Thanks to Bob for inviting me to the IDPA match a few weeks back. I've signed up. This is my first time.

 

I have a brand new Saiga that has been modified but not fired. I think it may be too much to try firing it for the first time here though.

You might as well bring it. There is not much to it...load the mag, rack the bolt and you're good to go! Unless you've never shot a rifle before or inexperienced with rifles, then yes, range use may be a good idea the first few times.

Keep in mind this is USPSA and there are differences between this and what you saw at the IDPA match at Somerset. You need more mags and mag pouches, primarily. There will probably be at least one stage here that will be 28+ rounds. The nice thing about USPSA is that you can join USPSA at the match ($40 - same as IDPA) and shoot the match for free. Bring the rifle and have fun.

 

Adios,

Very confusing to have the July 14 match posted in a June post. I requested the wrong day off

Thanks Bob. I have 3 more mags on order. The good news is that it should arrive Friday. It is cutting it close though. I only have 1 double stack mag pouch that holds 2 mags. Would that be sufficient?

 

Tim is not going to make it as his daughter has observation day at Ballet school this Saturday.

As Nick said, let us know what gun and someone will probably be able to help you out.

How are we allowed to carry mags for the rifle stage? Heck, how the heck are people going to shoot bolt-action stuff like a Mosin? Maybe a little helper carrying the spare ammo? Anyway, I have no mag holders for my AK-stuff, but I could put them in my shotgun shell holder. I'll still be loading and shooting way faster than a Mosin!

I used my pockets last time for AR mags. It wasn't very efficient, but it's not like I was making a record breaking run anyway, it's just for fun. Since then I've picked up a few AR mag holders.

What gun? Someone might have some extras. I might have a spare double mag pouch.

 

I'll be using a PPQ. I figure I'll get my feet wet with a 9mm.

You will have to shoot limited 10, as the PPQ has not yey been approved for production. No biggie - don't try to set the world on fire your first (or second) time out anyway.

 

My Steyr mag holders may work for that - how many mags, total (including the ones that are coming) do you have? And if I understood you correctly, you have one double mag pouch. I'll bring two doubles - not sure if they'll work with the PPQ, but they probably will.

 

Adios,

BTW ANYONE have a lefty holster for a hi power that will be there on Sat?

 

i am bringing my friend ken and he is a lefty............if not we will figure something out.............

 

rifle stage..........hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... M1A??? :)

 

I have an ambidextrous universal type holster that I used for a 92A1 for a match. Even better it's already set up for a lefty. If you don't find anyone else with something better I can bring it and he can see if it will work for him. I'm not very familiar with the Hi Power, but it appears to be a full size, so it shouldn't be too bad. This (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003LXRQXW/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00) is the holster. I took the retention straps off but can easily be put back on.

Thanks Bob. I'm definitely not looking to set anything on fire. I'm hoping to learn a ton and have a ton of fun while I am at it.

Don't forget to arrive early. Since you are new, you will have to go through the safety briefing. See you there.

I got confused too.

 

i thought this was THURSDAY june 17th.

 

but it's JULY 17th SATURDAY

 

 

...op, maybe edit the thread title to JULY and clearly state so in the first post

No, it's fine. This thread is to announce the June USPSA match at Shongum on June 2. They have also been making everyone aware that the July match will not be on the first Saturday (7th), but the second Saturday (14th) due to the Mid-Atlantic match being on the first weekend (7th-8th).

i need to learn to read.

 

so its this Saturday.

 

 

i'll have to see if I can work around some shifts at work.

At first I read that as "Reduction in force", and then I realized you meant, "Reading is fundamental."

I have to change my yes to a no for this match. :( Already emailed Ron letting him know.

Supposed to storm tonight and clear-off in the morning. I have a feeling it'll be a beautiful day - just hope it clears out early.

No e-mail from Ron. No rain and starting to show dry roads here in western Mercer. See you there.

No rain here in Jefferson and blue skies are starting to show. Think it's going to be a nice day.
