[QUOTE="David E, post: 1130968, member: 1013"] No, we won't be starting at 6 pm. That's when they close. We are not guaranteed access to the ranges until [I]after [/I]6 pm. They will not kick out paying customers just so we can start setting up our match early, nor would I expect them to. If anyone is willing to help prepare for the match, grab a broom and help sweep the range. I will ask Heartland if the folks sweeping can keep the brass they collect, providing it doesn't slow anything down. This may motivate some sweeping help! Showing up at 5:30 is for SIGN UP, not for range set-up. It also gives you a good chance of being one of the first 40 shooters that get to shoot the match. I have not guaranteed an official "start" time for this match, so technically, it can never start late. :D It [I]will [/I]start just as soon as I have the stages set up and/or safety inspected. Simpler stages [I]are [/I]quicker to set up, but I doubt they'd hold the shooter's interest much past 2-3 matches. Most shooters like a bit of challenge, especially if they can't find it elsewhere. Even if it means a delayed start time. Despite the comments on how long the last match was, [I]everyone[/I] I talked to said they really liked the flashlight stage. Most had never shot a gun in the dark while trying to figure out how to hold the flashlight. Eye opening for many. But this kind of stage comes at a cost, usually the time factor. This is one reason I'm posting this poll, to find out what the [I]shooters [/I]want. (When was the last time any local club asked what the shooters want?) And don't forget, WE'RE A NEW CLUB !! Heartland and I are still working together trying to figure out exactly how these matches are going to work, logistics-wise, etc. I've shot many Local, State and even National matches that didn't start on time, so give a new club a break, will ya ? ;) [/QUOTE]
