Thanks to everyone for their participation and assistance with the match to keep it flowing. 33 shooters!! 

Because of the space and time limitations at the range as well as the great turnout of numbers of registrants, we were only able to shoot 3 of the 6 stages in the 4 hours allotted. But it was great weather, and hopefully a fun time!

On the one hand, we apologize for the four disqualifications, but on the other hand, safety is paramount, and we had to make those tough calls.

In addition, we apologize to the one shooter who is posted as a "Did Not Finish"....for some reason, his time on one of the stages did not get written down on his scoresheet even though the hits/misses were scored.    Take away lesson: shooters - please double-check your scoresheet after each stage to ensure that everything is marked; we will do our best, but sometimes our best is obviously not enough.  That shooter can either have a refund or a coupon for credit towards another IDPA Nebraska Outdoor Match event.

Thanks to Izaak Walton's for hosting the first ever IDPA Nebraska outdoor match that was not a Classifier Match.

Fun match! This one had a lot of difficult shots and a lot of penalties were given out!

Thanks for your work Aldo as well as the other S.O.s and everyone who helped paste, keep score, etc.

One question though, as far as the checking your scoresheets thing: At IDPA matches I've noticed I never really get to see my scoresheet unless I specifically ask to see it. Is there another way we can help shooters take a look so we can make sure everything is right and entered appropriately?

There is a place on the scoresheet for both the SO and the shooter to initial. This would be helpful with the issue.  We (as SOs) need to improve at asking the shooters to initial the scoresheet. That's the way it's done at GSSF matches.  Great question, SeanN!!!  Hopefully an ok answer. 

The penalties were mostly the muzzle breaking the muzzle safe areas (the upper sweeping of the handgun when transitioning from one side of the barricade to the other as well as the vertical aiming of the handgun during a reload; there were a few cover calls).  Now the points down is another story.....hhhhmmmmm, front sight, transitions from one target to the next, shooting on the move... 

P.S. If only we could have done Stages 4-6...those would have made Stages 1-3 seem like a cupcake!

That is the way it is done at USPA matches for Area, Sectional, and maybe all qualifier (?).  Was going to suggest that if it is going to be done on paper.
