROing the Rocky MT 3-gun down in New Mexico.
