IDPA BUG match at Green River Gun Club on June 22'nd in Bowling Green KY.

[jmecklen]

Green River Gun Club of Bowling Green KY. will be hosting an IDPA BUG match on Saturday June 22'nd.

 

The "BUG" matches are primarily for two purposes . . . to get experience with our Back Up Guns (BUG), and to introduce new shooters or CCW holders to shooting.  

In terms of equipment and rules, a BUG match is about as easy as it gets.  

You need a .32 caliber or larger Pistol or Revolver.  

You only load 5 rounds per stage.  (So you don't need extra magazines or speed loaders.)  

You start from "Low Ready".  (So you don't even need a holster, or to practice drawing from one.)  

You only need 75 rounds.   (You'll probably need less than 50, but bring a few extra just in case a stage prop malfunctions and you need to reshoot a stage.)

The targets are usually MUCH closer than the normal IDPA match.   

If you've never shot anything like an IDPA or USPSA type match before . . . this is your best choice for an entry point.  

You don't "have" to bring a small BackUp Gun, you "can" bring your .45 1911, or whatever . . . but even with that, you'll still only be loading to 5 rounds.  So you, and everyone else, will be "on par" with each other.

Stop by and try it.  Its usually well attended.  With shooters of ALL levels.  Come see what its all about.

 

Setup will begin at 8am. Match will start at 9:30am. We will be shooting in squads. 
Cost will be $15.
