sperman Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) You should petition STI to make this a contingency match. I don't know how many people will be shooting a GP6, but if they do and win their class it would be a remarkable achievement.

joecichlid Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Just wondering, has the USPSA officially sanctioned this match yet? If so, Level II or Level III? I have a feeling this match is going to be a fantastic one for shooting photos and videos at. Joe W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navysteve Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 I plan on making a new update on the web page this week. But so everyone know I have been working hard on promoting the match by word of mouth. There are a few sponsors that are coming on board at the end of this month. My goal is to make more "local" matches in many states to promote the match to shooters. Things are on schedule, and I expect things to really take off after the Pro-Am. Check the web page Friday for the Summer update. Thank you Stephen R Hogg Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Cool. I'm keeping my eyes on the info. I rpobably should start getting serious about registering and travel plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joecichlid Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) Steve, I will see that our club's web master gets a link to the match added to our web site. Hopefully I can get several shooters from my area to sign up for the match. It should be a great time for all. Joe W.

Dixie Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I wish our group could make it but with it coming on the heals of Nationals, we can't afford to do both so close together. Good luck to those that do attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha-charlie Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I will be flying into Tulsa for this match and will have to check my gun with the airline. I'd drive but it's a 12 hour drive and it's cheaper and faster to fly. I'm a little apprehensive about this. Has anyone had any terrible experiences with this / good experiences? Do they still slap a bright "firearm" sticker on the case letting everyone handling it that it's a easy gun to steal?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they still slap a bright "firearm" sticker on the case letting everyone handling it that it's a easy gun to steal?? It is a lot easier than you would think. Just bring the pistol UNLOADED with NO magazines in a locked case with a TSA lock on it to the check in and let them know you need to declare the pistol. Keep ammo away from the pistol in the original containers if possible. You can't have any loose ammo or ammo that you can see visibly (uncased---as in original packaging). You can leave the pistol INSIDE the suitcase locked up nicely. They will give you a tag to sign and you then place the tag on top of the firearm case INSIDE the suitcase. Then they will walk you over to the TSA agents and you stick around till it clears and budda boom your done. It's that simple. X2 on the flight back.

We have flown all over with our guns and it depends on the agent when you check in. We put our guns in a locked case inside our suitcase. Sometimes the agent puts the tag inside the gun case and then the next time we go, they put it on the outside of the locked case. Either way, the case goes inside the suitcase. Our ammo always goes in the same suitcase too but it is in original boxes. I have an insulated lunch bag that I put the ammo in so it's not sliding all over the suitcase. We carried two guns and 1,000 rounds to Bali like that. We have never had an issue with checking a gun. NOW, carry your gun bag (backpack) on the airplane can be another issue. Don't leave a screw driver, a piece of brass, or a stray bullet - you will be held up forever!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha-charlie Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Thanks fellas, should I plan on shipping my ammo since it'll be well over 11 lbs. I read on here that the airlines usually don't ask about ammo, but other people say they've been checked before. Take a chance or play it safe?

joecichlid Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Thanks No problem at all. I also run a weekly e-mail list for local guys in KC who shoot with a bowling pin club, just added the information to that as well. Anything at all I can do to help the match out. Joe W.

-=VILLAMOR=- Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Just wondering if there are any new updates on the U.S. Production Challenge. There has not been any updates posted on the website since June 25th. And the Self Service Match Squadding on the USPSA website has not changed, and still only has 16 competitors listed. There are a few Minnesota shooters interested in going, but are apprehensive about registering at the time being. They are waiting for more information. With the September 1st deadline to request a refund without penalty, it would be nice to get some updates to help me decide whether to stay in or not.
