We have one at Gallatin with the new inserts for CCP and BUG.

On the rifle stages, Rifle and one 30 rounder will get you through each stage.  I plan on having one steel reactive target on each stage needing 2 shots. The steel will be within 40 yards, one of the MGM rifle mini-poppers. We will reset stages one and four for the rifle match. If I get a big group, I can add another one, so bring some extra ammo. Pistol stage 2 is your typical card game gone wrong, I wonder how it would be with rifle? :panic:   Daniel will have to use gangster compliant magazines.

Saturday July 11th is our regular monthly IDPA match plus a 2 stage rifle side match. IDPA match is 4 stages requiring 80 rounds to complete. The rifle side match is 2 stages requiring 52 rounds to complete. Range fees for this match are $10 for Gallatin members, $15 for non-members. Side match is $5. Rifles for side match may be AR-15, M1 carbs. or AK variants, Rifle or pistol calibers.  Set up is at 7:00, Shooters meeting at 9:00.

Stages are setup, Just needs targets and final adjustments.  I filled in the big dip in the road at the drain pipe so low cars and get across without dragging. The bays are mowed and more brush and limbs have been picked up and stacked. 

Thanks for all that came out to the intro match.  I will do again next year, looking at April in 2016. 

The only scoring will be on stage 5 for anybody needing a classifier. Feel free to score yourself and keep the score sheets. This allows folks to shoot only the stages they want or a single stage more than once. This month only.

Any early birds coming out this Saturday, I plan on having the stages set Friday night. If I have a group ready at 8:00, we will start then. I have a group coming in at 9:00 so anybody needing to leave early, come early.   Robert :stunned:

Thanks John. I am getting a huge response on this. I may have more folks that the big match last year. If any of you have training (blue) guns, bring them. If the bays get crowed, I would like to get folks off to the side and do more instruction. Soooo all you range officers come out. I will have a separate sign in sheet for you. :woohoo:

3:30PM. And while your at it, throw in .357sig and magnum

For the IDPA class, A strong side holster held in place with a good belt, 3 magazines, two magazine holders. Revolver shooters can have 4 speed loaders. Stock pistols or pistols with very limited mods. 9mm,.40s&w, .45ACP, .38 special or .380 if shooting a back up gun. bring at least 100 rounds. 200 if you want to practice more. If you have no holsters, we can start you from a gun bag at low ready.  If you feel uneasy drawing from your holster, we can start you from low ready. This day is all about learning about the shooting sports out here. Testing the water so to speak. Glocks and Smith & Wesson M&P lines are popular in stock class. Colt 1911's and clones from Kimber and STI are seen in CDP class. I can class most any gun out their that is suitable for conceal carry. A 8" .44 mag or .50 ACP is not a gun most would carry, However if you want to fire a few rounds off from one, bring enough ammo for me too. :rock:

Any body needing a classification, the classifier will be set up in Bay 5. Feel free to practice before classifying.  :up: I have a large Church group that allow carry in Church coming to shoot with us. We may get some new IDPA members from them. :woohoo:

I have most of the new wall sections covered and have the COF's set up in bays 1-5 on the flat side. I will need the sticks brought over and targets hung.  Bring about 100 rounds for Saturdays match.    Robert :usa:

You can get as much or as little coaching as needed. The start time is 9:00 usually, however for this match, come and go as needed. I can take new shooters until around 1:00. I will hold a mass safety meeting around 8:30 - 9:00AM. If you arrive late, you will get the one on one. Remember safety is first, no show and tell at bays. Their will be tables set up next to the woods for that. Each bay will be stand alone, run by the range officers in that bay. You will be able to move about. The classifier will be set in bay five if anybody needs it for score or practice.  Also no memberships are required for this match, open to all safe shooters. Unsafe shooters will be ask to leave and I will keep your range fee. What is safe you ask?  All guns in a holster or bag when not shooting on the line under the direction of a range officer. No gun handling outside the bays. Safe areas will be set up to check your firearm if needed. No ammo in the safe area. No show and tell in the open areas around the bays. First infraction you will be coached on protocol, second you may be ask to leave. Long guns carried muzzle up or down. Cased is better or on a range cart.

I plan on staying until 4:00 or everybody is finished. I am sure there will be a need for one on one. And the practice time is open until 4:00. Any body willing to help, come when you can and leave when you need. :hat:

I may have to get Tom to come in and supervise. :taser:
