Still Praying Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I would realy love to see a list of sponsors here, so I can make sure to thank them when I'm buying from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzworm Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 THANK YOU! to everyone involved. ROs, stats, match staff, the fine men and women in service that reset, everyone. I was fortunate enough to be on squad 18, with old friends, and new, plus a real, live American hero. It was an honor to shoot with this young man, and I am privileged to call him my friend. Prize table was great, and thank you, but the folks are what make FB3G what it is. Thanks to all. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickpony Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) First FB3G! Had a great time seeing friends and Squad 13 was lots of fun! Unfortunately, I was one of several unlucky shooters that learned a lesson on Stage 7 Thanks to all involved with putting on the match! It looked like a lot of fun...

trickpony Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) Yep, everyone got the shirt if they had enough shirts printed... I believe stage 7 ended the match for most. Edited December 8, 2009 by trickpony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Bond Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 With this one, there are now 1033 posts. With the same effort we could all lobby AMU for the 2010 match to be 12 stages over 4 days with 500 shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShooterSteve Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I wonder how many people would go if there was open registration? If Linda isn't sick of this thread, maybe she will let us know how many people ended up on the waiting list. I had a hard weekend, I didn't sign up because it was our 25th wedding anniv. Then our son's soccer team signed up for a tournament that weekend, so we couldn't do the anniv thing anyway. Guess where the tournament was- Atlanta. We drove to Atlanta, and I sat there all weekend, knowing what was going on just "right over yonder". It kinda hurt a little. That's why there has to be at least one more...

Jadeslade Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Great match. Great squad (11) with just truly great shooters. Thanks to Sgt. Hampton and the entire AMU. Thanks to Daniel Horner for designing a great shirt. Thanks to all the Ft. Benning personnel, the volunteer RO's and the Rangers for being great at running the stages. Thanks to all the sponsors for contributing. And a special thanks to Linda Chico, who helped us all out. All the shooters and staff were supportive, the camaraderie was evident, the esprit de corps excellent. Send a letter to the Commander if you like what the AMU does and how they represent us - I do. I am very proud of these soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn-rgr Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Brian,It was good seeing you there. It sounds like you had plenty of stimuli during the drive home, ours was less interesting except for Chad's wet pant leg. Never stand in front of Ruf while he is relieving himself on the side of the road. Dude has a stream like a 5 year old!!! Never let Phelps navigate or walk the prize table alone. Other than that, team Adams Arms made it home safely. Congrats to Ruf for being high military. It was good to see old friends and meet new ones. Squad 12 was a great bunch of folks (even you Tate) and had a great squad mom (thanks LT). Great match and hope they do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan 45 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 A 4 day match would kill the staff. But, maybe by showing our gratitude we can lobby for another 9 stages for '10. This was my first FB3G- and it lived up to all expectations! Stage design was great, even #8 which at first glance seemed like a pain in the ass. Stage 2 was almost as fun to watch as it was to shoot! My favorite was #1- but only because I won it in my division. I was really happy w/ my time on stage 7, until I found I drilled the no-shoot on rifle target #3- TWICE. Thanks to the AMU, Ft. Benning Command, RO's, all the wonderful men and women of the US Army that helped out, sponsors, and fellow shooters for making this a great match. I didn't know anyone on Squad #17 before the match, but had a wonderful time with this group of guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Another excellent match!!! Outstanding. Many, many THANKS to AMU, Linda, ROs, stats, and all of the rest that made this match possible. Also, THANKS to all the sponsors that provide such an outstanding prize tables. Hope there's a year 6 and beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Thank you AMU. Thank you US Army. Thank you Linda and staff and thank you all the ROs and other volunteers. I am hopeful that Ft. Benning will happen again. We all need to write to the commander and let him know how much this means to us. The comments from some of the military guys I heard were that this IS RELEVANT! They want to take back what they did at the FB3G to their respective units and use it for training. That is what will determine if we get to go forward. Send out an Email to Sgt. Hampton and to any others that you have an email for, ask them if they'd forward your comments if you don't have a contact. Also, and this is equally important, send out thank yous to all the sponsors regardless of what you got off the table. The list is in the match book and there is a link posted above somewhere.

uumikew Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Linda told me that there were only 1 or 2 shooters on the list on Friday morning and 1 of those looked like they would make the match. I wonder how many people would go if there was open registration? If Linda isn't sick of this thread, maybe she will let us know how many people ended up on the waiting list.

AlamoShooter Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Yep, everyone got the shirt if they had enough shirts printed... I believe stage 7 ended the match for most. What was the problem on Stage 7??? the only thing I can remember as a small issue was the reload to the last hand-gun position. But that seemed like a nobrainer even for me.

Scout454 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Starting in the harness, using all three guns and ending the stage with six rollover prone shots - a position most shooters never shoot, let alone practice. You guys should thank God you shot stage 7 after we did. Our first stage Thursday Am at 0-dark-thirty in the mud. After the third shot I was blind. It was "painful" scraping sandy mud off of a $1200 lens and prescription glasses so I could see targets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
