There will be five stages. I do not know what they will be but I am hoping for a long stage with a lot of movement.

Most are AR-15 clones but a couple of us shoot the Beretta CX4 Storm. My uses the same magazines as the 92FS. Typically, one of the pistol stages will be used with a few changes such as some long shots.

Roger:

 

I look forward to meeting you. Remember to get there BEFORE 9:00AM. Let Karen, who is in charge of signing up everyone, know you are a first time competitor. You have to go through the safety check which is: draw, fire two shots, reload, fire two shots, unload and show clear, hammer down and holster. Ask for me, I will give you some help and you can be on my squad.

Mike.....

 

I cant stay past 11am..... so I am not going to compete.... just coming to watch

[cold shot 1]

Mike,

 

Is there going to be a briefing with the incorporated rifle stage ?

 

Not sure what to do with the rifle when I get there.

[Col. Mortimer 11]

Is there going to be a briefing with the incorporated rifle stage? Yes. Once the regular match is finished, we set up the rifle stage and have a walk through. The safety rules are the same as the regular match. Just watch the shooter ahead of you and ask questions.

 

Not sure what to do with the rifle when I get there. Once the rifle stage is set up, bring your CASED rifle to the safety table. Uncase the rifle and open the action. With muzzle up, carry it to the rack.

Tell Karen when you sign up. She will take care of it. See you Saturday and dress warm. It looks like it will be cold with a chance of snow showers.

Dave and I always watch the weather on a Friday before a match. We knew it was going to be cancelled.

Was perusing the USPSA site and noticed that Old Bridge Rifle and Pistol Club has it on the 4th Sunday of the month - I may try them but then again, end of December may be snowing, maybe not.

Can juniors shoot at this match?Do I need to be a member?

[cold shot 1]

No, you don't need to be a member to participate in the match

[Col. Mortimer 11]

There is no minimum age. However, the shooter must be able to safety handle a firearm. The Range Officer will determine if the shooter is qualified.

Great, thanks. Will 4 magazines on the belt be sufficient and is "official match ammunition" going to be sold?

This is a Level I match so bring your own ammo. We do not sell ammo, match or otherwise.

 

Four is the minimum but five or six would be better. If you drop a mag due to a malfunction, it's nice to have a couple back-ups. You can get by with four mag pouches, just keep your first mag in your hand or pocket.
