    I agree it becomes a safety issue (and sometimes a wet target issue). Anytime there is going to be movement in a stage, I would prefer not to running around on slippery stuff, or better yet, not having the shooter before me running around on slippery stuff.

    I remember a odd stage on a March IDPA shoot at CC where there was still snow on the ground and instead of moving on foot through the stage we were pulled on a small trailer behind an ATV around the targets while we sat in a chair on the trailer. (training to be a driveby shooter?)

    I think the "old" people did have their act together and avoided the possibility of injuries. Have you ever shot a match in the rain, cold, or snow? Have you ever slipped in the mud or snow while shooting a match and had the wearwithall to keep your muzzle pointed in a safe direction?

    Safety is the first concern and with the forecast we had, to cancel the match was the only choice. Next time blame the weatherman instead of the Board of Directors and their decision. Better yet step up and run for the board instead of complaining about it on the internet.

    Well, I know I filled out the registration form, and I am pretty sure I put down my e-mail address, and I did not get a cancellation notification (my spam blocker does not emails it until I flag it).

    Still waiting on the classification results to get updated as well.

    Does Mick/club officers need help? I would be more than happy to chip in with data entry and operations.

    I can not afford to shoot for the remainder of the year, but I do plan on showing up early to help setup and keep scores for at least half the day (providing I don't have to work - that time of year).

    I did not send out the email, but I do know that I got an email from fridpa (at) juno dot com before 6:00am canceling the match and it was also posted here. I am assuming you have read over the FAQ section here about how to get on the results/announcements email list...

    Please contact Mick directly with your questions. I though he had already emailed out the updated classifier results. The site does not appear to be updated.

    We needed help in Pueblo, but most people just wanted to shoot. That getting there early to help with setup stuff was not for them. And now there isnt any more IDPA matches in Pueblo.

    Hoser,

    I feel bad for you guys in Pueblo. I wanted to shoot them, but cost of fuel (a bit of a trip from Denver), and the end of the season got me. Even then as much as I would like to, leaving home at 0500 to get there for setup is not real appealing to me on my days off (not that I wouldn't if it was still summer/fall - motorcycle) . I do that enough to go to work. Staying late to tear down and clean up is a no brainer.

    I have been in contact with Mick, like I thought, he has been a bit busy.

    I did receive your test email...or someones about the shoots, so that appears to be working now.

    Thanks!

    Sticks
