I was told this weekend I look like a "mini Coach" ....

those are fighting words!

 

[Combsie]

Any updates on those 2 open guns lost?

Or the STI Apeiro that a member of our squad lost? Hate to see that type of thing happen, and those guys from Ontario Pinoy we're a great bunch to shoot with.

How did guns get lost?? I can see stolen, but lost?

Great Match Jake, Dan, and crew! The range looks awesome!


Any word yet about next year's match?

People have been asking me about it already.

 

[downrange72]

contrary to downrange72 s constant bashing of the kindles they performed well. no major issues and only 1 scoring issue in a match this size speaks for its self. I think he is about to embrace the technology!

Oh no he won't. He has already had a discussion with our future president

To clarify
the Canadian competitor that believes he left his gun case on the side of the road with 1 STI gun in it was not found.
they parked on the side of the gravel road near bay 1, on Saturday evening he believes that when loading his gear up he left his pelican black case with 1 STI gun in it (not 2 open guns)
He became aware that he was missing the case late Saturday evening, called me after 9:00pm Saturday evening.
We met at the range Sunday morning and walked the area with flashlights, however there was no case found and none turned it.
The competitor filed a police report, and told the officer that he believed that is where he left it, however could not be certain.

As for all the comments on the match, thank you.
The biggest thanks really goes out to
Dave and Dan for all their hard work at Silver Creek. USPSA was almost lost at the range last year and if it was not for those two stepping up to run for board positions there would not only not have been a match, but no uspsa at the club (or any other competition)
Dan put in tons of hours at the range directing the bay work that took place, plus just the amount of clean up that took place. The build crew that came down to help, Steve, Jan, Jeff, Mike, Adam, Paul, Kevin and I am sure that I missing some others did a tremendous job of putting the stages on the ground and making the match what it was.
A huge thanks to Marc Lorey, every entry form that came to me went to Marc and was entered into the match, then into online squadding, from behind the scenes Marc did a ton of work with stuff, without him doing what he does I would not do the match.

I am very glad that everyone seems to have enjoyed the match, for the most part, and had a great time.

And no there is no word on a next years match
If someone wants to let me know when and where I will gladly sign up to shoot it

 

[riverman67]

I'll sign up to shoot as well
It was a fun match to shoot.
I didn't shoot it well but I had a good time

And it wasn't hot, and things didn't drag out long enough for the 2nd batteries to poop out. I'm thinking they will only cause major problems when you really need them not to .

hot isnt the main problem.....leaving them in the sun is a problem. we had batteries 3 &4 ready to go....management is the key. everyone did well!!!

 

[blkrifle]

Oh no he won't. He has already had a discussion with our future president

hahaahhaa.....what if he dont win?

 

[downrange72]

I'll talk to Manny

 

[Grelber]

hmmm, if management had shared the 'don't panic we have more batteries' then labor would have not had wadded undies, no biggie, they never told the little people anything at my last job either.

i stand corrected on the heat thing too. If it was really hot but cloudy we would likely have been good to go.

Ours never went into sleep mode because we didnt have a chance to put then in it...plugged in we were in the teens by early afternoon Friday and Sunday. We went to nooks and the battery would barely move...but the touch screen delay makes a person want to toss them over a berm

I still say if paper is the official score, scoring should be done on paper and transferred to the electronic device not vice versa

Problem is, people could do it while sitting inside a quite air conditioned building with a real keyboard and a full size computer screen, nobody would like that.

 

[rvb]

electronic scoring worked awesome, imo!

Well your scores weren't altered and still not corrected, I am glad we had paper to back them up!

Were they copying to paper by hand, or using a printer?

 

[rvb]

mistakes happen with paper, too. usually more often due to considerably more opportunity for mistakes in data entry, summing hit totals, bad handwriting, etc. Sorry you had a score entered incorrectly, but I don't think you can vilify electronic scoring for it....

As an RO I was more concerned about making a mistake while creating the paper copy.....

edit: would be interesting to hear from Mark how many requests for corrections he had this year vs last year...

 

[CB45]

Isn't there a process in the rules for scoring review? Like the 1 hour review window?
