RTSP to start indoor USPSA Matches soon!

Recommended Posts

I used to run an indoor match with 2 bays, 3 squads and 4 stages.  Shooting started at 9, out by 12.  Good movement and lots of shooting. Scorse were up before clean up was finished.

It can be done, but there needs to be a limit on shooters (10 per squad) and it needs to be run efficiently

The matches will be held in both ranges after hours . 6:00 to 10 pm. Both ranges will be used. Aaron is designing courses for the matches and will be running them.

They are hoping to start end of March early April, From the horses mouth at RTSP They were looking for someone to run matches so i got them in touch with Aaron and it seems like it may be a good fit for both Aaron and RTSP.

 I'm looking forward to it. No it's not outside but it will be fun just the same.

 

 DON'T KNOCK IT TILL YOU TRIED IT :-)

Running an indoor match takes a certain skill set, but it can be done. At Old Bridge, we have run an indoor match for over 20 years. 4 Stages, 55-70 rounds. Courses have to 'fit' the venue. they have to be built so that you can still shoot on sight, but so that all rounds impact the backstop at safe angles. Certain things don't lend temselves so uch to indoor ranges, but the matches can still be a lot of fun and frankly shooting is better than not shooting. I would ask that RTSP not schedule the 2nd or 4th Sunday as there are a lot of people that shoot the two NJ matches on those days.

 

Stages can be fun with 16 rounds if built right. Equipment for USPSA does not have to cost any more than any other shooting sport. Production can be shot and won with a stock Glock and Fobus holster and 5 mags.

JIm the matches are tentatively set for the third Sunday, but they won't start until 6pm, so even if people go to the other matches they will be able to shoot this one TOO!!!

 

And yes indoor can work.  I have shot indoor IDPA at Somerset and Phillipsburg.  There is one big advantage of indoor too, no wind, no rain, no snow, no scorching sun ;)

    • What's the crime for riding a dirt bike on the street? Most likely a fine, misdemeanor at most. That justifies causing severe bodily injury through use of lethal force by auto?  There is no way to predict that he would have hit anyone, it's more like a 99.9% he wouldn't have hit anyone.  And that was a 2 lane road, not a pedestrian walkway. Hopefully he hires a good lawyer and everyone is held accountable for their actions.
    • Seriously? “Sounds Fishy”? You can’t think of a reason why the cop thought that was going to happen after watching the video? The cops are there after multiple reports/complaints of vehicles in the pedestrian walkway and reports of near misses. The ATV is on a pedestrian walkway where there are not supposed to be any vehicles and is moving at very fast pace. If he couldn’t stop for the police car, what makes you think he could stop in time for a pedestrian. He dynamited the breaks to avoid hitting the car and lost complete control of the ATV. Luckily the mass of the car prevented it from continuing to tumble down the walkway and take out pedestrians like bowling pins. If he had hit the brakes like that to avoid hitting a pedestrian instead of the car, would the ATV not have flipped? What would the now out of control ATV have done to any people in the walkway? Would the first person be hit have enough mass to stop the ATV in its proverbial tracks? I have seen plenty of pedestrians stuck. It is never like the movies. They don’t parkour out of the way of a speeding car - especially when pushing a baby carriage and the vehicle is approaching from the rear in a place where you think you are safe because vehicles are it permitted.

    • Why would he think the ATV rider was going to run over the pedestrians? Were the pedestrians laying in the road? Sounds fishy. A good lawyer will have a field day with this one.
    • If I lived in the hills, (or the burbs with a tall tree) I'd invest in at least one dedicated repeater and a solar based system to power it.  I don't think you need a tremendous amount of battery capacity, as the repeater will be on standby most of the time.  It will only draw serious current when it transmits. I think one could set up a reliable, self sustaining private node for around $1,500, maybe less.   Agree 100%
