Just want to post a few things from my perspective; I dont have a schedule, I dont have a secretary I can work around, or vacation days, or get paid if Im not at work, working. About the only thing that vaguely resembles a perk is to shoot the match for free. When I get to shoot, which is still about less than 50% of the matches that I help put on.
I want to help put on a good match, make it safe, and then get the **** home so I can remember what my family looks like. When Im wasting MY OWN paper, printing out score sheets the night before the match at 3am because I forgot about it, I will tell you how much I give a elephant dung if the scores are posted withing 24 hours.
As it stands now, our volunteer score compiler and calculator (who just so happened to write a database pgm to do the scores, on his own time) is probably feeling enough heat from last weeks nice little conversation on this website (which was so fun), about who to send the scores to, and when, -that I fully expect him (and dont blame him) to pass on doing this for us (okcgc 3gun) in the future. Matter of fact, hes a good guy and doesnt need any of this.. Im guessing that youre guessing correctly on when I will most likely get them done if I am to do them in the future.
Whether this post is here because of the previous conversation last week, or just a general" thought provoking question" is irrelevant in my opinion, because these are my "general" thoughts on if I am, or were, sometime involved on putting a match, or not putting on a match.
Whats even better now is that since kurt is now on purgatorial "mod review" , Im going to be the only idiot who's going to look at this website, and all the koom-ba-ya polls and ball-scratching-behind-the-computer "suggestions" some folks will come up with.
I want questions or suggestions like, "hey, can we maybe have some support side shotgun shots, or some intermediate range rifle, or maybe we can use this target, or check out this one stage I saw at this match"; instead, its " are the scores done?", and "they should be out within 24 hours, because it should be run like a business???"
Really?
Really?
A good shooter knows when he has a good match. and until we give away prize mangos or ar-15's for order of finish, the scores will be up and available when it pleases those whose responsibility it is to do so.
so dont cut up the golden goose, or youll get the horns.
