Hi All, Update: Appreciate all the replies which were helpful. I finally settled on the Trinity Armory Range, as they were the only range whom replied back to me and showed genuine interest. The program they put forward is great, covers alot of activities, including full video / photography for the days events. Cheers ....

Hi All, Does anyone know of some good Ranges around Houston, where a group of 6 to 10 guys can go and have some fun, shoot a variety of firearms for a Team Building Afternoon, this is a request from my CEO. This would be around April 29th 2017. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers ..... Kevin

I have friends whom goto to IPSC / USPSA matches in the USA on a regular basis, and have always had to follow the procedure GM IProd has posted. Its nothing new. I know of some friends whom had the generic ones rejected before in early 2002. So some MD, simple put up a generic invitation, with a blank space for your name and you just filled it in. Which you could easily do in PDF since 2002. Especially in Asia here, you cant even get an export permit for your firearms from the Police unless you can show the invitation with your name on it. Cheers ....

What grade of steel are you using for your plates, unless you are using some form of impact resistant plate such as Hardox 500, you will always get splatter. Even lead bullets can create small indentations on lesser grade plate, which then causes the projectile to hit an uneven surface and splatter more. Suggest you look at the surface of your plates to see if its deformed, if so, look at replacing the plates. Cheers ....

Well to be honest the Australian Version as you put it, is the International Version, as its ALL the same Rule Book. Australia has some very competent IROA Officials. Why dont you ask this on the Australia IPSC Forum. GV is Global Village - do a google search and you will find it. Cheers ....

Very interesting ... what about inexperienced/incompetent competitors how are the officials protected from them ? .... You never stated the where the match was, was it a Level III. Why dont you post this question on the GV and then give more details .... Cheers .....

And also cost just as much if not more than an open gun to build. Plus the load development, at most all you have is 3.5" of barrel to work with and trying to make Major and be reliable is a time consuming effort, but not insurmountable. JoJo and Johnny Lim made good Modified guns. Cheers ....

You also need to take into account Point 15, as many overlook this requirement, and have to do some metal removal from base pads. It would be best to find a box and check. Before I bought my own box, I made a one from 1/2" perspex. I had a friend build me a wooden plug to the dimensions, then glued the sides together, was cheap and easy and saved a lot of headache and we were able check quickly. Cheers ....

World Shoot will be 30 Stages. 5 days x 6 stages x 1/2 day format, 72 squads x 16 competitors, Pre-Match will be larger than normal for a WS upto 600 from the usual 100. Cheers ....

This particular firearm is not approved for IPSC use. Cheers ....

Cha-Lee, Try installing Palemoon, its another browser based on FF, in which they have stripped out all unnecessary rubbish which FF is trying to involve too and causing problems with websites and forums since FF12. www.palemoon.org. I have been using this for 3 years with no problems, actually uses less memory, runs faster and more responsive than FF. Cheers ....

I suggest you contact this person. Speaks very good english and is very involved with organising matches in IPSC Thailand. Contact Name: Jetsada Phae-Araya (Tony) Contact E-mail: tonyman@ipsc.org Cheers ....

Sam, Great news and Congratulations to you and Elizabeth. Cheers ....

Would be interesting to see if you vendor redrew your drawings into their software to allow for width of the cut, and how much wastage is generated. Last time I had steel cut from a 5' x 20' x 3/8" AR500 there as about 20% wastage. Cheers ....

Based on what you describe No DQ in IPSC. Cheers ....
