More range improvements at Silver Creek Conservation Club

[Dog1]

The range looks great. Does anyone know if SCCC will be accepting applications for new members soon? I would love to get involved and get into IDPA, but I have nowhere to practice. Every time I have looked at the website it has stated that new member applications are not being accepted.

With all the work being done this year, we have not had the time to get our new member orientation sorted out.

We also have a new membership app that is just about ready.

We will be doing a better job of vetting members this time. Not everyone that applies will make the final cut. New members will have to bring something to the table that is beneficial to the club.

The days of letting in anyone that is warm and can sign a check is over.

Keep looking on the site. Once we start, it will be posted there.

Get in touch with Dog1 and join. Shoot USPSA instead of IDPA.

Why do you prefer USPSA over IDPA? I ask because I am truly interested in some sort of dynamic competition shooting, but I don't have strong feelings about which at this point.

Thanks for the information. What sort of things are you looking for in members?

Members that are willing to work. No more, maybes, I might be there. There is a good chance that there will be mandatory work requirements.

Does this a member shoot competitively? Is he or she a ICORE, IDPA, USPSA, etc member? Is he or she a Range Officer or Safety Officer? Are they former LE, Fire EMS or Military?

Our problem at Silver Creek is we have too many members that will not work to help the club. We call out to the membership for help, only to have the same people come out every time. It's time for new and old members alike to put some "sweat equity" back into the club.

USPSA-High round count stages, shoot the stage your way, with-in the rules and reason.

IDPA-Low round counts, more linear in the stages and dictates more how you shoot it.

Both are a game, one is just has more fun to it than the other.

but there is not any rule that somebody won't be really really anal about (should have added a third really and some capitol letters there but I am too kind of spirit and really just a go along and get along person)

-Low round counts, more linear in the stages and dictates more how you shoot it.

Less money in ammo & equipment, typically more relaxed and more casual shooters than hard core shooters, rules do make you insane if you think about them

Not sure which one you in particular will choose though. I like USPSA, but there is a lot to be said for shooting whichever one is closest, and then there is steels .

I have not seen that many relaxed shooters at our idpa matchs...in fact quite the opposite.

They tend to be high strung.

USPSA has fewer rules and is therefore more fun. High round count, and realizes it is a game. IDPA is a game but does not admit it.

IDPA is on Saturday. USPSA is on Sunday. Pick your poison

Both will get you killed in streets.

Come to think of it you made me nervous yesterday!

 

[RevoWood123]

Hence the reason everybody should shoot ICORE, smallest rule book out there. And revolvers are cool...

I'd say, shoot both and see what you like.

YES! Range was phenomenal. Those bays are big and deep and the berms huge. They'll be even better next yr when they get vegetation on them. Good work Silver Creek! Very obvious you put a ton of work in since last year, and I was impressed with the facilities last year...

If you were looking for more projects, a gravel road from the chrono to stage 13 making a complete "loop" around the bays would be a nice addition! haha

The range was awesome. That was my first time shooting at Silver Creek. I'll have to start coming down for matches.
