I just got home from the match.
Had a good time and saw lots of old friends. Shot like absolute S@#T but had a good time.
The match ran pretty well but the long range rifle (Relative) stages were a bottleneck as they are at almost every match. There were several stages with cool props most civ types don't ever even see, much less play with. There was a Real AK-47 (this provided a really cool background noise all day long) that everyone put 15 rds through, there was a 9mm AT-4 trainer (thats a damn big tube for a 9 mil, but it was kind of cool) and a Remington 870 Breaching shotgun that we had to "Breach" a "Door" with. Well designed stages run by good folks ( Travis Tomasie

Also, if you haven't flown with Firearms, I highly recommend it at least once in your life just for sheer entertainment value. The TSA guys here at DFW always want to open up your rifle case and dig through your stuff, almost always one of them will go," Umm Sir, if you don't mind my asking, What line of work are you in?" (to which I usually reply "I'm in Human Resources", although next time I'm considering ,"I deliver US Mail.....Problem?"
) also, a missing case gets found really fast when you go throwing that "R" word around. "Sir, Whats in the case you're looking for?" RIFLES! "Oh, uhh, I'll find that right away sir." Atlanta on the other hand was refreshingly different, they simply ran the case through the scanner, the guy at the screen asked,"Is that an AR-15?" I said,"YES." to which he replied simply,"Cool." and sent me on my way.
Anyway, I don't think I ran into any board members, but I could be wrong.
Good times,
Blake
