AZGunut Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi everyone, I do have a question and am not sure if this is the right place to ask it? Most big area matches I have shot have larger squads and longer stage times (ie 15 people on a squad and 1 1/2 hours to shoot a stage in) Now how well do relativly small and quicks stages run (Are you always running behind) Not trying to start a fight just want to know what to expect.

EZ Bagger Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Unless there is some unforseen problem (like the steel 2 years ago) you are very unlikely to wait past your scheduled start time to get on a stage. It will move remarkably quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) (like the steel 2 years ago) NI-AG-ARA FALLS! Slowly I turned, step by step... Sorry I had a bad flashback. The match should run quite smoothly as usual though. No worries mate. Edited August 28, 2008 by Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer-lock Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) Squad 32 OL10, will definitely ROCK! I am delighted to get to shoot with such high quality folks. Some may not be thrilled to see me again...as I get somewhat..eh..vocal... when folks forget that we have the steel settingest, target tapingest squad on the whole damned range! Other than that I am a pretty laid back kind of guy. Looking forward to seeing you guys again. David C Edit to add: The line: "the steel settingest, target tapingest squad on the whole damned range" shamelessly stolen from Jerry Miculek who also had the best line from the 2007 nationals: "If you ain't wreckin', you ain't racin'."

shred Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Oh man, I'm on the infamous Squad 32 as well. Doom! Doom, I say! This is going to make getting to the range and back a beyotch since the riding-with somehow got misplaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgibson Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Any other BE'ers on squad 31 for the LPR or 4 for the L10 Open? Adios, TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Capizzo Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 This is frustrating for me. I had a slot to O/L10 that I gave up due to some issues at work. Now I'm going to go to Tulsa and just hope I find a spot. Its odd not seeing my name on that squad list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Historically speaking, Al, if you show up w/ checkbook in hand, you'll be OK... You might want to contact HQ or hit Troy (mactiger) w/ a PM and see what the likelihood is of getting in. Inevitably, there are a few no-shows for registration, so...

TRNinTX Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Al, We talked to Troy about this at Steel Challenge. BJ is going to have to do the same thing for Prod Nationals. Troy said they base the match on 12 shooters/squad so they can in theory take up to 36 walk-ons and there will always be no shows. Troy said he can't remember turning anyone down. However, you probably want to be there early and be in the first of the line for registration, just in case. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I know for a fact that both matches have at least one squadded shooter that will not be in attendance. (Not me by the way, I will be there) Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegirl Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Squad 10 for Open Division. Looking forward too the matchFlyin Squad 10 Open - looking forward to meeting you, Flyin40! I would apologize for my running buddies up front, but I hear you've met Dave (SgtSVI) already so you won't be too shocked. I guess we'll have to try to console XRe somehow since he got stuck with us against his will... I can't wait, it's going to be a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerwas Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'm in squad 11 for Rev/Lim/Prod nationals. I'm in squad 29 for Open/L10 nationals. Will be a good mix of sleeping in and having to get up early, fscing the sun in the am vs not having to worry 2 much about it. Any other BE"ers on either of those squads?

Tim Actually, I said we squad for 11 in each, which still gives us a little wiggle room above the posted cutoff. Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
