mike4045 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Just got in from the match. Some really interesting props. Looks like it will be alot of fun. I got to watch a few of the RO's go thru a couple of stages. Lots of different ways to shoot some of the stages. Staff did a great job on putting this one together. Looks like the weather will cooperate for Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZGunut Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Am sitting at airport and just checked the weather. It says HIGHS of upper 30's, rain, snow flurries and high winds. All we need is a tornado and we are set! Guess the weekend shooters are getting screwed :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninefan Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Heck, that sounds like good weather! I'm coming down from Oklahoma where it's gonna be *worse* this weekend (5-10" of snow anyone?)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob D Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I think I had more fun today than I have ever had shooting a match. Great stages, awesome RO's and lots of sunshine. Thanks to everyone who was involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerwas Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) If only we could get Bob to negotiate with mother nature as well as he designs stages..... If we could it would be a balmy 75 degrees with no humidity and the sun a shinin' on all of us. It is warmer here in Minnesota than it is down in Texas and we have nothing but sunshine out the door. Why does seem like the last 4 years the weather pattern has done the same thing? REALLY nice a few days before the match, then the days of the match WAMM-O then a few days after the match is REALLY nice once again? Bob, come on how could you tick off Ma nature that bad?

Sean.McCanne Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) Drove back up to OKC last night before the weather hit, and I'm glad we did! It was nice to get to shoot in good weather but I would have enjoyed shooting it just as much in this weather, too. Great props, fast fun challenging courses of fire and great people. Thanks to Robert, the staff and all the ROs! You guys put on an outstanding match and I'm glad I got to shoot it. I had a cold, tasty adult beverage for you all when I got home!

Last year I was an RO at DTC, for just a moment earlier this week I had regrets of not going, then I checked the weather, and thought older and wiser. Last year I saw shooters just quit go get in the car and drive off. Then you see someone wearing shorts and having a good time, go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pstmstr Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 It's miserable here today. 35 and wind chill about 10 with light blowing snow. The Friday shooters really got the luck this time. Robert says no more March Doubletap matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHA-LEE Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I shot the match yesterday and the weather was awesome all day. We got back to the hotel and a heavy rain storm hit out of no where. We headed back this morning and getting up to see blowing snow and a 17 degree wind chill made me cringe for the weekend shooters. Those guys are going to have it rough this year for sure. The roads heading north were pretty icey and we seen quite a few cars off the road in the ditch. There was even an 18 wheeler that jack knifed right in front of us when we were just north of amarillo. The match and stages were all great. Robert and his crew put a ton of effort into this match and it shows. I will be back again next year regardless of the weather. its that much fun!!!

Aircooled6racer Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Hello: I was wearing shorts last year on Sunday Craig was the one wearing the Kilt though. Updrafts are a bitch with a kilt Kinda refreshing as well Shooting in the wet and cold is just not fun. As I say it does not matter where in the world you are if it is cold and wet--it still sucks Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer-lock Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I decided early this morning that I didn't have any desire to spend the day in the field in this. Here in the city of Wichita Falls it is currently (3:40 CDST) 30 degrees with blowing snow and windchill of 11. Visibility is about 1/2 mile. The range is about 12 miles from here where the weather is probably a little heavier, as all of this is coming from the west. There was enough moisture this morning so that the footing is likely less than optimal. I am sure that those in attendance today will have some interesting stories to tell in a couple of hours. I doubt that there is a "good" date in April where the weather won't be a factor. Remember Space City last year? You pays yer money and ya takes yer chances.
