Thanks to all the people who helped put the match on doing setup, RO, etc.
Especially Steve and Jan's grandsons Dave and Trent who drove a lot of the spikes in the walls and target stands and ran the shovels loading gravel. My back thanks you.
Thanks to John, Jeff, and Jeff who helped RO the Staff squad Friday which was shall I say interesting.
Thanks to Dan for helping me RO stage 4 all weekend.
HUGE thanks to my wife for helping with setup(with a bum foot) and helped us run stage 4 all weekend. See also kept me from taking my gun off Friday and not finishing the match. She helped me/us a lot and she doesn't even shoot anymore.
Observations from the match.
We had a squad that rolled up and set out a fan and generator that they turned on and pointed the fan at us. That was the fastest 5 minutes of the match while they were doing their stage planning. Awesome and well played
What did we ever do without cool towels?
Sunday was HOT,HOT. A squad rolled up and one of them had a wagon with a huge umbrella(6FT?) on it he pulled it right up to the start area for the stage. I was thinking what the hell and was like you are going to have to move that. He asked if it was OK to park it there I begrudgingly told him I didn't have a problem with it if no one on the squad had a problem with it.
OK the sun was beating down and when I started running shooters that stupid umbrella kept me in the shade during the make ready and starting the shooter. It felt so good for just 30 seconds of relief from the sun. Glad I kept my mouth shut.
It was great to see friends again and some shooters that I only see at bigger matches.

. I had a backup Glock (was shooting my SP01), but he kept me in an SP01 so I didn't have to switch from one type of pistol to another. He didn't have to do it and he wouldn't even let me buy lunch.
