2017 Indiana Section Championship

[BJones]

Have not shot one match all year! I may still go for it? Sounds fun as long as I keep my expectations in line!

Come on out, the only expectations you need are be safe, have fun, enjoy being with a bunch of good folks.

I stopped procrastinating and signed up. Looking forward to it.

 

[Coach]

Hoping to have the .40 single stack ready for the match. State match seems like the place to test it.

Let me know if you want me to load ammo for it.

 

[Coach]

Let me know if you want me to load ammo for it.

Let me think about it...... no thanks.

My ammo hates major matches

 

[parkerj112]

Anyone know who the GM already signed up in production is?

 

[riverman67]

Romack991 I would imagine

^ this

 

[rhino]

Yeah, I haven't registered yet, so it's not me.








Heh heh.

A true GM too, unlike some GM I saw that shoots like an A class.

 

[parkerj112]

I was hoping to sign up on the same squad as a production GM. Is his last name Romack?

Thanks,
Parker

 

[mattdennis3]

There's a good chance he'll be working the match so he'll be shooting with staff on Friday. But I'm sure he'll be by soon to clear it all up.

 

[parkerj112]

This will be my first non-level 1 match. Tips anybody, chrono, signin, time management?

There won't be chrono at this match. Just 10 stages of fun. There will be a signin so its a good idea to arrive earlier than you would for a club match. It also allows you time to check out the stages ahead of time. We'll be putting out a match booklet once the stages and other details have been finalized that will have a bit more info for you. Same things apply that would at a club match. Main thing is to be safe and have fun.

If you clean your gun before the match....run 50 rounds through it before showing up. Cleaning gremlins show up on the 1st stage at level 2 and higher

In addition to what the other guys said:

* Case gauge (or use your barrel's chamber -- disassembled from the gun) all of your ammo, even if it's factory.
* Take at least 50% more ammo than you think you'll need.
* Take a backup gun that's as close to identical to your match gun as possible in case something breaks.
* Don't forget your belt, holster, mag carriers, mags, and all of your other gear. I've seen a surprising number of shooters arrive at a big match without their belt/holster/mag pouches.

why purple?

 

[Tanfodude]

I recommend bringing 2x ammo for Major matches on whatever the match round count is.

As for back up gun, as long as it is legal in the division that you're shooting, it doesn't have to be exact same gun/model. Have it approved by the RM first.

cleaning guns and loading reliable ammo is for gamers. i personally enjoy the added challenge of having gun/ammo problems on every stage of a major match. i love it so much that I am going to petition HQ to add it to the rules. I'm also working on becoming the official ammo supplier for USPSA. You're all welcome.
