Wish I could have been there, Joe. Stage designs look good. I hope to attend a match soon. -DP

Yep, match is tomorrow night, the 14th.  New shooters, please be there at 6:15 to pay the match fee, collect your scoresheet and then attend the new shooter briefing at 6:30.   -oarsman

Thanks for the feedback, netmindr.  It was good to have you, and we look forward to seeing you next time.  There's another mover we use, and I think you might like that one.  It gets shot less.   ;)   Big K, that's true, dropped and offset holsters are not permitted.  We don't check guns in the IDPA box for size, but occasionally will use the box in a stage, so it must fit.  We don't chronograph ammo.  Hope to see you at an upcoming match.  My name is David and my co-match director is Mick.   Hognut, thanks for fielding the earlier questions.   -oarsman

Thanks for posting this, Jim. Haven't seen you in a while...hope you can come.

That was a very loud torch.

Could be!

Hey guys, I'm looking forward to seeing you all tonight. One change in tonight's stage lineup. We will not be doing the third stage in low light. I'm expecting a fair number of new shooters this evening, and after discussing it with range management, we've decided to leave the lights on. It will still be a challenging stage! David

Jim, sometimes match directors have to make their own stipulations about a stage to facilitate safety or fairness; these may not be explicitly covered in the rule book. The pasters thing was an example of this. Having said this, I should have created a barrier that shooters could not advance past on that stage. It would have eliminated the pasters issue as well as prevented people from shooting the wall, which happened twice last night. Thanks again for helping to score!

Thanks for getting this out, Jim, especially with me sending them to you last minute! See you tonight.

Thanks for the positive feedback, guys! It's a pleasure to design courses of fire for enthusiastic shooters. I'm enjoying it as much as you guys, and I really appreciate Nashville Armory for letting us have the match at their outstanding facility, and for not complaining when we run late from time to time.

I'll be there, obviously.. I can't post the COF from here, but I can tell you we have a stage where you fight your way out of a restaurant bathroom, and another where you shoot most of the targets while retreating and changing directions. The third stage requires all shots to be made with your weak hand. It will be challenging! Hope to see you tonight.

You're quite welcome, and I'm very happy to hear everyone had a good time.  I especially enjoyed seeing a revolver shooter do so well.  I've promised some wheelgun competition for Jim, but I can't come close to reloading like he does! See you guys on the 23rd.

Lately we've had 15 to 20. We got in four stages the last couple of matches.
