LTR Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 What are the times to show up for the shooter's briefing, and start of shooting on Saturday and Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 I will send out the shooters breifing electronically by Friday. That will tell you to be at your 1st stage by 7:50 both mornings and everything else you need to know. Should be done by 2pm on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTR Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Thank you so much! Looking forward to being back in my native state, and a fantastic match! Fortunately I'll be able to acclimate to the altitude by spending time with my family a few days prior. Laura Torres-Reyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camazama Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Laura - cheater acclimating beforehand. Come on flat-lander, we're supposed to show up out of breath and wheezing. Cameon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 High 80s and dry is the weather forecast. The mosquitoes have calmed down, but there are still a few around. Sunscreen and fluids will be good to have on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camazama Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Mark - is the round count you posted on April 10th still accurate (370 rounds - 125R 125P 92Bird, 14 slugs, 14 option). Trying to get everything in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camazama Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Stage layout and descriptions copied from Facebook and printed. Waiver printed and signed. Checked the weather and am not liking the 90+ degree forecast. Now, just need to pack all my gear and necessities for the match. Water, shorts, and umbrella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 I drank 1.5 gallons of water on the range today. It is a dry heat. But at least the mosquitoes are gone. Safe travels to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all of the staff shot 10 stages on Friday, which was a bit grueling.If you shot the match, feel free to send me a message and let me know good, bad, etc. Yeah, I already know the woodpile on stage 7 was tough. If I could have changed it I would have.Safe travels and I hope to see you all for the 2016 match...no woodpile and a NEW standards stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) THANKS so much to all of my staff. Without you all, this would just be an idea in my head. I get so many compliments about how friendly our match staff is. Sure, we make some mistakes, but this group of staff is flat awesome in providing the best match experience possible to the shooters. Almost all of the staff shot the match too, all 10 stages on a very hot long day and many of them set up all 10 stages the day before. Their sacrifice of taking a hit on their performance shows their love of the sport and the people in it. Stage 1 was Nick Ingmire and Jeff Oakey.Stage 2 was Price McDonald, Dean Marsh and Hunter Passamaneck.Stage 3 was Brian Brandow and Blake PassamaneckStage 4 was Drew Boldt and Kim ChristianStage 5 was Carey Hess, Cindy DeSplinter and Corey RoseStage 6 was Kevin Travis and Lauren FilterStage 7 was Tony Lytton, Ed Pettinger and Doug PetersonStage 8 was Curtis Brotherston and Erika SandersonStage 9 was Terrance Jackson and Michael FromknechtStage 10 was Michael Payne and Lynae Payne. Dave Hartman and Ryan Berry kept the stages stocked with supplies and the ROs happy. Dawn Perez was our chef and kept us fed and cooled with frozen treats. Steve Lichon did your scoring. He does an awesome job. Becky Passamaneck took care of the Predators team members who were out working some of the stages, ran their raffle and spread a little extra happiness around the range. She is an amazing woman who supports this passion of mine for the shooting sports in so many ways. Thanks to all of you for making this match what it is!

Bullittmcqueen Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Fantastic shooting by all of my friends on the Strong-Side Tactical Shooting team! Congrats to everyone. Sounds like a great match Mark. Thanks for all your hard work as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 I almost forgot...20 ladies shot the match (about 15%) . Lady Tactical gets their own prize table and the women battle it out amongst themselves. Pretty cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camazama Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Once again, one of the best matches of the year!! Mark, you outdo yourself on stage design and making this a shooter-friendly match. The ROs were excellent and the food was delicious. A huge Thank You to everyone would worked the match and made this an outstanding event. The only issue I had was some of the stages needed a sign stating "You must be at least ------ this tall to shoot this stage." Stages were well thought out and designed. They challenged our mental and physical abilities, but weren't so difficult that newer shooters would get intimidated. Also, it was great to have that many ladies shooters as well.
