Jim Norman Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 With the match moved to June, it may be hot, it may be wet, it may be windy, it most likely won't snow this year! I am looking forward to shooting this match again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sperman Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) Do most people fly into DFW or OK CIty? Nevermind. USAir doesn't fly directly to OKC. Edited May 1, 2011 by sperman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorch Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) only 14 slots left on the Sat / Sun Schedule If you are listed o the self squadding Page and are not sqauadded and want to shoot the SAt / Sun Schedule BETTER SQUAD TODAY! Cause when they are gone they are gone. I would fly into OK City Smaller airport Easier to get out of on to the highway about a 2 hour drive either way.

DFinan Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hi I am new to these forums and USPSA in general, I have a couple of questions about the match in June. First is there still room on Saturday/ Sunday to shoot? Second, I havent gotten my USPSA membership info yet (signed up but waiting for the info to arrive), how would I get put into a squad to shoot? Is this match open to people who arent members of USPSA? Last but not least, I havent shot any matches before, is this a good one to show up for or should I pick a smaller one to start with? Thanks for the info and any additional information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avezorak Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Yea I sure wouldnt pick a large major match to start with. Shoot at least a few local matches to get your feet wet and become familiar with the rules and just the overall way things are done. I believe you will enjoy yourself a lot more if you go to your first major and are able to concentrate on shooting instead of figuring out what you should be doing...Just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign up for USPSA, sign up for the match, then get out and shoot as many local matches as you can before this match. Where do you live? We can find you some practice matches.

Zerwas Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Going to this particular match as your first match is kind of like getting your first motorcycle and making a trip thru Colorado be your first ride. Everything else will pale in comparison... I would say you should also take in a couple of local matches and then hit is hard at this match come June.

scorch Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 WOW! i would Get some Local Matches under my belt first. There is no Slots Left on Sat/Sun. A Major has a Different Feel then Club Matches.

Jesse Tischauser Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Look at it this way. Shooting this match A's your first match is like sleeping with Heather Locklear your first time. You can't turn that down because your not ready and might have an AD. You gotta do it! Watch some videos, read the USPSA rules, ask all the questions you can on this forum and get ready for Heather, I mean your first match! You never forget your first time:) Edited May 3, 2011 by jtischauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFinan Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the encouragment, I am planning on trying to hit some local matches this month, I am shooting in a IDPA match this Sunday, and signed up for another one on the 18th that is USPSA. I live in the Fort Worth, Tx area so any places you can recomend to practice or matches to go to feel free to throw my way and I will try to hit them. Gear wise, I have 5 mags for my HK45, should I get more for this match? That said I think I am going to go ahead and sign up for the Friday shoot (once I get my USPSA number) and assuming there is still room to shoot on Friday. Worst that would happen is I finish last, and until I get more practice thats probbaly going to happen anyway.

Just read up on rules about placement of mags and holster. Relax and have a good time. Edited May 3, 2011 by ValleySig229 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst that would happen is I finish last, and until I get more practice thats probbaly going to happen anyway. My first ever USPSA Match was the Indiana Section Match in 2004, so I see nothing wrong with it. I had been shooting IDPA matches for a couple years before that so moving shooting, reloading I had no problem with. The degree of stage difficulty was completely different. Coming from shoot these targets in this order and reload here compared to here is the problem now go figure it out didn't take too long to sort out. I just put myself down in the order and paid attention to how others were doing it. I will tell that I only shot a few more IDPA matches after that and since 2005 have only been shooting USPSA matches. HK45, what division are your planning on shooting in, Limited 10?

DFinan Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Yes currently planning on limited 10, I think that fits the gun I have best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind a short 3 hour drive OKC gun club is having it's monthly club match this Saturday and the first Saturday in June A's well. We had 8 stages and 106 shooters last month. So it's very similar to a major match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4045 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Yes currently planning on limited 10, I think that fits the gun I have best. I would get more mags for Lim 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SethML3602 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I have a total of 5 mags for my limited 10 Setup. Stages can't have more than 32 Rounds. That gives you 18 Extra rounds. and even if the stage is only 24 rounds i take all 5 because of murphy's law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many mags should I be looking at for limited 10? 5 is good, you load 11 in your start mag and have another 40 on your waist, 51 rounds for a 32 round stage is plenty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only use 4 mags in a match for limited, but I have at least 4 more in the bag. 5 will work, but 5 can become less very quickly. In a big match gear goes down.
