I'm helping Juan with the planning and he needs to know how many might come to arrange the food, prizes, so please let me or Juan know if you are coming or better still go to the site and register online.
Also, some of us are planning on doing some trading that weekend and Thursday afternoon. LD is slimming down his large collection of really great air rifles and pistols. I'm bringing a lot of stuff too. So, bring stuff to trade if you want for some really fun evenings of dickering

This is going to be one HELL of a course at 36 Troyer!!!

I think Temecula is the one place that is more difficult than Battle Mountain.

The wind at the shooters box isn't typically the wind you get at the target, targets often sit atop rocks without and type of wind indication at the box or for the length of the lane. All you have is the string and I believe a couple times using the string was not allowed (LD and his wicked ways).

Thank you Wayne,

As JW mentioned, LD has hosted some incredible matches in the past and I am honored to be a part of the Western States Championship and GP this time around. We are working hard to host an event worthy of the talent that has signed up already, and anxiously awaiting the ones that are still contemplating taking on the Temecula challenge.

The site for this match is indeed challenging, with beautiful rock outcrops dictating and imparting their own individual spin on the wind from target to target. Though in my opinion not as extreme as Battle Mountain (The Toughest FT Course on Earth) one must also carefully consider the steepness of each shot and make the right calculations. We look forward to meeting the AAFTA requirements and can't wait to see the smiles on the faces of those who manage to figure it all out.

Last but definitely not least, the City of Temecula has much to offer after the match, from world-class Vineyards and Hot Air Balloon tours, to great dining opportunities, and at only one hour's drive from San Diego and all of its attractions, one can easily turn this into quite a vacation. Plan accordingly folks and join us.

Thank you Garrett we look forward to having you and your club members shoot with us. Personally, I haven't shot Field Target very long or attended many GPs as my work offshore literally kept me off the land for many years, but I've been a life long fan of the sport and a student of it from afar.

I was also lucky to be able attend your Sonoran GP and the WFTC last year. As you've probably noticed, I've borrowed quite a bit from your events and hope you don't mind; It's been said, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, and though we will surely fall short, the bar you and your club have set is my north star.
