reneet Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Man, tropical storm Erin is sending rain into Texas.Will it make it to Breckenridge? How exciting. At least I can stop dreading the horrendously hot temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterLefty Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 If everyone brings their raingear we may force enough jui-jui to keep it away. Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer-lock Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 If everyone brings their raingear we may force enough jui-jui to keep it away. Kenny Yeah...I think that worked at Double Tap this year. David C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Yeah...I think that worked at Double Tap this year. David C True. There was a wall of thuderstorms and rain during the match that started about 30 miles west of the DTR and extended into New Mexico and into the Panhandle as I recall from the weather radar on TWC. The problem with Erin will be just where the rain goes as it hits and rides the high presure ridge north and northeast.

Catfish Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hate to bring up the "R" word, but it would probably be prudent to bring rain gear.... Intellicast is calling for 80% chance today and 60% over the weekend.... We cannot catch a freaking break! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpowe Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) The ROs got dampened Friday... but the competitors all shot Sat and Sun without having to don any raingear at all! Temp hovered around 80 or so. Let's all remember the mass Ju Ju trick! I'VE shot better but I don't remember ever shooting any better stages. All you guys that couldn't make it missed a great match.

lppd4 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Great match!! What a field, I was embarrased by my place 66th, I thought I shot a pretty solid match (for me) and ended up barely in the top half of limited. I shot about the same last year and was 41st a little more to my liking, getting older slower and fatter I guess. Anyway we had a great time.

tpcdvc Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 The two of us that made it from TN had a great time. Thanks for all your hard work. I understand now why this is such a popular match. See you next year, TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reneet Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Shot Sat and Sun without having to don any raingear at all! Temp hovered around 80 or so. Let's all remember the mass Ju Ju trick! Worked again! Good job everyone. That had to be the best weather I've ever seen for the TSLC over the 12 years or so that I've shot it. It was gorgeous which is not something you can usually say about the weather around Breckenridge in August. Special Thanks to Jimmy, Artie, David and all the crew for another fantastic Texas State Limited Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgtsvi Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Great match Jimmie, Artie, and David. I had a blast shooting with my new Team Infinity shirt and learning from Henning and the excellent shooters from north of the border. We had great weather and an incredible time in the motel parking lot when BigD and I fired up the grills on Friday and Saturday. There are no finer people in the world to spend quality time with than shooters. See you all at the Nats. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJPoLo Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I had a great time. Who could believe that weather??? My only major criticism of the match is that I, personally, really prefer the three day schedule: Shoot six stages Friday, six stages Saturday and have awards, etc. Sunday morning. IIRC, that's the way it was in 2004 & 2005. I'll be back next year. -Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlmiller1 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Chet, It was a 3 day match but if I remember correctly, you shot all three days. Half a day both Friday & Saturday, then you either started 8:00am Sunday shooting or 10:00am Sunday shooting. If you shot Friday morning, then you shot afternoon Saturday or vice versa. The awards weren't over any earlier than this way & it cost an extra night in a hotel. Now, if it had been so you could choose to shoot Friday afternoon, all day Saturday & a little on Sunday, that might have worked for me but you couldn't choose. One extra night in the motel, one more full day off work. I don't think, even as great as this match is, that I could have continued to attend. It was a great time, wasn't it? Best weather I've seen in the years I've shot this match. MLM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
