AMJ Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Just got a slot in Single Stack and I'm very excited about the match, classifiers and all. I'm also thinking of applying to work one of the matches before or after, but haven't got a lot of experience. I just got my RO cert in March, and haven't worked anything but club matches. I'd love to have the experience, but do you folks think there's a chance I'd be accepted, given that I'd certainly be given grunt duty (which I'm fine with)? Also, how much chance is there of getting a walk on slot for a second match once I'm there? I could shoot the Lim-10 match after SS with the same rig. Would I have to classify in Lim-10 this summer?

Congrats on the slot! To the best of my knowledge (and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong), but you don't have to be classified to compete at the Nationals, just a USPSA member in good standing. According to PractiScore, there were 32 unclassified shooters at the 2017 Iron Sight Nationals (https://practiscore.com/results/new/44147) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newmexicocrawler Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Question for those of you that have actually shot at Frost proof......what is the ground like, meaning I have a couple different shooting shoes and depending what the range is like decides what pair I wear. I only want to bring one pair so should it be my Salomon shoes or my Under Armor cleats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the standing water get pretty bad after a bad rain storm. Have fun! Shannon puts on awesome matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KellyB Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I keep hearing about how Nationals has a tradition of it raining. Looking to those who are experience with the FrostProof weather. How deep does the mud get? Are there places/cover to get out of the rain? Rain gear suggestions, like big ponchos or umbrellas, extra shoes, cover for gear bags?[emoji299]️[emoji939][emoji299]️[emoji939][emoji299]️[emoji939][emoji299]️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
