Lorimor:
Here's hoping the weather decides to cooperate. 

Damn Global Warming!

Here's the details, folks, for the upcoming IDPA Nebraska Classifier Match, Saturday, March 22, at Eastern Nebraska Gun Club in Louisville, NE.  8)

The Classifier Match has 3 stages; total 90 rounds (30/stage). Bring extra ammo in case a stage (or two) needs to be re-shot.  No cover garment is required.  In order to expedite the flow of shooters, we will have 4 classifier set-ups to minimize the wait-time of shooters.

Early registration (on-site): 7:15am-8:40am.  Briefing: 8:40am.  Match begins: 9:00am. Match ends: 4:00pm. There will be continued registration ongoing during the day up to 12:00pm for those shooters who are traveling long distances within state or from out of state. (For special consideration exceptions to have additional time to register, contact info@idpanebraska.com).

IDPA members MUST bring their IDPA number at the time of registration in order for their match results to be posted to the IDPA website for shooter classification.

Fees: $20 first gun ($10 second gun if time permits; second gun must be entered in a different division than the first).

Priority in order of shooting will be given to Early Registrants and IDPA members, although non-members are encouraged to register and shoot in order to experience a Classifier Match as IDPA Nebraska continues to grow the sport in the State.  Registrants after 8:40am (and prior to 1:00pm) will be placed in the order of their arrival (time of registration recorded on their Scoresheet).

If you are interested in registering and participating in an IDPA Classifier Preparatory Course (brief class time; mostly range time) held at Thunder Alley Indoor Shooting Range in Lincoln, contact: info@idpanebraska.com. Class sizes are limited, so express your interest asap.

In an effort to improve the flow of the match, please read the IDPA Rulebook (2013 version), especially the section on the Classifier Match: http://www.idpa.com/compete/rules.

Is it too late to ask that you move this to another weekend since I have to work on the 22nd?  ;-)

JTH:
Just wanted to remind people that the IDPA classifier match is run on a cold range---effectively, the only two places you are allowed to handle your handgun is:

1) on the line under the direct supervision of an RO, or
2) in a marked Safety Area.

...and remember that you may NOT handle any ammunition (or dummy ammunition, or casing, etc), magazine, speed loader, or moon clip in the Safety Area.  (You can load up your magazines anywhere ELSE on the range, just not in the safety area.)

So for your handgun:  Either keep it bagged until you get to the line and are under the direct supervision of an RO, or once you are finished working with it in the Safety Area (practicing your draw, dryfiring, etc) make sure the mag well is empty, the hammer is down, and it is put into your holster where it stays until you are on the firing line with an RO.

You should NOT have a loaded handgun on your person unless you are on the line shooting the classifier.

This post:  http://nebraskafirearms.org/forum/index.php/topic,7025.0.html explains in a bit more detail.  Note: the range commands are a little different, because those are from USPSA.  However, the safety aspects stay the same.

Be safe!  See you all out there this coming Saturday!

ANNOUNCEMENT:  :D

There is now a website (www.idpamatchsignup.com) that allows for pre-registration for IDPA Nebraska Matches, and we will be trying it out for the March 22 IDPA Nebraska Classifier Match.  :o

When you go to the site, look for "IDPA Nebraska - Eastern Nebraska Gun Club - March 22, 2014", click it and you will see two options: signing up as an IDPA Member or as a Non-Member. Just follow the prompts from there!  :)

There is NOT an option yet for payment online, so payment will still be on-site (no card processing; therefore, only check or cash).

More details regarding prioritization of shooting order, etc are in the email that went out to those on the email list. Basically, this pre-registration will help the SOs with the efficiency of getting everyone squadded and started up efficiently....hopefully.  ;)

If you are not on the IDPA Nebraska email list, then send a request to: info@idpanebraska.com

See y'all Saturday (if any questions beforehand, you can send them to that same email address).

Thanks!!!  8)
