    All,

    Bullets and Bones in Defuniak Springs is considering becoming a sanctioned S/C range for 2017! :first:

    Like all things, there is a catch.

    1. The first thing is RO support. How many of you are willing to help out? We will continue with our first Saturday match schedule.

    2. How many of you will participate? I know quite a few folks are travelling to Tally for their matches (carpooling).

    The range is willing to purchase a starter kit to get this ball rolling! I will remain as the MD and this type of shooting will likely replace the GSSF-style matches.

    WHAT DO YOU SAY???! Post your comments on this thread.

    As always, be safe out there,
    Bob

    Bob, are you pretty much set on first Saturday? I would not put it on the same day as Talon USPSA. Just my 2 cents

    I hear you. With so much IDPA shooting in the area, the first Saturday was our only local option. And it works with my work schedule too.

    What a blessing we have here when we have TOO MANY matches locally to shoot them all! I will post more Bob when I'm not one finger typing on my jitterbug phone.

    Bob that sounds like fun. I am not an RO yet, but plan to be. Not sure I could be there every month, but I would be glad to help at least half the time.

    I can help RO and even MD if you need it. The first Sat is good for me, and prob the best option for us west of Tally. I know Defunkyiak is "two weeks from everywhere", but CORE is in the bush too and we've been getting a good crowd out there because the product is good. Sanctioned Steel Challenge i think would be a nice addition. IMO, the best place for budding IDPA/USPSA shooters and a great place for current shooters to work on speed and transitions. Also super easy to MD, RO, score, set up and tear down.

    Can we have access to two bays and run at least four stages (100 rounds minimum) a match? Can we get the fee at $15?

    Are you catching woe from your GSSF guys? I thought you might alternate steel/gssf.

    I would say you have enough willing participants to make this happen. Issue the marching orders! Maybe even a meet/discussion at b&b?

    Thanks Bob for getting this rolling.

    Though I've never shot any Steel Challenge, I am definitely up for something new! I am willing to help out, as well, when available.

    As was stated above, having too many matches to shoot is a good problem to have!

    Glad you're taking the initiative, Bob.
