dirtypool40 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'll be there in Limited with Eric Seipp (lurker on here, and world class sandbagger) and OPENMIKE / Mike Stevens. Two nice guys from Chicago. Seipp's name is listed on the squadding thingy, mine's not, as yet. We are one squad behind Manny and the big dogs, so we can go to school on their stage plans. I'm gonna call it the "free course cutting class" I get for going to the other one in April. What 'cha shooting Chuck? It's interesting that Sevigny is showing LTD and Julie is showing L-10. Dave Sevigny is still a Glockster, J-Go is at last word a Smythe and Wessoneer. She's probably shooting a skinny gun in L-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 A5 will be my first big match with my Angus-ized SP-01. An old guy with bad eyes switching from Open to production. Go figure. I really like the gun and after about 10 matches I think I have the trigger figured out. The balance of the gun is perfect for me and with 134 pf loads it has the muzzle flip of my open gun with the added benefit of being a whole bunch quieter! I also worked in the Czech Republic for a few months back in the early 90's so there is a karmic connection also! We will be getting into town sometime on Saturday afternoon so perhaps you can show us how to shoot a stage or 2. John and Tom are from the Chicago area and I used to live there many moons ago. Still the best pizza If I don't find ya on Saturday, look me up on Sunday if you are still around. Later, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Are stage diagrams available yet? Any idea which classifier(s) are included in the match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin40 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I'll probably be skipping this one, 10-12hr drive from Ohio. Sounds like fun but think I'm going to pass on this one. Flyin40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Stoeger Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I think the Stages will be up sometime in Mid July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeMartens Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Squad 32 on Sunday, but not shooting production, probably L10 like at A3 and Indiana Section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidball Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 According to the USPSA on-line squadding, all of the weekend slots are full. It also appears that squad sizes on Sunday are limited to 5?????? And Saturday squad sizes vary from 6 to 10?????? With a total of only 140 able to shoot on the weekend????? Is this all correct or is there a glich in the on-line squadding system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a total of only 140 able to shoot on the weekend?????Is this all correct or is there a glich in the on-line squadding system? the Sunday squads are only 5 because they shoot all 10 stages in 1/2 day. All the saturday squads are 10 slots. When you use the on line squadding tool, you can elect not to have your name displayed. So a squad can be shown as full but not show any names! It looks like every thing is OK with the tool. Later, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Casper Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Sorry guys about taking so long to reply to this thread, haven't been on the forum much lately. The matchbook (with stages) should be available on the website for download in a couple weeks. You will find it on this page: Area 5 Info We were planning to have it available by August 1st, which is also the deadline for entries. An email will be sent to registered competitors and I'll also post to this thread when it's available. davidball: Yes, Saturday and Sunday squads are currently full with spots only available on Friday. Friday and Saturday squads are limited to 10 and Sunday squads are limited to 5, due to the prize table drawing and awards ceremony. Thursday slots with the staff may be available by request.

Micah Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Ronnie, I got your email with the link and raced to Enos to post it...but being the awsome director that you are, you beat me to it. Looking forward to shooting this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Only 2 more weeks! Question: There are "Max Trap" targets on stage 3 and 6. I have probably seen such things but I have never heard the term before. What are they? Does anyone have a link to a picture? TIA, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampleworks Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Not 100% sure on this but I believe they are what some refer as to "clam shell". A shot to an activator pulls a stick on two targets stacked (usually a noshoot on the front), a weight pulls the noshoot down, falls off then the noshoot rises back up. If you shot Ky State this year, Chuck's stage had one or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your description sort of fits with the stage diagram. FWIW I have heard clam shell used for those 2 targets that work with "storm door closers" where the activator allows the rear (shoot) target to snap up and release the front N/S target.

TIA, Chuck They are made by Max Davidson of http://www.gunsteel.com Here's a link to a picture and demonstration of the target http://www.gunsteel.com/maxtrap.html When activated, the no-shoot swings down exposing the target, then swings back up again.

mpthole Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Looks like there is a chance of rain pretty much every day. Don't forget that rain gear! Let's hope the forecast is wrong as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
