    MPSA will be having a USPSA match this Saturday, April 7th, at the Vinegar Bend range. We will be shooting 6 stages including one classifier. If you are going to shoot the match, please register ahead of time using the following link.



    https://practiscore.com/mpsa-040718-uspsa/register



    Match Start Time:



    It is a must to get to the range on time so that we can get setup and start on time. Everyone should be signed in by 9:15am so that I can get the squadding done and we can have a shooters meeting at 9:20am – 9:25am. Stages should be setup and ready by 9:20 as well. If we all do our part to get to the range a bit earlier then we can get done shooting at a decent time.



    Who can come: EVERYONE



    Match Fees: $10 for MPSA members, $20 for Guest and $5 for Juniors. If this is your first match as a competitive shooter your match is FREE.



    What do I need to shoot an USPSA match? Eye and Ear Protection (safety glasses and ear muffs or ear plugs) Any brand of Handgun with a caliber larger than .38/9mm. USPSA divisions encompass 9mm, .38 cal, .40 cal and .45 cal. You will need a holster and at least 2 magazines and pouches. Our matches normally consist of 5 stages with 25 to 30 rounds each so having additional magazines is a plus. Bring at least 150 rounds of ammo. Sometimes the stages require more and sometimes less. Pasting, Setting Steel and Scoring:



    If you are not the shooter on deck or reloading after you shoot then you should be helping to set steel and paste targets. This really makes a difference in how long the match takes to complete.



    New Shooters: If you are planning to bring a new shooter please make sure to get them to the range early so that they can go through the new shooter orientation.



    See you at the range

    I'm planning on being there, if the weather changes. It's been going back and forth between 80-100% chance of morning thunderstorms so far this week.

    Weather permitting for me also, if it’s storming when I wake up I’m staying home.

    Unless something radically changes in the next 5 or 6 hours, I won't be making the drive up there tomorrow morning. I'm definitely not showing up early to build stages in thunderstorms.

    Well crap, this is the latest computer model and this is for 3am. I guess it’s safe to say no shooting tomorrow.
