    MPSA will be having a USPSA match this Saturday, February 18th, at the Vinegar Bend range. We will be shooting 5 stages (6 if we have over 30 registered shooters) including one classifier. If you are going to shoot the match, please register ahead of time using the following link.

    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. 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

    Note which stages you build in your videos! I want to see what a production-at-heart open shooter designs.

    I designed Stage 2 from this video on the ground the morning of the match. It's not a great stage for RO's, though. Morgan ended up running into the wall and the shooter got uprange of him. I learned to think about RO's when designing.




    I designed Stage 5 from this video and I had the opportunity to actually draw it out beforehand. I wasn't able to set it up exactly like I wanted, but it lead to some very different stage plans for different people.

    Here is a different way that some people shot my stage:
