aaronjbush12 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Anyone know what time they are starting and how long to get through? Gota be at work in the afternoon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 Anyone know what time they are starting and how long to get through? Gota be at work in the afternoon... Your best bet is to call JoJo and ask. It says above that shooting starts at 10:00. Since there should be some novice shooters and families and such, I don't think it will run all that quickly. A bit more relaxed than the usual Norco match... Later, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZip Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Is this a USPSA match? Is there a limit to the number of shooters or can I just show up? Thanks JZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyZip Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Guess what I'm really after is if there will be a qualifier. Sounds great anyway, but just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterbenedetto Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 No qualifier but would have nice challenging stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZip Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Thanks, Talked to the wife and if I can get a sitter I will be there. And I will hit Portillos in Moreno Valley on the way home. What I call a win-win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hostetter Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Is this going to be a IPSC match or a USPSA match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 Is this going to be a IPSC match or a USPSA match? Bob, You know it is sometimes not easy to get a straight answer but the app shows a SS division and no Modified or Standard so I would have to guess it is USPSA. A call to JoJo or Jimmy should clear it up. Later, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyZip Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 ChuckS WHERE WERE YOU? Well I went and had a great time. I didn't shoot well but I had a great time. I just wanted to say thanks to all who made my Friday fun and fed me very well in the process. Jojo V and Dennis Cruz, Ed Benedetto, Eva Subido, Jaime Almazan, Henry Toribio, and Steve from Fullerton. ( I'm sorry I don't know your last name yet.) That was a blast. I hope to see you all at another shoot and wish you the best until then. Nice to meet youEd. You are a class act. It was sure fun to see you all having as much fun as I was and the ribbing going on at that match was hilarious! I got laughed at for my procedural and even I laughed Met people, got good tips, found a new place to shoot, and did it all on a Friday.(Meaning while many were working, we were shooting!) And if any of you go out to Norco to shoot, get the pig on a stick early, cause that guy runs out early.( Grilled meat and shooting, was I in heaven?) Thanks, JZ P.S. I will be there next year!

JimmyZip Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 LittleE, Thanks and I can sincerely say the same to you. I hope to come out to Yuma when I get a chance. ( Hopefully before the years end.) You are right, that squad was good. But I learned some good things about managing your match. You need to bring a chair and your own drinks. Also, don't wear your floppy hat during a stage when the wind is blowing! (Might cover your eyes when you least expect it! ) I just got home from riding and need to get some sleep. Oncew again nice to meet and shoot with you, tell Jaime I said the same. JZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
