BayouSlide Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Great location for me...just a few hours north...but my step-daughter expects me to be at her wedding that is going to be held at our house the same Saturday. Since she was nice enough to schedule her October wedding to avoid the Gator Classic I guess I owe her one Wouldn't mind if it ended up in Louisiana again sometime down the road.

davidwiz Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Work. I would love to go. I'm hoping to be able to make it next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I would agree that the "area" or "driving" thing is not the reason, A very large number of us drive considerable distance to go to good matches.Trapr + 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busyhawk Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 To expensive to fly now...with airlines charging more for baggage and cost is just too much for this time of year. Hope the weather is great for all that are going:-) Now I will make it to the Blue Ridge match in KY next year...I like the scoreing and ranges (Rifle distances) and natural terrian better...more to my strong points.

Chuck Anderson Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Cost is a factor for me. The main reason though is USPSA puts on boring Multi-Gun Nationals, IMHO. I have yet to shoot a MG Nats, or a 3-Gun Nats before that was fun. SMM3G used to put on a really fun one, now it's gotten OK. SOF/WC3-Gun put on some that were a real blast, but no more. RM3G puts on the perfect match, if they would just quit scheduling it so that I can't go. Ft. Benning is the only one that I'm going to get to this year that I think will be REALLY fun. The combination of natural terrain and distance at RM3G makes the match for me. That's why I used to like Rio until they did away with the gully run at the end of the range and replaced it with, normally very boring speed shoots. And, I think, for 2 of the last 3 years they've had to throw out one of the long range stages, normally which ever one I did the best at. At Benning it's the awesome stage designs and the Army toys we civvies don't get to play with. If they would quit holding MG Nationals on pistol ranges, I would probably be more than happy to go. Until then, I think I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reneet Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I was originally planning on shooting but got an entry form with $ 50 off to the LA Sporting Clays Championship. I'm heading down to Jennings, LA this weekend to shoot some clays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfly Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Just think you could be shooting with Benny and the Crew how you change your mind . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rschoon Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Work. took to many days off during the year for other matches. My sponser (wife) said we should stay married to each other and me not marry the sport. My balance beam is just so wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cksh8me Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I shot the National in Reno. USPSA 3 gun National does not have a good FPD factor for me. Fun Per Dollar. This match has too many negatives for me. Distance, cost, low fun factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
