Fort Wayne USPSA, Sunday July 17

[rvb]

Fort Wayne's next USPSA match is this Sunday, July 17th.

Some notes on Pistol-Caliber Carbine:

• It has been made a provisional division, and we WILL be allowing it at the match.
• You may only shoot in one division, not a handgun division plus PCC
• Chamber Flags are REQUIRED. If you do not have a flag, there will be some available at registration for purchase for $2.00.
• We do not have long-gun racks, you will need a case or a cart.
• We will have "staging areas" in bays that do not have safe areas.
• Please be very conscious of your muzzle. A horizontal muzzle anywhere other than a safe area or staging area is a DQ.
• We don't intended to change the nature of our courses from what you have come to expect, So pistol shooters need not worry!
• Please take a moment to read the rules and equipment addendum at USPSA Rules - United States Practical Shooting Association

Have a family reunion on Sunday but I'm going to try to make it. Trying to decide whether to keep with production or try out PCC for the fun of it.

I'm not going to be able to shoot Sunday, but if I were, I'd be trying PCC. It was fun on our little mini stage at practice night last week!

4 of the stages are built. Going to be a fun match!

As a PCC trouble maker you should know the answer.

Well PCC was shot in a Indiana USPSA match and I think everyone survived. I didn't hear any complaints and a lot of people were curious how it went.

It was odd packing a range bag without pistols or a belt.
It was fun. I don't shoot rifle much so I was trying to learn what I could get away with and pushed a bit more each stage.
Transitions and steel were slow. A little practice would clean this up and you would really be able to rail on the stage. I just don't have a good index with a rifle.
Need to zero my rifle at a closer distance. Not used to shooting at such close ranges and had to change my aim point to the top perf on the A zone.
Reloaded twice the whole day. One mandatory, one because I had too many misses on steel.
Moving to the weak side was my biggest concern to avoid a 180 issue. As with a pistol, you just need to learn good muzzle awareness and have a plan to deal with it.
No issues with the side berm staging area and then walking the rifle to the line. It was a little awkward trying to walk the stage one last time with the rifle in hand (held vertically w/flag).
It was great to shoot a match without having to tuck in my shirt or wear belt with all the gear on it all day.
While it was a lot of fun, I don't think it was any more fun than shooting my production gun and several stages I would have rather had shot that. I'll probably shoot PCC a couple of times a year if it stays a division for something different/fun.
I predict more folks picking up PCCs to shoot based on the comments I heard today.

Thank you from Columbus, In. for a fun match. My son and I had a good time and thank you to our 5 man squad. Great crew to shoot with. I need to schedule more trips to the Area to shoot.

I wondered how the hold over would affect shooting

Scores are up on Practiscore as of yesterday afternoon. I will see what I can do about getting them on USPSA site as well, but its been awhile since I've done that part of it.
Thanks to everyone who came out and helped with setup and teardown

Cool!

Unless you use a very short barreled rifle, it's never going to be as fast on transitions as your pistol just because you have more mass and it's farther from you and the axis of rotation. On the other hand, for longer distances or small targets the ease of shooting a long will offset that disadvantage - like "Outer Limits" in Steel Challenge. Not much you can do for zeroing for close targets with an AR because of the physical offset of the sights/scope/dot and the boreline. If you use an EOTech, though, you can use the hash mark at 6 o'clock on the ring for aiming at close stuff. It works surprisingly well.
