DougCarden Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 This match is one of the best matches I have been to in years. It was on par with an AREA match, and this year is shaping up to be even better than last year! I'll be there, and hope to see you there as well!

Derek45 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 My Wife got Breast Cancer two years ago. She's doing fine now. Thank God. Were is Lowel Iowa? What's the best route from St.Louis? Are there any hotels near by? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Hi Derek, sorry to hear about your wife. Glad to hear she is doing well and she will be in our prayers! Now as to the Match, It is 14 miles from Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, which is located at the junction of Hwy 34 and Hwy 218. Hwy 218 is also Hwy 27, which is the Avenue of the Saints, about 3 hours for you, give or take the speed limit! Lodging information can be found at www.henrycountytourism.org. As far as a map, go to Mapquest or the like, enter Lowell, Iowa, and you will see the map with routes from Mt. Pleasant. You can either go east to New London and then head south to the range, or go south on Hwy 218/27 to a county road and then head east. This is the range the held the BIG DAWGS STEEL MATCH earlier this year. Hope to see you there! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Jones Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Wish I could make it as it is for a great cause! My wife is also a breast cancer survivor, two years this coming October. Are you all doing anything along with the match to raise money (t-shirt sales, raffles, etc.)? Might be a good way to generate additional support for the cause.

And I to wish you could make this match, it is going to be better than last year, and last year was super. I have considered doing, A raffle, or a side match, but it is tough to come up with prizes, and I hate hitting up vendors for give aways, I realize how much they do for larger matches re: nationals, and area matches, and I thank them for that. I own a small bussiness and I get hit up 5 to 6 times a week. This match is still in it's infant stages, but with , the feed back I get it is soon to be as big a an area match, it certanly has quality , shooters and stages. But having said all that I'm always open to suggestions. thanks Ken K II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 But having said all that I'm always open to suggestions. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How about selling Virtual Slots People fill out the form, pay the money with no intention of shooting the match. They get listed on the results as Virtual Competitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Jones Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'd be up for that-sounds like a great idea, especially if you mail out the t-shirt to the virtual competitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This virtual shooter thing sounds pretty cool. ken k II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRubio Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Great idea BritinUSA.... My mom had a bout with breast cancer some 15 years ago. Thank God she is still with us and doing just fine. Count me in as a virtual shooter. Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberley Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Good for you, Ken. Glad to see it coming together again. Count me in as a "virtual attendee" as well. I can't get away from the office, but I'm all about the cause. Let me know if I can do anything else to help from here as well. Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Jones Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Before sending in the match fee, I want to check to make sure the Virtual Competitor concept is still a go? If so, I assume that I need to mark the entry form as a virtual competitor-anything else needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken k II Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) Shoot For Life Is Offically A Point Series Match Edited October 5, 2005 by ken k II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken k II Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 Time is running out to pre-register. Just a reminder Pre-registration gets you a Shoot For Life match shirt {polo} free, and support a great cause while shooting. Here is an option that I have offered to competitors, they could shoot on friday with the staff if you can't make the match on saturday oct-22. Virtual shooters are also welcome. ken k II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truegent2004 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Ken I just put my app in the mailbox tonight. You should get it Saturday or Monday. I'm really looking forward to it. Is there a match hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I dont mean to speak for Ken, as I dont know if there is a match hotel set up, but you can go to www.henrycountytourism.org. We used the Ramada Limited for the Big Dawg Steel match this summer and everyone liked it. They have a big continental breakfast in the morning, and they even set it up an 1/2 earlier for us when we asked! Hope to see you there, DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
