IDPA & USPSA Matches (Big Shots - Lincoln)

(1/4) > >>

OnTheFly:
Sean Gewecke (Organizer for the Rock-Your-Glock competitions at Ike's) announced before the USPSA match at ENGC that Big Shots (399 Sun Valley Blvd, Lincoln, NE 68528) will be holding IDPA "style" matches on Tuesdays and USPSA "style" matches on Wednesdays. 

I called Big Shots and they confirmed it.  They don't have anything on their website that I can find, but their facebook (https://www.facebook.com/BigShotsRange) page talks about the matches. The first USPSA match is tonight, Wednesday January 9, 2013.

Hope to see you there.

ETA: Addition of "style" in my post.  These are not sanctioned IDPA or USPSA matches, but if I understand correctly, they are working towards that end.

I think my Avatar says it all. 

I'm interested. 

NE Bull:
We really need to hit these folks up as members.

JTH:
So how'd the match go this evening?

OnTheFly:
It went well.  Several new shooters that I think may have caught the USPSA bug.  I believe there were 12-18 shooters? Maybe more, but I didn't do a head count.  Many said they would be back and that they would bring friends next week.  They also heard from several of us about how much fun the matches are at ENGC.

No one shot themselves, others, the walls, ceiling, or floor. Shawn set up a nice three station stage.  For the first match, he had it quite well organized.  There are some issues to work through, but it could be a pretty fun program.

The stage had pseudo walls (tarps) that required you to engage only the targets in front of each of the three shooting areas.  This was necessary, not only for creating a challenge, but also because shooting at too much of an angle across the range would result in damaged walls.  At each of the three shooting areas, Shawn incorporated three USPSA style targets with one "no shoot" partially covering one of the targets.

On a side note...I mentioned earlier that I spoke with Jim of Big Shots before the match today and suggested that he might want to at least join the NFOA forum so they can get some more information out regarding their range and these leagues.  He had not heard of the NFOA, and it just donned on me that I should have taken some NFOA flyers, business cards or whatever else I could scrounge.  I think they would be quite receptive to supporting an organization that is fighting for gun rights which directly affects their bottom line.  I won't be around for next weeks matches, so if any other NFOA members are going to the range (for a match or otherwise) maybe they could drop off some information on the NFOA that could give our organization some more exposure.
