Match on 3/20/11

Dean and his crew at Topton (from my experience) has always put on some great USPSA matches. Not to far away (depending on where you live)

Here is some info from their site;

10:30 AM, followed by shooters meeting and walk through. This is a volunteer sport. Setup and tear down help is needed.

New competitors must notify the Match Director as early as possible to arrange for the required safety check.

Good possibility for me. Would be my first match.

Bump for the edit.

Any details on the rifle stage?

 

Edit: The details I am looking for are something along the lines of:

What are the limitations for rifles we can use?

What kind of course will this be.....meaning what range and style course will we be shooting?

Is it similar to USPSA style shooting, just at rifle range?

What do you mean by "100% payout"?

I don't run the matches there, but it will be a USPSA style stage with a rifle. You can pretty much run what you bring. After all it is PA a "free" state. Payout is based on how you place. So if 20 people pay $10. To shoot, that $200 is going to back as a payout to the shooters.

Sweet, this will give me a chance to put my newly converted Saiga through the paces.

what if u dont have a rifle?

my Saiga is waiting to be built & picked up!

Alex I don't think the rifle stage is mandatory, I'm pretty sure it's a "just for fun" stage...but you're more than welcome to shoot mine.

So I tried calling USPSA directly, but they aren't open right now. I joined USPSA at the match last sunday, paid my dues in cash. I have not received anything in the mail. If I am going to another match tomorrow (most likely Topton) how do I fill out the form if I don't have a member number?

You will get your member number in a few weeks. For hte time being, when you register, tell them your number is pending. They will mark it as so. When the scores are submitted to USPSA, they will match it up to you.

Awesome, thanks Maks.

Awesome, thanks Maks.

 

To add what Maks said, the membership cards sometime ship out in a week. I didn't fill out one at a match, but did it online and I think I did that on a Friday and it was in my mailbox the following Friday , now you can be like the kid on X-Mas eve waiting.

I didn't fill out any card, just filled out the form and checked off that I was signing up to become a USPSA member, and paid the dude $40.

Yes, you can sign up at the club or online. If you sign up at the club, your first match is free, so that is a win to sign up locally. You pay the same price online, yet you also pay for first match.

Yea, that's why I signed up at the range. This was last Sunday, so hopefully I will be receiving my card soon.

 

Side not...or actually back on topic. The Topton match was a fun match. Met up with Luis there, and didn't know anyone else.....but everyone was nice. It was fun, and challenging,. I don't feel like I did nearly as well as I did the first match, and wish I had at least one more mag to run with. Had a pretty decent qualifier. They also had to call off the rifle stage at the last minute due to the match ending late, was kind of disappointed about that.
