Re: Northern Nationals 2017
I can honestly say this was one of the most well organised and executed matches ever. Exhausted but can't wait for tomorrow.

Re: Northern Nationals 2017
It's great seeing some of the "old hands" who spend most of their time on the "other" handgun sport being positive about this match. But MDC deserve every bit of that praise!

Re: Northern Nationals 2017
I enjoyed today as well and I'm looking forward to the six stages we have left tomorrow. Not so much the chrony stage, but I'll probably get past that one too.

Re: Northern Nationals 2017
This was an excellent match. The best that I have shot in many years.
Well organised, good stages.
All the props worked every time.
Our detail must have waited a cumulative 5 minutes for the detail in front of us.
To everyone who enjoyed the match: SUPPORT THE SPONSORS.
It really doesn't matter that you can buy a gun for a few hundred bucks cheaper down the road when you will have nowhere to shoot it.
Tell your dealers to support the sponsors too.Cattle die, kindred die, every man is mortal:
But I know one thing that never dies,
the glory of the great dead.

Re: Northern Nationals 2017
Some sponsors went out their way, not just supporting the match (I'll highlight shortly), but it is probably the most shooters I have seen stick around after the match (Lucky draw PRIZE TABLE WAS LOADED).
A special thank you to Nico from "www.numenor.co.za", for not just designing, building & maintaining the stage I was on, also being the main match sponsor. He gave his own time as well & I had a support crew on call.
If an activator/prop, just hinted at 99.999% operation, it was optimized back on track, and completed a 100% success over 4 days.
Oh and further congrats to Nico, he somehow manage to shoot the whole match with just 4 points down.
480BC, had some great specials, and I appreciated that prices were actually visible, so that I didn't have to ask 46 different times, "and how much is this"

Re: Northern Nationals 2017
I must fully agree with you. Super organized.
Communication was fantastic from registration right through to the end of the match. At no time during the buildup or match did I feel uninformed. This is a feat in it's own right.
As for the weekend. The MDC team and all the sponsors did a spectacular job!
Driving home I realized that MDC would be more than capable to host a larger event.
A special mention to JD Gates as I was super impressed with their game drive cart stage. That thing ran like a machine and it was clear that these guys know what they are doing. I hope to see it in some other iteration again.

I cant even imagine the man hours and cell phone bills that must have gone into organizing and putting this all together.
Thank you to all the sponsors and for all the great prizes .
Lastly, thanks to squad 9 for a very pleasant 2 days
