I didn't know that idpa matchs allowed rifle.. I never have done one but I gather much different then uspsa. Would it be a bad idea to do first ipda with a rifle? Or were people using both? .. I'm always looking for excuse to use my AR in a match

No problem. What's at OB today? I shoot there for the 4th Sunday USPSA so offer stands for then if you would like to borrow the pouch.

Mr_shoot_it_all I have a double mag pouch from Blackhawk for double stack mags that you can borrow. I guess easiest way is look for me in parking lot. I have a silver VW GTI. I'll wear a UStraining center hat to make it easier to find me. Heater_Bob: I have 4 chip mcormick 10rd and 3 Wilson 10rd 1911 mags. Your more then welcome to em if you want. I'll have them in my bag- also I have a SERPA holster for a full-size 1911 if you need holster. Plus single and double 1911 mag pouches. I'm using a glock so your welcome to whatever you need.

Def some more parking spaces if cars parked bit differently. On the few long treks to the access road where I parked I noticed at least 4+ spots where cars would fit if the vehicle already there wasn't sideways or whatever. But then again I doubt anyone expected 97 people in attendance.

Good match, some stages really clicked and when I walked off the line it felt like I had a decent plan and stuck to it.. But other stages my plan went out the window and few times got caught at slide lock and bad angles. Importantly I learned some new tricks and got more confident with activator ports... I use to get really slow in fear of sweep my hand when activating- I got some good tips from guys on my squad, and was able to gain speed. I also was a bit quicker on some 180 traps that I usually would go extra slow to make sure I didn't over step and break 180 rule. Also we had a good squad and everyone helped tape. I doubt anyone likes to tape stages but if we all jump in it's over quick and were back shooting faster. Also I'm glad other guys stayed to break down, we got our stage down pretty quick (even got all the full-sized fence sections from Stage 3 to the trailer fast) Who uses google sketch for the stage designs? I know I saw pics before I just forget.. I ask because I wanna play around with ideas and didn't know if you had to create each prop/target from scratch before having the library of items to work with.

I'll be attending. Hopefully I don't catch some of the high profile names on my random drawing 1st round. Should be fun either way..especially with the Glock stages.

Good shooting Jon. Once again we were neck and neck for pistol. Rifle you kicked my a**, but a small part of that was my gun being picky about working right. I'll run a few hundred more thru her to be ready for the third Saturday OB action rimfire. You in?

I will more then likely attend. That's pending on mothers day stuff. I might even clean my glock.. 4 matches a month and haven't cleaned it since April haha. Then again it's only 1000+ rd count I could consider waiting to 5k

Stef: did they release your mascot? What were the demands attached to the proof of life photos. Great match by the way, huge turn out. Keith got some amazing photos, so big props to Keith for taking the time to take photos even with the long day shooting two classes.

Just tell the RO you have 3 mags and someone has to load for you.

Rifle rules are pretty much the same. Low ready start position, and there is irons or optics for classes Good amount of AR's in .22LR like the mp15-22 and other makes. Also good amount of 10/22 action and some GSG rifles also. If the trend is rising as it did last few months then I would expect to see even more rifles. I'm excited to finally have my kit together to get in on some rifle on steel goodness. What are you planning on using? Keep in mind the 5 mag thing if you haven't done steel- but pending what your using then I'd guess someone would be willing to share mags if needed. Also not hard to have someone load mags for you while you shoot.

I meant squaded up haha. Damn iPhone autospell

Sounds good. I assume the usual crowd will be around, hopefully we all get squared up.. Seems this will be a large match so not sure how easy it will be to get the SS crew together. Not sure if I'm working Friday night- might stop in to break in the new .22 and zero optics if I'm off.

I'm in for sure. Also i'm told my AR .22 upper has arrived, but I am out of state still so I havent seen it. I am going to be shooting pistol irons, and rifle but unsure if iron or optic yet... decision time.. Seeing as the guys I know shooting rimfire rifle use optics I'll likely end up running an eotech on the 22 to shoot in that class too.

I doubt I could make it that day, but its good to know there is a course in jersey. I never really looked into it, but I have been interested in doing sporting clays again one of these days What's this place like? Is it busy or by reservation? I did a sweet private course in Canada a while back and other then that not much experience doing sporting clays. Regular clays isn't new to me though.
