[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 870829, member: 1132"] I like the idea of May for the match. The 1st weekend has nothing on the regular holiday schedule. The 2nd weekend is Mother's Day. The 3rd weekend is Armed Forces Day. The 4th weekend is Memorial Day. To me that narrows it down to the 1st weekend and the 3rd weekend to get the best turnout. On the local shooting calendar, we have OCR&GC Practical Rifle match on the 1st Sat and USSA Steel Challenge on the 1st Sun. OKC has their IPSC match on the 1st Sat as well. The 3rd Sat is USSA Pro-Am match and I'm not aware of any matches on the 3rd Sunday. The National IDPA calendar doesn't show anything in our region for either weekend and I didn't find anything on the USPSA website either. [B]Does anyone know of any other matches or events on the 1st or 3rd weekends of May that are large draws in this region?[/B] Please post it up if you're aware of any. So far it looks like the 3rd weekend would work best. The USSA Pro-Am match is run on the back bays and anyone who wanted to shoot Wounded Warrior after the Pr-Am match certainly could. Or they could come back and shoot Wounded Warrior on Sunday. I'm not aware of any big Armed Forces Day parades, sporting events, etc. that would conflict. Also, did anyone have issues with the cost of the match? I figured there were multiple reasons for the low turnout. Minimal advertising, short notice, end of the regular shooting year for most regular competitors and exhausted shooting funds for the season. Do many people feel we would get a greater [B]total[/B] donation to send to the Wounded Warrior Project if we dropped the match fee slightly? How much is too much for a 10 stage 150+ round match that is almost 100% a charitable donation and your entry fee is tax deductible? Also, if you know of any companies or organizations who would make donations or sponsor the event, please shoot me a PM so we might approach them before they allocate their charity funding for the 2010 calendar year. Please provide feedback guys, we want this to be a successful event. Thanks for your consideration! [/QUOTE]
