I am planning to attend at least on Saturday. After reading the club rules I am unsure if I will be allowed to shoot. It says I must qualify? I have shot in at least 5 or 6 of the 600 yd matches and 4 or 5 of the 1000 yd matches. I finished 2nd in 2 of the 1000yd matches after getting beat in a shoot off with an attorney from Tampa. Getting beat is a fact of life, but by a lawyer. I was so ashamed. Never had to qualify before. Is it possible to qualify and shoot on the same day?

I’m sure if you arrive a little early we can get you squared away stop at the office and sign the waver get a wrist band and come to the 600 yard range the office opens at 8 but there will be people at the 600 by 7

Thanks to all I had a great time!!!!

I'm glad you finally got to meet the famous Bill Davis

Who is Bill Davis? Nobody had name tags so I meet a lot of nice people but names I am not so sure of. Is he the match director? He was very accommodating and supper nice, but to me his name is "insufficient evidence".

The match director was Bob Longo. Bill Davis, aka Wauchula, is the guy who kicked butt on Saturday and won the 2 gun overall.

How you find that out?

Because of changes in the scoring and computer, with no screen, most of us had no clue what the results were. In fact as individuals, we had little idea of how each of us did.

Great to read Bill Davis was the leader. He works his butt off to tune, practice and perform as one of the best. Thanks for the information.

Larry, they did print out the sheets and staple them to the school house, and it was possible to photograph them. Yes, it was less than ideal, but we owe a lot of thanks to both Mike Lowitz and Bob Longo for making the match run as smoothly as it did.

I don't have photos of all the printouts, and please understand that these are NOT the final copy and corrections are sure to take place.

Thanks to all I had a great time!!!!

You are welcome Mark. Glad you made it out and had a great time. It was nice to meet you. Please private message me your email if you would like to be included in our group messages with scores and match updates. I apologize for the delays with the scores. There some were issues with the software and we were shorthanded our regular scoring crew was sick and couldn't make the match. Mike Lowitz step up and did a great job. Thank you sir.
