Dan Hurley will have to chime in on the rules. But it seems like ever year, there is always someone that puts a hole in the plate
Yeah, I understand the need to protect the steel. However, last year I saved my limited amount of XM193 for the steel stage and used Silver Bear on the rest.
I'd put steel on every stage!
including a Texas star somewhere
Actually, I think I wouldn't mind seeing the star at about 40 yards, with no support to shoot it, unless you went to kneeling or prone.
That sounds... hard.

You need to shoot the Nauset match on Halloween.
I just got a flyer for that! That's going to need a LOT of 10 round magazines! Or 1 Beta mag. No, I don't have one of those.
So Dave,I have no idea what you guys are talking about. That being said I may try out my stock AR15. It will be FUNny!
So Dave,
Are you going to come and play with rifles with us?????? You'll find out some of what we're talking about, if you can figure out the secret handshake.
What makes this not a good first match for someone? It sounds like it would be a great time
I need to get the plans for the coat hanger mag holder that Mike used in Maine this weekend!
That reminds me of something I've been meaning to ask, what's the best way to bring long guns from stage to stage?
Dan- as of now that is the plan! I have a plan vanilla iron sighted AR15. It should be sighted in... I hope! I need to get the plans for the coat hanger mag holder that Mike used in Maine this weekend!
I'm selling the mag hangers. $1 per hanger for the standard model. The tactical version will have a special black coating and are used by HSLd operators around the world. They will be $45 each. How many of the tactical version can I put you down for?

Tough being unemployed?

I have a job. I'm not sure where it is. I think they are paying me to stay away.
Dave,
I have an extra double stack mag pouch for ar mags if you would like to borrow it?

I think the basics of competing safely are easier with a pistol.

5.2 Carry And Storage, Competitor Equipment
5.2.1 Carry and Storage – Except when within the boundaries of a safety
area, or when under the supervision and direct command of a Range
Officer, competitors must carry their firearm unloaded in a gun case,
gun bag or in a holster securely attached to a belt on their person (see
Rule 10.5.1). The competitor’s long guns must be unloaded and carried
or stored in one of the following conditions (see Rule 10.5.1).
5.2.1.1 Competitors must use a chamber safety flag, or device, that is
clearly visible externally to the gun or carry in a case at all times
when the rifle is not in use (except whilst carrying out the activities
permitted under Rule 2.4.1 and 5.2.2).
5.2 1.2 Carried/shouldered or slung from the shoulder with the rifle reasonably
vertical. Match Directors may require this to be "vertically
upwards" or "vertically downwards" providing this is made
clear to all competitors in a reasonable manner
5.2.1.3 Carried in a slip or case (it is preferred that the rifle is carried
reasonably vertical). Alternatively, the rifle may be transported
or stored without a slip or case, whether or not reasonably vertical,
in a mobile rack or carrier, provided the firearm complies
with Rule 5.2.1and is only placed or removed under the supervision
of a Range Officer, or while in a Safety Area, or when
being transferred directly to/from a staging area as described in
Rule 5.2.2.
5.2.1.4 Under no circumstances, except when under the supervision of,
and in response to a direct instruction issued by a Range Officer,
will the rifle be loaded (see Rule 10.5.13) or have empty detachable
magazines fitted except that a competitor may practice the
insertion and removal of empty detachable magazines while in a
Safety Area.
Seriously, I completely understand that rifle ammo is ridiculously expensive and I wish that there was light at the end of the tunnel. But this is only once a year so let's go out and find a pair and strap 'em on. It would be very difficult to score a fair rifle match if some competitors are using ammunition that isn't on the same scale. Folks asked for a Rifle Match and we're going to do our best to make it a good one; so let's all bring a rifle.
Hey,
Do they shoot rifles in IDPA????????? J/K.
TTFN,
