davidball Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) I decided that the information below was important enough to start a new topic. The host club (Wabash Valley Practical Pistol Shooters) for the 2007 Indiana Section Championship was notified last week that the land surrounding and partially encompassing our shooting range will be placed on the market for sale. This creates a great deal of uncertainty as to the status of our range for our match in June. Therefore, the match will be moved to the Atlanta Conservation Club in Atlanta, Indiana, site of both the 2004 and 2005 section championships. We are grateful to our friends at ACC for their willingness to accomodate the match. For further information regarding this unpleasant situation, go to our website. Besides the change of location, the move will cause two other changes. First, in order to be in compliance with ACC's agreement with neighboring homes, a slight adjustment in squad times has been made. Second, we will be able to add an additional stage! The original eight stages have been approved by NROI. We will submit the additional stage in the next day or two and will publish the match stages shortly thereafter. All competitors who have submitted applications for the match will have the opportunity to withdraw from the match and receive a full refund if the change of location adversely affects their ability to attend the match. Since the new location is just two hours from the original location, we hope this will not be the case. The change has caused the organizational team to retrace our steps in planning the match. We are working on identifying a new match hotel in the Atlanta area. We will post notification here when that process is complete. Updated information can be found at our match website: 2007 Indiana Section Championship Edited March 13, 2007 by davidball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Conley Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I just sent my application last week. I'll still make the trip but I don't know how many you'll get now from west Kentucky. Kinda stinks, we had about 10 or so probably coming. Chris C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that the Saturday afternoon session will not start until 2:00pm (finishing by 6:00) giving you plenty of time to get to the match from western Kentucky. The trip home might be kinda late but it will go quickly as you re-live the outstanding match you shot and debate with your travel mates whether or not you made the right choice on "Hoosier Hysteria" or choose the right sequence to get to the swinger on "Its Good".

Leave at 6 AM (your time), get to Indy at ~11 AM (our time), eat lunch, be at the range by 1 PM, shoot from 2-6 PM, head home - you're there by midnight (your time!!! Long day? Yeah, but definitely within reason, especially if you can trade drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidball Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 For those of you who wish to combine your shooting with camping: The White River Campground is at 11299 East 234th St., Cicero, IN. It is about 6 miles from the range. The phone # is 1-317-984-2705. Their web address is http://www.co.hamilton.in.us/parks_details.asp?id=2933. I'm told by those who have camped there that this is a quality campground right on the White River and the fishing is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidball Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) The match is currently about 2/3 full. The Saturday afternoon session is the most popular so if you want to shoot our match in that session I recommend you get your application to us in the next couple of weeks. The Sunday morning session has the most openings. I have not activated the USPSA self-squadding yet as I have been able to accomodate all squadding requests, no problema. This also gives me the flexibility to adjust squad sizes should a particular session become more popular than others (especially the Sat am versus the Sat pm sessions). Feel free to call or email if you have any questions. Indiana Section Website Edited May 2, 2007 by davidball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidball Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 I have entered all registered competitors into the USPSA self squadding system. At this point I have not unlocked the self-squadding so that registered competitors can move themselves around. This is my first foray into using the system and I just want to make sure I have done everything correctly. You can, however, view the squad assignments. I intend to unlock the registration this weekend. In the meantime, if you desire a change or I need to correct something, PM or email me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
