Title: Waterman Regsitration
Post by: Mike 8 on September 08, 2011, 11:15:28 PM
Looks like they re-opened the registration for this weekend at Waterman.  Earlier it was sold out.  Now it is not. Unfortunately, for some reason, I still can not register.

Anybody have an update to what is going on?

Thank you.

The shoot is pretty close to full.  Also, we've been trying to work around a glitch on Eventbrite's end that affects sales when shoots are close to full.  I've opened a few more spots to compensate.  Please try again if you wish.

WR closed the pregs this morning at 52 for a very good reason. Do not open it for any more!  >:D

Rimshot went to bed.  Pretty sure he only opened enough to even out the Saturday only/Sunday only tickets - I'm not sure he knew anything about the registration being forced closed for any reason.  Seems to be sold out again, anyway - have fun this weekend!

He didn't know. For some reason, I didn't think of letting him know. My bad and my apologies.

No worries at all.  I'm the only one who ever ends up on his bad side, so you're good.   ;)

In fact, I'm the one who pointed out this thread to him as he was heading to bed...I'll take the blame.  If you have too many shooters show up, send them on over to Indiana and we'll find a spot on the our lines for them.   ;D

I had problems registering for Waterman also - supprised we are not using the 600 yard and bringing more folks in for the shoot - looks like there is a waiting list on the registration site. Very dispointed it won't be as big as last year.

Yes, it is a disappointment that there is no 'big' shoot this year.  That was a good time!  O0 

However, we can no longer use the 600yd range for a "big" shoot as we had last year b/c we cannot fire into the side berm anymore.  We would need to walk all the way down to the end of the 600yd range to set up targets which is QUITE a walk.  The max number would be about 75 shooters. However, AS has been on the 200yd range for the entire year, according to the ASC calendar, so there we are. 

It's too bad, b/c I know we had more people wanting to sign up.  I just encouraged those who contacted me to sign up for the Oct. shoot which they said they would do.  So, hopefully the Oct, Nov, and Dec shoots will be filled as a result.  We had very few preregs (6 I think), until Western Rose send out the mass email invite just a few weeks ago to those whose emails we have from previous shoots.  Then the preregs came pouring in!!!  I'd say that's a good avenue to remind previous attendees of the shoots so they can prereg in time.

Good to hear from you,
Patriot Gal
