Bwana Six-Gun Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) All three of us have the flu!!!!! I hope to be better to shoot Fri. Don't even think about breathing in my direction!!!!! James, If I even think you are breathing in my direction, you can pack your bags, cause you will be DQ for Unsportsmanlike Conduct. You are good enough that even I can say you don't need to be infecting anyone. How many re-shoots did you wangle last year?

Jake Di Vita Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I started coming down with something last night too. Be flying out of Michigan at 530. I hope it's not a replay os Wisconsin last year where everything was spinning when I shot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bwana Six-Gun Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 The match is over and the results are posted on the USPSA web page. We had 148 shooters and each one sent 250+ rounds down-range. When all was said and done, we only had 2 DQ's and one shooter that didn't make Major on the chrono. Every shooter that came through had nothing but good things to say about the match. The RM was bored, because he only got called twice for calibration and not once for checking a target. The weather was perfect, and everyone seemed to enjoy out eclectic prize table. I hope that everyone that came will tell their friends and shooting buddies so that next year we can push the limit of 200. This is the first year that I have actually gotten home before dark on the final day. John Heiter as Match Director is awsome! Mark Young (Un-official Assistant) was equally great. The competitors were incredible. No stage ever had to ask for help in taping or setting steel, because of that we were always at least an hour ahead of schedule. For those of you that didn't make it, yo misse a geat one. Next year will be even better. Same weekend, same great crew. Hope to see you there.

dajarrel Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Great match John. The stages were challenging, the RO's friendly, match staff efficient and the weather was perfect. Why couldn't I shoot better see you next year dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzworm Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 John does an outstanding job. He and his very skilled crew make this match a pleasure to compete in, going so far as to have snacks at the stages to keep the competitors going, and even a hay ride to get from stage to stage. When asked for suggestions for next year, no one could come up with any to improve the match. My thanks to John, and all the Magnolia team. A real class act.

racine Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Very nice match John. You planned good weather, good turnout, good refreshments and snacks at every stage(even healthy for you), efficient RO's, good lunches and even limo service between stages. Can you ask for anything more??? Yes, a repeat next year! Bravo! Racine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heiter Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hi Guys, Thanks for all the nice comments. The crew works very hard every year to make this thing come together and I think it really showed this year. We've still got a few weak areas to work on (more sponsors, better prize table, etc.) but we've been focusing on the quality of the shooter experience. To me that means good quality stages with the right blend of speed shoots to field courses, avoiding unnecessary physical challenges or gimmicks that put some shooters at an undue disadvantage, and doing whatever we can think of (and that our budget will allow) to make things easier and more pleasant for the shooter. Shade tents and benches on every stage, drinks, snacks, hand sanitizer in the porta-pots, the tractor trolly, etc. along with friendly and courteous RO's all contribute to the sort of fun, relaxing atmosphere that we are trying to create. I'm already looking forward to next year when we can incorporate some of the great suggestions we've gotten to build on this year's success.
