If the stars align just perfectly, my brother and I are going to shoot in Dickson on Sat and at Green River on Sun. I hope we make it!!

Whom is designing the course? Estimate of round count?

Whom??

[HOGNUT]

Pronoun

whom (the singular and plural objective case of who)

1. (formal) What person or people; which person or people, as the object of a verb. Whom did you ask?
   
   • 1960, P. G. Wodehouse, Jeeves in the Offing, chapter XVIII: “Oh?†she said. “So you have decided to revise my guest list for me? You have the nerve, the – the –†I saw she needed helping out. “Audacity,†I said, throwing her the line. “The audacity to dictate to me who I shall have in my house.†It should have been “whomâ€, but I let it go. “You have the –†“Crust.†“– the immortal rind,†she amended, and I had to admit it was stronger, “to tell me whom†– she got it right that time – “I may entertain at Brinkley Court and who†– wrong again – “I may not.â€
     

[*](formal) What person or people; which person or people, as the object of a preposition. To whom are you referring? With whom were you talking?

• 1960, P. G. Wodehouse, Jeeves in the Offing, chapter I: “A very hearty pip-pip to you, old ancestor,†I said, well pleased, for she is a woman with whom it is always a privilege to chew the fat. “And a rousing toodle-oo to you, you young blot on the landscape,†she replied cordially.
  

[*]Him; her; them (used as a relative pronoun to refer to a previously mentioned person or people.) He's a person with whom I work. We have ten employees, half of whom are carpenters.

• 1960, P. G. Wodehouse, Jeeves in the Offing, chapter I: The eminent brain specialist to whom she alluded was a man I would not have cared to lunch with myself, our relations having been on the stiff side since the night at Lady Wickham's place in Hertfordshire when, acting on the advice of my hostess's daughter Roberta, I had punctured his hot-water bottle with a darning needle in the small hours of the morning. Quite unintentional, of course.
  

[edit] Usage notes

whom is only used as an object, whereas who is always used where a subject is required. In other words, whom may be thought of as being similar to us, them, etc, whereas who may be thought of as being similar to we, they, etc.

However, in both spoken and most written language, who is also often used as an object in place of whom. This makes who similar to you and it which also use the same form for subjects and objects.

Some prescriptivists regard such usage as incorrect, and insist on using whom to maintain a distinction between subjects and objects. This makes the distinction between who and whom similar to the distinction between we and us, or between they and them.

To some speakers (especially in US English), the use of whom is characteristic of a formal style. To some of these speakers, whom may sound stilted in informal conversation. Whom is more common in UK English, particularly after a preposition (with whom, from whom, etc).

So, Them is designing the course.

[HOGNUT]

"Them" as in the IDPA squad (Dennis, Gerry, Dan) or their 3 gun coordinator?

[Matt in TN]

Reading through the rules posted on your site - can I shoot in the Heavy Metal class if I just download my Glock 30 to 8+1, or do I need to bring the 1911?

Or does it not really matter as I'll be the only Heavy Metal shooter there anyway?

[jmecklen]

OK, "Them" is John Humkey. He is designing the stages. I haven't seen them yet. To be safe, 100 rounds of each (rifle, pistol, shotgun) will be more than enough.I will be helping John run the match. I'll update here when I know more.

We are using IDPA multi-gun rules this year (with a few minor variations). There are only 4 divisions: Stock Service Gun (SSG), Enhanced Service Gun (ESG) and Stock and Enhanced Pistol Caliber Carbine (SPCC & EPCC). Unfortunitly the GRGC website has not yet been updated to reflect the IDPA rules except for the link titled "3Gun Divisions". http://www.bggrgc.com/html/3GunDivisions.jpg. Sorry Matt.

However, we are pretty flexible, so if you want to shoot Heavy Metal, I'm sure we can accomadate.

Also note one other item of contention. Magazine capacity is 20+1 rifle, 5 +1 shotgun and 10+1 or 8+1 pistol (IDPA division capacity)

[Matt in TN]

No worries - I always shoot against the mousegunners in my head anyway. Now I'll be doing it for real :-)

[jmecklen]

We will have 5 stages.

Minimum round count is 56 pistol, 28 rifle and 10 shotgun (all birdshot, no slugs or buck).

Sorry, no shoot house this match.

[broox]

That was a great match! When I first saw the above round count, I thought it was low, but it was very fun and challenging. Thanks John!!

[Matt in TN]

Some of us needed a higher round count to make the same amount of hits - but you're right, it was very fun and challenging! Thanks to all the KY guys for their hard work and hospitality -

[broox]

Oh yeah, Mecklenburg got a procedural!

[jmecklen]

That's right! I'm bad!

Glad you guys enjoyed it. I was happy with the attendence.

John and I are both whipped! It was a long hot day starting at 8:00am and leaving at 6:00pm.

John did a great job of getting the scores posted quickly.

Next match will be in the second Sunday in June. Set-up at noon, shoot at 1:00pm.

I think it will be man vs man, but stay tuned for more details.
