There are still a couple spots left. If you know someone who may be interested, be sure to let them know.

I also wanted to give a shout out to the sponsors thus far. We have a VERY nice prize table for a relatively small match. You have your choice of places to spend your hard earned dollars, but consider supporting those who support the shooting sports.

($1000 sponsor)

($280 sponsor)

($200 sponsor)

($150 sponsor)

($50 sponsor)

And, of course, myself and Centrolutions will be throwing a bit into the pot

Just bought the last of the targets (steel and otherwise) for this match today. The stars are aligning.

Our spotter (AKA my business partner on LASR) has to drop out since at least one of us needs to make it to a trade show that is going on that weekend.

Safety/Match Director: Your's Truly
Scorekeeper: ? (stand around with a clipboard, record scores, gets info on impacts from spotter)
Spotter: ? (watches the targets, calls impact)
Photographers: Got a couple lined up

Concessions: Completely optional, but if someone wants to throw a grill and a couple coolers in the back of their pickup, you are more than welcome. The proceeds MUST go to a 2A related organization (preferably the NFOA)

Any other help is more than welcome, and some of these jobs can double task if need be (if I REALLY needed to, I could do it all myself). Match admin and assistants do not need to bring anything, everything is provided, and no "special" skills are needed. This is a great opportunity for those who are curious but not ready to put their pride on the line

Even if you can't help out on match day, your assistance would be more than appreciated during setup.

Tenative schedule for match admin and assistants:

November 2nd and 3rd (ish): Recon/planning/initial setup. I don't really NEED help with this, but two (or more) heads are better than one. I have a fairly good plan for the stage and flow of the match, but I will want to do some last minute checks and augments to the plan after the corn is out and I can see the terrain again, and do some very initial setup and staging.

November 8th: Principle setup day. Actually setting up targets and other props. Checking ranges, LOS, SDZs, etc. A few extra hands would be nice.

November 9th: Alibi setup day. This day is to cover the things that I either forget about or run out of time for on the 8th. Also to prove the stages by actually running them, and doing a walk-through/rehearsal for all match admin. Last minute tweaks, you get the idea. Anyone helping out is welcome to shoot this day as well. !!The spotter and scorekeeper NEEDS to be there on this day!!!

November 10th: Zero Hour. See match admin list above.

Sorry, but if you are competing, you cannot be involved in match setup or admin.
Once you see the stages, you'll know why

If you are interested in helping out, please email john@mwts-training.com

Please don't PM me on here. That is, by far, the worst way to get ahold of me.

Another package showed up today: Sierra Bullets is now a $150 dollar sponsor.

Wow...it looks like you might have more sponsors than actual competitors.

I really need to get back out again and get some new dope. I stuck a different scope on my rifle and since I went from a 1" tube to a 30mm my sight offset changed. I've only had a chance to take it out to 300 so far.

Is that a hint ?

bkoenig · « **Reply #65 on:** September 09, 2013, 09:38:20 PM »

Maybe.....

wallace11bravo · « **Reply #66 on:** September 11, 2013, 08:05:17 PM »

Still two spots open folks!

If ya'll could do me a favor and help get the word out, it would be much appreciated. If I can't get 12 spots filled, it will be hard to justify trying to make it a bigger event next year, and it will be difficult to attract and retain sponsors.

I attached the PDF flier, and the match details are available here: http://www.mwts-training.com/SAPPRC

wallace11bravo · « **Reply #67 on:** September 19, 2013, 09:46:32 PM »

All match spots filled. Standby list signup is available on the match page and any cancellations or withdrawals will be filled from the standby list in a first-come-first-serve basis. I may decide to open up a couple of additional slots as well.

All registrations close on the 10th of October, period. If you payment is in, and I sent you a confirmation, you are in for sure. If you haven't gotten your match fee in by the 10th of October, I will issue you a warning email. If I get no response by the 15th, I will bump you for someone on the standby list.

I will also be ordering the shirts on the 15th of October, so if you are thinking about assisting with match setup and/or running, and would like a T-shirt, I'll need your info and payment by then.

One last notice if you want to help out with this match!

I have what I NEED for help, but more is always better. I can provide transport from Lincoln for anyone wanting to help out. Don't forget, if you help out with match setup or admin, you have the chance to shoot the exact same courses of fire on rehearsal day.

Looking at you Koz... and Robert

Just need you on the 9th and 10th of November.

Yeah, What he said. Right now, one of the fellas helping is ME. Oh Lawdy do I need help.

Are you tearing down the day of the match? If so I can help then.

Depends on what time we finish up. If it is late and folks are tired (they most likely will be), I'll just leave it. In other words: probably not.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone out there. If you want to just come out and watch, you are more than welcome. Check out the FB event page for driving directions and other info:

Important info for Spectators!!

Driving Directions:
See attached map, or use these coordinates: 41.134032, -97.469428
(Sorry, the address does not work in Google maps, it will take you to the wrong end of the state)

We will only be at this location until ~10:00am, then we will be moving several miles south for the rest of the day's stages. If you wish to spectate, I recommend being there there no later than 9:00am. Nov 10th is the date, incase you forgot.

Rules for Spectators:
1. Follow all RO instructions
2. NO handling or carrying weapons or ammo without RO approval
3. You must have eye and hearing protection
4. You may assist shooters if you like (coaching, spotting), except on stages where it is not allowed. You are expected to follow the same technical/admin/safety rules as the competitors. This includes staying behind the firing lines.

Failure to follow these rules will result in you being asked to leave.

Additional suggestions:
-Bring a foldable chair
-Insect repellent/sunscreen
-Water/snacks
-There is some walking between stages. You will not be able to drive up to all stages.
-If you would like to help out, just let us know. I am sure we can find something for you to do

Well, this should be interesting. I got my eyes lasered a week and a half ago and tonight I tried some dry firing for the first time. Either the quality of my scope has seriously degraded since the last time I looked through it or looking through magnification causes me to see double....hopefully it clears up before the match.

YAY!

Ahem. I mean: "Oh, so sorry to hear that."

(Went to the range this evening, and actually FINALLY shot my rifle out to 550 yards. I can hit targets at that distance, as long as they are really huge. Think that'll be enough? )

Is there a beer cart that will come by regularly?

What do you think this is, golf?

Golf courses are a waste of a perfectly good shooting range

Hey, I resemble that wise crack

I might be more accurate at 300yds with a driver than with a rifle.

wallace11bravo · « **Reply #79 on:** October 30, 2013, 10:56:36 PM »

I was out today setting up steel and whatnot...

Ya'll are gonna hate me

Actually I think some of you will do (much) better than you think you will... especially if the current wind predictions hold...

I might have to go make some targets smaller....

Sigh... do I really have to add that to the list of rules? I would hope that one would fall under common sense... of course, I would think that muzzle awareness would as well.
