[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 1682409, member: 385"] In June 2007, I became the interim USPSA Chairman. The two individuals who co-chaired the event for several years had decided to retire; no one stepped up to chair. I did so to keep the activity available to the shooters. Now, six and a half years and 78 matches later, I’m being attacked by a whiner. Some of the bays at OCR&GC are not as wide/deep as what has become the standard USPSA field course bay. I had to work with what I had. Some of the bays have been improved in the last couple years, with 3-4 new big bays on the horizon, in future years. As a reminder, COF rules for Level I matches are not the same as for other levels. This makes things easier for local clubs to put on stages. Can I absolutely say that every one of the nearly 500 stages was perfectly in line with all COF design rules? No, but I tried, within constraints of space and time. The OCR&GC facility is a busy one and cannot allow stage buildup the day before, as is a luxury enjoyed by a few clubs. Often I’d be at the range at 6:30 AM to begin the days build out. Usually that was preceded with rising at about 5:00 AM to check over COF’s. That’s not just ONE time; that 78 times. Was I ever not at the range by 7:30 AM? A few times perhaps. Very late, due to a home electrical failure; once. We held matches through facility destruction, due to a tornado, that would have made most fold their tent. We built a “War Wagon” prop system to facilitate easier materials handling. I MD’d through a major shoulder injury that haunted me for months this year. More than once I got stuck with tearing down bays by myself; a tough task for a one armed man belonging to the over-60 crowd. I’d like to thank the several who faithfully stayed with OCR&GC USPSA. I know they enjoyed the social camaraderie and learning experience. I’m certainly going to enjoy missing out on the antics of the few whiners. [/QUOTE]
