JThompson Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Ok, I managed to con 3 other Ohio natives into driving up to this match and trying their luck out. Can't wait to see it all unfold. Should be a good trip. Of course this will require a mandatory stop at HOOTERS, right Dan? Damn glad to have you Chris! We are going to do what we can to accommodate you. Hotels are getting full, have you got one yet? If not I have the Holiday Inn blocked and there are plenty of rooms... not the best, but should do. I think the price is about $76 Let me know... Best, JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JThompson Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Negative on the hotel at this time. I'll have to get right on that. We also have a few suites blocked in a very nice hotel. $99.90 with tax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JThompson Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) The match and stages have been approved and the stages are up on the website.... JT I hope you approve... not many bells and whistles, we are short by 6 months from the norm. Sine we had so much to do we wanted to cut down the chances of having a stage kicked for gadgets. http://a5match.info and hit the stages button on the left.

ChuckS Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 John Amidon has the stages, so as soon as he gets back with us, and we make any corrections, they will be posted. Round count is 296. JT, Thanks for the stages! The count I get is 298. Do you think I should bring an extra 2 rounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JThompson Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) Remember stages fit into bays and adjustments seldom look like the book.... be warned, I wouldn't set them up and train from them. JT Edited April 26, 2010 by JThompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a good time in WI. I am shooting on Saturday, so maybe next time your in town we can meet up. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Inn Block is USPSA AREA5 JT Could you tell us what other hotels you were referring to here Jim? After the stolen gun(s) incident at Area 6 I am certainly willing to look at the "alternative hotels" compared to the "Match Hotel".
