IDPA @ SCFGPA 4/17 @ 11AM

[Jon 264]

Like the title says, IDPA @ SCFGPA. Who's in? Also, does anyone have a second setup that can be borrowed? If my pistols don't get back from the 'smith in time, I won't have a rig for the friend I'm bringing.

[MrP 81]

I'll be there, no gear to spare though, sorry.

[RecessedFilter 222]

I'll be there as usual, especially since I missed the USPSA match today at CJ.

 

No gear to spare as well, sorry man.

[Krdshrk 3,878]

Depends on the weather. If it's nice out I'll be at Fort Dix. What kinda spare setup? If they have a glock you can use my holster and equipment.

Need everything: gun, holster, mags. Also, this is not a new shooter, just someone who doesn't have any guns legal for IDPA.

I thought any gun is legal in the enhanced class?

 

edit: here we go

 

Pistols in the ESP division must be semi-automatic, 9mm (9x19mm) or larger in caliber, have a maximum unloaded weight of 43 oz. including an empty magazine. Barrel length is not directly specified, but will generally be around five inches; pistols must fit in the IDPA gun test box (see dimensions above) with an empty magazine inserted.

Won't fit in the box.

[Zell959 40]

I'm definetly gonna be there. Been looking forward another one of these since first doing the Feb event.

 

Afraid I can't be of much help with the spare setup. I've got spare G19 mags if you can round up a G19 & holster.

[StephanieSeven 70]

I'll be there. I have the setup I told you about. I'll bring it to the range Friday and put a couple rounds through. Would need 40 ammo, 155 grain. Sorry. It's finicky. No mag holders though.

[StephanieSeven 70]

We thinking dinner afterwards? If not I'm going to make plans with a friend from up that way.

[Jon 264]

Crisis averted... my pistols are back so I'm good to go!!!

[Krdshrk 3,878]

Sweet.

Kinda torn between this and Dix with the AR's. I think Dix is just too early, so I'm leaning heavily toward the IDPA match and have some questions:

 

Is this an indoor or outdoor match?

How many stages usually?

Anticipated total round count?

Max rounds per stage?

 

I shot a USPSA match at CJ last week and one at OB last fall and participated for about two years in the mid-80's. Never shot an IDPA match - should I show-up early for the safety check (did the USPSA safety check at OB) or am I GTG?

 

Thanks for the help.

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob

[Krdshrk 3,878]

Is this an indoor or outdoor match? Indoor

How many stages usually? 4

Anticipated total round count? About 100 - Bring at least 150 rounds

Max rounds per stage? Usually count on at least 1 reload per stage. Most I've seen is about 24 rounds per stage.

 

You will need to show up early for new shooter briefing. I would recommend getting there early anyway as they usually cap the registration at around 35 people.

-Indoor match

-Usually 4 stages with the turnout we've had recently

-Round count will most likely be under 100 but bring 125

-IDPA courses are either deemed Vickers or Limited Vickers. Vickers courses allow you to fire as many rounds as you'd like, Limited Vickers specifies the number of rounds you can shoot. Either way its rarely more than 20.

 

I'd recommend showing up for the Safety Check. They'll go over the differences in safety procedures between IDPA and USPSA which will be beneficial for you.

 

Hope to see you there!

[Pew Pew Plates 358]

bob, its the range we met up at. indoors

 

I'm in! I'm also in for food and beer after!

[Jon 264]

As already mentioned... indoor, 4 stages, typically no more than 18rd stages, but most stages are vickers. Regardless, I would be shocked if you shot 100rds. Hope to see ya there!

[Pizza Bob 1,488]

Thanks everyone! I was just reading over the rules. One glaring difference between USPSA and IDPA is that in SSP class there is no reward for shooting a major caliber. Kind of locks you in with a 9mm.

 

I think I'll probably shoot CDP with a 1911.

 

Thanks again. Hope to make it. SWMBO usually gives me no grief, but I'm kind of springing this on her.

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob

[RecessedFilter 222]

Bob, I suggest going. It's a lot of fun and everyone (for the most part) is usually very friendly at these IDPA matches.

 

Plus, you'll get a feel for IDPA and it's differences from USPSA.

 

I'll see everyone there!

[gunnyr 17]

Is this match for members only?

 

Scratch that last question. I had the wrong town in mind. You guys are way up there!

[RecessedFilter 222]

No, it's open to the public Gunny...in case you were wondering.

[Pizza Bob 1,488]

Finally went on the website (sorry, should've done that in the first place) and it says that you have to attend a Wednesday night practice to participate. True? If so, guess I'm out.

 

If the safety inspection is repeated before the match, and that qualifies you to shoot in the match, what time does one need to be there? The calendar says the match starts at 10 AM, but the OP says 11 AM. Is the 10 AM start time for the safety inspection?

 

Sorry guys, just don't want to show-up and not be able to shoot.

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob

[Pew Pew Plates 358]

No, you dont have to attend the wed. night practice. New shooter orientation begins at 11am. Match starts ~11:30

[RecessedFilter 222]

I believe you can only attend the wed night practice if you are a member of the range.

 

I'd suggest getting there around 10:30am.

[Pizza Bob 1,488]

Thanks guys

[MrP 81]

Practice night is members only, hope to see you on sunday.

[gunnyr 17]

No, it's open to the public Gunny...in case you were wondering.

 

Thanks! I was initially jazzed that there was a shoot in Bridgeton, NJ but realized that this was in fact in Bridgewater, NJ and that SCFGA stands for Somerset County Fish and Game.

 

Way too far for me.

[Jon 264]

Well done everyone, and congrats to Glenn for beating me by 2 points again.. bastage!

[Zell959 40]

Good job to everyone that competed.

 

It was definitely another fun event. One thing I did realize is that I'm definitely taking my time a little too much. Looking forward to the next one where Ill try to go at it with a little more hustle.

 

While on the subject of hustle, congrats to RecessedFilter for the 5th fastest overall time.

Thank you sir! I haven't seen the results yet so that was nice to read Stage 3 with the barrels must have expedited my time!

 

It was, as usual, nice to see everyone. It was also great to meet some new faces a.k.a. Pizzabob! Glad you enjoyed yourself!

 

j0n seemed to take the crown for style points this match. I'm guessing he does yoga with the balance he's got!

 

Enough talk, here are some videos. I'm still uploading a couple more so I will post them when they upload on youtube.
