uscbigdawg Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 If memory serves me, my load out was like: Rifle: 200 rounds Pistol: 100 rounds Shotgun: 100-150 shot; 15-20 slugs. Not bad at all. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gb32 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I just read this entire thread to make sure I haven't missed anything. To say that I am glad I am a staff member again this year would be a drastic understatement. To not have to sweat getting in is a relief. Looking forward to the match already. Good luck to everyone!

I think I have re-read the thread several times... This will be my first year and I am totally excited... Now I am just waiting for the check to cash and to get more info about the match (I hope the post office hasn't lost anything!!) ... December is too far away! BTW - has anyone noticed there are close to 14500 views?? Damn popular! Edited June 25, 2009 by HS101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who wants to guess how many pages it will be once we hit end of Nov 2009? This thread will run until Christmas. Because shooters here have told the world after the match what they missed, it has driven up demand for this match. Because we have more shooters allowed in the match in 2009 than ever before, the demand will again increase in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 the demand will again increase in 2010. 2010, are you telling us that there is a future? On another note, who has already reserved their lodgings? Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note, who has already reserved their lodgings? Jim Grasshopper: If you go back and read the threads from the past years, Aaron Hampton talked then about "if" AMU does another match. Based the success of this match and on his committment to 3 Gun as demonstated by his appointment to the NRA Three Gun Committee, I am confident that if the base allowe us access and Aaron is still at AMU, the match will go on.

recon215 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Yes, that was the ACTUAL round count for last year. And also as stated by Charles, many more rounds were shot by myself as well, many rifles rounds as a bolt action AR! That has been fixed, as if it makes any difference in my poor finishes at all. But hey, it's fun to be shooting still even if I can't seem to play as fast as the other guys that shoot more than my measly 2 3 gun matches a year. Looking forward to seeing old friends as well as a few new faces this year!

Bryan 45 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Jim, you bring up a good point on lodging. I looked over the FB3G website, but couldn't find anything on a match hotel. Is there one, or do we need to just make arrangements w/ a motel that's close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscbigdawg Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 On hotels, I don't believe there is one. However, there is a good Holiday Express not too far from the base. Understand that there is NOTHING, near the base that you want to stay at. Stay away from Victory Drive (i.e. the Days Inn and other hotels down there)....unless you don't mind getting your stuff stolen and cars broken in to. A little further drive is worth it.

Waiting for that "got your app & check" email! God bless the USPS! And the fact of the matter is the USPS loses very few pieces of mail. Usually, they are just delayed. That is why I am going by postmark dates and not the day it arrives in my hands. If anyone's application is significantly delayed, I'll deal with that on an individual basis (and Merlin Orr, Mike Seeklander and Jaysen Mauria can tell you how reasonable I have been in the past about delayed mail). I do have one little note from the Post Office about a shooter who sent an application "Certified." I apparently forgot to include that category in the list on the application: "No Priority, Express or Overnight Services." The reason for that message is because I have a job (my daytime real job that pays for my hobbies ). There is no one home in the daytime to sign for mail. So it will sit at the Post Office until I have a day off & time to go get it. And for my next major match, I will remember to add "postal services that require a signature."

M ammo Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I will be interested in knowing the match hotel. When I get the word that YES,, I'm in the match. I stayed in the barracks,, last time I was on Benning,, in 1987 I think.. my name was N107.. Funny the things you can remember. Jim M ammo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think we have signed a contact yet. We have a number of things to include in a contract besides the best price on rooms we can get: the hotel must accept shipped ammo to hold for shooters who are registered guests. They have to provide space for registration on 2 nights. They have to hold separate rooms for staff. I think everyone in the AMU is out of town at the moment. I will pass on hotel info as soon as I have it. Linda Chico (L-2035) 2009 Ft Benning 3 Gun Statistician Edited June 25, 2009 by LChico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Nothing? I have been quite happy at the Econ Lodge on Victory the last couple of years. Based on what I see, Victory Drive is no better or worse than any other area of Columbus since the clean up of that area several years ago. I can also say that in the past when I have heard of guns disappearing in vehicle breakins, it has always been at a match motel. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiskey1 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Check the CPWSA.com Adventure travel section for info on "High Adventure" lodging for this and other prominent three gun matches. While I am one of the unnamed shooters that figure prominently in the reviews and get all of the inside jokes, Chris' commentary on lodging is great for a laugh for any shooter that hasn't seen it.

Since all the guns I know about that have gone missing are the really high dollar guns, you don't really want to know what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
