[QUOTE="Surveyor1653, post: 2242321, member: 5197"] Man, what a fun two days. It was good getting to meet all of the competitors (limited though our introduction might have been). I was introduced to a few via their OSA handles, and found out who UMB is after reading his AAR above. Glad you were able to press on safely. I want to thank Daniel & Al for conceiving of, planning, and orchestrating the match. I had a great time with the course, though I wouldn't have believed it while it was happening. As SMS stated, if you fancy yourself a gunslinger this is the kind of event to find out whether you truly know very well what you are about. This was no square range group grope. This was a legit test of a shooter's fitness, his skill at arms, and of his current equipment configuration under no-kidding field conditions. If you want to pressure test your skillset and your tools, this is the kind of place to do so. I also want to thank all of the competitors for their cooperation, excellent attitude, and dedication to safety. There was some excellent skill on display, as well as a great deal of grit & determination in the face of some fairly adverse conditions. Folks were just sticking with it and fighting through their issues which were compounded by the heat. I was impressed all day long. Thanks to all of you. Thanks are also due to my fellow ROs. There were, at my count, 8 Appleseed Instructors & IITs present as well as a couple of USRA Instructors. It was a pleasure working with and getting acquainted with you all, even Boomer! See you all at the next one. [/QUOTE]
