Yes I am in! I have not shot this match since last year!!! Been waiting all day for this thread.
 
And for you guys whose brains are still spinning from Josh's Hellbender math (did he have every measurement system known to man on that list ?!?!), there will be NO MATH required beyond having to count out 10 to 12 rds of ammunition.
 
That was fast, the roster is full. If you would like to be added to the wait list email me at mayberrymatches at gmail.com. See you all at the range.

I know these ranges are only but so big and the number of shooters has to be regulated for everything to work but damn. It looks like there is the draw, maybe there should be some other matches set up. Rayner's and TVP are a little far for most of the shooters that compete in these.

I sent an email to be put on the list. I need at least one of these matches for the series. Please let me know if any slots open up.

I think this is a legitimate issue.

Perhaps we could do something for the last two such as prioritizing registrations of those series competitors who haven't yet shot at the other club. Or pre-register them.

This - for those shooters who are legitimately competing in the series. I realize there are some who are just local shooters in both clubs.

You can give my slot (Shawn O) to someone who needs a Mayberry Match.


I didn't have high enough percentages the last two matches to be competitive and I need to save up for some glass anyway.

Maybe next year it needs to be the 12 Sundays of sniping! Or make the whole series an annual one that runs at both ranges simultaneously. Just ideas but clearly the issue isn't getting people to sign up or show up. Any thoughts into trying to squeeze more people by making stages more speed friendly? I'm not trying to disrupt the integrity of the series merely make suggestions.
 
For the guys who are registered-
you should have received a pre-match briefing email from me. If you did not, please PM me and I will get you a copy. For the guys on the wait list, if you move into an active slot, I will make sure you get this briefing.
Thanks

Your priority target

Shooters in M-D #4,

This is Smith. He is your priority target for this match. There will be other targets, but you will have to hit Smith at various sizes, speeds and ranges. That is all for now.

A "yard sale" would be a good addition to the matches. I have Varget to trade for H4350.

Thats a hard sell lol. I agree though A yard sale would be good as long as it was scheduled for after the match. Don't want it to take priority over the actual shooting.
 
OK, moving on from the flea market to the point of this thread: mission-related information.

Shooters, here is a recommended supplemental gear list:

(1) Water. No heat casualties allowed, period. Bring 2 to 3 liters at least and drink it.
(2) Some type of writing utensil that you can use to mark your shooter number on rounds of your ammunition (i.e. Sharpie).
(3) Shooting mat. There will be at least one stage that you might want one, especially if you are hypoallergenic to dirt.
(4) Round count is 46 maximum and plan on shooting pretty darn close to all of that.

... and of course all the other stuff you usually bring (although you can safely leave your calculators at home; no math unless you need one to count out 12 rounds!)

Note the time of the safety brief: 0830. We will put first rounds down range at 0900. These are different timings than the New Holland events, so be aware of that. We will not wait if you are late.

When you arrive at the club, park in the parking lot next to the building with the picnic tables inside it (i.e. normal spot to park and wait). That is the assembly area for the match. Do not park, nor walk over to the range. We will do our safety brief and some other match related stuff at the assembly area and move over to the range as a group. Thanks.

Good luck and see you at the firing line on Sunday!

James, how muddy is the range? Trying to decide if I wear muck boots or not...
Click to expand...

That is a good question. The range is in great shape. We were out there on this past Sunday, after heavy rains. I was not optimistic, but the range was dry and nice and green with grass. The grass will all be freshly cut for you guys, think golf course-like. There was very little, if any, mud.
 
Josh, check your email.

Josh K, I was at the range yesterday, it's very dry, with this heat you will be dealing with dust not mud.

Matt, thanks for reminding me, I'll collect the 10% commission that Tom owes the club for his last flea market.

And as far as mowed like a golf course, probably not, mowed like a field mowed by unskilled volunteer labor, likely.

See you Sunday.

Outstanding match today. Hats off to theater director and thank you to all the volunteers. Having some non-shooters on hand definetly made the match run a lot faster.
 
James

Great job as match director hope you will take on another one! Also a big thanks to all the volunteers. Thank you Mike Pohuski for all the cold drink, much appreciated by all.

Richard P
 
Great job James on coming up with a great variety of stages that have not been seen before.

Also a huge thank you to Mike P for donating the water and Gatorade for the competitors.

Thanks James for the great stages and well organized match. Thank you Mike Pohuski for being such a great guy and donating the fluids to ensure everyone kept hydrated!!!
 
Great match today! Shooting movers threw a slot was realistic and diabolical! love it!

Thanks to all that put the match together and help with the execution.
 
Great event today guys, well run and getting done early with the heat pounding down was excellent.

Well done, James, looking forward to you guys coming for a visit to New Holland.
 
Guys-

Thanks for coming out. This was not a beginner's match as there wasn't an easy shot in the entire CoF. Not one. Plus the hot weather on top. So if you see a low percentage next to your name, note that the vast majority of shooters around would struggle to get any points. Plus you guys collected a lot of actionable intelligence on SSG Waldron's SALUTE report (the KIM stage).

Place - Name - Points - % of total pts
1 Cory Funk 357 74%
2 Karl Tabb 318 66%
3 Matt Gervais 301 63%
4 Matt Grizzard 277 58%
5 Michael Pohuski 261 54%
6 Chad Beitler 252 53%
7 Denver Metcalf 242 50%
8 Bob Duprey 234 49%
9 Matt Radolec 229 48%
10 Paul Bonargo 218 45%
11 Bob Kelly 210 44%
12 Todd Hammons 203 42%
13 Robert Lochman 194 40%
14 Josh Kunz 180 38%
15 Robert Koch 179 37%
16 Todd Strasavich 165 34%
17 Greg Banta 163 34%
18 Scott Victor 136 28%
19 Josh Resslar 107 22%
20 Richard Peabody 94 20%
21 Patrick Curran 92 19%

I do have to point out that a key stage - Fire and Movement (25% of total points) - was absolutely smashed by the match winner, Cory. He had 117 points out of possible 120 - DAMN! Guys that timed out or malfunctioned out of this stage tended to have trouble making up the points elsewhere, given the lack of lay-ups.

I will email you guys a copy of the stage-by-stage scoresheet for your review. I will also try to get some photos posted.
 
James,
Nicely done! Good balance between the PT and the heat. Some cool stages too.

Michael - thx again for the liquids!
 
James,
Great match! Thank you and all of the range crew for holding such a fun event. Thank you Mike Pohuski for the water and Gatorade. I think all of the stages were fun and challenging both mentally and physically. I enjoyed that each stage was a unique scenario for me but not an impossible shot (previous experience not necessary). Now I have some new stuff that I need to practice. My only comment would be that I am not a huge fan of running but I will take over Josh's evil quantum physics calculations any day. I look forward to seeing everyone at the next match.
