Feb. 25/25 and RFRF results

[Danny Creasy]

A hardworking few showed up and shot these matches at the delayed start time. Several shooters came early at the normal start time and voiced complaints or left handwritten messages to the same end. In the future, it will probably be better to simply cancel the match instead of delaying or changing a scheduled start time whether due to weather conditions or a lack of a match manager. I would like to point out that Jon and Amy Stratton would not have been able to shoot if it had been in the morning. Jon works retail every Saturday as do all of our gun dealer members and they simply cannot make the Saturday morning matches. So, these are points to remember when planning future range events.

How about that Amy's first try ever and with a bolt gun nonetheless?
And, that four way tie for 3rd in open sighted pistol class was unusual.
Ulus, seems like you may have found your game (2nd in Scoped Pistol). Way to go my man.

I had such a good time. I've been wanting to shoot a match for a while. We're hoping that there will be an occasional match in the afternoon that we can compete in.

[Danny Creasy]

It was great that you and Jon could shoot with us Saturday. I will talk with the officers and directors about a plan to vary match times.

I posted this on another thread but I will repeat it why don't we schedule matches as follows even numbered months mornings ,odd numbered months afternoons this will give more shooters access to the matches.

I saw your first post Reece and have been thinking about it.

There are many things to consider. As much as the winter plays havoc with the morning matches, the summer will make the June through September afternoon matches just about as inhospitable. The heat is why we go to 7:30 am set up times in the summer.

I don't know what the best answer is. But, we need to put a lot of thought and discussion into whatever we do.

This will have consequences for not only our long time competitors that have kind of arranged their shooting schedules and weekends around these matches but the rank and file members as well that already get confused over our numerous events.
