Topic: MGM New Years day 3 gun man on man

I have no idea how many shooters we are going to have out there tomorrow.  I don't think it will be over about 30 so we are all going to shoot on the same stage.  There will be no reset, so the only slow part will be the shooters getting their stuff together.  We'll have preload tables for the shotguns and I'm going to do my best to make the COF's exactly the same so we don't have to worry about switching sides each time.  If we stay after it, I still think we can get done by 14:00.
ekuo said he was going to set up a sidematch so that will break up a little of the slowness.  I was thinking something like five poppers and five flying clays...only stipulation is you have to shoot all five poppers first    We'll see.  See you all tomorrow...dress warm!!!
Adios,

a 8+1 shotgun  five popers and 5 flying clays anybody that can shoot the popers first would be the MAN

Five poppers with five flippers...and you have to take the poppers first?  Damn, that's upping the ante.  Glad I can get 10+1 after the start in my shotty...  

I was thinking about something involving spinners... But open for just about anything.

Lets talk about it in the a.m.

I'm up for anything too.  Spinners are always good fun.

Well we got another one in the books.  Made it out with no major issues and everyone seemed to have a good time.  I think the intermediate and expert shooters were done by about noon and the beginner shooters finished up around 15:00.
Before we get to the results (what I have anyway), I'd like to give a big shout out to ekuo, Chuck G, Jim S., Kaen E., Brian K. and one or two other guys for all their help setting up and tearing down.  They were a huge help and obviously, the match wouldn't have happened without them.  Thanks Gents.
So, here we have it.  I only remember the ones I paid out, because I was busy and forgot to get the score sheets.
Beginner:
5th Andy B
4th Tennille C
3rd Roy ?
2nd Aaron N
1st True P

Intermediate:
3rd I'm loosing it..  I can't think of this person right now.  Evans?  Help?
2nd Evans K
1st Bob H

Expert:
4th Mike Gibson
3rd Jim Sullivan
2nd Travis G
1st Kelly B

Intermidiate was:

4th - Brian K (you forgot that one :-)
3rd - Evans K
2nd - Bill L.
1st - Bob H.

It was a great match, good weather, and Mike G cooks a mean pot of mash and cornbread.

Great match by MGM!!!! Thanks Mike and Travis!

Yup, Bill took 2nd place in Intermediate.  I was third, which means I get to stay in Intermediate next year!  Top 2 of each class bump up, right?   

Great match, awesome chilli, and thanks to MGM for hosting!

Photos from match up on Parma web site. I ran out of camera memory before I could make it over to the other squad shooting, so this is just the expert/intermidiate squad... if anyone has pics of the other squad or just more photos, get'm to me and I'll post them up on the web.

here's a little sample.

HAHA!!  Nice!  Thanks for doing a great job with the pics and scores over at the Parma site.  Next year we'll have the MGM Grand Nats under our belts so scoring and J ladders will be old hat.  We can then put those on the website.  Thanks again Brian.

I'm good with that!     I'm thinking of shooting a revolver, a pump SG, and iron sighted rifle and dropping back to intermediate class.  Is that doable? LOL!

Luvy45, thanks for posting the pics (and taking them!).  The only thing missing were any pictures of spit freezing before it hit the ground...

Any chance of getting copies of some of them?
