Turtle Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Looking forward to coming, it's always a great match. I may even get to fire my IPSC pistol, for the first time since last fall, before I come. Wouldn't that be great?!?! See you all there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMcCracken Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) This is the range I grew up shooting at before I knew anything about USPSA. I miss having a great range to go to. Of course, then Blackwater ruined me when I was in Norfolk. It's all down hill from there, and I only got to shoot there once a month. Wish I could join you guys. I do seem to remember it gets muddy at South River Gun Club if you catch it during the wrong weather. Editted for pronoun clarification.

ima45dv8 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Not any more. The ranges were covered in small gravel a few years back. More than a few of us were wishing for such a range surface at the Nationals last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMcCracken Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Ah, that is a blessing indeed. My folks live down that way, still. I'm going to have to plan a visit around a competition some time and drag my dad out to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamingoddess Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 For anyone that shot at A6 for one day last year, about what time were you guys packing up? I'm trying to see if it's a realistic goal to leave right after the match and go straight to Virginia on the same evening (before midnight)...

kgunz11 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 When you get finished shooting on Sunday, it's real easy to walk to the car and drive off. I think we left around 2:30 last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddy_fuentes Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 What kind of weather can we expect. Trying to figure out what to bring. Four Louisiana boys shooting on squad 3 (all day Sat.) We are staying at the Hampton Inn. Buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgunz11 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 60% percent chance of rain forecast for Friday. In Georgia, "April showers bring May flowers". http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/USGA...pnav_undeclared Safe to plan for temps that reach mid to upper 60's for the high and down in the low 40's for a low. While it could get above 75, I don't see much chance of it. Though stranger things have happened, like this in South Alabama on the 1st of March: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ima45dv8 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 In appreciation for the substantial up-tick in business, the match hotels have installed (at considerable expense) state of the art real-time weather monitoring devices for the Area 6 competitors. Stop by the weather station located near the front entrance for a quick before heading to the range. "The Weather Rock" If rock is wet, it is raining. If rock is green, it rained a while ago. If rock is white, it is snowing. If rock is shaking, there is an earthquake. If rock is dry, the weather is fair. If rock is swinging, it's windy. If rock is warm, the sun is out. If rock is not visible, it's dark outside. If rock is under water, there is a flood. If rock is gone, there is a tornado (Run!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boz1911 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) Helped set up a few stages today, makes about 5-6 that are ready to go. I have to work until Thursday which is about how long it will take for my hands to stop hurting from sledgehammering steels into the damn bedrock. The stages that are ready are looking good.!!

Lexor40cal Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I have a question, why did you guys make field of steel so much easier this year.....well compared to last year. Looking at it there is only one 8 shot array. The hardest part looks to be the plates waaaay back there. Not saying it looks easy just looks easier than last year. Stage 1 (Field of Steel II) will be challenging in different ways this year, there is some long shots on small steel, but it is also carved up so round count is also an issue, there may only be one position with an 8 shot array, but some of the arrays will take 8+ rounds, even though less than 8 targets. I will make it a challenge, but also shootable for the less skilled shooter too. Don't really want anyone running out of mag's or rounds this year, but I suspect it will still happen.
