midget Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Hello all! I am a new member from the Fort Wayne IN area. Last night was my first practice at the Fort Wayne chapter of the USPSA and it was a blast! Someone there mentioned I should come and check out this site for some tips on improving technique. From the looks of it, I have a long way to go -Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvb Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 If you are free next Sunday morning (yea, the 4th of July), come on up to Angola. It's a great club for new shooters because of the "shotgun start" vs squadding, so we usually have time for some advice and chatting. Introduce yourself, always good to meet new shooters and BE'ers. -rvb info: ANGOLA CONSERVATION CLUB - IN17 Angola, In Matches are conducted the first Sunday of each month from April through October. Matches are held at the Angola Conservation Club, which is located on Hwy 20 about 3/4 of a mile east of exit 148 on Interstate Hwy 69. Matches consist of 5 stages, including a classifier stage. Shooters can enjoy a random start at any time between 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM. note: it's behind the American Legion, and they've added a bay, so depending on staff availability, it may be 6 stages now, incl classifier.

rvb Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Matt, if you'll be at the FWAPS Thursday again this week, say Hi to the looser shooting the beretta. I think I'll be there [the boss lady didn't exactly say "yes" when I asked for permission, but she didn't exatly say "no," either. but she did say I'm on my own for food. ]. I've never actually made one of the weekly practices before... -rvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the practice, but I'm not sure if I talked to you or not... I'm really bad with names lol... Provided the weather holds out for tomorrow, I should be there again Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvb Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 won't make it this Thurs, but I did get a hall pass for the Warsaw match on Sunday... -rvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midget Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 That's cool. I won't be going to any matches until I feel like I am certain that I won't DQ myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herky Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 If you have a couple of practice matches under your belt, you are ready for local matches. Not much difference, but you only get to shoot each COF once . Northern Ind and Southern Mi (no disrespect intended to any other area of either state) have some great matches, clubs, and people, even if sometimes the Ohio bunch say bad things about us. Have fun, go slow at first, and don't worry about the DQ's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvb Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 That's cool. I won't be going to any matches until I feel like I am certain that I won't DQ myself... Frankly, a match setting would be safer in that regard than all of us standing on a common firing line at the practice... if you can keep it down range and your finger off the trigger, you're ready to shoot a match. -rvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
