Saturday we're running another "Intro to Shooting sports" semi-match at our club. The target audience is people who are interested in IDPA/USPSA but who aren't confident enough to just shoot in a "normal" match.
Here's one of the announcements about it:
7am - setup starts (arrive by 7:30 to get a discount on your match fee).
8:00am - clubhouse opens to take payments.
Match fee is $25.
8:30am - check-in starts - be sure to show your receipt.
9am - Orientation class and safety briefing.
9:30am - start shooting
We will have 5 bays set up with the same 4 "nested stages".
There will have a 30 minute orientation "Class" ahead of the match to briefly go over what we're going to be doing. Some demonstration with a laser-gun. And a brief rundown of how the scoring works.
Stage 1 - "The Draw" - this gets you used to drawing your handgun from the holster.
Stage 2 - "The Reload.
Stage 3 - "Moving" - You'll draw from the holster, shoot some targets, move to other positions and shoot some more. There will be some steel targets here.
Stage 4 - "All together now" - Each aspect of the previous 3 stages will be combined into one larger stage. You will need to draw, reload, shoot and move and shoot some more.
Intent is to have squads with 10 shooters and 5 ROs, so lots of mentoring.
Here's the best part - the cover sheet:
