The Official Redbrush/WSSC IDPA Thread

I've got an HD camcorder that I can put to use for the asking. Glad to do it.

Now we are talking! I want a GoPro but that $299 price tag has stopped me! I keep saying we need more pictures taken at these matches; a little video wouldn't hurt either...especially for the next inductee to Club 4 x 4 !!!

Email for RB this Saturday. Classifier time with BUG match!

Hey everyone, we will be doing a classifier this Saturday. There will be 90 rounds needed for this. Look at the IDPA web page for details: http://www.idpa.com/.

Also, thanks Vicky for reminding me, we will be having a BUG match afterwards. Review the specifications for a BUG gun click on the IDPA link above. You will not need a holster for the BUG match.

New shooter's meeting at 09:30AM, match starts at 10:00AM, and as always, any help in setting up helps us start on time and is always appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

Question: Who is Vicky? Is this a pet name for Brad or Scott???

I won't at this one but ya'll have a good time with it!

Since it was sent at 4:01 (right after work) I'm guessing that Vicky is a pet name for the guy in the next office.

Ah, makes sense

Can I use my m&P as a BUG gun for the side-match? I figure I can duct tape/bungee cord it around my ankle or whatever to make it work. I might have to wear sweats to semi-conceal it though...

 

[DustyDawg48]

Looks like I'm suiting up for an ESP run on Saturday! Don't know if I will be able to do the BUG though.

Going to Holiday World this Sat so I won't be there. I may try and take a vacation day for WSSC. I really don't want the Kolonel to be my only match in 2 months.

I took two half-days on the fridays before to guarantee I'd have both RB and WSSC days off, I need all the practice I can muster before the KK.

Are you doing this willingly? I've lived in Indiana for a little over 10 years and live about 10 miles from the place and have managed to avoid it the whole time

I did similar...but the Friday before WSSC is to hit the Fall Festival LOL I will be slightly late to WSSC since Big Man has a soccer game at 10.

So, is anybody going to try for something different or going to try and class up in their normal division? I figure I can run the one I'll take to Sellersberg and give an ESP run a shot and see what happens.

Back in the day, before FaceTube, I was a photojournalist and have tried to keep up with it. I'm happy to bring camera & gear for photographs at RB & WSSC if the powers that be are interested. Gives me another reason to wear the vest!

I don't want to mess with a different platform, pistol this close to Sellersburg so will stick with what I plan to run there.
Question... If we run the classifier and score worse, drop a class, what happens? Do we stay at the higher class?
Seems there's an opportunity for less scrupulous gamers to drop down?

Man, that would be unique. An honest reason to wear a photographer's vest to a match Might cause issues though "is that a spare mag in your pocket??" "No, just a roll of film."

You can't drop in classification for scoring lower on the classifier than a previously higher run unless you have a reason (usually medical) that is approved for a drop from HQ.

If you're gonna game, you've gotta do it the first time

Yeah! Bring it! I think it would make for great documentation for both clubs. It would be cool to look back a few years and see who was shooting with us; I know from looking back on my first couple of IDPA scores that there are very few shooters from that time. A lot of names have come in gone in the 4 1/2 years that I've been shooting IDPA

I'll have to admit, when I first started getting interested in handguns and decided to get my Ltch, a friend to me I should get hold of Dusty (who I hadn't talked to in a couple years) , he was all big into guns, shooting, etc. I found him on Facebook and saw some photos of IDPA stages which piqued my interest and now own a couple pistols, reloading/casting equipment and made some pretty cool friends out here at the ranges.

Roger that, I'll bring it & see if the ranges / shooters on the squad are ok with it (Ranges from legal perspective, shooters from pucker perspective ). Will find somewhere to post them so people can grab whichever images they want

What's wrong with HW? And yes I'm being forced.
