Is it ok if i were to use my m14s as my carbine and rifle ..

Absolutely......but realize that you will be shooting against AR-15's with more capacity.....less mag changes. If you are having fun, and using what you want to use, go for it!

just constructive points but ya should change the 50 birdshot for 50 buckshot .. who uses birdshot on zombies !?

Taken into consideration......and when you put on a match, please feel free to put the round count and what type of ammo for what you want and design for. It seems rather odd, that people would criticize, before they even shoot a match...just some constructive criticism from me!

Not sure if it will be a downpayment or full payment for the match but we are a tad sick of taking a day off of work to build a match only to have half the people cancel on us.

Full payment ahead of time... That's how all the major.. and minor (3-gun) matches I've attended run... And it's not a problem.
and usually these fees are a couple hundred bucks or more.

Deposits just add administrative work for whomever is looking after the match fees.

MD's shouldn't be the ones accomodating shooters whims...

'You wanna shoot... Pay up. 'You're not sure if you want to shoot or you're not sure you can make it... Then hope for a empty walk on slot "if" they're available/offered.


I've run prepaid matches and it's by far the best way to go.
Of course I've had guys not show up (without notice) and get their buddy who did show up to ask for his match fee back..

"Bob couldn't make it... Can I get his $25 back from ya...?

"Uh.... No. If Bob had called me before hand I could have given his slot to someone on the wait list"... He didn't bother so... I'm keeping his fee.

And before someone chimes in to whine about getting a refund on a match they missed because they were sick or their dog died... That's not really the MD's problem.

With regards to EESA...
Had I waited until a day or two before to chicken out of EESA's shotgun match last Sat. I would have sent Stormb. my match fee anyway.
The way I look at it if you sign up... You are taking a slot. Pay for it wether you use it or not.

Regarding the Zombie shoot... 'Was looking fwd. to an EESA 3-gun, but... I'll be in Vancouver that week on a family Vacay...

Have fun.

LOL the second part was suppose to be more of a joke and not meant to be taken seriously .. i couldnt afford to shoot 50 buckshot even if i wanted to lol.

You are also forgetting that maybe the stage revolves around zombie birds...? We won't know until they unveil the stages but the devil is in the details. hehehe ;):D

Either way thanks again guys for setting up the stages and putting in the hard work. I think the people posting criticism are doing so simply because they are excited and really want to go to town on zombies. Not because they are ignoring the dedication and hard work you've put in.

I've yet to participate in a match, let alone run one but I'm definitely biting my tongue instead of saying, "ohh ohh ohh, put an oil drum soaked in gas that we need to throw road flares at stage, etc.":50cal:
 
Maybe Storm and Craig have a few questions for you...like will you actually show up for this match (not just sign up)

Maybe it would be a show of good faith for you and Will to pay for the last match you signed up for...and never bothered to show up for...

And maybe I emailed John at 7:45am (after calling Will's home and Cell every 15 minutes since 5:30am when Will was supposed to be at my place) to apologize for not being able to make it as I was dependent on Will for a ride to the match. Should John request that, I have no problem doing so. I consider John and Craig do be friends and feel terrible for not being able to make there match after all the hard work they put in to it.
 
Official date ??

Is there a change in date? Is it still on for the 9th of July? I have to plan around work schedule and need to know.

You say that like there is a "need" to change the date. Has a need come up to move the match to another date?

Not a need so much as opportunity.

1) put a black badge course on the weekend of the 9th instead of the weekend of the 15th.

2) put the match over two days (one for public one for workers and tear down).
