The Official Redbrush/WSSC IDPA Thread

As a bonus though I scored a brand new SIG 1911 to use for competition but I'll probably end up carrying it once I shoot it and see how it does lol.

I know... If I hadn't already taken a few Fridays off I could have made it. For some reason I was thinking it was Saturday until I looked at the dates again last week or I would have put in for some PTO. I didn't think they used to be on Sunday

I think this is a one time thing. Range is closed on Saturday I'm guessing for work or police??

But, it's a better excuse for missing than Mrs. Frost'. (What the heck is Mom Prom anyway)

Any word on WSSC this weekend? Has the range dried out enough for IDPA?

Local TV weather dude said the coming storm front is going to get here slow and then hang around for quite a while tonight and Friday. Hopefully he is wrong.

Good to hear!

I missed this match because I didn't hang around the computer long enough to know what was going on. I asked about a sidematch and had no response so I just figured the WSSC were scrapbooking. The family and I packed up and did some camping and fishing. Plus I shot Owensboro on Friday so I had already wasted plenty of ammo this weekend

Hope everyone had a great match!

It was a good time! I showed up about an hour late but due to the size of the squads I hardly missed a thing! I will say this, you don't realize how much you use your support hand until it hurts like hell when you use it! And I got to debut my new IDPA gear and I expect to see a dozen or more just like it over the next few matches!!!

Our squad probably hadn't finished pasting for the 1st shooter.

When you have to ***** at 15 guys to paste 3 targets you really miss TJ being there.

Can spectators attend matches etc? Im not a member but have considered becoming one/shooting competitively. I wasnt sure if I could attend a match/the cost etc.. Red Brush isnt too far from me and ive also considered becoming a member. 18 miles according to google maps. Also the owensboro range thats out almost in hancock county is on my way to and from work.

No doubt!

How did BITB go for you? Haven't checked the scores but remember you said you planned to make it.

Spectators are welcome without being range or IDPA members (free to watch), but I frankly discourage it. Better to grab your gun, mags and ammo and just come shoot! Seriously, you'll wish you had if you left gear at home and just came to watch. No need for range membership to shoot the match although some places (Owensboro) will discount the match fee if you are a member.

Owensboro is a lot cheaper and easier to join than RB. RB has a longer rifle range, pistol bays are equal in my opinion, Owensboro has a shotgun range. I'm a member of neither but will probably join Owensboro soon.

I see you live in Rockport. I'm close to you in Grandview. I'd be glad to help you get started in comp shooting if you ever have questions or want to check out some gear. Hope to see you on the range!

You did well at channeling your inner TJ several times. Once almost at a deserved drill Sargent level.
