Re: TN F Class Championship - LR April 24/25

Trophies and palques are ordered, score cards are done, range is being mowed this week. So far so good on weather. We will be remaking all 15 long range targets Sunday. If you can make it, this will be a good one to make. I have pre-made wallpaper paste, rollers and wallpaper brushed for the pits this year. Hopefully it'll make for faster refacing.

BTW, NRA has registered the match so national records can be set. Anyone who has attended one of our registered matches knows that we almost always set or break at least one record per match.

Hope to see some of you you out!

Shooters,

I know there has been a lot of speculation etc., about the match due to the weather. Though I cannot predict what tomorrow's weather will be like, I will say that the match officials will be there at 8:30AM to hand out SR1's and start squadding. If we start late or have to stop early due to weather than we will adjust the match program accordingly. As of now, Sunday's weather looks like it may be O.K. , but again I cannot guarantee weather. I will say if we have enough shooter that want to shoot and we start a match we will finish it rain or shine, either day, as long as there is no lightning dangerous weather. (Ask Frank B. and Emil K.)

Fingers crossed, I will be wheels up for the range in 11 hours.

Re: TN F Class Championship - LR April 24/25

Shooters,

Conditions today prevented us from finishing a full match. Not good for the shooters who came out today, but great if you are a one day only shooter and Sunday is your day. Weather tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and 72*F. With the moisture we got today, seeing mirage shouldn't be a problem!

Due to the fact that we completed no full matches today, the TN F class championship(LR) will be determined by the aggregate of Sunday's matches. So, if you missed today and still want to shoot for the championship/match/class winner, you can come out tomorrow and still be able to win overall. We will all be starting on equal footing.

Registration tomorrow starts at 8AM central and ends at 9:15 central. First round down will be 9:45AM. Tomorrows course of fire will be a three 20 shot matches. Match fees for the day will be $30.

Shooters who came out today and paid for the full weekend, please see me at tomorrows stat table.

If you have any questions about tomorrow please feel free to call me. My number is listed in the latch program in the top post of this thread.

Chris




 
Re: TN F Class Championship - LR April 24/25

I'd like to congradulate Jim Sokolowski. Jim is the 2010 State Long Range F class Champion.

I would also like to congradulate Jeff Traylor, the match winner of the 2010 Long Range F class championship. Again

A write up and scores will be posted as soon as I recover, but I would like to thank Steve Parker, Tracy and Halie Pitts, Howard Pitts, Matt Kubic, Clyde Kunz, The Graham Boys, Jack Dickson Maj. Shepard, SFC Kennedy and SGT Montgomery. I'm sure I have left someone off, and I appologise for that. Without these shooters working and during the match, this championship would not have been nearly as smooth as it was.
