The Official Redbrush/WSSC IDPA Thread

[looney2ns]

But at red brush, there is always 1 ton of mud per 4x4' puddle. Let's see a glock shoot through that.

I said 4x4.

I'll play devils advocate here. I know it comes across as being un-manly for the brethren, but I suggest that WSSC and RB IDPA consider not planning on matches for the months of Dec, Jan, Feb each year. The biggest reason I suggest this is to give the powers that be at each club a breather, time to clear the head, a chance to recharge and regroup. Maybe reducing the burn out that comes with running a match month after month. It's always very iffy weather wise those months.

I'm pretty much a winter weather a pansy ass as well. I think it comes from shooting too much USPSA.

I was just about to post "what is this? USPSA?"

 

[Bosshoss]

Did someone say something about USPSA?
Sorry it took me so long to respond I just got home from "shooting a USPSA match today"
Wait what was the question again?

 

[sbcman]

Props man, ya'll are tougher than I thought.

One point does not make a line.

Not tough but we don't wear cover garments, we wear sweat wicking nascar style shirts instead. A cover garment would slow us down way to much and that will get you killed in the streets.

One point does not make a line.

And what is your point?
The point is ALWAYS at the end of the line though

Are you trying to make a point?


FWIW USPSA or IDPA or STEEL it doesn't matter. When some clubs take a winter break it is a break for the people running the shoots not the shooters. Turnouts are down usually when it is cold and it is the same amount of work for a match for 50 shooters as it is for 15.
When you have matches in the winter they are usually on a by the hour deal according to what the weather looks like. Well the match director and setup people can't make any plans as they don't know until the last minute whether or not they have to be there or not. Just as much stress and planning as having the match.
When I was the match director of a club we shot year around because I wanted to shoot not because the shooters wanted to shoot. Looking back on it we were nuts for having some of the shoots we had, like 15 degrees, or 6" of fresh snow(actually that was kinda fun), or mud and water after huge rains, and 100+ temps. But that is what memories are made of

BTW HINT if your Match Director "suggests" taking a winter break to avoid burnout you might want to say that is a good idea OR offer to be the Match Director for a couple of months to help out.

OK I'll slither back over to the USPSA threads now. Sorry for the interruption I just want to pick on a couple of friends.

Word.

I read one time of an Open shooter opening up on someone during a road rage incident. Pretty sure it was in the summer and concealment would have definitely got him killed.....or maybe kept him out of jail because the red dot would keep getting snagged on his vest

This is all starting to make sense.

Looks like it can get you killed in the streets.

Would that be the same red dot that IDPA shooters might be able to use next year?

Your confusing sweat wicking with fire proof.
What the hell is Perrier?
Nascar= Glamour Shots
Shooters= Candid Camera
I do like how the green brings out the fire in his eyes.
I don't know what is worse posting that picture or actually knowing where to find it at so you can post it.

 

[DustyDawg48]

So who is ready to shoot on Saturday? Anybody breaking out anything out of the ordinary before the end of the year?

I get that a lot.

Should be burning up that last of the 35 year old bullseye that seems very dirty and smells like butt, if that counts.
