MRP Tactical AR Regarding Awards in NRA State Championships

[BobB1691]

I "somewhat" agree but Match Directors can only give away so many awards and have a match still generate a little income to help pay the clubs large tax bills and range maintenance fees while keeping the match fee at a reasonable amount.

Thinking One match where you would crown separate Prone State Champions for;
F Open
FTR
Palma
Match
Service
( NRA AR Tactical is still provisional so I did not include that category )

A decent engraved Plaque for a State Champion runs around $80 each at the local Trophy shop I use.
The NRA gets $5.50 per shooter for a Registered Match
Class awards of say $20 per person if > 5 shooters in the class
You would have to charge a substantial Match Fee just to not loose money.

I'd love to see or get copies of Match Bulletins from other Match Directors Matches if they have done this.

My email is GSmith223 at comcast dot net if you would rather not post your match bulletins publicly.

No Palma George just Match Rifle.

Awwwwp, Good point... Add another class, more trophies and more awards to the discussion

How many classes for awards are we up to now in Prone matches.
I'm just a XTC service rifle shooter and I'm running out of fingers

You are not going to please everyone, no way, no how. Accept that right off the bat.

One can only do what you’re doing, struggle to do the best you can based on your experiences.

Thank You Excellent On Point feedback so far to the Question I asked in this thread.

I hoped the thread would stay on topic and More Match Directors Respond as requested and it doesn't go down a rathole.

I laid out my situation and question as clear as I could to avoid that.

I'm not a match director, but I do think you have a legitimate concern. Whatever you decide to do, I'd point it out in a very large font in every communication you send you about the match.

The number of people on the internet who can shoot .25 MOA groups with ball ammo at 500 yards using a $400 AR is amazing. These guys are bound to start showing up at matches sooner or later.

Why are you trying to figure out a way to pay the tax bill with one particular match? The state championship is the big show for your range. Even if you only break even you’ve done your facility a good thing just by showing it off.

LOL,
I'm confused as to how you could read into any of this that I / we were or are trying to pay the club tax bill from this one match.
Shirley, you can't be serious,,, lol

Yeah that was a little bit of a stretch. I think you may have to entertain separate dates for the sling shooters and the bipod/rest shooters. I think you know from past experiences how many will show for the “classic” sling events and if you had a separate date for the bipod events you might get some crossover that would help enlarge the attendance.
