Exceptionally well run match, and great stages.Got to see alot of outside the box thinking on stages by shooters. Great job by all.

DougBarnes101 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Excellent Match!!! I want to thank everyone who worked this match to make it the great time that it was. Even with the high heat all of the match staff were pleasant and made sure that all competitors had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFoley Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 This was truly a great match. This was the most/best pre-match information ever available. The stages were awesome, the RO's were totally professional, and it was nice to get a prize when we signed in (what a great idea). David, hats off to you, great job to all involved. This was a lot of fun and I look forward to next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Conley Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Wow!!!! Great match. Truly one of the better matches that I have shot. Hat's off to the RO's and David Ball's son picking up the score sheets. He worked his tail off. Thanks again for all the hard work I hope you have it again next year. Chris C.

sniperdog Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I have been in this sport a long time and have to admit this was a truely great match. Worked as an RO on Sat. and all the shooters went the extra mile to thank us for working in the 90+ degree heat. I came back on Sunday to shoot the match and even after 3 days of being in the sun the RO's were great. Hats off to all of them and especially to David for putting this match together. He was not alone but just can't remember all the othrs involved, you know who you are THANK YOU for another great match. Can't wait for next year.

BSeevers Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 The match was run very well. I have to say this is one of the most friendly and better matches I have attended in a while. Kudos to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 This match was EXCELLENT! If you ever see David Ball in charge of a match - GO, you will not be disappointed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 David Ball and his lovely wife are two of the most gracious hosts that I have EVER encountered. I have been to some friendly matches, but the Indiana Sectional absolutely takes the cake. I simply cannot convey how much I appreciate all of the hard work that went into this match.

Sue and Sarah Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 This was our first time attending the Indiana Sectional and we had a great time. The match was run very well and even though it was hotter and muggier than the fringes of Hades, everyone was very friendly. A great bunch of folks. We'll be back.

Chris Keen Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Awesome match today. I've shot the Indiana Sectional 3 years in a row now, and it just keeps getting better & better. Hats off to David and Jane. You 2 were just wonderful to our gang, from the time we checked in yesterday, right up until the awards ceremony .... which by the way was very well organized. Great stages ... great staff ... great food ! All around a terrific match. Thanks for a great weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cheely Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Excellent match. Knew it would be after the quality of the Berm Aid match and Indiana State last year. Kudos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caspian_45 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Results are posted on the USPSA page. Congrats to all the winners. A BIG thank you goes out to all that made this match possible. It was good to see some old friends and make some new friends. I think I may bring a gun that holds more BB's next year. Shootin' Single Stack was tough at this match.

Matt Griffin Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 GAH, you people make me sick! I was set to go on Saturday, then work blew up and I had to miss this! How dare you have so much fun without me! H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 And let me just add that 4 out of the 6 (at least that I know) of the division winners were our very own! My congrats to: Flyin50 Pharaoh Bender Matt Cheely Caspian_45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckbradley Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 It was a very well organized match, the stages were fun and challenging. A big thank you for all that donated their time to make it happen. If anybody finds my responsible 17 year olds wallet please contact me. We believe he lost it on the range, maybe where we parked which was in the middle about 10 car widths from the road. I figure if it was on a stage somebody would have found it by now. Its only the second time in the last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Stevens Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Great match, but then I expect nothing less from David Ball and his excellent staff. Kudo's to the staff who worked the stages in brutal heat, and a bit of rain off and on. There are a few matches that should be attended every year. Indiana is one of those matches.

davidball Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Thanks for all of the kind comments about the match. The recipe is fairly simple. You find 35 or 40 of the best people in the sport, get out of their way when they know what they are doing (which is most of the time), provide a little guidance when they don't, marry an understanding woman (better yet, one who shoots), stir, and then bake in the Indiana heat at 95 degrees for 5 or 6 days.

dcarter Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Well, this was my first "Big" match and I have to say I had a great time. I hope they are all run as nice as this. I came in 3rd "C" class it's just too bad I didn't get one of those cool "wall hangers". Thanks to all the range staff for making my first match so easy to deal with. Now I have to get ready for Area 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidball Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 If anyone has any digital pictures of the match, I would appreciate it if you would email them to me. I took a few, had planned to take more, then the on-again-off-again rain came and I was too busy helping with bags to take any. One of our match directors is putting together an article for Front Sight and some additional pics would be helpful. daviddvcball@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck, I will be at the range on Sunday setting up for the monthly 3-Gun if you can give me a little better idea of where you parked I will look for the wallet. (i.e. middle of ranges , right end, left end, etc.). I think I remember you parked about 20 -30 yards from the drive and about 30 yards from the shooting bays, if that is close let me know and I will start the search on Sunday morning.
