Get out your bug repellant spray.....
There is an IDPA Nebraska Indoor "BUG" Match scheduled for Saturday, January 10, 2015 at Thunder Alley Indoor Shooting Range in Lincoln, NE.
Match runs from 8:30am-11:00am. A very SHORT briefing and walkthrough will be at 8:15am (Read the IDPA BUG Match rules below carefully as we will NOT be taking up the walkthrough/briefing time to review the rules).
For those who do not register online by the 5:00pm CST deadline, they can register on-site at Thunder Alley beginning at 7:45am on the day of the match.
Fee is $10 for non-members of Thunder Alley and $5 for members.
Since this match is a formal IDPA match (i.e., it is listed on the IDPA website, and scores for current IDPA members get posted to the IDPA website), there will only be one gun entry allowed for the match when registering online at
http://www.idpamatchsignup.com?matchid=1B2555C7-5896-4CC0-A367-458EA2FA3F94 . Depending upon the number of shooters and time remaining after the last registered shooter has shot, we may allow for a second gun to be shot for fun (i.e., not for inclusion in match scoring/posting).
Online registration will close at 5:00pm CST on Friday, January 9, 2015 (I included CST because a few folks seem to live in some other time zone and continue to register online towards midnight and even in the wee hours of the day of the match). ONLY those who have registered online by 5:00pm CST will have scoresheets prepared for when they come to Thunder Alley on Saturday morning. The on-site registrations will need to complete the scoresheet onsite.
