First Sunday USPSA Matches

Burk Cornelius · Jul 6, 2015

Since this is the "Premier Competition Community", and this is a hot topic right now, I thought it should be discussed here.

Oklahoma City now has 2-USPSA matches on the 1st Sunday of every month. Should one of them move to another Sunday so shooters can attend both? Should they remain like they are and let the "best club win"?

Keep it civil, or else take it to Facebook (cause nothing matters there)

Feegee vs Mitch

Tough Call! I gotta go with Mitch by KO.

It would be cool to alternate that way you're not having to choose between and attendance doesn't suffer as much.

Could be fun to shoot, but the guys putting it on wouldn't want to go straight from work to put a match together.

It will sort itself out. Probably pretty quickly.

One bright side to having 2 venues, 60 people were able to shoot a match last night and everyone was headed home at a reasonable hour (around 9). I'm still new to this game but I imagine that 50-60 shooters in the same building would make for a late night.

I'll take that action, Feegee is a scrappy S.O.B.

I think I'm gonna find out how scrappy after posting that. Lol! I can't believe I haven't received a text about it yet.

There is a reason I haven't even considered shooting at H&H on Sunday night is the stories of these matches lasting sometimes until 11:00. If I start hearing about 9:00 finish times, that might be tempting.

We had 90 shooters one night when the old owners had Heartland. Match lasted until 1am, and I had a 2 hour drive home after that.

we were done by 8:30ish

Wild Bill1 · Jul 7, 2015

I've shot some H&H matches, always well organized, fun, and have always been out before 9:00. Never shot Safety 1st but I hear it's on par with H&H. Not trying to add fuel to the fire but, just have a soft spot for H&H. If they were on different Sundays I'd be glad to shoot in a climate controlled venue.

It's been done. We are running g on the 4th Sunday now starting in August.

Actually Troy 9:00'ish is pretty typical. I only remember being there once after 11:00, that was a super classifier match where damn near 100 shooters showed up. That was one long night.
