Bring 300 rounds, especially if you decide to stay up late drinking the night before the match. Shooting a Texas star through a barrel can be brutal for some, lol...

Did you just take a shot at me?

Strokin04 · Jul 3, 2012

No but, someone else had sight issues (seeing double). I told him next time close an eye and the double vision will go away.

On the issue of round count, remember Semi-Pro tip #341:

Bring the exact number of rounds required. If you run out of ammo, go home

Accurate Ron only brings 1 round to a match.

hmmmm, I would have thought 1 per stage, but OK.

I never question Accurate Ron. One time I asked him "are you sure" and he kind of "play" slapped at me and I woke up in a roadside ditch.

Accurate Ron makes the rules for perfection.

On a separate note, I want to get a picture of all the BoomerShooter Jersey wearers. Everyone bring your colors

I would but it came in as a medium. I havent worn a medium since I was four and wouldnt want to ruin the moment.

Matt1911 · Jul 3, 2012

I'll wear my Boomer shooter shirt if it gets me a pic with you Burk.

Hairiest 4 year old I've ever seen. All he needs is a gold chain to complete the look.

Jersey, not shirt. But Curk might let you take an "intimate" with him.

Curk Bornelius · Jul 3, 2012

I will be at the match Saturday in case anyone wants an autograph.

Burk,
I am planning on shooting this match.
I have read the USPSA rules.
I have a couple of questions???
I know that I don't have to be an OKCGC member to shoot, but Do I have to be a USPSA member, to shoot?
Will the Plastic Holster, and Mag pouches that came with my XDM be acceptable/allowed to use for this match?
Is FMJ Ammo Allowed? No Steel.(Red river Ammo Group buy)
What Division will I be classified in if i am shooting an XDM .40 5.25 stock off the shelf with no changes?

You do not have to be a USPSA member to shoot. XDM gear will work fine. Any factory ammo should be good to go. With a 5.25 you could do limited or production depending on how many rounds you wish to put in your mags

also make it a point not to shoot with william, you will feel really slow!!!

technetium-99m · Jul 5, 2012

With factory 40 ammo you will be making major out of that pistol. If I were you I'd shoot Limited, declare major PF and fill up your mags. Consider Lim10 before production though. You aren't gaining any benefit from your major ammo in production, and just starting out, major PF scoring will benefit you more than anything else. The downside is you will be competing with 1911's etc. in Lim10.

There will be plenty of people around to help you out this weekend, don't be afraid to ask questions.
