    MPSA will be having a USPSA match this Saturday, February 6th, at the Vinegar Bend range. We will be shooting 5 stages including one classifier. If you are going to shoot the match, please register ahead of time using the following link.

    https://practiscore.com/mpsa-020616/register

    Match Start Time:

    It is a must to get to the range on time so that we can get setup and start on time. Everyone should be signed in by 9:15am so that I can get the squadding done and we can have a shooters meeting at 9:20am – 9:25am. Stages should be setup and ready by 9:20 as well. If we all do our part to get to the range a bit earlier then we can get done shooting at a decent time.

    Who can come: EVERYONE

    Match Fees: $10 for MPSA members, $15 for Guest. First time shooters are FREE.

    What do I need to shoot an USPSA match? Eye and Ear Protection (safety glasses and ear muffs or ear plugs) Any brand of Handgun with a caliber larger than .38/9mm. USPSA divisions encompass 9mm, .38 cal, .40 cal and .45 cal. You will need a holster and at least 2 magazines and pouches. Our matches normally consist of 5 stages with 25 to 30 rounds each so having additional magazines is a plus. Bring at least 150 rounds of ammo. Sometimes the stages require more and sometimes less. Pasting, Setting Steel and Scoring:

    If you are not the shooter on deck or reloading after you shoot then you should be helping to set steel and paste targets. This really makes a difference in how long the match takes to complete.

    New Shooters: If you are planning to bring a new shooter please make sure to get them to the range early so that they can go through the new shooter orientation.

    Jogan, JWlineman and I are squaded in 1.

    It's supposed to be low 30's on Friday night but get to mid 50's on Saturday, so bring handwarmers and dress in layers.

    It was earlier than that, I think. I know we go out to eat afterwards and I still manage to get home before 3pm.

    Matches are usually wrapped up between 1200-1230, at the latest. Last several have been 2 squads and five stages, zero wait time to shoot a stage due to a squad not finishing. Well managed match, it's a great time!

    What time does the small bus pull out of the Malvis Exit? Is there room on the bus?

    In the past, we've pulled out of Chik-Fil-A at 7am. This allows us plenty of time to get there, as well as help set up a little before the match.

    We should have room for you on the short bus. We can stick range bags underneath the back seat and in the toolbox, if needed. That reminds me...I need to clean out the back seat of my truck.

    I signed up last night and would like a spot on the bus. Thanks. I was not to sure of the class and power factor- I guess we can figure that out Saturday morning. See you at ChiK-Fil-A- do they serve breakfast?

    PM sent regarding division/class/power factor/etc. We can get you sorted out before the match, so you know exactly what to expect and so the match director already has your info.

    oh, and in case anyone had doubts....SHOTGUN!

    Are you talking about a side match? T-Jeep already said he needs me up front to go over the new shooter gamer theory. Said something about bringing his bike along to take out the competition. Not sure where he is going with that. Do I need a helmet?

    if you're riding anywhere near Jeep, you'll need a helmet.
