October 24, 2010 Newsletter

The weather was great for the last match of 2010. It felt more like June than late October even though Mother Nature kept us guessing how it would all turn out. And I now remember why I don't run 3-V very often for the Classifier stage. A lot of us needed the little white box after that one. And I might have to do a variation of Stage 3 - Short People next year, but maybe a little shorter. It seemed to test everyone's accuracy and memory just a little too much.

We had  52 shooters and 17 reshoots for a total of 69 guns. Here's the breakdown by division.

Here's the breakdown for the entire season.

We had a really great year and attendance was up again this year. I just wanted to thank all of you for coming out and we'll see you all back in 2011.

We had four (4) new shooters this month: Mike Pascoe, Jeremy Carter, Bryan Mack and Ted Backo.

If you still see a U for your classification, then maybe your membership has lapsed. USPSA has instituted a new policy. If you let your membership lapse for more than 60 days, you will lose your classification. If you want to keep your classification, please keep your membership current. Remember, if you sign up for (or renew) a USPSA membership at the match, you can shoot the match for free (that's like getting your USPSA membership for $25).

For the new members, when you receive your first issue of Front Sight, use the PIN on the cover to sign up to receive an e-mail notification when results are posted to the USPSA Local and Major Match results page. Our results are always posted to the USPSA Local Match Results first. It takes a little while to massage the junk HTML pages that come out of EzWinScore.

Don't forget to let me know when you change your membership type. I had two RO's change their membership and I found out when I went to update the classifications. That just slows down the process to post the scores. I have to stop and get confirmation of the membership number changes.

We also have Crooked Creek Conservation Club applications. Ask Bill, Ed or myself for one if you are interested in joining. We hold a pistol practice on Wednesday evening starting about 4:30~5:00 PM for members.

Our first match for 2011 will be on Sunday, March 20^th  at Crooked Creek in Hartsgrove. Setup will be on Saturday, March 19^th starting at 1:30 PM. You can shoot one gun after setup. And we will continue the practice of running one classifier each match. Now, you don't have any reason not to be classified before that big match.

Signups for Sunday start at 7:30AM. We will run two (2) squads on Sunday at 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM. Please arrive in time to register, gear-up and be ready to shoot at 8:00AM. I will try to design the stages to keep us on schedule so that you don't have to wait for the second squad. The last squad will help with teardown.

Keep up the pressure on the RATs and make sure they understand that UNCONSTITUTIONAL Health Care, Budget Busting & Gun Control will mean a repeat of 1994! Throw the bums out! Flip this House in November 2010!
