Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Damn, I can't believe I hadn't kept an eye out for this. Count me in. I'll be sending off my deposit in the morning!

Will we be able to set up tents again this year? Early September ought to be a might bit warmer than last year and I won't have to worry about snow on the ground again...

Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Damn, I have to work that weekend. Gotta see if I can swap shifts with someone....
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Ritten,
You guys are some real men, and like it was said, that picture doesn't do the cold any justice.

Hell, I was freezing that morning and I hadn't slept outside all night in the cold!

It was like 15 degrees at sunrise that morning...I remember it was so cold the bolt release on my rifle froze up on me.

Very, very cold December weekend last year.... this year will likely be very, very hot and muggy September weekend.

That would confuse people, why I have a trophy, with your name on it. &#57431;
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Looks great! I'm ready to shoot another match. Looks like we've got some great matches coming up. Outback told me this one will be a blast!
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

11 spots left, let's get it filled !!!
50% of your entry fee is going back to prize table.
Lots of money and high-dollar prizes up for grabs too.
Custom made trophies from Piper Precision are going to be awesome
Calcutta update-- $500 added money from pot will payback 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 10th and 25th place. And you can buy yourself into a split from the high bidder. for half the bid.
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

not trying to hijack but is this a public range? My local range has only 100yds. I'm less than an hour from shreveport and never heard of this place. Could someone pm me some details please? Bet this match would be awesome to watch.
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Just curious...
Since they've turned over the reins this time to Rich and Casey, are Terry and Jim going to be shooting this match this year?
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Terry has signed up... hadn't seen Jim's Name yet hope he and some other fellow Louisiana shooters get in.(cough>>>> Divers)

Terry was kind enough to bring a stock with him to the Prize table too!!!!!!!!!!

Joe come on out an watch if you want.

Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Rich, you know Divers, he's gonna wait til the last minute. Rest assured, I'm staying on him and Red to send in their entries. We're not going to miss this match.
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

That's about enough chit chat about me. I admit, I procrastinate...a lot. Still on the fence here, trying to get off. Lot's of things happening in the here and now. Work is nuts, money isn't falling off trees.

But nice to be remembered.
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Well it would have been an awesome first match for me, but work and drill wont allow me to make it.

Maybe the next one.
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Head count 47

If you want in now you need to send me a email. I'll begin a waiting list, after 50 but will probably allow a few more shoot just in case we get a few no shows.
Everybody that's in will get an email tomorrow to confirm also checks are getting cashed this week.
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Need email address from:
Christopher Hooper
Dayton Alexander

ASAP

I also have a western Union MO that got separated from the envelope with no name on it, uhmm... i got an idea but if that's you let me know.

Thanks All
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Got my email today, thanks. I may see Jim Clark tomorrow morning, I'll hit him up about the match if I do.
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

I get to miss this one because of work...tried, but can't get out of it.
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Just read the brief. Under minimum equipment requirements no pistol was listed but there is a couple of thing about a pistol stage. Will we need our pistols? If so how much ammo will be required?

Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Bugger. Would really like to make this my first comp, but fly back to the sandbox the day after. The Mrs wouldnt be impressed if I dissappeared for the weekend lol.

Is it possible as a non club member to come along just to watch?

Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

Barney PM Sent

Ok 50 shooters in, I think we can take a few more.

Prize table is shaping i think we may have 4 guns and possibly 2-3 AR uppers , 2 stocks, still working on a couple of scopes, i appreciate everybody's help in supporting the prize table.

I've also bought some stuff to give a way at the match and to the RO's too.
 
Re: Shreveport Match Date Set

An autobiography by a retired Delta Operator recounted their training in the Rockies. Maximum ruck weight was 40lbs, I think, but anyway the point is he chose food instead of other seemingly useful gear based on imperical data that if you're hungry you can't concentrate on anything else completely.

Pack in your tote bag (whatever it is you choose; Eberlestock, Camelback, Kiafaru, etc.!) food that works.

Ideas; Raw trail mix, raw nuts, seeds, fruit, fruit drinks, V8 vegetable juice, peanutbutter & jelly sandwiches, water, water, water, water, Bueller, Bueller,
asswipe (its a long way to the powder room). The Redbeans & Rice the night before will "gitchya goin".

Line an interior compartment of your pack with foil to reflect heat back out and even better use bubblewrap sandwiched foil insulation. Also, line it with the towel you'll need to wipe the sweat off your brow cause its gone be hot brotha.
