Gary Stevens Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 (edited) The 2006 Area 5 Match will be held at Holmen Practical Shooters Holmen, WI. on August 25-27. Wisconsin has never had an Area 5 match and I am very happy to locate the match at Holmen for 2006. Let's get behind this club and support the match in a big way. I look forward to seeing you there in August. More details will follow as they become available. Gary UPDATE--REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN AT THE AREA 5 WEBPAGE.

Truegent2004 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 It will be nice for Minnesota shooters to venture to an area match thats actually close (Not including when we hosted it in 2003), even if it is in cheesehead country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrettone Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) LOOONG way. but i'd like to make it anyway, we'll see how thing shape up next year. Does the club have any major match experience? The RM is top notch, he is bringing in all ringer CRO's for this match (the arm-twisting has already begun again...ouch!!!), and he is visiting the club in advance to assess its capabitlities and find out what kind of out-of-town resources are needed...in short, they are doing their homework. They are doing an RO class, and should have everything in place to hold an excellent match. I hear the MD is very knowlegeable, and is excited to see Wisconsin host the match for the first time. I think that energy, coupled with the knowledgable RM that Gary Stevens asked to work the match will make for a great venue. With Garys policy of offerring the match for two years to a club, it means that the club will reap the benefit of many tournament-caliber RO's to assist in the following year, and many years to come plus an easier time of it the second year running the A5. Congratulations Wisconsin, I'm sure you'll do great!!! I am happy to see the announcement this early, and can't wait to go. I hope to see all of you there....and that means you too Mr. Hopalong!!! If I can drive to your neck of the woods.... Jeff Edited November 18, 2005 by Barrettone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mainus Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hop, Wait a minute. I am supposed to come down for your little revolver match next year, but Area 5 is to far for you to drive, come on. I have to go but this ain't over yet my bald, fat, blind, gimpy friend.

Tom Mainus Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 I think Perry Wilson is the RM. He is from northern Illinois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mainus Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) Hop, Are we going to have to turn on our Yankee hospitality to get you this far north? What is it going to take? Match is @ 4 hours northwest of my house. 220 miles away. If you fly into Mitchell (milwaukee) I could pick you up at the airport. ( no rental car , more money for beer) Ship your ammo to me, no headaches at the airport( Ease of mind is worth alot) Depending on your travel schedule, would even open up my home to you to stay in.( no hotel fees, more beer money again) How could you pass up on this deal. I will even throw in all the Off you will need to keep the mosquitos away. What its going to be, WOOF WOOF, Tom Edited November 19, 2005 by Tom Mainus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckbradley Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Well its 669 miles from KY to Holmen. Was thinking about making the trip with my boys but here in KY school starts around August 15th and they both play football. You all have fun, we just cant make that long of a trip then. I worked with Perry on this years Area 5 and he is one of the best RM's I have been associated with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mainus Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 The way The Pack has been playing this year, I would probably go for the hat and t-shirt off of the prize table before the tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeMartens Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 467 miles from Indianapolis, just under 8 hours. As long as you get the choice of 1 or 2 day format and the stages look like it would be worth making the drive (big round count stages) I would be up for it.

Gary Stevens Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) I believe we are looking at a minimum of 10 stages and while round count is important, the quality of the stage is more important than the quanity of rounds fired. I do understand the issue though. I see no reason that the one or two day schedule can't be offered. It seemed to work well this year, and to be honest, I am glad I picked the two day schedule this year. It was a little more laid back than running from stage to stage.
