Bubber Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Snip There is good news tonight! Just got back from the local ICORE Match (we won't talk about the results) and Elliot and Annette were there. They are both heading for Tulsa!!! WOO HOO! That will add another GM and B Class to the mix. The only fly in the ointment is that they are going to be on the stand-by list. Let's do some incantations and sacrafice a few chickens and goats to get them in the show Bwanna, Vic Pickett has a chicken he ain't using right now. It has a little potency left, Ask Jerry. I think it should work out as I know of another trying to get in on the Rev Squad from Arkansas. Let's cash in on Hop's prize table... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffwalsh Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 That is good news. Elliot and Annette are good people and a lot of fun. They are some of the harderst working people I have ever shot with. Ps. They can shoot too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmoney Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Talked to a guy today at Area 5 who's seriously considering showing up as a walk-on at Tulsa just to shoot Revo! Wouldn't surprise me a bit if he does exactly that, he's a seasoned competitor who gets around to lots of matches.... I still think we might hit the magic 50!

Nemo Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 In the not-so-good news department, I found out that Nils won't be attending nationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltermitty Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I met a revo shooter at the Texas Nationals this weekend that said his department is sending a team and he'll be wheelgunning it. His group is from a New Mexico LE department. Perhaps he'll show up here a chat a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waltermitty Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) How was the TX Nationals ?????Hop Seems like I'm hearing of a whole bunch of folks waiting to walk up on Sunday................... 11 challenging stages (one was thrown out, stage 10 of the original 12, for insufficient gamer containment protocols). The weather was certainly acceptable for the venue. Oddly enough, almost every stage could be broken down into 6 round arrays even though several of the organizers didn't realize it until they saw it done. It was a good time with 3 revo shooters on our squad. Edited August 20, 2007 by Waltermitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltermitty Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Just to note. M. Luttrell should have a subscript "s" with his classificatation. i.e. sB. Because I have *never* come *close* to beating Mike and he's in "B" Class?? Methinks some sandscript is in order. For some reason Mike likes being in B class. He doesn't think he is ready to move last year, thinking he wouldn't be able to place in that division, and then he won A class. Go figure. He also won the OK revo Sectional this year against some decent competition in miserable conditions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sargenv Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 So what kind of weather can we expect there in Mid Sept? I'm thinking possibles for rain every day. Warm if not hot, humid weather. Possibly T-storms? I figure I'll at least bring out the gore tex pants and jacket (light stuff, just a shell really) and of course shorts for the rest of the match.. Being warm and humid I figure that place should be ripe for skeeters.. Anyone have any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waltermitty Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Where were we talking about getting together? I can't find it now. Here's a lead Kelly R. brought up, never been there myself: Elephants Run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mactiger Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) FYI: there are 37 entries in revolver division as of today. That's enough for 3 squads plus 4 other entries. Someone asked earlier about squadding: I'm working that right now, but we are still waiting on some last minute wait-list entries, so it will probably be at least the 28th of August before squads are posted. I'm going to try to honor all your squadding requests, but there are a lot of you wanting to shoot together. Good luck, Troy Edited August 22, 2007 by mactiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerosigns Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Doug - Sucks you can't go. Do you need us to write some stern letters to your supervisors. WM - T Mainus and I are riding the motorcycles down. It's your state - make the weather nice. Also, anyplace you guys want to get together I'm in for. Remember last year though how all the people were going to show at the place in Hannibal. Instead there were 4 guys sitting at a table for 30. Troy - It sounds like squadding this year will be as good or better than last year. 2006 was nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mactiger Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Troy - It sounds like squadding this year will be as good or better than last year. 2006 was nicely done. Well, at least for the revo guys it's not too hard. Most everyone has requested simply "other revolver shooters" or named people that actually are entered in the match. A short tale from the Open: I had a bunch, like 20 or so, requests to shoot with "Bob Jones" (not his real name), with the note, "traveling together" to boot. So, I figure this guy must be driving the bus they chartered to get to Missoula, right? I asked my assistant match director about him, and he says, "Oh, Bob. Yeah, he's local". So, who's name do I see on a squad request for this match? Yep, good ole "Bob Jones". 'Cept he ain't entered. I think it's just automatic. Anyway, I'm working on the squadding now. We're still adding in some wait list folks, but it's progressing. Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
