iggyort Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 A little over two months to go and still no word on the waiting list. I think I am #18 and I'm starting to get worried. It has been two months and no movement . I am worried too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rduckwor Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 When can we expect round counts, etc? With the ammo shortage and my work schedule, I'm getting a bit concern about covering the bases for ammo. Way back somewhere in this thread (page 14) is the round count from last year. I doubled that and stashed it in a box. Well, not quite 2x birdshot and about 4x slugs. The rules say "Thou shalt not use buckshot upon penalty of DQ" or something like that, so no buckshot. Lee Thanks. I'll go back and get the numbers. Time to crank up the Dillon. RMD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike P Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 So, is this year's match going to be using the very recently proposed (on these forums) LARDO (limited and red dot only) division? It might get more participation in Limited than what there is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maineshootah Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 For those that have been there before.. is this a drive to each range with all your gear.. or park and haul? Stroller / gun carts / wagons ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianATL Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Park and haul in the past strollers wagons ok. But everything is mostly in a centralized location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout454 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Maine - The main range is comprised of 9 or 10 bays that are stretched out over 800 or so yards. There are generally two stages that will be off site and the AMU has provided transportation the past 4 years to those stages. You can not move your vehicle from stage to stage (there just isn't enough room) so you need some means of transporting your gear. I work the match and what I generally do is park close to whatever stage I will finish on that particular day and then work out of the cage. I rarely use a cart anymore preferring a medium size pack and a rifle case that will contain both my rifle and shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaoler Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 'Just heard from a friend of mine that despite securing a confirmation code somewhere in the 40's he's not gonna be able to make it to the match afterall... All you folks on the waiting list... Move up one notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMAC Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Has anyone on the wait list been notified. I am #18 and haven't received any notification yet. I've cancelled my work schedule on Thursday and Friday, which is costing a lot of $$$$. I don't mind missing it for FB3G, but if I dont' find out until a few days before and I don't get in, it will cost me as 'bout as much as that new Barrett 338 that I've been wanting to get. Buehler.......anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I am just waiting patiently (really I am, no really) for round counts and any possible stage information so I know better what to bring. Days off are scheduled, RV is tuned up. Wife and daughter OK with me being gone yet again. (Have to check in on that, I like being able to go, but I don't want them too happy to see me gone for a week, makes me wonder). Last year at two days was great, three days should be awesome.

HS101 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 With the Area 6 Multigun Championship in the books, my sights are firmly set on this event. Can't wait for more info. After watching people on the stage I was R.O.'ing (Stage 4, which involved pistol, rifle and shotgun), I realize how much I still have to learn, and how much I need to practice. It was almost like a clinic....... all be it a clinic that left me humbled... Watching some of the best in the country has left me with a lot to process... Can't wait to see y'all soon.... 8 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 8 weeks, 2 days and wake up till the shooting starts. or to put it another way, 58 days from now, I better have my butt in Georgia. Seems like only 10 months ago I was there.... Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Bond Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) For those of you on the waiting list, I have no official word of any kind. Having said that, I will observe that for any large match that you are going to have between 5 and 10% of those entered not be able to attend at the last minute for any number of reasons from the dog getting sick or the hamster passing away. The thing that I personally fear most is an important client calling me the day before and telling me that they absolutely have to have ______ done right now. IMO if you are now (since perhaps some have already dropped out and we just do not yet know it) at #25 or less you are going to get into the match but you might not actually get entered until registraion starts. And if you show up and if you do not get into the match, there is always fun things that you can do at the match like caddy for some of the big dogs. And if you are not the type to want to watch others shoot, making coffee for Linda could be a full time job.

HRider Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I think I was #16 on the waiting list in the last message from Linda. Since Linda is one of the busiest people in Practical Shooting, I just figured she was waiting to be able to clear several shooters from the waiting list in one swoop of the pen, so to speak. I have Hotel reservations, time scheduled off, and ammo set aside. All I need now is a confirmation number, money and talent for the match (but I ain't never let those last two stop me from showing up anywhere before ) DMAC: if you were ahead of me on the list, I would try to convince you to just give up on it now. ( just kidding, good luck to you) Hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMAC Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) I'm really hoping that when we have Thanksgiving at our house and I say grace that I will be able to give thanks to God for getting me off the waiting list and into FB3G for the first time. Until then, I'm just praying. Oh yeah....I pray for a lot more important things too. I don't want everyone here to think I have my priorities too messed up! I'll pray for you too Hurley Edited October 6, 2009 by DMAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid my participation may be limited to Sherpa duties as well.

Chuck Anderson Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I have a buddy of mine who just had to drop out as well so that's one more down. Linda just finished working the Ohio Sectional/IPSC Nationals this past weekend. I imagine well see some movement in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Sgt. Hampton said every match winner would get a Sherpa this year. And as a prosecutor, I am used to cops carrying all my stuff. So yes, you may. But you better get into better shape .....
