I am a regular shooter at Rayner's Range (Blue Rock, Ohio). I would like to shoot at Circleville next Saturday. I just need to know what time to be there, the match fee and any other pertinent information.

Setup begins at 8:00am. Match starts between 10-10:30. Match fee is $15 I believe. Usually have between 5-8 stages, but the round count never exceeds 150 rds. Usually more like 120.

Hope to see you there.

Thanks for the response, Chris! I do plan to be there, and more than happy to help set up. Just a question of how early I can drag my butt out of bed, on a Saturday morning.

I'll try to keep up, on the stages. I am a little slow (physically)

If it's your first time at a match, please be sure to tell me that when you register (I usually run the registration table). Fee for a first-timer (your first time at the Circleville USPSA match) is $5.

Conrad usually posts the stages on the Forum a few days before the match. Of course, any details may be modified during set up (insert maniacal laugh). If you have a drill or screw gun, bring it. Conrad likes to use EVERY prop in the barn, every wall, etc. It's pretty similar in intensity to a Rayner's match ... though we thankfully do not have that #$%@ propeller!

I always liked his bridge

Five dollars?! Well, I choose to be a first time shooter every month.

Ah yes, the Rayner propeller. We have had the pleasure of shooting at that sucker for the past two months. The thing that I hate is the pivoiting chair. Thank gawd it has only been out of the barn once this summer.

Did I see a Texas Star in Chris Keen's utube video, at Circleville, last month? Never had the pleasure of shooting one of those.

I fogot the most important question of all! Food! Is there a food stand?

Texas star yes, food no. Bring your own food if you want something to eat.

As Chris said, "negative" on the on-site food ... NOT like Carolyn's crock pots and the fridge full of pop/Gatorade @ Rayner's.

Since you're likely coming south on Rte 23 from I-270, there is a McDonald's in South Bloomfield.

There is also a Kroeger grocery in Circleville, right where Rte 22 turns east off Rte 23. There's a family diner just east of that, across the road. They're open at o'dark-thirty, I think.

We have big coolers full of water at the bays during warmer weather.

Bring anything that you think you might need during the match. Set up usually runs 0800 to 10-10:30, depending upon complexity and the amount of help. We do not break for lunch. Shooting usually goes until ~2PM or a bit later. Some of the crew goes out to Rooster's in Circleville after the match.

Range "facilities" are like the one up on the hill @ Rayner's. No running water down on the range.

I had a blast (pun intended)! A big shout out the members of PCSI. I made some new friends, and enjoyed helping Frank set up his stage. You have a great facility too. The shelters and benches are awesome!.

A special thank you to Fran and Kyle, for the pointers on my draw. I'll be working on that between now and November 6th. Oh yeah, I'll be back!

Good shooting with you, Dave!
