[Directing my first two gun match. Pistol and rifle. Need ideas.]

I have been a USPSA match director with pistol now for several seasons and would like to try running a two gun match. I would prefer to start with two gun before getting into three gun at this point...baby steps. I have never shot in a two gun match before or have any experience with multi-gun so I am looking for some pointers on getting started in this.

What I am planning on doing in the future is setting up a four stage match that would consist of three stages of pistol only and a fourth stage with rifle (AR type) only.

In regards to a two gun match like this, is it as simple as just having the competitors use a rifle (duh :-)) on that specific stage and score it as you would the pistol stages ??

Any basic input that would get me started from other match directors that have run multi-gun matches would be appreciated. I bet somebody will say to dig into the multi-gun rules.

Thanks,

Jeff

Looks great Martin, thanks for sharing.

[Shooting requirements before shooting a match?]

I welcome new shooters to shoot at the USPSA matches I direct. I put them through a safety briefing before the match that includes range commands.

The new shooter shoots even though it may take a little extra time. I stress to the new shooter to go at their own pace and just make the shots happen.

Stages look great and we pulled in a bunch of great sponsors !

[2013 Ohio State Match]

Tonight I picked up 50 seperate donated shooting supplies from Kames Sports located in my home town of North Canton, OH totaling $621.04. Included in that is a large banner for stage level sponsorship. The donated items will be sorted out at the prize table at the Ohio Championship.

www.kamessports.com

And as Kevin said, they were generous to donate Pmags as well for the prize table

I just realized I left Steve Anderson off the sponsor list! Holy Crap the guy is sponsoring a stage. He will have a booth set up and the whole nine yards.

Thanks Steve!!!

He may have something shooting and VanHalen related.

[Businesses that use customer service as a point of sale]

I'm happy to give them a phone number. I give them Jenny's, 867-5309.

LMAO. Anybody ever get it?

Not the young cashiers, but the older ones catch it once in a while. Try it, you'll like it.

[When the match is done what do you talk about?]

Like you, afterwards my friends and I stop for something to eat, have couple beers and discuss the match.

One friend and I have daughters that are in gymnastics. Discussions about gymnastics is something that the general public would not expect to hear from us.

Ohio Sate 2013 State Match Self Squadding was just opened.

If there are questions please PM me first before bugging our very busy Match Director (Kevin Sanders). If you are registered, you received an email about squadding.

There may be a few hiccups as this is my first major match as the stats man. Again, PM me first regarding squadding.

Thanks

Thanks Larry for the news. I got my self squadding info.

[1st stage nervousness ...how to shrug it off?]

I shoot the day before the match so I am not absolutely cold on match day.

My 1st stage I try to hit all As and then I carry that confidence on to the next stages. Simple.

Hi Kevin- How are the stages coming together? Did anybody else from around the state submit any stages to you?

Thanks,

Jeff

Strange. It's working now.

[View new content not working for me]

Under View New Content I get a "Sorry, no new content found" and nothing with the selections to the left of the screen works.

Pretty disappointing. Any tricks out there on how to fix this ???

We need the Hooters girls to use rickshaws to get up and down the hill.

[Weird day at the range as an RO]

Nice post. Sounds like the new shooters had fun.

We need all the people we can get to help support our sport.

[How to disconect the magazine disconnect?]

Ken,

I've been there and done that and it's not too hard. You need to remove the sear block from the frame to remove the mag disconnect feature of your pistol. Here is a link to Dan Burwell's step by step instructions to do this and this will solve your problem:

Hope this helped.

Kevin,

My registration form going out by mail. I also emailed you two stage diagram ideas from my club here in NE Ohio. This will be another great Ohio match!
