rubberneck Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 to receive a trophy you won at a match before you say something? Back in early September I shot the Long Island Championship with two friends. All three of us won our class in our division at the match. Here it is the first week in December and none of us have gotten our trophies. Since I have never won a match where the trophy was to be mailed to you I have no idea if two and a half months is a reasonable time to wait before saying something.

Micah Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I don't believe that there is a set time...I've gotten them as early as 5 days, and waited as long as 10 weeks. Send the match director a friendly email and ask him when you can expect your plaque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moneypenny Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I agree with P. Bender..... just to put things in perspective.. today i got my plaque from Area 7 ... that was in June. Sending an email is fine. because if it was forgotten it can go on this years budget for the club in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kranzjdw Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I agree just a friendly email asking if there is a problem, it has taken as long as three months for me to get my plaque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSeevers Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 My longest took 11 months with a few friendly emails I sent responded with quite a few replies of "It will go out next week" The norm is 1-8 weeks or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberneck Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Thanks for the feedback. I was going under the assumption that 8 weeks would be on the long side. I'll shot him an e-mail tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boo radley Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Glad to see I'm not the only one with this question I think it's a good question, and one I had myself, after winning my class at the VA/MD Sectional, back in early August, this year, and still not receiving a plaque. It's not that big deal, but as Mark Twain said: "How happy the smallest thing makes us, when we feel we've deserved it." I wish all major matches were clear on: 1) Is there a prize ceremony? 2) If not, what happens? If so, what happens if you can't be there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganShootist Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) Just be polite.... good MDs are hard to find. I thought a MD lost an award I earned.... then I found out he gave it to another shooter to deliver.... and that shooter was still riding around with it in his trunk months later BTW-- I've received them in 2 hours and also in 6 months.

chrisa006 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 When we went to Long Island this year we were handed 5 trophys from the match last year. I don't think they mail them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
