Mark, I had seen your announcement for this and it seems like it would be fun. Tuesday is already pushing it for me so moving my departure to Saturday would probably not work. A few years ago I was working a program that brought me to Ft. Huachuca monthly but that is now over so I can't come up with a good "work-related" reason to get out there that early! Enjoy the match!

yoshidaex Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 So its getting close and I have a few questions regarding the Wednesday match at SGC and the Thursday match up at Ben Avery. Is there a maximum number of shooters that can shoot the match at SGC and Ben Avery? I don't want to show up and be turned away due to having too many shooters. What sort of match is at the Ben Avery range? All paper, paper and steel or all steel only? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall anyone getting turned away but I guess it could of happened. The CCL match at Ben Avery is (I think) a USPSA match.

dbltapipsc Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 The thursday match at Ben Avery is a time off for A zone scoring. It starts at @ 1900 hours and you can sign up later than that as well. Steel and paper, box to box and static shooting. Also at Phoenix Rod and Gun on thursday @ 1700 hours steel match. Shoot Phx Rod and Gun, then head up to Ben Avery for their shoot. Thats what we have done in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engage steel from within shooting area type match or is it mostly stand and shoot and box to box like Ben Avery? I wouldn't mind doing both matches but I don't want to run my squad mates tired before the big match. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimE That would be the incorrect place to register for the match but the lobster dinners may be nice. You may want to try this format: +33° 29' 19.13", -111° 37' 22.47" Hiro, I have been told that Thursday Night Steel is run the same was as Tuesday Night Steel (TNS=TNS ) Shooting area sort of match sort of like SSA without the sillyness. Rick B. shot it last year so you can talk to him on Saturday. Later, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Tim - Depending on where you're staying, here are some BASIC directions: - Get to Usery Pass Road and take it north from 60 (N Ellsworth Road). - After McKellips, start paying attention - It'll be on your left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZGunut Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Hi there, The match that we run here at SGC generally doesn't have a maximum number of shooters. We generally have a cutoff time to register (Usually 6:00 but to be safe try to get here by 5:30 to 5:45) reason that we run a cutoff time is that we only have two full bays to run the 4 stages (3 stages and a classifier) We will run all the shooters on the first two, then turn over the stages and run the next two. If you are one of the first shooters on the first two stages you may have a bit of a break before the last two stages, but you can always walk around the store, harrass your friends etc. We generally start shooting at 5:15 but if we can manage it we will try to fire the first shots a little earlier than that. As always it is $15.00 for non-members of the club and $12.00 for SGC members. Round count should be right about 100ish but alwys bring a few extra in case of a re-shoot, etc. Any other questions feel free to PM or e-mail me and I will help you out anyway I can.

Tim Egan Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Guys, it was a joke that was a little too deep. My coordinates were for Purgatory, he sent me to h*ll. Looks from the maps that the range is easy to find, thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
