Next Years Idpa Nationals Location

Has the location for the 2006 IDPA Nationals been announced? If not are there any rumors of where it may be held?

I've heard several people mention Frank Glover's place but nothing to substantiate the idea.

On a different note, where would you like to see a future IDPA Nationals held? What ranges have the facility to hold the match?

Actually the IDPA Nationals has been held in several locations other than CASA. For example the match was held at John Shaw's Midsouth facility for awhile before it moved to CASA. I'm not sure about all the different locations, but I bet someone on this board knows them.

How about PASA Park?

Midsouth was perfect IMO. Great facility. Close to Memphis which is fairly centrally located and offers a lot more than Little Rock. Very reasonably priced casino hotel for the spouse if that's your fair. A lot less than teh match hotel this year.

CASA is ok but weighing the cost of travel, location etc... I backed out last week. If it were the 3 hours closer in MS I'd probably still be going.

I agree

Odd question as it has Always been held in it's current location.

If I recall correctly,

1997,1998- United Sportsman Club, Jefferson City MO

1999- Green Valley (Chapmans), Hallsville, MO

2000,2001,2002- Mid South

2003,2004.2005- CASA

Part of the reason I haven't shot the Nats the past 2 yrs is it being at CASA. Nothing against the range, just don't like Little Rock. I too am eager to see what happens with USSA.

I like having the match in the midwest - of course it's closer for me, but seems like it's more centrally located for everyone. Of course now, if they moved it to Green Valley, it would be even better.

Fred, Mike, enjoyed working with you guys. Guess I'll have to plan on working next year, too. Fred, it's time to come back from the dark side into the light :D

It will be at the same place (CASA) with the same hotel also. In talking to Bill Wilson, he said he would like to have it somewhere near the east coast occaisionaly in order to give the CASA guys a rest and because most IDPA shooters live east of the Mississippi.

Having it every year in the midwest cuts out participation from shooters from either coast. I know a lot more east coast shooters would attend if it was closer to them and I'm sure the same goes for the folks out west. I think moving it around every once in a while is a good idea - to give everyone a chance to go who wants to. Sure we all save up the money for it, but still, a person from a neighboring state or local to the match is going to pay less for hotel and travel cost than someone who travels over 1000 miles to get there - air fare will be higher, or if you drive (like me) there's additional gas and an extra night or two in hotels along the way. As such, I kinda like the idea of having it a little more east for a bit, then back to the midwest and then to the west for a bit. :)

Take care,

Melissa

I'll go along with having it at "The Range" in Oxford N.C. I bet the Nats participation would top what it was this year. The Range drew 229 shooters for the Carolina Cup. Not bad considering the Nationals only drew about 285 shooters.
