The 1991 U.S. Nationals are<br />
history. It was a production not<br />
unlike a broadway show.<br />
Planning for this match began<br />
a year ago and culminated<br />
Saturday morning, Sept,ember<br />
14th at the shoot-offs.<br />
VVhat does it take to put on<br />
a production such as this? A lot<br />
of dedicated individuals!<br />
Once the wheels were in<br />
gear, courses of fire designed<br />
and slots distributed, it was<br />
time for the set-up crew to<br />
begin construction. George<br />
Metcalf had the props at each<br />
stage ready for assembly when<br />
the crew got to PASA on the<br />
2nd of September. From then<br />
until Saturday the 7th, the<br />
hammers and nails really flew.<br />
That entire week there were 10<br />
individuals working from 8 am<br />
to 8 pm setting up the stages.<br />
The remainder of our Range<br />
Officer staff arrived on Friday<br />
& Saturday with an RO staff<br />
meeting Saturday evening. In<br />
all, a total of 54 USPSA range<br />
officials and staff gathered to<br />
administer the match. For<br />
some, it was their fifth year<br />
together. In addition, PASA<br />
had 50 part & full time workers<br />
at our disposal.<br />
What is the difference<br />
between USPSA staff & PASA<br />
staff? According to our contract<br />
with PASA, "USPSA shall pay<br />
PASA $2.00 per volunteer hour<br />
provided for assistance during<br />
the actual running of the match<br />
stages''. Other than the hourly<br />
payment, under our new<br />
contract, PASA staff receives<br />
nothing more from. USPSA. If<br />
the range officers are on USPSA<br />
staff, the individuals at their<br />
own expense must get to the<br />
match location and USPSA<br />

Most of our members don't<br />
realize the benefits we receive<br />
from the Quincy Visitors &<br />
Convention Bureau for our<br />
range staff. According to our<br />
contract with the Convention<br />
Bureau,"The bureau will<br />
negotiate and make<br />
arrangements for all meeting<br />
rooms & prize distribution<br />
rooms at no cost to USPSA. In<br />
addition, the bureau agrees that<br />
the hotel selected by USPSA as<br />
"Staff Hotel" will provide 250<br />
room nights for staff at NO<br />
CHARGE. The bureau also<br />
prints and makes available to<br />
USPSA $6,000 of Quincy cash<br />
for USPSA purchase at a 20%<br />
discount. The Quincy cash is<br />
used by USPSA staff for meals "<br />
'What other town would give us<br />
this support?<br />
The Sunday aft,er the shootoff<br />
we host a staff thank you<br />
breakfast and prize drawing.<br />
This year, USPSA allocated<br />
some additional money prizes<br />
for those staff' members that<br />
had been with USPSA over 2<br />
consecutive years. This is in<br />
addition to a drawing for guns<br />
& prizes for which all staff are<br />
eligible. After all the goodbyes<br />
were said, hugs were given and<br />
- believe it or not - the "see you<br />
next year" words were<br />
exchanged, our great staff<br />
headed for home and families.<br />
Thanks to all of you for<br />
making USPSA and the U.S.<br />
Nationals look good.<br />
