USPSA / Shongum 11/5

[Pizza Bob 1,488]

Thought I'd beat Mike (Col Mortimer) to it and list this upcoming match while everyone is still in a dither over Old Bridge.

 

I have to say, I resisted going to Shongum simply because it was on a Saturday. Finally broke down and went (turns out my GF is glad to get rid of me - what's up with that?) and I'm glad I did. This has become my favorite USPSA venue. Ron puts on a good, well run match and they usually have some kind of side stage if you are interested.

 

Last month was cancelled due to weather (and my mother's 90th birthday , j/k, but that's why I couldn't have gone anyway) and that was supposed to be a classifier with a rifle side stage - not sure how much of that, or even if that, is going to carry over - I'll let Mike enlighten us on that aspect.

 

So, any chance of a NJGF squad at this match? I'll be there. Hope to see you. Probably have room for a rider if you're close by.

 

Adios,

Possibly in. Rifle side stage?

Possibly in. Rifle side stage?

 

If I remember correctly, there will be no rifle or shotgun side match. The classifier matches usually have the highest attendance. Therefore, they take longer to run and there is no time for the side match. The official email should go out in less than a week. I will post it as soon as Ron sends it out.

Any idea of the stages and/or fees?

Any idea of the stages and/or fees?

 

The stages will be included in the email sent out on Sunday, 10/30. As soon as I receive the email, I will post all the information. If I remember correctly, the fees are the same as always; $20 for non-members and $15 for members. I think there are six stages. Classifiers are usually short and simple stages.

Haven't shot at Shongum but might go to this one. I just need to get permission from the wifey.

[AS350Driver 56]

Already know i'm gonna miss this one. The way my schedule is working out I seem to be missing all the classifier matches, maybe thats a good thing, more time to practice. Hope you guys have a great time, i'll see you at CJ on the 13th.

[hd2000fxdl 422]

Oh great I see this just after I agree to work for someone on that day, just my luck. Is there a match in December?? I have some time off and if it's not during my ski trip I would like to check Shongum out.

[AS350Driver 56]

Harry it's usually the first Saturday of each month, I don't see why there wouldn't be a match then. Shongum is a nice place to shoot, I shot my first match there. It's definitely worth checking out.

[hd2000fxdl 422]

I will check it out, more than likely in January..

[Col. Mortimer 11]

Is there a match in December?

 

Matches are held during the winter as long as field conditions and the weather permit.

[RecessedFilter 222]

I will be in attendance..

 

I will say that I am frustrated there will be no rifle stage, but I do understand the circumstances of the match being crowded. I just got a new addition to my rifle collection and was realllyyyyy looking forward to it, especially since last months was canceled.

[Maksim 1,504]

Dre,

 

The reason for no side stage.... typically the shotgun or rifle side stage will be a regular stage, with a few mods for the side stage. Because this is a classifier match, the side stage would have to be completely new.

[RecessedFilter 222]

Gotchya Maks, I understand...

 

Still wish there would be some way to have a rifle stage though

[Maksim 1,504]

Details for classifier match from Ron.

 

 

 

WE WILL BE CHECKING RANGE CONDITIONS LATER THIS WEEK. IF THE MATCH IS CANCELLED, I WILL SEND OUT

AN EMAIL FRIDAY BY 5PM. IF CANCELLED, WE WILL HAVE THE SPECIAL CLASSIFIER THE FIRST SATURDAY OF

DECEMBER. WE ARE HOPING THE SNOW WILL MELT ENOUGH TO HAVE THE MATCH.

*********************************************************************************************************************************************************

 

November Match is Saturday, November 5th. It is a Special Classifier Match with the six classifiers listed below.

Pistol match is 70 rounds. Cost is $10 more than the usual registration.

Registration is 9:30am

Help with setting up and packing up is always needed and appreciated.

There will NOT be a side stage after the pistol match.

 

NOTE:

1. If you plan to attend, reply to this email and let me know by Thursday, November 3rd, 8am.

2. If you are new and need the safety briefing be there by 9am and see Ron.

3. If the match is cancelled for weather, I will send out an email notification around 5pm on Friday.

We have been requested by our Area Director to participate in a fund raiser for the Wounded Warrior Project.

Information is posted on the Area 8 website http://www.uspsa8.org/wounded-warrior-project

 

We plan to set up an optional side stage. It is 8 rounds of steel and disappearing targets and is not part of the match. It’s $5 to shoot it and it is a 50/50 event. Half of the funds collected will go to the Wounded Warrier Project. The other half will be paid out as prizes. All will be scored together as one division and all scored as major power factor. Depending on the number of participants the list will be divided into equal sections, two or three. The prizes will be paid out to the overall winner and those who fall above the dividing line(s).

$10 more than the usual registration....... which is?

[Maksim 1,504]

$20 for USPSA but not Shongum members. So $30 total.

[hd2000fxdl 422]

I really wish I didn't have to cover one of the guys on vacation that day. I keep missing all the multistage classifiers.

[hiker88 22]

is it okay to shoot two different divisions? I might do production and single stack.

[Maksim 1,504]

Email Ron, however probably not, depending on turnout.

[Maksim 1,504]

ttt, so who is in?

[Col. Mortimer 11]

I'll be there. The Tenafly USPSA practice match was cancelled due to no power. These stages call for accurate shot placement so I could have used some practice.

 

I think I was in a fog last match. The brain was not working and I was distracted. I'll have to do better for the classifier.

[Krdshrk 3,878]

What's the email for registration?

[RecessedFilter 222]

Check your PM's Nick!

[Pizza Bob 1,488]

I'm in

[RecessedFilter 222]

Looking forward to seeing all the usuals!

 

It's been a while...

[msg73 1]

About what time does this finish up? I'm a bit tight on time and can't be there all day.

Hard to say since, being a classifier, this is different than their usual monthly match. While it has more stages (6 vs the usual 5), they are of shorter duration/lower round count, plus they are consistent from stage to stage (no excessively long stages to back things up). It is also dependent on the turnout. The regular matches are usually done around 3:30 PM. I kind of expect this to go quicker, but I may be totally wrong. Hope that range conditions will be OK as I'm looking forward to this.

 

Adios,
