| …It’s Vegas… | |
| Match Flavor | Execution- Learn the marks, hit the marks, make the shot…quickly |
| Terrain | Rugged Bays- Everything is in bays, but the are not necessarily flat and have lots of ankle-roller rocks. |
| Skillz Utilized | Cyclic-rate match- fast shooting, a USPSA match with 3 guns. Lots of pistol distance rifle shots- but a couple tricky ones. No shotgun heavy stages and no shotgun over 10 yards. Adequate use of slugs |
| Farthest Shot and/or # of long range targets | 340 yards, approximately 7 |
| Logistics | Very efficient. Smooth registration. Regular scoring updates (almost real time). Smoothest prize table ever. |
| Venue | Las Vegas- easiest access there is and best amenaties |
| Pre-Communication | Yes, timely emails and the most comprehsive website to date. |
| Staff | On the whole, not customer serivce or match flow oriented. Quick on the DQ trigger, gotcha mentality, disorganized/inefficient reset, and lacking staff to RO rapore. |
| Fun factor | I really liked the cyclic rate shooting. The stages were fast and fun. Easy enough not to be stressful, but challenging enough to keep you honest. Would like to see more challenging shotgun shots on par with the challenges for pistol and rifle. |
| Funny things that happen at the match. | Keith Garcia’s liason activities |
