larry cazes Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Yeah, but I do kind of miss the angst, anger and sniveling of past days... I sure don't! Nice to be able to plan this far ahead, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KalaniLaker Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Sorry if I am out of my lane. Noob shooter mistake. Another shooter said that there are drops from time to time. Thought it would not hurt to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it would not hurt to ask. Pop, Best bet is to contact Barb directly. You can get her phone number from http://www.riopractical.com Just follow the links to the Area II Desert Classic. You could PM her here (AZ Stats Chic) but it may be better to just call. There is probably a waiting list by now. If you can get in, you won't regret it!

larry cazes Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 This is the 3rd year we will be there but is the first that we didnt have to get on the waiting list. Get on the list and you will probably make it in as there are usually those who drop out by late summer. Listen to ChuckS, he is a smarty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRe Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 No stages, yet. This is my first A2 - do they publish squad lists ahead of time, etc? Just curious what time I'm going to be showing up on the first day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viggen Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 As for early or late, early starts about 6:45 - 7, or thereabouts. Late is after the sun comes up. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 How does it usually work out? Shoot a couple of stages, then the other rotation shoots a couple, then shoot a couple more and done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I went for the first time last year. The shooting schedule was a bit different than I had seen anywhere else. The prize table is BIG. They want to get shooters exposed to the vendor tent, to keep the vendors happy. (I believe). As I recall, my first shooting rotation was an afternoon squad. BUT, we shot one stage before lunch...then went to lunch and vendor tent (lunch and vendor is two rotations). After that, we shot a handful of stages in the afternoon. The next day was the opposite. We shot at the break of daylight, up through lunch and vendor, then shot one stage after lunch. (Or, something like that. No clue how they will do it this year.) Apparently, there is a memory stage or two every year. Scout them or lose points!! Here is my AAR from last year: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...4&hl=Area+2 (the biggest part of my report is on post #57 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ38super Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) Just a reminder, last years schedule means nothing for this year. The squad schedule is set each year based on stage designs and time required for each shooter. A ton of work goes into these calculations to provide a smooth running match schedule. It will be posted you must be calm and wait for it, there is plenty of time still. Edited September 18, 2008 by AZ38super Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjb45 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 IMHO, A2 is the best run match in the country. They do put a lot of work into the stage design and arrangement. They may get one stage where the squads may back up but for the most part, the know how long each stage will take to shoot and reset and plan accordingly. That said they do get complaints. The year they had four memory stages in a row with no walk through the night before. That changed the next year. The fireman's pole was interesting. I think 56 people zero'd the cart but almost all said they wanted to do it again. Barb is usually very very good about letting people know what squad they are on. You can always shoot her an email. It is just too soon yet. She usually notifies this forum in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'm going to put this match down on my schedule for 2009 since I dont think I'll be going back to Tulsa. Can hardly wait to see some of the pics & video from this years match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
