Once again, due to poor range conditions we have decided to cancel Saturday's match.

Someday,  it will melt

 

Gotta be nasty there --  gets soft during the day -- freezes at night

Hey I want to start getting into these shooting competitions. How do I go about that?

Show up on the day with enough ammo mags and appropriate shooting utensil and pay your fee and then shoot. There are matches at OB and CJ and a few other places depending on where you live and how far you want to travel.

 

There is nothing to it just be safe, tell the MD that you are a new shooter and get the new shooter briefing. Then prepare to have a great day and to be hitting matches all over. The knockdown match can be shot with PCC, shotgun or pistol. You will need to have a bag or case for your long guns and a holster for your pistol or maybe shoot from low ready with your pistol if you don't have a holster.

 

Go watch some videos on You tube of USPSA, IDPA Steel Challenge or Knock down steel matches and decide which match you want to shoot.

I didn't know if you had to have memberships ...NRA membership or anything. Sounds like fun and I can wait to get out there! Thanks.

The event was still on the OBRPC website. Showed up to find it was cancelled. Several others arrived as well. Very un-cool.

Same thing on Sunday, for the IDPA.

Would be nice if the event is removed from the club events calendar.

The event runs year round, for any match always check their website the day of a match, especially if the weather is not good. Plus it was posted here the night before!!

I was relying on the OBRPC page. The weather was perfect though. Shame to have wasted it in light of our current temps.

It's a bummer, I know this to be sure.  The ice condition at the trailers makes it completely unsafe to attempt to set-up the Match, since it requires vehicles with NO traction drive on ice to get back into the trailers.  The regular web site gives information for planned events on a calendar.  The Assistant Match Director (Dave D.) always writes an announcement here on the NJGF.  And posts same in FB.  It's quicker that way and involves less people (like a web site manager).  So sorry you came for an event that was cancelled for safety.  Hope you won't hold a grudge with my friends.

 

Enjoy the Sport and be well!

IIRC they do post it right on the main website as well, on the front page under alerts

No grudges here. If it wasn't for you guys running these events, a lot of people would be stuck in a dark pen, shooting at a circle, (no rapid fire allowed)

We're Cool and it's all good.  See ya 'round the Ranges!  (Can't wait for SPRING to get SPRUNG!)
