bigbrowndog Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) The 2009 High Plains Shotgun Challenge is again being sponsored by Nordic Components and will be held at the Oklahoma City gun club range this year. This new venue will allow us to accommodate shooters a bit easier with hotels and eating establishments, plus it gives us access to a beautiful range with very nice facilities and props. Just like last year it will be an IPSC style practical shotgun match, utilizing stages and target presentations that are normal for international competition. With the U.S. hosting the PanAm shotgun championships in 2010, this will be a great way for shooters to see what to expect. The match will consist of 12 stages, using 105 shot rounds, 22 buckshot rounds, and 30 slugs, these are minimum round amounts. Scoring will be Comstock and Virgina count, equipment rules will be IPSC and new for this year we will have a Cowboy division, which will use SASS shotgun equipment rules. (we will need 5 entries to recognize the division) IPSC shotgun divisions will be Open, Standard, and Standard Manual. Entries and more info can be found on the HPSC website, http://highplainsshotgunchallenge.com/ more info to follow..........................

No.343 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Trapr this is great news. I'm putting this on the top of my list for shooting goals for '09. Holler if there is anything I can do. I'm 45 minutes from OKCGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmccrock Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 30 slugs !!! THAT'S another order from Ammo To Go (my purveyor of slugs). The website says 40 slugs; either way, that's another order. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) Lee, my stage round counts come out to 30 slugs, (as I recall I had fudged a bit on the calculator) but personally I'll have 75 just for myself. A match I shot in Germany earlier this year had 60 required as minimum, hitting stuff with slugs is part of shotgunning, just like hitting flying clays. Which BTW, I have something really fun set for the 2010 match. Trapr Edited October 15, 2008 by bigbrowndog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbrowndog Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 It shouldn't i called the LaMarca's to get the dates so I could schedule it. unless they've changed the dates of SMM3G that they told me, mine will be the weekend before. I would also liketo take a second to thank, R&R Racing for their generous offer to supply plates for the match, so now we have a large quantity of 4" plates to take the place of most of the clays, and they are the same size. Thank you R & R!!!!!!!!!! trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Will this conflict with superstition mt. 3 gun? Not by the Rio website. http://www.riopractical.com/ Trapr, I'd love to shoot your match, it's just too darn far. Not enough cash or vacation time.

Thank you R & R!!!!!!!!!! trapr Hi Trapr You might know anyway, and you might not care, but just in case ....... 4" plates aren't legal as targets in either IPSC or USPSA. Minimum for square or oblong plates is 6". Minimum for round plates is 6" IPSC and 8" USPSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Dan I moved it 200 miles closer this year, just for you!!!!! and you still can't make it????? BTW, if anyone would like to add the website address to your local clubs website links to help generate interest please do so. Trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Neil, I did not know that!! however the match will not be an IPSC or USPSA sanctioned match so I guess I'm OK on the one. Although that may be an item that could be discussed at the next GA, considering that clays are 4", why not plates the same size? thanks Trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Gentry Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Oklahoma City? Now I can't make it if I get up at 2:00 in the morning and drive like a bat out of hell the same day. I guess I'll just have to find a house to crash in up there. Trap, I would love to make your match. Only one thing, Who is going to be the first to have flying slug targets???? See you soon Ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I am going to try and get a Hotel to give us a good rate for the match. I will post it as soon as I can. There are pleanty of hotels and eateries within 15 miles of the range, LOTS of parking, range is 45 minutes from the airport. and we are going to arrange food at the range.

mike.45 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) I won standard auto but I didnt do that well in the last match .... Thats what happens when you are at a crime scene all night and works gets in the way of your real purpose in life ! I have permission for Benning just need the dates and the flights are booked Edited October 18, 2008 by mike.45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Something that is not on the current info page is the start time for shooting,.............. We will try to start at 9:00am on saturday, and 10:00am on Sunday. (Times subject to change) You will shoot the majority of your stages Saturday and just a couple on Sunday followed by awards, and (hopefully) an early wrap up so folks can get on their way home. trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 a variation to the IPSC shotgun equipment rules, will be that, MAGAZINE FED SHOTGUNS WILL BE ALLOWED IN STANDARD AND STANDARD MANUAL DIVISIONS, PROVIDED THEY MEET ALL THE OTHER REQUIREMENTS. trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Gentry Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Mike, I can't believe you didn't ask me to share a room. I have the best way to remove ticks if you run in to any more. That blue shite is only for looks. I want to look as good as you shoot. We all can't be heros. See you in Benning. Ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 My god mike, you were at a crime scene. I thought in england with their NO gun rules that there was no crime. Could I be wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudden Death Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Trapr and Kurt This sounds very interesting to me, I half to wait and see as it gets closer to the match, and maybe I can get some Ky. boys to go too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 MGM Targets has agreed to help us put the match on,..................so we have a myriad of targets available to us for the match, I may have to adjust stages so I can take advantage of the opportunity, Applications are being accepted from now until match day or until we max out. I am getting very good responses from past match sponsors and new ones. Things are shaping up nicely, and it looks like we will have something promising to look forward to in the first quarter of 2009. Trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
