9x45 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) USPSA 'El Prez' was talking to my shooting partner the other day about running the Nationals in Vegas, maybe October. Anyone else hear anything? Edited January 7, 2009 by 9x45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullauto_Shooter Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) Vegas would be a cool venue, but I hope that the MD and the home-office will address / implement the constructive criticism that emerged on this forum. The last MG Nationals in LA was a good state or regional shoot - but it didn't have a Nationals "feel". I, and many others, felt like it was a low-ball effort when compared to the various handgun Nationals. Think I'm gonna sit this years MG Nationals out - maybe shoot some of the bigger Outlaw matches - and see which direction the MG Nationals go. One tip for the next MD, don't hold your shooters hostage and make them tear down the stages before you announce winners and get to the prize table.

9x45 Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 FullAuto, I agree that the last one in Vegas did not pull out all the stops. They would have to be at least as good as Mystery Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 i shot the MG nats there a few years ago-i'd be there in a heartbeat. stay at the silverton (bass pro shops) and it's a heck of a road trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Since it looks like the HG nats are going to be there, I doubt the MG would too but we can hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtm Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I haven't heard anything about it, or from anyone about it. I guess it is all just smoke and mirrors untill someone sets in stone. KurtM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Religious Shooter Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Scuttlebutt says October at the other range (not the same range as in '05). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slip knot Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I have had the privlage to work two nationals in vages and would sure like to go again. Great range and the night life just goes on forever....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbs007 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Scuttlebutt says October at the other range (not the same range as in '05). Details on the Handgun Nationals thread. Desert Lake Shooting Club is a very nice facility indeed. Check it out Desert Lake Shooting Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasOPM Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Desert Lakes is a fantastic range with good facilities and super nice people. Jared Smith is the owner and a serious shooter in his own right (mainly clay games). I don't know if it will be open around the match time, but they have one of the best sporting clays courses I have ever seen. As for the setup, all I can say is that the MD is going to have a lot of very capable volunteers to work with to set up the place. There is a pretty solid group of shooters out here that really want to make both this and the Handgun Nationals work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4045 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I don't know if I will take a chance on another USPSA Nat. Multigun match. I wasn't very impressed with the last one. This trip will be a longer trip, but I do have to burn at least 5 consecutive days of vacation. I just found about this, almost a yr after I hired on. I don't think the old lady would let me go alone on this one. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LChico Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Copied from the thread on the USPSA Pistol Nationals, where speculation and rumor are also spreading rapidly. Linda Chico (L-2035) Columbia SC Not sure if this is "allowed" or taboo, but if I may I'd like to re-print something I just found on the USPSA forums .............. might help, might just help frustrate folks further. But either way it is the most "official" answer at this time.The November minutes have been posted.Some misc facts: We do not yet have a signed contract for the 2009 Nationals. USPSA will not announce a date or location until we have a signed contract. It's bad business practice to make such announcements when we *think* the details have been worked out. Waiting for a signed contract allows us to be *certain* the details and information are correct. Whenever an item of business that is time-critical is covered at a board meeting, the board routinely follows it up with a vote authorizing immediate release of that information (prior to publication of the minutes). I cannot imagine the board having a firm date (with contract signed) and keeping that information from the members pending release of board minutes.

davidwiz Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Can it be during the week of Halloween? I already have a scheduled Vegas Vacation that week with my gf. Though, if the 3G Nationals was the following month, it would be a very convenient excuse to go back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
