Hi guys,

This is just to let you know that the European Championships have been oversubscribed by 30% so, if you haven't got a slot yet, it's unlikely you'll get one now, unless you are willing to shoot the "Pre-Match", but even that's full.

There were 600 slots originally but they already have at least 780 applications. A good problem, but nonetheless a problem :(

oversubscribed by 30% just means want to have.

I wonder how many slots allready have been given to the several countries and how many slots will be divided by the want to have subscriptions?

Do you know if the organization in time will publlish a list of the compititors and the slots of the several countries?

Big problem seems to be how to get our ammo there, no carrier will allow more than 5kg per pax,drives me nuts

If you still do have problems with sending or travelling you might try to buy reloaded ammo. If the CZ shooters can not help you, than inform with the RD's of the other countries what possibilties there are.

In Europe many shooters like myself do reload their own ammo. Problem will be passing the CZ border. If you travel to Amsterdam and from there to CZ by car we might give you a help, allthough I don't know yet if under the Dutch regulations this will be possible or is allowed to do.

Saul Kirsch might know what kind of possibilities there will be, he lives in the Netherlands and shoots a lot of matches in the USA as well as in Europe.

Read my post in (don't know how to link) in World Shoot Information about shipping. There is plenty of time to arrange shipping...

I wonder if this is true, the countries had to pay the slots before 29 february 2004. The want to have slots they had to pay € 25,= per slot.

On the website of the organization they show statistic information per 1-4-2004.

http://www.ec2004.cz/ShowText_en.php?id=1203

Figures are:

All Regions Total

Slot match 256

slots prematch 26

standard 98

open 69

modified 12

production 59

revolver 14

Where are those 600 slots?

If your are goiing with a couple of guys I would try to book a house with several bedrooms. I booked a house near Stadlec about 8 km from the range.

example: 7 km south of Tabor http://www.topictravel.nl/(pocomz45dawwct4...2004&Duration=7
