Mark Agerholm Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Friends, A registration form is now available for the 2003 Infinity US Open to be held in Reno NV October 10, 11, and 12th. Find a link for the form and an announcement for this match at: www.infinityopen.org There is an article about last year's Infinity US Open in the current issue of Front Sight, and I am sure that this year's match will be excellent as well.

ErikW Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Reno? Whoo hooooo! It's even closer than Vegas, and I heard a rumor it was going back east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBurkett Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Hey guys, if you didn't hear about this match last year, you need to go! It was incredible! I think SV gave away 13 custom guns! The stages were pretty cool too. It was a great, laid back match with an incredible prize table. The way it should be all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Olhasso Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 It sounds like a cool match with great stages and a fantastic prize table. Unfortunately all shooters shoot each day, and many people just can't justify 3 days worth of hotel, car rental, and at least some missed work for a non-nationals match.

PaulW Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 David, Um, last year we only shot on 2 days. Sat & Sun. It was a great match, very laid back and they supplied lunch everyday for not only the competitors but spectators as well. Prize table was nothing I have ever seen. Freindly staff and with their experiance it can only get better. Some where in these forums you may have read some constructive critisizm that I wrote. Matt and I went back and forth a little bit about a few things but it is well worth the travel and expense. I always tried to make it a point, even in my critisizm, that it was an awesome match and will be back this year. Find buddy that wants to go and split the expense.

grim death Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Is it three days of shooting or can it be shot two days ( sat & sun ) or is there a banquet on Sunday that limits the shooting to Fri & Sat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVI4ME Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I have to second Matt's response. Awsome match. Brought my wife and she even got lunch. I RO'ed a stage and they had a great RO prize table. A gun or two given at each lunch and a prize table for competitors that would choke a horse. I wish all major matches could be like this. Sure there was a problem or two, but no biggee. ALL matches have a problem or two. A must for me AGAIN this year. Leavin the wife at home though this year !!! Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattjoe Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I have to say justifying the expense for this trip is far easier for this match than a nationals. Last year's Infinity Open was certainly better than most of the nationals I attended. Less lost time because shooting days are occurring on mostly the weekend. Better location to fly to, Las Vegas air fare is much cheaper than say, Illinois, for most people in the country. More things to do when you're done shooting. Hotels are cheaper. SUPERIOR prize table, I think the cost of the trip for me was about 200 round trip air, another 100 for the car, and probably 170 for the 5 days hotel out there. No lunch expense because it was provided, and I came home with over $600 in stuff for prizes. The Infinity guys put on a great match Oh, and there wasn't any wasted day and time with a banquet. Shooting finished Sunday, and then there was lunch, and about an hour after was prize distribution. None of the waiting around doing nothing killing time so you can go to a banquet.

ErikW Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Lodging should be cheap if you shop around. Probably can't do a whole lot better than the match hotel's motel unless you get a dive... The match hotel is The Nugget, with two rates available - "The Towers" for $84 (Main Casino) and the Motor Court for $59 (not in the main casino). The range is about a half hour from town. Often windy and dusty. Sandy surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus The Bum Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 There is this truckstop in Reno where they have this HUGE gun collection. I'm talkin this guy has probably a thousand or more old pistols and rifles. This collection has guns that were owned by Roy Rogers, Elvis, The Duke and a bunch of old outlaws too. I spent about 2 hours in there looking at it one day. If I can ever remember the name of that truckstop, I'll post it because you cannot go to Reno without seeing this collection.

Jon Merricks Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Air fair looks like it will be around 400 from the east coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ong45 Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Rufus, I think the place where you saw all the guns is called sierra sid's. James Ong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Agerholm Posted July 28, 2003 Author Share Posted July 28, 2003 Rufus, I checked the link that you have mentioned with my computer and it does work, and I asked a few friends to try it as well and all were taken to the application form. Perhaps the settings on your browser prevents you from using the link with your computer. There are other links to the 2003 Infinity US Open and they may be found on the USPSA web site under Major Match Schedule, or on the Strayer-Voigt, Infinity web site (www.sviguns.com). If all else fails you can just type in www.infinityopen.org into the address line of your internet provider. I sense that this match will sell out, and I hope that you get in and have a great time in Reno!! Regards, Mark Agerholm Team Infinity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Mark, The link to the registration form may work. But, as soon as you try to submit the application, it fails. I tried it from 2 different computers on 2 different ISP's. http://www.infinityopen.org/ioreg.php comes back with an HTTP 404 Not found. The problem is on your end. How many competitors are registered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Agerholm Posted August 3, 2003 Author Share Posted August 3, 2003 Storm, Thank you for pointing out that there was a glitch with the on-line registration form. I am told that the form is back in action and is working properly now. In regards to the number of competitors being signed up, I would be hesitant to speak for the match director but I can say that registrations are coming along nicely. This will be an excellent and well attended match. I can report that the prize table will like last year be just enormous!! Everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) last year earned at least their match fee back in prizes. The stages and the shooting last year was great as well. I hope you can make it to the match.

Storm Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Mark, Thanks! I already sent in a paper application rather than waiting for the online app to work. So, I should be good to go. Ought to be a fun match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANDOWN75 Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 I just signed up for this match, I heard it's really great. I was wondering if anyone has any new info on it. It's almost a month away and I can't wait.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rboudrie Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 I will be posting directions to the range on the Infinity Open web site as soon as I get them from Dave Uchida. The squadding will be done about two weeks before the match (I have all the requests submitted with the applications) once Dave tells me how many squads and how many in a squad. We will have a confirmation letter out to all competitors (by US Mail) at least two weeks before the match. Signups are going well, arrangements with numerous sponsors have been made; and it should be a great match. And yes, there are still some slots left.

MANDOWN75 Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Anyone know what the weather is like out there in October. Im inquiring for what to pack, shorts, pants, sweatshirts. The match is next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
