14 people committed thus far.  6 spots left.

I am looking at hosting an IDPA safety officer certification class for the 1st (or 2nd) Weekend in March for those interested.  I will be inviting other area SOIs to take part so you will have a vast amount of knowledge being passed along.  If you are interested, contact me at President@mctsclub.com with your current IDPA number, name and other valid contact information to begin the process.

Don't forget the shotgun if you are interested going head to head.  Depending on the head way made for the potential rifle area, I will be participating if enough people want to add this avenue.

Sun Jan 26 49° 25° Mostly Sunny Chance of rain: 0% Wind: W at 12 mph Details Great weather, abundant practice time and head to head competition........CAN'T get any better!

    This year I will be focused on MCTS and the shooting venues from a growth perspective  While we are an IDPA club, it is time we bring a new aspect to our club.  Hope to see you there as these items are taking shape..  

Upcoming MATCH: Steel Match Sunday January 26th, 2014 There will be practice time for each shooter in addition to the actual competition. There is no way to estimate how much ammo will be needed and we recommend at least 250 rounds. There will be Man vs Man and Team vs Team competitions.   Bring your own team is allowed(3 persons only)   Grand Showdown will be approx. 40 plus steel targets per individual.

Recommend using Tim Calhoun from Calhoun Customs or Jeff Walle from Guns n Leather.  Either one of them should be able to fix anything you have wrong.

I have made it official Monday.  MCTS has brought new affiliations to our club.  We were primarily an IDPA club but now we are also an USPSA club.  We last had an USPSA club back in 2007.  With this news, brings new match schedule.  Please look at www.mctsclub.com for the new schedule being worked on.   1st Saturday  IDPA 1st Sunday    USPSA Steel Challenge 2nd Sunday   Specialty matches (Zombie matches, IDPA Classifiers, 3 gun, long gun) 3rd Saturday  USPSA 3rd Sunday    USPSA 4th Sunday    Steel matches (outlaw steel or man vs man)   Hope to see you there soon!
