StealthyBlagga Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 So no more half-day format? As stated, SMM3G will utilize a full-day schedule in 2016. The scheduling for subsequent matches has not been decided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benelli Chick Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 From the SMM3G Powers that be: It sounds like some people may be reading more into the 2016 Walk-Through Policy than is really there. In previous years, the published Walk-Through Policy was as follows: "On Wednesday & Thursday, if no competitors are shooting, preparing to shoot or scoring the stage, the Range Master has approved registered competitors only to enter or move through a course of fire. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, competitors may enter or move through a course of fire only with prior approval of a Range Officer assigned to that course of fire, or the Range Master. At no times are props to be activated, reset, or should anyone be downrange." For the 2016 match only, the Range Master is simply WITHOLDING his approval for anyone to enter or move through the course of fire prior to their scheduled briefing time. This is the only match-wide Walk-Through Policy change for the 2016 event, and the change is being made for reasons that will become clear when competitors arrive. Everyone will still get their full 5-minute squad walk-through, and folks will be relieved to hear they still get to help reset the stages for their squadmates. Nothing in the 2016 Walk-Through Policy in any way prevents competitors or spectators from observing the stage layouts from the spectator area (i.e. behind the rope line). Indeed, because of the full-day schedule, competitors should have ample time to enjoy watching others shooting the stages. We hope this will minimize any disadvantage for the first shooter of the squad on any given stage. Lastly, we want to emphasize that the Range Master will be taking great care to ensure that the change to the 2016 Walk-Through Policy will not create any problems with competitive equity. Sorry if beating a dead horse. Does this mean that on Wed and Thursday, we may sit behind the rope line and watch te RO's shoot? I'm not complaining, I am simply trying to figure out arrival time etc. Thank-you! Denise P.S. I agree with EricM - yeah on full day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CORRECT - folks who arrive early can watch the pre-match from the spectator area. The targets and shooting areas should be quite visible from there... no great mysteries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadeslade Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I am getting forgetful. What is the difference between half day and full day format? I go to matches, I show up at my first stage and go. Seems like I spend all day at the range and then I go eat. Repeat next day and next day. I like that. Never really notice half-day full day or things like that. Maybe that's just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinistralRifleman Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 RIFLE SLING REQUIRED Be advised there will be one stage that requires the shooter to sling an unloaded rifle. Please plan accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_B Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I have a question that may affect a lot of shooters. Since the stages are supposed to be semi surprise stages will we be allowed to video the stage/shooter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I have a question that may affect a lot of shooters. Since the stages are supposed to be semi surprise stages will we be allowed to video the stage/shooter? Video taping will be allowed, with restrictions on some stages relative to the area from where your videographer can shoot. There may be one shooting area in which video cameras will not be allowed in any form... including shooter worn. We are working on the policy now and will have information available at the stages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttac Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Having never been to this shoot, how do people normally haul gear? Is it like blue ridge, where everything is spaced out and people drive from stage to stage with guns in bags, or is it a bay style match where stages are right next to one another and people use carts and wagons? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBOpen Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Bay style. I normally park as close as possible to the last stage of the day and cart to the earliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StealthyBlagga Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Is there any issue with bringing a golf cart, or sidebyside Utv and driving from stage to stage? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Be advised that parking is restricted at the match. No participant vehicles (be they cars, trucks, ATVs or golf carts) are permitted to pass the "STAFF VEHICLES ONLY BEYOND THIS POINT" signs except with permission of the Range Master (generally granted only to participants with limited mobility). Last year some people took liberties, so I expect the RM to be strict on this point. Edited March 29, 2016 by StealthyBlagga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
