It's Feb 1st! Everything from sponsor announcements to local match hotel is bellow. Please take a moment to read through this message and visit our sponsors. Good Luck, Bill Duda Match Director EGW 2017 USPSA Area 8 Championship This year's official match hotel will be the nearby Holiday Inn. They have a restaurant & bar on site and are offering a discount to our competitors. Simply click on the image or follow this link to register for your stay. The discount code you will need is 'USP' though this link will pre-fill the code in for you. We are not the only event in town that weekend, so book your rooms before there are none to be had. Sponsor Announcements Open Division Sponsor LA Police Gear has a wide variety of products that nearly all of us will find useful. From top notch blades and bags to pants and boots. The stuff they make themselves is hard to break and hard to beat in price. I even found myself shopping their website for Xmas gifts last year. They have stepped up big time to support our sport and you shooters. Take a look at what they have to offer, online, here, and let them know we sent you when you place your order. Class Level Sponsor Atlas Gun Works is a company dedicated to making some of the finest and faultless custom firearms in our sport. They'll get it to you quickly, they'll back it up, and they'll fix your current gun too. Just ask the folks they saved from DNFs with on range repairs last year. head to their website here, and see what they can do for you. Class Level Sponsor RSP Gun Shop was a staple of last year's match. Scott, the owner, was on the ground selling components, Dillon products, and parts. The prices made most people walk out of his trailer with goodies to keep shooting all year. Please visit his website here. He will take preorders to be picked up at the match. Don't forget about our already announced match sponsors. Title Sponsor Evolution Gun Works Production Division SponsorImmortobot Would you like to be on our team?

Glk21C Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 As of now the ability to reserve a squad for Saturday is closed. Other days are still open but Sunday is now filling rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkvibe Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) So the chances of anyone who isn't part of a reserved full squad shooting on the weekend is pretty much nill before signups even open? edit: or do you only allow a certain number of slots/squads to be taken during this process?

Glk21C Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 There are a limited number of Saturday & Sunday slots not reserved/have been kept open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 wow, as a first time shooter (fingers crossed) to the match that seems kinda crazy that almost all weekend slots can fill up with pre registration "hey i wanna shoot with my buddies" requests. guess it really is who you know.....

Does seem a little ridiculous, but this is the first year they tried such a thing. I'm pretty sure he is going to tweak it next year so this does not happen again.

BenBreeg Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Hmm, looks like I am going to have to see if I can shoot it Thursday or Friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glk21C Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Saying required is not true, sorry you feel that way. Saturday has a few squads we left open (not reserved by those that sent us in squad requests ) and Sunday approx. 1/2 the spots are still open. The idea of people sending in squad requests was simply an idea that has taken off much better than anticipated. Hope to see you there, Bill puts on a great match.

On 2/2/2017 at 5:16 PM, Glk21C said: There are a limited number of Saturday & Sunday slots not reserved/have been kept open This led me (and i think others, based on the thread) to believe that the chances of squadding on the weekend were "limited" and perhaps not possible. Glad to hear it's not the case - absolutely a great match, looking forward to shooting it again this year, just absolutely cannot swing it on a weekday. Thanks for the update!

Glk21C Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 The ability to reserve a squad for Sunday is now closed but there are still open slots available for Sunday. Thursday and Friday are still wide open if you would like to reserve a squad. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAB33 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Can you fly into NYC with guns and hi cap magazines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanb Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 NYC is a hell of a ride. I'd think philly is closer. Allentown is closer yet. Even Newark would be a better drive. Plus you are in pa where here are no weird restrictions. I'd be terrified of flyin out of or into ny or nj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAB33 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 OK, thanks for the info. Had to check because flights only $100 round trip to NYC from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Krywicki Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Under no circumstances should you fly into NYC or NJ with guns. Definitely go to Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan626 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 By the time reg opens, only 3 squads for Sat and 3 squads availabe for Sunday to squad in as an individual. That I do not like. What I dont like more is A8 let Area 7 competitors reserve squads while A8 shooters has to wait a week to see if they can shoot Area 7. That to me is not fair. Yes im a little sour because it seems A7 sectional is almost full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkvibe Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Bill posted on Facebook that you can ask to switch squads to shoot with your friends. He gave an email address to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glk21C Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Yes, this can happen, but more than likely you will be on a waitlist, at least for Saturday and Sunday. If you do this, please be clear as to what day and squad number you would like to be on and we'll try to accommodate if something opens up.
