I'm cross-posting this here this one time as this is a once-a-year event.
For actual discussion,
please go to the original post in the
Shooting Sports subforum and post there.
http://nebraskafirearms.org/forum/index.php/topic,11685.msg83078.html#msg83078The USPSA matches (actually, all of the action shooting matches) at ENGC are open to anyone, whether or not they are members of ENGC, and whether or not they are members of USPSA or Steel Challenge. This Special Classifier is no exception---everyone is welcome to come and shoot!
...but if you are interested starting the sport of USPSA shooting, this is an important event.
-----------------------------
The Eastern Nebraska Practical Shooters will be holding a USPSA Special Classifier match with 6 classifier stages on May 4th, 2014 at the Eastern Nebraska Gun Club.
Match fee will be $20, and if you wish to shoot in a second division, the additional cost will be $5 more. (If shooting a in a second division, you will shoot with your squad through the entire match in your first division, re-squad, and then re-shoot all stages in your second division . All people shooting a second division are expecting to stay to help tear down the stages after the match.)
As usual, setup starts at 7:15am, with registration closing at 8:40 with a safety/new shooter briefing at that time. Shooter's meeting at 9am, and we'll start shooting right afterwards.
The classifiers have been chosen, and they are:
Total round count is 68, which makes it by far our smallest round count of the year, even though it is one more stage than normal.
(We like high round count stages around here!)
If you are interested in starting in USPSA, this is an important match. With six classifier stages, you can get your initial classification all in one match. (We normally only have one classifier stage every other month---and it takes a minimum of four stages to get an initial classification.)
While
anyone can shoot the match and be listed in the results, you only get a classification (your scores only get reported to USPSA headquarters for calculation) if you are a USPSA member---so get yourself signed up online early enough so that you know your member number by the time you register for the match.
USPSA Membership:
https://www.uspsa.org/uspsa-join-renew.php(It even tells you how to get your member number early if needed.)
For those interested in starting USPSA, this is a good way to begin---because not only are the stages very straightforward and uncomplicated, but the stage descriptions are available to you prior to the match so that you can already figure out what you have to do to succeed.
So if you have an interest in USPSA (and you know you have!) get yourself an annual membership to start with, and come out to the classifier match.
As usual, you can pre-register online for the classifier match---which will be opening in another week or so. (I'll update this post when pre-reg opens.)
(And as always, even if you pre-register you still need to check in at registration and pay before registration closes on match day.)
See you there!
