markm Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Called the A4 director this week.He said that he would probably have the match application posted soon. :roflol: I still have some swamp land in Louisiana for sale.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer-lock Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 There will more than likely be three squads shooting all day Friday and two squads shooting all day Saturday and most shooting half days Friday and Saturday. Sunday will be for shoot offs and awards. Thanks Bill, I will need to make some adjustments for that contingency. David C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatland Shooter Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 There will more than likely be three squads shooting all day Friday and two squads shooting all day Saturday and most shooting half days Friday and Saturday. Sunday will be for shoot offs and awards.I've negotiated $65/night for the shooters at the Rodeway Inn 2502 W. Loop 306, Phone # 325-944-4373. Mention USPSA for the reduced rate. Registration will probably be at the Rodeway if I can get access to their meeting room. Bill, Will squadding be on the USPSA website? I need to figure what nights for the hotel. Thanks.

bpowe Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I emailed Rob Boudrie to give him a heads up and asked Bill Lane to be ready to do online reg from the Area 4 webpage, but Kenneth is the one who has to actually request activation of these services. I'll call him tomorrow and see how he wants to handle it. Stay tuned... I hope the 50 rooms I blocked at the Roadway is sufficient. $65/night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Capizzo Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 50 rooms maybe way to many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpowe Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hi Al! Long time, no hear from. Well, if the rooms are not claimed by a month before the match, they'll just revert to being available to anyone, no biggie. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hello: Gee thanks Kevin you are always so helpful------usually I am just trying get ready to go to this match since it will be my first Area match. There are a bunch that want to go from Corpus. I guess we will wait and see. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 The San Angelo guys put on a hell of a show. I already made my hotel reservations I guess we can just sign up the day of the match, since getting Hicks to approve an application (even one typed up by someone else) is an exercise in futility Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can send both just about anywhere in two (2) minutes. David C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Those nice San Angelo guys built one and sent it to Hicks for his "approval" weeks and weeks ago. He must still be...researching...it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Talked to Hicks a Minute ago (July 16th) he said San angleo Nov 14-16th Match Entry Form should be on the area 4 web site by this weekend. Said Waynes got it and they just need to change a few things and get it over to bill lane to post. Tick Toc TIck Toc Tick Toc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is customary to wait this long for the application? Is this an advantage for some reason I do not see? Sorry for my ignorance on the matter.

Chuck Anderson Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 No it's not usual for area matches, or big matches to not have an app out this late in the game. However, it is usual for Area 4. And no, there is no advantage to waiting this long to put an app out, quite the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's put it this way - there's a reason I'm going to A2 rather than stay relatively local to shoot my home Area match... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGentry Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I cannot tell you how frustrating it is not to be able to make "for sure" plans for our area match. I am sure there is a reason for the delay I am just not sure what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hello: If they wait toooo long people will start making other plans to go on vacations etc. I am giving them the benefit of the dought that they know what's the right why to do a match. I do know that with gas prices and other things going on that many may not go on short notice or will choose to do a match closer to home. Please, let us know as soon as you can.

murkish Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I had this one on my calendar as my first area match, but I have taken it off at this point for a several reasons. 1) Too much uncertainty. 2) Travel costs. (Eric is right. Gas costs are a major issue.) 3) I only have so many "whole-weekend" credits with the wife and my section is planning an RO certification class for the first weekend of November. I'll do that and shoot my November club match instead. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralChang Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I just spoke with Ken Hicks about the match and they are actively working on posting a match application soon. There's a lot of speculation as to how the match is going to turn out but I assure you that if the San Angelo crew has anything to do with the match it will be nothing short of stellar. I don't think I have ever shot a crappy match in San Angelo. I am excited that they changed locations for this very reason. Be patient, it'll be worth it.

Be patient, it'll be worth it. +1 They have the venue (lots o' space) They have the experience (they did the first annual Caveman One-spear Championship) They have stuff (I think they invented the roller coaster) They have the folks (and lots of them) They WILL put up a great match. "They" are "The guys and gals from San Angelo...working their tails off to build a hell of a match."

Wakal Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 There is no "they" in the process. There is one man. The Area 4 Director, Ken Hicks. The guys and gals from San Angelo are working their tails off to build a hell of a match. The problems with that match all belong to one man. Call him and politely ask him why he hasn't approved the application.

GeneralChang Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) Alex, please tell me you're going to have some input on the match. Also, when is the real Texas 3 gun match going to happen again at Bullethole. What's the hold up? Edited August 8, 2008 by GeneralChang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
