Chris1911 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I think the highest shooter number is 213 ?, is that less shooters than last year? I think there were over 300 but some shot two guns? I always stay for the awards night on Saturday so the format change doesn't matter to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfieldshooter Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) I think we are supposed to turn up and watch the shoot off (Championship Round) being filmed for TV and NRA web sites on Friday. Sorry; looks like no shooting on Friday according to the Program the Championship Round is scheduled for 8.30am Saturday. BUT it could all change by then Edited May 11, 2016 by goldfieldshooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RippinSVT Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I just don't know what to think... I like my squadding, me and Marc Kleser are shooting one-on-one all week lol. However, it's gonna be a long week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 All the open high masters finish on plates? I see at least 2 people who are on there and never registered. Definitely odd squadding. Maybe its just a preliminary that wasnt supposed to be found. From talking to Damien, shooting was supposed to be done early friday to have time to figure all the shoot off squadding and let people choose what award they were shooting for if that was the case. He also said people would still shoot 2 events on 1 day. So that leaves tuesday or friday to not shoot. Maybe they didnt have enough sign up to need to shoot on friday?

RippinSVT Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 That was my thought, struggling to fill time slots with the low attendance and longer week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffl Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Talked to Damian this morning about the issues with squading. Friday is for international teams to shoot?? those who are on list but not signed up are in top 20 last year and get squaded. If they don't show up they are dropped. He fixed the 2 (?) persons who had 4 practicals listed. Said he would talk to IT guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fixed the 2 (?) persons who had 4 practicals listed. Said he would talk to IT guy. So potentially 3 matches for the team participants? (If you make the championship round?)They need to update the program with more information, people need to plan for ammo if that is really the case.

gm iprod Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Those travelling (especially from overseas) may not have brought enough ammo or laid in suitable supplies of components for correct ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) From Damien - Friday will NOT be the International match. The International Match is as it is before and consists of the aggregate of the 4 team members first Match X scores. Friday will be the tie breaker shoot off matches, AND a new "Team" format match, only shooters who are NOT shooting on Saturday are eligible for the team match. Only room for 16 teams of 4 shooters. Register at registration (if you happen to make the Championship round, you can find a replacement or possibly arrange a refund). Team members must consist of the below: 1 - Open Shooter 1 - Metallic Shooter 1 - Production Shooter 1 - Can be any of the above. This is all via conversation and subject to change or my misinterpretation. He hopes to have something more official out before next Tuesday when he heads to Columbia. I also suggested that he ask Mr. Potterfield if Midway would be open to hosting some tours on Friday. Shorter drive than Sierra bullets.

I wouldnt have brought enough ammo for 3 matches and practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RippinSVT Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 So I guess...any decent Open shooters who need a decent Metallic shooter for friday if we don't make it to the Championship? I'm a pretty solid 1800-something Metallic guy, not brilliant, but okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 This is the first time Ive been on the forum for over 6 years. The new format doesnt concern me, but I do worry that new shooters and shooters out of the top 16 have a loooonnnngggg wait to the presentation dinner. Also, they are giving up a whole week as they shoot midweek. A better format would be have everybody shooting over the weekend and the top 16 shooting off on the Sunday or Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's nice to shoot a side-match that is just for fun. I was really bummed about the changes at Bianchi, but I'm starting to embrace some of them. It'll be fun either way.

ffl Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I think they had to throw a bone to the non top 36 shooters. (You know the ones who pay for the match) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Had turn out been higher, we would still be shooting on Friday. So it was a last minute addition. Better than nothing I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Pistolero Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I think they had to throw a bone to the non top 36 shooters. (You know the ones who pay for the match) Hey!

ffl Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Kevin, I meant that the ratio of total shooters to the top 36. What it is 36/200? I was not implying that anyone got a free entry. ( outside of ones given to sponsors of a certain level). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
