Ft Benning Nationals?

Looks like no AP for them anymore or did I miss the listing?

REAL PIA with regards to cylinders and air travel now.

Half thinking of driving but thats no fun either.

I almost went to the 3x air in December.

How many ended up discarding their cylinder rather than miss their flight?

All of a sudden I realize that competition shooting, as I knew it, is now behind me.

thanks

Theres definately no AP for Spring Selection in May, but theres nothing that says they won't have it for the National Champs in June.

The AP for spring selection is this coming weekend.

Bruce, where are you reading that there is no AP at nationals. I don't see it.

Also, there are new procedures for transporting cylinders. You can mail them to yourself to the OTC. They will have prepaid mailers at the OTC for you to send them home. Yes, a PITA. But, don't let that keep you from coming to the events, Bruce. We always enjoy seeing you and visiting with you.

Thanks
Marc

Thanks Marc,
Perhap I didnt find the right match. What is the date for Nationals?

I really do enjoy the matches and wish to get back into it

What about Benning and cylinders?

I don't have a hotel to mail to and I'm not sure I would get it if I did.

best regards

Bruce,
June 12-19 is the Rifle and Pistol Nationals at Ft Benning. I don't know about cylinder stuff for nationals. That would be a good question to ask Lindsay this weekend. I'll ask her and post her answer here next week.

There shouldn't be a problem with cylinders as long as they are empty. One of the main issues at the Colorado Springs airport is that they don't have the machines that can see through Aluminum Cylinders, but Atlanta has the machines.

I can get back but I still can't get out.

It sounds like we need a cylinder rental program.

Can anyone enter the Nationals?

Bruce,
I have used Fedex to mail the cylinders to myself for pickup at Kinkos (owned by Fedex). I am sure there must be a Kinkos in Columbus
