MadMadWorld Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I am pleased to announce that our first match f the year will be run tomorrow, February 16.

Match dates: February 16 March 16 April 20 May 18 June 15 July 20 August 16-18 (large match) September 21 October 19 Set up starts at 8:00, registration starts about 9 and first shots as close to 9:30 as possible. Public is welcome to all matches. New shooters need to arrive by 9am for the new shooter orientation. Match fee is $10. We generally have a reshoot of the stages, $5 for the reshoot, rimfire is free on reshoots. Starting with the march match, PCSI will be running matches in affiliation with the Steel Challenge organization, including scoring and classification if you are a member of SCSA. Please let me know if you have any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSeevers Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 In the cold won't the steel be too brittle and crack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMadWorld Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hopefully not! But, that is why we have the Barbarian welder on retainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMadWorld Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 We are planning on having our regular match on March 16 this month. Four stages, potential for a reshoot depending on the weather and time. I will not be there this month but will have a couple people running the match for me. This will be a good tune up for anyone planning on shooting the US Steel Shoot in Titusville the following weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jacket Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Might try to make the match. What do I need pistol wise or what are the divisions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conrad Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 What's the deal with the august match? You say large??? Looks like a 3 day match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conrad Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Are you going to need help with the "large" match? Edited March 1, 2013 by conrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conrad Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Might try to make the match. What do I need pistol wise or what are the divisions? You definitely want to make it to the match. It's a great place to shoot and Madison is pretty cool too. As far as what gun and division. That depends. There is open, limited, and revolver. And all 3 of those in rimfire. I'd say pick the one you are most comfortable with. You will need at least 2 mags but best if you have a couple more. Each stage requires 25 rounds but they are in 5 round strings...... if you don't miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMadWorld Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Are you going to need help with the "large" match? I will need help, I already have you committed as the actual match director! There is a thread on here for the match and I will be spending a fair amount of time over the next two weeks getting stuff together and sending out staff requests.

Each stage requires 25 rounds but they are in 5 round strings...... if you don't miss. To echo what Conrad said, I do not break up the divisions as much as USPSA does. I roll limited, production and single stack into my "limited" division for the monthly matches. This is less confusing to the newer shooters to explain. And, for the those of us who may be a little competitive with each other, it allows us to run heads up with our preferred rig/division. In addition to pistols, pistol-caliber carbines are welcome at the monthly matches. We have had quite a few folks being out their 22LR carbines and a few bring out the 9mm AR-style guns. There are some basic safety guidelines that must be followed with the rifles and carbines which will be covered at the new shooter orientation and/or the shooters meeting. Namely, they need to stay cased or have a chamber flag and be carried stage to stage muzzle up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jacket Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks single stack 45 it is then. I don't get to shoot it to often. Been shooting my Glock 35 in limited the past year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Jacket Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 What time do these generally end. I have something I have to do early afternoon but want to come down. Or I assume I could just shoot s few rounds if necessary. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMadWorld Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 If all goes as planned and everyone helps out, the main match is done about 1:30 or 2:00. If you reshoot, generally about 4:00. These are general, if there are fewer people, we have been done as early as noon. However, we had a match last year with 70 or so and it took quite a while, people started finishing up about 2:30/3:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMadWorld Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) For the April match, I am going to have a special division for J-Frame/CCW pocket guns. Everyone seems to enjoy this and it allows for some practice with guns we do not generally shoot a whole lot. For this division, the intent is for folks to shoot their pocket guns, generally 5 shots for the revolver and 6-7 for the autos. We will all start at the low ready position, no drawing from a concealment holster. For this match and division only, I will allow .380s to be shot. If you intend on shooting this division, please have a buddy system set up to help keep mags/speed loaders full. This will help the process go more smoothly for all of us. ALSO, if you are shooting 380 or any other surplus ammo, please check to make sure there is no steel in the bullets themselves. This will destroy our plates and I will be most unhappy. I will not have any targets beyond 20 yards for this, but there may be a 10" plate or two for the day!

MadMadWorld Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Don't forget about the PCSI steel match tomorrow. Stages are set, shooting three new stages that have not been shot since I have been running the matches. Hopefully the rain holds off for the match.

conrad Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'd like to say " Wow that was a long winter!" I really should have been practicing and dry firing over the winter. It took me till the last stage of the reshoot match to finally find my front sight. Thanks Mr. Anderson for helping me find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giarc01 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I like the idea of running my carry piece for practice but I dont think I want to run my xd-s through an entire match with full power 45 acp rounds. I think I might bring it and run it in the reshoot for a few stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
