Tactical Journal Article: If At First You DO Succeed

April 9 - If the compliments I received are any indication, the 2009 Coastal Bend Challenge was a resounding success and certainly one of the best to date. As Match Director, it was an enormous amount of work but I could not have done it without the Safety Officers, Scorekeepers, and Staff so to each of you, my personal thanks for your assistance and support. The same goes for our sponsors who stepped up to the plate..thank you very, very much.

The scores are available at both the CBS website as well as at IDPA National and congrats to all the top shooters.

Finally, our two hard-working photographers provided me with some excellent photos and both the competitor and staff galleries are available via the main menu "PHOTOS" link above.

Thanks to everyone for attending the Coastal Bend Challenge and we hope to see you next year for what is arguably one of the best IDPA sanctioned matches in the state.

Most sincerely,
