dirty whiteboy Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I sure hope that the bad weather holds off--R you going to shoot in any weather I do believe it is a rain/shine/sleet/cold/snow/hot match! I'm sure there will be hot chocolate served, so we have that going for us!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I'll be there toys in hand. This is going to be fun, and I have been awaiting this match for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Suber Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 6 of the 7 stages are set-up. We'll set up the last stage tomorrow (I had 20 volunteers on the range this morning!! Thanks Linda!!). I apologize for not getting the stages posted. I have been swamped with work and just did not have a chance to post them. We will shoot rain or shine. I just saw a report calling for 20% chance of rain Saturday, mostly in the afternoon. So, hopefully we can "dodge that bullet." So far, we will be giving 2 guns away (a Mossberg Rifle and a glock Certificate). Sam Conway will not be able to make it to the match Saturday. But he will call me with the name of the winner of the American Shooters Edge Match Challenge Drawing. I will continue listing our sponsors as they sign on. Please remember to thank them for their support and generosity in support of this charity event. Also, if you or anyone you know would like to sponsor the match, please let me know. 11/19/09 - So far, we have the following sponsors: Mossberg Firearms SV Chris Paty Winning Shooting Supplies Redding Reloading Protechco - Manny Bragg GTUL USPSA Brownells Ironmind Red Dot Shooting Sons Of Nemo Glock Wislon Combat Zero Bullets Target Barn Starline Brass Mid-Carolina Rifle Club (donating a Glock Certificate) American Shooters Edge Blackhawk Products Group Techwear I will be adding more as they come in. See you soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the round count still about 180? I plan on bringing about 400 rounds, but I was curious to know how many to expect to use (minimum). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly, the round count is either 187 or 197. Sorry, I am a little brain dead right now. One thing I recommend (a little trick I use for hunting) - I buy the ThermaCare back heat packs for shooting and hunting in cold weather. It is a chemical heat pack (like the hand warmers) that you put at your mid-section. They have two kinds - one that you can stick on a shirt or another that has a gauze belt that wraps around your mid-section. This does wonders at keeping your core warm. I keep them with all of my hunting gear. They work for about 10 hours. See y'all Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Oooooo.....I just looked at the forecast for the match. I'll have a reason to break out my Under Armour Coldgear! Yea!!!! I would wear gloves, but I figure the heat coming off of my revolver will keep them warm. Time to bring out the heavy loads!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Suber Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 OK. Stages are done. I think everything is ready. I am going to post pictures of the stages on Facebook shortly - I don't have any other place to post them right now. If you are on FB, go to the 8th Annual Tim Daughery Toys for Tots Memorial Pistal Match. Look forward to seeing everyone in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbosik Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 aprox $3400.00,,was a great match, thanks to all,,great stuff!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Suber Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) Well, I have had my steak and a few beers. I think I have thawed out... So, I will provide a report: Another one is in the books. Thanks to everyone who braved the weather - we actually got lucky. We had a total of 90 competitors. We raised $3045 at the match and collected a total of 152 toys. Linda has approx $800 in donations to add to the amount collected at the match for a total of $3845.00. The # of toys and cash were down this year probably because of the lower attendance #s. Again, thanks to everyone who supported this cause and thanks to the Marines of the 4th LAR for running the program in S.C. Here are the Match Winners that I can remember: Open - Clint Upchurch LTD - Dewey Hutson L!0 - James Smith Production - Tod Litt Revolver - Devon Penrod SS - Paul Hendrix Our Sponsors: Mossberg Firearms SV Chris Paty Winning Shooting Supplies Redding Reloading Protechco - Manny Bragg GTUL USPSA Brownells Ironmind Red Dot Shooting Sons Of Nemo Glock Wilson Combat Zero Bullets Target Barn Starline Brass Mid-Carolina Rifle Club (donating a Glock Certificate) American Shooters Edge Blackhawk Products Group Techwear American Shooters Edge Millenium Custom PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take a moment to thank our sponsors. They were very generous in these tough economic times. I also want to recognize all of my volunteers from Mid-Carolina Rifle Club. They helped set-up, they helped run the stages, and they helped tear down the stages after the match. Everything was cleaned up and stored by 4:00 p.m....just as it started raining...In the past, I had to be at the range first thing Sunday morning to clean up. These guys are great! One final note - Sam Conway could not make the match so he told me that he would email me the name of the winner of the American Shooters Edge Match Challenge - so I could announce it at the match. We wrapped up the awards and Lee King asked me if I had announced the winner....I had completelhy forgotten. I pulled out my Blackberry and there was Sam's email...I couldn't believe it....I handed my Blackberry to Lee so that he could read the email with HIS NAME listed as the winner!!!!! How cool is that! Hats of to Sam for such a cool program. Sam had over 110 shooters sign up for the Challenge, with over 700 entries in the drawing. I hope he conitnues it next year! I hope everyone made it home safe and I hope y'all have a great Christmas! Please remember the men and women (and their families) serving in our military during this holiday season. Thanks again!

High Lord Gomer Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 The amount of work that the gals and guys at Mid Carolina put into the matches really pay off for those lucky enough to attend. The planning and work that goes into setting up stages of that quality is incredible. I know most people think that getting results and awards out is easy "because the computer does all that", but I had the pleasure of getting to watch Linda and Julie do an awesome job of managing volunteer help with little to no experience. Thankfully I'm close enough to benefit from all of their hard work most every month (yes, their monthly matches are that good, too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LChico Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Thanks to everyone who attended the 2009 Tim Daugherty Memorial Toys for Tots Charity match & who worked so hard to make this match a success.
