Charles Bond Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Gas is now $2.63 gallon and dropping making this the least expensive match travel wise in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Bond Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 For those of you coming from warmer climates, know that fall has struck in middle Georgia so you can expect slightly cooler in the north Georgia Mountains. You do not need the long underwear but long pants and a light jacket would be wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpty1 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 The bottom line is that if we end up with 150 shooters, and we will, about one in nine shooters are going to walk away with a gun, many of the rest with a really nice prize, and all will be shooting for money which everyone can use. If that is not good enough, there is a solid chance that you are going to get to shoot on the prettiest range in the area at the absolute most beautiful time of year with the guarantee of no bugs and a strong chance of NO SWEAT! Ah, a gambler at heart, figuring odds and counting cards. While the match is formally cash payback to winners, right now we have 13 guns with an additional $7000 worth of accessory products available as drawing prizes. Not sure how the match director is allocating everything, but there will be some split between competitor and RO drawing pools. There were about a dozen of us at the range setting up yesterday, and if we can order up the same weather for next weekend, it can't be any better.

mleeber Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Just spent yesterday and today from dawn til dusk with some great friends setting up the stages. What a great crew giving their weekend to this sport!!! This is going to be an awesome match! We still have some tweaking to do but things are coming along nicely. All entries received thru Friday have been entered and squadded so if you sent an app you should have seen your name on the squadding matrix. I hope to get an update tomorrow evening and will get any entrants received since Friday entered an listed on the matrix. Looking forward to a great weekend of shooting, fun, and fellowship!!! And let's not forget the moonshine!!!! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let's not forget the moonshine!!!! Mark Thanks for all your and the crew's work on this match. I hear everything'd coming along well! If you can believe weather foercasters (and I maintain it's the only job I ever heard of where you can be wrong 40% of the time and still draw a paycheck) the rain might be coming in early and could possibly visit you Friday shooters. Saturday is currently calling for a nice 52 in the morning with a mostly cloudy high of 63. Pretty much the same on Sunday except we'll start off around 42 degrees. After a hot summer I love Autumn in Georgia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
