Just in case anyone is in the area. It's at MSSA range. Usually 20-25 shooters.

Saturday should be a great day for a 3 Gun match. If we get a break on the weather, we should be looking at a high of 58 with a 10% chance of precip. The low is only supposed to be in the 40’s, so shouldn’t be too bad to get started.
Planning on 5-6 stages. We’ll keep the stages brief and to the point. Lesson learned from last month’s match. Looking to be able to finish up by 1430.
If you bring 75 rifle/70 handgun/50 birdshot/20 slugs/10 buckshot (00) rounds, you should be good to cover all the stages. Our new pigeon flippers have been assembled and calibrated, so we’ll have an additional shotgun challenge. Please note that I included buckshot in the ammo requirement. We’ll have one stage that will include some buckshot targets. Make them 00 buckshot rounds so we keep the playing field level.
For the new shooters, we're currently using USPSA rules for multi-gun competition. If you take a look at http://www.uspsa.org/rules/2011_Multigun_Rules%2012_15_2010.pdf, to see how the sport is set up and how classes are determined. Review the rifle and shotgun rules too, and you'll be ready to go. You will register by class and division. Match fees are $10 for MSSA members/$12 for non-members. I’m giving some thought to going to IMGA rules and scoring for our March match.
For those of you who haven't shot with us before, no steel core ammo or M855/SS109 on any of the long range targets. Shot size for birdshot must be 7 1/2 or smaller. No slugs or buckshot on steel targets. MSSA is run as a cold range, so no magazines in guns or gun handling north of the AP road unless you're in a safety area.
I'll be doing preliminary set-up Thursday afternoon and late Friday, so if you have any ideas for stages, send them to me and we’ll try and put your target stands and props in a bay and you can finish setting up Saturday AM. Gates open at 0800, first rounds downrange at 1000. Look forward to seeing you there!
