CCI Area 4 SCSA Championship - Texas July 23 thru 25

[Hoops]

I am curious about attendance.  Are any of you Enos SCSA shooters planning to shoot the match?  It just opened yesterday on Practiscore and so far no one has signed up.

 

It is 165 miles from me.  I have never shot a Level III match.  Turn 70 at this time so I am considering going.  I have never been to this range NE of Bryan/A&M.  They have 2 SCSA matches each month.  I may go there in April to check it out.

A friend mentioned this match just a few days ago.  It was the first I had heard of it.  Nice to see Area 4 getting their own match.  Not sure if I will make it or not.  Texas in July is usually toasty and not sure how much ammo I will have left by July.    Don't worry about it being a Level III match, just think of it as more folks at your local club match.

July in Texas can be toasty for sure (but I love it).  That's the way I think about it.....meet some new shooters.....enjoy the experience.  I'm an 86% Master class RFRO so no expectations at age 70.  Just to have fun and my gun runs.

I have signed up for Saturday and Sunday match.  Should be a fun couple of days.  Glad I looked closer at location.....the range being used for this match is not their usual Brazosland range and just South of Bryan in Navasota TX.  CCC Shooting is supposed to be a nice facility.  It is still about the same driving distance for me.....2.5 hours.  The match is starting to fill in.  I hope it gets fully squadded.  It will be fun to watch some of the youngsters shoot.

We have shot @CCC for years. It is a great facility. We have shot their USPSA, night matches, & Steel Challenge matches. The team at Brazosland Pistoleros put on quality & professional matches. You will have a blast. Their usual range for SC is way too small. It will be hot, but most of the bays have shade & if not they will provide cover.

Great.  Good to know.  I am looking forward to shooting there.  I turn 70 a few days before the match so my BD present 

 

You shooting the match?  We have 7 folks from our area that have signed up.

Thinking about it, probably.

I am making an assumption that Squads 1-8 will also match the classifier stage order of SC-101 thru SC-108?  Is this typical set up for full 8 stage matches?

 

Plenty of time left but I am seeing squads slowly get filled in.  

 

Thanks.  

[mreed911]

Just signed up for two guns in this match.  Will see which squads are available.  This may be the competition debut for my Glock 37.

I don't think that you can count on that. For instance at my range the size of the bays determine what stage will fit in it, and we have numbered bays and that numbering does not change. The MD can and usually does change the order to the ones that are actually in the bays. I would say that squad 1 will start in stage 1/bay 1 but I couldn't tell you what SC number it will be unless you are at my range.

Hey guys! I'll try to get the Mods (Help @shred, you're my only hope) to merge this topic under the thread with all the official details. Until then I'll answer questions as best I can. 

 @Hoops we are setting up stages in an order that will allow good match flow and give people something to do if Smoke and Hope cycle times are shorter than Outer Limits. We have 2 demo bays and some very, very exciting vendor things planned. All the bays are quite sizable, 50 yards long and between 30 and 50 yards wide. Squad 1 will start on stage 1 though. Typically as a shooter I don't like doing mental math to start my matches either 

@mreed911 you're approved buddy. Looking forward to seeing you at the match. 

ALL of the bays will have shade, coolers with ice water and PediaLite Popsicles. I'm contemplating those pickle juice pops but they taste awful in comparison and I doubt the kids will like them as much. 

[mreed911]

I see the info about two flights, but not start times for AM and PM flights.

 

I squadded into a PM slot - what's the start time for those?

 

I might actually have time to shoot my local Steel Challenge match that morning before the Area 4 match in the afternoon.

Thanks.  Good idea to make posts under your Official post.

Right now I think we are targeting 8 am and 1 pm for start times. We need to get a few lunch details settled out as well as side events but remember, it's July. While we will have ice water and refreshments you might pace yourself

At least an hour and a half of AC and hydration between the local match and this one.

Threads merged, maybe some continuity problems.

 

Steel is way nicer to shoot in the heat.

 

FWIW, there was an Area 4 Steel Challenge in 2004 at the Clark's range, which may have been the only other.  Got the plaque on my wall

Thanks

[Xanatos903]

USPSA membership gets you a SCSA membership though 

[Texaspaul]

So the rules do not even show U for a classification - think I will not take a chance to loose $75 if I register and can not shoot - will sit this out till I get a classification.
