I goofed and tried to reserve housing too late for the Top Gun match December at the OTC. They said no housing is available now. This is a bummer because I qualified for funded housing, just missed the deadline.Is anybody out there palnning on going to the Top Gun match in the same predicament as me? Where are you staying? Is there anyplace within walking distance of the OTC? Anny help greatly appreciated!

I think it was about $60/night and was within 2 miles of the OTC
I won't be going this year

Kiko,
yes, this match is in Colorado. I haven't shot it but, as described to me (and anyone who has please feel free to correct any errors I make) it is two matches. The first is a regular 60 shot match with finals for the top 8 for both days. The Top Gun is an elimination style match where two shooters are paired and the low score eliminated and this is repeated until there is a 'top gun' left. Similar to the NCAA tournament bracket.
Fred, thanks for the info!

Actually, three matches, hence the 3X, plus the top gun match. A fantastic value for the money.

thanks Ted,
I just got my membership with USAS, I browse their web site regularly, but I guess with the additional magazine I may understand better about all the matches and activities going around. K.
