dqshooter Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 The latest rumors are that Area 4 will be returning to the swamps next year. I am posting this to see how many of you out there would like to see it anywhere but there. Yes I would like to see it at the double tap again, I think Ken and the crew did a great job. The weather in texas is unpredictable as usual(I would rather have rain than rain and stinking hot humidity). Yes they volunteered to do it again. If you feel the same, contact Ken Hicks and let him know, if you do let him know what you want you cannot complain about the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatland Shooter Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I missed Area 4 this year due to a family illness but would like to see it at Double Tap Ranch again next year. Robert has worked hard to turn the facility into a top notch range and I have enjoyed every match I've attended there. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayouSlide Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I would guess they're talking about Princeton, La. Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ken Cobb and his group end up in charge of the match, they can count on me jumping in to RO. I can't begin to express how impressed I was with Ken, Lee, Scott and the other people behind this year's Area 4. I'd drive a long ways to support their efforts and work with them again.

shootingchef Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 We certainly appreciate the compliments. The decision is final, we are out of it. Good luck to wherever the match goes. I for one would like to see it in Tulsa or at the Double tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorDanO Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I would like to see it somewhat centrally located within the Area. Louisiana is a long way from West Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwmiket Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) As long as we are just wishing, I'd like it to be in Missoula. It isn't that much farther from Texas than Louisiana, right? Edited November 5, 2009 by dfwmiket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why will you not be in contention to do it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lneel Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Bobby.....we offered and were rejected. Though I think we brought repectability back to Area 4 but I will not miss working that hard again. Let's see what happens, I will just be a shooter come next year and hope whoever picks it up can match or even exceed the results of this year....woohoo! All they have to do is have more than 237 shooters, $35,000 prize table, Palm scoring with Thermal printers, 37" rolling results display, 2 laptops available for shooters to lookup their own scores all throughout the match, have wireless access to the results system available from anywhere on the range and have less than 3 reshoots/score issues out of ~2600 scores. Sounds like an easy feat....NOT! I will however appreciate whoever picks it up.... Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanky Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 North LA is fine by me. DTR is fine by me. I'll be there regardless. I drove 10 hrs to DTR, you guys can drive 10 hours to north LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullauto_Shooter Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I thought Hick's was retiring? Maybe sooner than he plans If A4 hosts another quality Championship next year, it may endanger our long tradition of mediocrity and procrastination.

You guys were warned once before about political content. No matter how justified you may feel, this isn't the place for it. Continue in this vein and it will get Closed or gutted beyond recognition.

BayouSlide Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 For me, perhaps more important than where it will be is who are the people who will be running it. A great organizing staff makes for a great match. Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zer.45 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 so when are we going to know where area 4 is going to be held so i can make plans now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayouSlide Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 so when are we going to know where area 4 is going to be held so i can make plans now. With the exception of last year, it has normally been finalized rather late in the game compared with the other area championships. Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingchef Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 it's long standing tradition to kill any thread mentioning A4 due to the intense reactions caused by the mention of A4. I wonder what Professor Pavloff would have said about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
