Hello, all
North Porter County Conservation Club closes out the 2015 USPSA Handgun season with our November 1st match at 9am Central Time ("Chicago" time).
Five stages per match this year (and in the future, we expect), four excellent field courses designed by our crew of wizard stage directors...
Going to have to pull the plug on the North Porter IDPA match scheduled for Sunday the 16th. Some lake effect snow and sub-freezing temps suggest taking the day off.
We're going to a catch-as-catch-can system: If good weather comes along, we'll take advantage and schedule on short notice. It...
USPSA match at Oak Park SC this Sunday the 9th.
Our traditional end-of-season "Revolver" match. All those other divisions still allowed but the match will favor sixguns and be as ten-shot hostile as possible.
Six stages: a classifier and five field courses. $15/20/25 tiered match fee for...
A note from the Match Director...
This features a stage by Indiana's great stage designer, "Slacker" Reilly.
Come on up and enjoy the subtlety and graciousness of The Outstanding One. ("O O")
Oh, on occasion...
Incidentally, we actually had 68 signups, a new club record turnout for USPSA.
Thanks to everyone for coming out, and especially for helping run this big crowd through all six stages within a reasonable amount of time.
Now, if only that cranky old timer on Stage Five had been...
It so happens that Yours Truly was the range officer (called a "safety officer" in IDPA) in these vids.
Juan actually did an excellent job. We have first-timers go without the required concealment garment to reduce the brainpower load a little and we coach as needed just to get them going at...
One of my regular cohorts went after spending a couple of years of intensive and focused practice and exclusively single stack shooting.
I got an (excited) text that she was in a squad with winner Rob Leatham and fourth-place Todd Jarrett, two of the five grand masters in the event.
That must...
The first Saturday morning of every month May through November, the North Porter County Conservation Club in Chesterton hosts a low-key rimfire match at 9am Central Daylight Time.
Each month match director Jeff Loewe runs a different type of match. This particular month it's straight .22LR...
I have an incredibly long and boring blog post on exactly this topic, but I'll give you the (slightly) shorter version.
I run USPSA, IDPA, ICORE, steel, and outlaw multigun matches. I'm an NROI range officer and have run hundreds and hundreds of shooters though hundreds and hundreds of stages...
A mention that North Porter County Conservation Club in Chesterton (Valparaiso) is getting our USPSA season off with a six-classifier match at 9am Central Time, Sunday, March 28th, 2010.
$20 for this match, $15 for regular ones.
After that we go on the first Sunday of every month at 9am Central...
This just came up- Coal Car Kid Rick is staging a tactical shotgun match this Sunday, March 14th, 2010, at 9am CENTRAL time at the North Porter County Conservation Club in Chesterton/Valpo.
Match fee ten bucks. Specs and directions (and weather cancellations if needed) are at the link down the...
As someone who puts on IDPA matches, and who SOs at many, many others, I'll say I see Glock 17s most of all.
The above poster is right about Smiths: M&P 9s.
Sig 9s and Kimber .45s would follow those.
We'd like to let interested multi-gunners kjnow that we're closing out our 2009 USPSA season with our usual multi-gun match at 9am CST, Sunday, November 1st.
We'll have four solid field courses. As of this writing, two are planned to be all-3-guns, and two pistol and long gun. No slugs...
Forgive me for being too lazy to dig up the cite of the statute, but the FOID Act does not apply to citizens of states other than Illinois.
Therefore, transportation by non-Illinoisians is legal, subject to the conditions mentioned above.
The critical item, though, is unloaded. Buried deep in a...
Stuck!?
Not really. Actually, a stage like that pretty much demands having only one SO for everyone, since the other variables are so great.
That way, everyone had exactly the same instructions, calls, and scoring assessments.
The tough part was that I missed much of the rest of the match and...
I can't believe I missed this thread. NPCCC is my club, and I was the match director today for the IDPA match.
Too bad all you characters didn't identify yourselves so I could say hello.
However, I admit to being kind of busy with setting up and all, and then SOing everybody through the "Secret...
