BritinUSA Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 So how's the weather in Tulsa in October? Lows at 51F, Highs at 74F And closer to Colorado, so less travel time.... excellent choice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorch Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Humidity runs in the 30-40% unless it is raining in october Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) Are there hotels, restaurants & an airpost in Tulsa? - then again, I suppose anywhere in the US would have more hotel space than Barry. Seems like a wise choice by Sedro & I am looking forward to it (regrets to those who are adversely affected). Tulsa, here I come (provided I can obtain a slot). EDIT: looks like current population of Tulsa is: 393,049 With a city of that size, there should be plenty of everything.

SRT Driver Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Is Open / Prod / Revo it at the United States Shooting Academy facility in Tulsa? Tom Fee's complex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerT Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Interesting way of breaking up the divisions. Then again, I guess they are trying to do something different each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Anderson Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 The Tulsa match is at USSA. If everything comes together this should be a great shooting facility. I think that we should support it as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outerlimits Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Any chance of convincing them to do them the other way around?? yea, like back-to-back open/3gun... heard 3gun is in bend...i like it...i assume bend in sept, tulsa in oct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypool40 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 (edited) so you're telling me that someone in a leadership position actually though it made good sense to have Lim / L10 be one match. WOW. At least this year the split made sense. I was kinda hoping we had found the new mix. well, I suppose next year, it'll be something brilliant like Open / Lim / L10 and then a month later all those thousands of Prod / and wheel gunners can have their own match. sorry, it's late, I'm cranky.

diehli Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 so you're telling me that someone in a leadership position actually though it made good sense to have Lim / L10 be one match. WOW. Uh, well, the people that want to win prizes will shoot L10 and the people that want to compete will shoot Limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimel Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 i assume bend in sept I would hope so. Bend in October could be rather unpleasant if the weather gods decide to have some fun. On the other hand, 3-gun in the snow could actually be kinda fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I would imagine Bend will probably be a bit earlier in the year than October or September. USPSA wouldn't want to contradict with two Nationals in the same month in different states, I would hope. August is out because of DPMS and Rocky Mountain. July sounds like a really nice time of year to be in Bend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the difference in the field between L10 in 2004's "one gun" nationals and this year. Edited December 2, 2005 by dirtypool40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Personal preference for me. One large match, make your choice and shoot it. Second choice for a split Nationals is Open-Limited (Both are standard capacity matches) and L-10, Production, SS, Revolver (All are reduced capacity matches) A couple reasons: One, I like it this way, that is simple enough Two, Places that cannot host the Open-Limited CAN host the L-10, Production, SS, Rev match, i.e., NJ, MD, HI, CA, NY Third, I like it this way. Forth, One big match, One big set-up, One big travel mess, One big week off, One logistical nightmare rather than two. Barry in September is OK, not been to Oklahoma, yet. Will have to see how the rest of the schedule holds up to see if I can swing two weeks off 4 weeks apart, not to mention the travel time and expense. Barry is a long one day drive, OK is not, it is a flight and a car rental. Obviously the fact that we evidently sold out the back-to-back last year and if I understand it correctly did not go into the red was a good thing. If there were one thing I would like to see it would be a little bit more pomp and circumstance surrounding the awards, maybe a bit of spit and polish? Not saying we need black tie, but how about at least a minimum dress code? Something that would make for good press? Jim Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRe Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Ding ding ding!!! No more calls please, we have a winner. Hey, dammit!!! I take offense to that!!! I can't help it if my gun only holds 10 rounds... Of course, that just means it's even more shameful when I beat up on guys with a fat gun shooting Limited.... hee hee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypool40 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 well, Dave, I meant no offense. It just don't make no sense. Split Lim and L10 away from each other so the top guys don'thave to choose. I want to finish well because I shot well, not because I picked the softer field. Not to overstate the obvious but L10 shouldgo away and Single stack should have it's own Nats. DUH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
