A big thank you to stage designers
Ken Rose, Alan Chapman and Scott Crosby. They each designed a stage which helped me since I only had to design one stage myself which freed up a lot of my time to do other things.
A big thank you to the Kenai Snowshoe gun club, Anchorage Practical Shooters (ANPRACS), and Dale Andrews for loaning me steel targets to make the match possible.
A big thank you to Bob White with the Iron Mountain Shooting club for allowing me to host matches at the Iron Mountain Shooting Range in Seward.
Finally thank you to all the shooters who came to the match.

Well done Pat. Also this is the first time I've ever seen Tac optics have fewer than irons division. Interesting.

Well done Pat. Also this is the first time I've ever seen Tac optics have fewer than irons division. Interesting.

That divison was an experiment. In my earlier matches I saw a lot of new shooters with pump shotguns, single stack 1911's, Sigs, Beretta's and what have you and a rifle with a red dot or irons. So I decided to modify limited division. (this was an outlaw match) I called this division Production and limited the handguns to anything allowed in limited but I only allowed the shooters to load with 10+1 like USPSA. This was to level the playing field for new shooters making hi cap guns not essential. Then I required pump shotguns. Most new guys had a pump but did not have a semi. This gave the pump shotgun a home. The rifle rules I left alone from USPSA limited. Red dots or irons but no magnification. I was surprized to see Production being more popular than tactical but it was. It was popular enough I am going to leave it this way.

Your production division creation seemed to work out pretty well I'd say.
