I'm very pleased to see the GAF will be able to hold the Grand Muster this year. 

Given the short notice, Lieut. Col. Windy City Joe will be playing catch up over the next couple of months so please be patient with him and give him as much support as possible.

With the change in date I won't be able to make the Muster as I planned this year.  I've a family obligation that weekend and Home CinC would not appreciate my absence (so WCJ, I won't be able to try out that "new" rifle I got from you).

I made sure my calendar was free for the Muster in Texas, but now that its moved forward a few weeks I'm not able to come.  We're hosting the neighborhood Halloween party that weekend.

However, as I told Lieut. Col. Drydock, next year I'm driving out so I can bring the guns, ammo, and gear I need, spending time along the way out and back visiting friends, relatives, and seeing some CW and IW historical sites.  I particularly want to do a CW tour of Missouri.

General,  Don't forget Carthage and Sherwood and Cassville and Wilson's Creek and Lexington and be on the watch for those scoundrels from Kansas. If you should happen across anyone named Lane, just shoot them and head for Carthage. We will see that you get succor and some extra powder and ball to see you on your way home. Just stay south of the Mason and Dixon and all should go well.

General, that's good advice from Capt. Little. After you cross into Kansas, you should check out Fort Scott. While it is a bit earlier period, basically pre-civil war, still really interesting, many of the origional buildings are completely restored, and others were preserved just the way they were when it was acquired in (I think) the '30's or 40's

General,  Don't forget Carthage and Sherwood and Cassville and Wilson's Creek and Lexington ....

All high on my list - and I'm hoping you'll be available to show me around Carthage.  But that'll have to wait until next year. 

In St Louis last week I picked up "A Tour Guide to Missouri's Civil War" by Gregory Wold, and a DVD "Missouri's Civil War Tour" which I picked up from James Country Mercantile at the NCOWS Convention, both of which should help me find my way around a bit.

This is great news for me.  The Texas musters didn't work out with my work sched (NO time off, NO MORE than one vac. day at a time, NO holidays, etc.)  The re-deployment to Kansas (and MY NEW JOB!!!) will now possibly make it happen.  Hell, even if I can't make it, my wife may go without me.

I am OPTIMISTICALLY throwing in with this muster this year.  I will get my/her/our registration in when I can verify I can make it.  Looking foward to seeing you all again!!!

@ Pitspitr: The Garnett Inn is a nice little motel/RV spot, very easy access to the range (maybe 2-3 miles).  Penny and I stay there when we go to shoot with KVC.   They do have a little cocktail lounge/bar, but no eats close by (it's actually on the very edge of town - BUT THEY DO HAVE A ROOM WITH A JACUZZI!!!!!!!  Prices aren't bad.

Registration Form has been completed and, together with entry fee, has been delivered into the questionably trustworthy hands of Canada Post.  (If they can manage to get the envelope into the care and custody of the USPS, I know it will be OK from then on ..... )

On the back of the Registration form it states:
Entries received after the October 10th deadline will be
assessed a $10.00 per entry late fee.
NO ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER OCTOBER 24th, 2011!!

I will be going to the engraver on Wednesday with a list of names for the name badges.
Make sure that you are on my list, if not the name badge you will receive will not have your name on it. So, let me know what name (alias or real) you want on it.

A few questions:

1. with 15 registered shooters are you planning on only using 1 squad?

2. would it be possible for a competitor to register in 2 classes?
3. if so what would it cost for the second registration?

4. Is there an approximate round count yet?

We will be having around 22 -24 shooter. Planning on having two squads.
Approximate round count will be:
Main match Rifle 106 / Pistol 81
Era of Expansion Rifle 20 / Pistol 20
Long range Rifle 10 / Pistol 10
Side matches Pistol 30
If you brought 150 rounds each for rifle & pistol, it should be plenty.

Shotgun is for the Foragers?  

I'll have some books for the prize table.

I have some items to bring for the door prize table also.

Had not planned on bringing a shotgun unless you included the '97 for the expansion era match like they did last year.  As Drydock pointed out Forager class is the only one listed as using shotguns for the main match.

Any idea on time schedules for the event.  Want to make sure I know what time to be there each day.

At the urging of Windy City Joe, I have included a shotgun in one of the stages I wrote .... but a staged gun and ammunition will be supplied for that one.

As usual, I have an item or two I can bring for the prize table.  One in particular I have in mind is a full box (20 rounds) of Frankford Arsenal  ".38 Revolver Ball Cartridges, Reloading".  (It has been awhile since I wrapped it up in cellophane for protection, but as I recall they are dated '06 on the headstamp, so they do fall nicely into the Era of Expansion at any rate.)

I am travelling once again all the way from the remote fastness North of the Great Medicine Line ..... so I encourage others to make the necessary arrangements to attend!

I am continuing to work on a couple of other chaps up here to take in a Muster.  Almost had one of them convinced for this year, I think, but then some "family commitment" intervened.

Post by: Windy City Joe on October 16, 2011, 07:59:45 PM
You can set-up on Thursday if you want. Some of us local boys will arrive on Wednesday to start setting up the range. Thursday we are planning to set up the saloon and last minute stuff. If you arrive early you will have to do your own cooking. 

Yes, by all means you will need a bayonet, sword; on two stages you will use a bayonet.

Don’t forget to bring extra rounds of pistol ammo for the side matches on Friday.
On Friday I would like to have the safety meeting at 0845 and start shooting by 0930.

So far we have 27 shooters.

More good news! I started filling out the form to take a 1/2 day of comp on Friday the 28th and realized that it's Fall Break. That means I'll be able to leave Thursday right after the football game and I should actually be able to be there for some of the side matches! That means I will only be able to shoot one class in the main match because I don't have enough brass for both matches. Oh well, it's a small price to pay to get in on the sidematches!

What does the Friday Schedule look like. With the change in travel plans, I'd like to take part in as many of the side matches as possible but probably won't be able to be there until later in the morning or afternoon friday.

You only need shotgun shells if you are shooting the Forager class.
There are a few stages that you will use a shotgun and we will supply both for you. We will also supply the rifle prop with bayonet.
150 rounds each for both the rifle and pistol should be enough.
If you have any last minute questions let me know.

Considering the closeness of the competition ( a 3 way tie between you, Rattlesnake Jack and me) it was especially an honor. It was my privelege to be able to shoot on the same squad with you. I would have never guessed that I'd ever take home a second one.
