Jack Suber Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Just wanted to remind everyone about the 2006 South Carolina Section Championship, which will be held April 7 - 8, 2006. The match will be held at Mid-Carolina Rifle Club in Columbia. This is a one day match - shoot either Friday or Saturday. This will also be an STI Contingency Match. We also have a new Match Hotel that will have plenty of room for the banquet and will have a bar in the banquet room. The match application is in the last issue of Front Sight or you can get more info at www.southcarolina-uspsa.org. Hope to see y'all there.

JFD Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I hate it that my work schedule won't allow me to attend or design/build a stage this year. I'll show up on short notice if I can find a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boo radley Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Out of curiosity -- what kind of drive is it from Raleigh, NC? Mapquest says about 3:30 -- is that accurate? 230 miles, or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can make Raleigh in about 3 hours. I tend to drive fast.....but 3 - 3.5 is about right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Good morning Jack, This year I will do my best to be there. Will shoot it Saturday. Please post the registration form and hotel info. Thanx, Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFD Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I go this from Linda's web site: The Carolinian Hotel Columbia SC I would like to encourage everyone to stay at the Match Hotel. They have offered competitors at the SC 2006 State Championship Match a special rate of $ 60.00 per night for standard rooms or $ 69.00 per night for king rooms. Call toll-free 877-308-4986 or 803-736-3000 locally to make your reservations. They are not the closest hotel to the range (about 20 to 30 minute drive, depending on traffic), but they were the most willing to work with our group. Match Application Hope this helps.

Fireant Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Nemo, I wish I'd known, I just sent our groups apps in to squad on Sat. Maybe you could put a note in if you want to shoot with the same old folks you do at home. We can talk about it this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LChico Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 The match application was in the Jan/Feb issue of Front Sight. It is also available online. See my website http://lchico.5u.com and select the link on the left for 2006 SC Section Championship for an application or other details. We ALWAYS welcome CRO or RO help, but can also use helpers. Those of you who shot past SC Matches know that I prefer for the staff to paste and reset steel, rather than the shooters. I assign inexperienced helpers to stages staffed with CROs and ROs who have major match experience. This is a great way for new shooters to get involved and shoot a major match for free. If you are interested in helping, contact me at LChico@msn.com. The host hotel is new. The previous hotel was older and we had complaints that it was shabby and run-down. This new hotel is right across the street from our previous hotel. The Carolinian Hotel is located at 7510 Two Notch Road in Columbia, SC 29223. Pictures and more information about the hotel and banquet are listed on the web site. We will support the new 1911 Single Stack provisional division at the match. Contact me if you need more information. I am always happy to honor squadding requests. You do not (repeat: DO NOT) need to put them in the same envelope. Write who you want to squad with on the application, or email me a message. Hope to see you at the match. Linda Chico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrawandDuck Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Boo, good deal...Looks like I'll see you there. I am driving up Friday from Birmingham and probably stay Saturday night also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 This is an EXCELLENT match folks, definitely on the "not to be missed" list. David and I RO'ed for Linda last year and had a great time and were treated really well I believe we're just shooting it this year, work schedules are a bit tougher.

Normally, we are done around 4- 4:30pm. Get your apps in ASAP. I am pretty confident that we will sell this match out. I think Linda might still need some ROs. As Shootergirl said, we treat our ROs well. Linda and the crew run a match like no one else. Very efficient. However, she does have a challenge in scoring the new Single Stack Division. So, it might take 20 minutes to get the finals out . I'll bet on 15 though..... Hope y'all can make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's right -- an Excellent match. As a bonus, it's where I finally got to meet Kat in person. During the stage briefing, when she asked if there were any questions, I inquired whether showing 'Major Kattitude' would earn any extra style points. After a brief pause, she did this ===>> " " I have conflicting plans this year Kathy, so I won't be able to attend. Are you guys coming down for Area 6?

boo radley Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I'll will be there shooting Saturday. Shooting penalty-free, I hope! From the match application it looks like a buffet dinner is included Sat night, for the shooter? Is this also at the match hotel? Are there are any specific quirks to this match, or would y'all suggest just general Good Practices in terms of preparation? Thx - looking forward to this. Barely a month away, and no ($@*& air-travel required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the stages, generally free-style. They will be open for review Friday as long as you stay out of Friday shooters way. See you then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LChico Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 ALL Saturday slots for the SC Match are filled. There are a limited number of slots for Friday. If you did not get a confirmation letter or contact from me, you are not in for Saturday. I will start a waiting list (there are always a few dropouts) and will return checks to those who either cannot shoot Friday or prefer not to try a waiting list.

Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LChico Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) The good news is that I was able to move 12 shooters off the waiting list and into the match on Saturday. This involved much twisting of arms (of local shooters) to get them to move to Friday & open up spots for out-of-towners on Saturday. The bad news is that I've exhausted those possibilities. I still have a few spots for Friday shooters & I could still use 3 or 4 RO's (or other willing workers). If you would like to shoot Friday, I will waive the late fee. At this point, it is probably best not to try to snail mail the application. Contact me at LChico@msn.com with your information & I will get back to you quicker.
