lmlong Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 A couple of questions. On the self squadding page it shows Thursday for staff, sponsors, & vendors. Is it possible to shoot Thursday? Next, is the parking area safely accesible to a motorcycle(GoldWing pulling a trailer)? Trying to make everybody happy by shooting on Thursday and then spending 3 days cruising around on the scooter with the spouse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to make everybody happy by shooting on Thursday and then spending 3 days cruising around on the scooter with the spouse! The answer to both is yes. Be advised though the road into the club is gravel...Bring along a piece of wood or something for your stand in case you have to park in the grass. I don't think the center stand will help a lot if it gets wet. Edited May 5, 2010 by JThompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That goes for all you Enos people. You won't be able to miss me, I'll have a big orange shirt on with my name on it. I'm 6 feet and 250.. It's easy to tell what my preferred drinking beverage is, if you follow. I want pictures with as many of you as I can get!

lmlong Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I dropped my app in the mail marked for Production. I planned on having an aftermarket barrel to shoot lead through my G17 by match time but this may not happen. This wouldn't be a problem if I hadn't already loaded 1,500 rounds with the plan of having a new barrel. I don't mind shooting a few lead rounds through the stock barrel but I don't feel real comfortable shooting 300-400 rnds. Will it be a problem if I have to switch to SS at the last minute?

1tcgc Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 If by "last minute" you mean about 1 week before the match, yes you can change divisions. I have to get all the entries to USPSA for verification before the match and I would PREFER that no one switches after that is done. Thanks for your cooperation.

I didn't mean I was going to show up the day of the match and want to change. I will have things sorted out one way or another in the next few days. Thanks for the response.

JThompson Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) I got my GM card for the match.... We put in 25k rounds with this weapon. That's 106 walls over that last week or two. I know I swept myself a time or two, but Troy wasn't there to see it. I would have DQed myself, but then there would have been nobody to finish the damn walls. Thanks to Dave Sharp for helping me out on the walls... also, thanks to Darla for the use of her barn. Edited May 14, 2010 by JThompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetfire Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Just sent my online App in. How long until I can select a squad? I want to find a hotel and need to figure out Dates. This will my first Area match, Thanks, to Dan Carter for getting me started 2 months ago. I have been having fun at all the local matches and will get a small taste of a big one next week. Again thanks to Dan and his Buckeye Challenge. Here's hoping my new gun works well. Will there be a bucket to catch my brain as it leaves my A$$ at the start signal?
