davidball Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 This match keeps getting better and better!!! I'll tell you what . . . this match is becoming a representation of all that is good about USPSA. Our initial goal was to put on the best match we possibly could (challenging and fun) and keep the costs as low as possible because the purpose of the match was to raise funds to cover the cost of our range improvements (past and future). Those of us addressing the actual match stuff knew what we could accomplish in the allotted time frame and we have proceeded accordingly. We knew we couldn't do all of the "big match" frills stuff. In the meantime, people like Jake M. (and others) have stepped up on their own to help our match, our club, our range and our sport. Truly inspiring.

JakeMartens Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Thanks Dave I shot my first ever IDPA match there at the range in Oct 2000 and then shot my first ever USPSA match there in 2004. The folks there have always been great to be around, it was my pleasure to help where I could. Have added a few more sponsors who are donating to help the match: Starlight cases - a pistol case Otis Technology - 750 cleaning kit Zero Ammo - $50 certificate Bar-Sto - barrel certificate Blade-Tech - product CZ USA - shirts and hats Nowlins - barrels Comp-Tac - certificate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin40 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 (edited) This looks like a good match. We have a local match that is extremely good on the same date. I"ll have to decide Flyin40 Edited April 28, 2006 by Flyin40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidball Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 (edited) Well, for a "no frills" match we certainly are blessed with a lot of frills all of sudden . . . thanks primarily to fortyfiveshooter's (Jake M.) efforts. We will be giving away, according to my rough calculations, over $3,500 in prizes at the match!! Here's how we are going to do this: Performance: * $50 gift certificate in addition to plaque for each division winner * XS Sights certificate for "clean" (no penalties) match (or four "cleanest" matches - fewest "D's" will be the tiebreaker) * T-shirt / hat for HHF on Stage 7 in each division Blind draw participant prizes: Higher value prizes will be drawn for all pre-registered competitors (registered by 4/26/6) Remaining prizes (if any) will be allocated to match day registrants. With the amount of loot Jake has secured, it looks like almost all participants will walk away with something, in addition to a good time at the match.

davidball Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 Everything is in place for a great match. Pre-registrations have been brisk, but we still have room for some match-day registrations (you won't be turned away). Jake M. has secured enough prizes so that every competitor will walk away with something. And we will have a "giveaway" of a Smith and Wesson M&P in .40. The weather forecast is for scattered showers (same as last weekend - my sunburn quit hurting on Wednesday) but we have requested that rain only fall occasionally on squads with shooters going to Area 6 to get them ready for the Georgia weather in early May. Hope to see you there. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Looks like we'll be getting wet with an 80% chance of rain for a total of 1 inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Correction, that is 1-2 inches. Thinkin about packing the waders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Ayup - we shoulda brought the waders - it was cold, wet and windy for most of the day, but still worth the drive and the weather. EXCELLENT MATCH! Mr. Ball put on some wonderful stages and is an excellent RM/MD. Thanks Dave - looking forward to Berm Aid II (but get a new guy in charge of weather) Jake DiVita won Open, Tony Hawkins won Limited and Rhino won Single Stack! I got to hang out with "Thomas Moore if possible", Cameron, Matt Cheely and RB too. Lemme just say, those guys are FAST! I know what I have to practice now!!!!

Cameron Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Thanks to the staff!! They put on a great match, despite the rainy weekend.

EXCELLENT MATCH! Mr. Ball put on some wonderful stages and is an excellent RM/MD. Thanks Dave - looking forward to Berm Aid II (but get a new guy in charge of weather) Thanks, SG. Glad you enjoyed the match despite the weather. By they way, the guy in charge of weather was fired on SATURDAY, just based on the forecast. The "wonderful stages" were designed by co-match director Aron Bright. He put a lot of thought into them and they came together nicely! Jake DiVita won Open, Tony Hawkins won Limited and Rhino won Single Stack! Add Teddy Llasos as Limited 10 winner, David Rose won Production, and Tom Johansen won revolver.

JakeMartens Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I would like to thank Dave and the great RO's that pulled off a very fun and challenging match. Even though the conditions were less than favorable I think everyone still had a good time. A big thank you to a mostly new group of RO's that did an excellent job. Also this gave me an opportunity to get rid of my "what the hell happened there" match so now I am set for the rest of the season!! If you get a chance drop these folks a line saying thanks, it really helps for future prize tables efforts. pcowell@smithwesson.com ppluff@smithwesson.com tom@blade-tech.com petejr@corbon.com pat@hogueinc.com debw@springfield-armory.com info@robarguns.com tony@blackhawk.com metaloy@alltel.net info@starlinebrass.com info@paraord.com jackisag@lvcoxmail.com izehr@otisgun.com irv@barsto.com tammy@cz-usa.com alice@cz-usa.com nowlinguns@msn.com johnm@wiolsoncombat.com kemmons@pelican.com dbiggers@xssights.com freds@511tactical.com joec@dpmsinc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidball Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Thanks to Dave and Jane for the hospitality and the beer The next time I let you drink my beer, I'm going to hang around for the conversation rather than work on the match in the other room. You guys schooled Jane on match technique and now I have to worry about her beating me again. It's embarassing to have to move the bedroom firearm from my nightstand over to hers . . . i had a great time at this match eventhough i made a boo boo on the last stage, sorry about that dave first time in six years of shooting. Had to go and bugger up a perfectly fine results page with THOSE two letters . . . . . . at least you got to shoot most of the match! See you in Georgia!
