    Ok, here's a thought:
    Run a "long gun" sidematch. You can run a rifle, or you can run a shotgun. Shotguns must use slugs for ease of scoring and pasting and like full power battle rifles only require 1 round per target while carbines require 2.

    Better solution, I'll zero jeeps irons for him.
    No way. And JW was just texting me that he would swap rifles with me. He'd probably max out the elevation and get me DQ'd for shooting over the berm.

    Got a kitchen pass for day after Christmas. So, I plan to be there and give it a try. It will be my first time so any pointers, and guidance as to the rules are appreciated

    I posted this in response to someone's question about his son getting into competitive shooting, but a the same applies to most anyone looking to come out: http://gulfcoastgunforum.com/showthread.php?p=238487

    There are lots of little rules that can be overwhelming to start, but don't fret over getting penalties, as long as you're safe. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

    You all just talking about the side match, right? We are still having a regular IDPA pistol match first, right? Just trying to clarify what is happening Saturday.

    Regular match to start. We like to have lengthy discussions about side matches.
