ORSA USPSA Janurary 18th

[Spiffy]

Looks like that day may be clear for me to attend. I will take up anyone who can loan me a mag pouch/holster, as I do not have any of those. (anybody wanna volunteer one?)

I have 4 mags, which I imagine should be enough? I will convert back to the stock Glock 19 barrel. I will be there early to peper you guys wth a ton of "noob" questions.
My goal is to not make an ass of myself. (well, shooting safely is primary. Second is to not embarass myself)

 

Anything else that I should consider bringing besides beverage, cleaning kit & oil, and ammo?
 

 

Practicing my Fog Horn Leghorn voice for "Go away boy ya bother me" LOL!

[Spiffy]

I got an Uncle Mike's holster I'll see if I can find up.  Even if ya dont have a holster you can always bag and unbag at the start of each stage and start low ready, I think they still do that. But I'll see what I can dig up. You might have to fight Jimmy in a cage match for it before the match but at least it will be fun!

Yeah just shoot limited that way you dont have to worry about planning mag changes and stuff with only 10 rounds.  A long course is never over 32 rounds.....but that doesn't count all the misses. I'm firmly in the camp of " I can't shoot for shit so I come to the line with 61 rounds".

jaxjohn;

 

 

Eyes and Ears...vision and hearing protection.

A sturdy belt to support holster and mag pouches...I have a few extra holsters and mag pouches for the Glock 19.

Cash for the fee...IIRC $15.00 for non-member...$10.00 for ORSA member.

Open Mind and a Sense of Humor.

 

Cleaning kit and oil? You clean a Glock??? Seriously?  :cool:

 

 

OK OK...I cleaned my once...I think. Dropping it in a mud puddle counts...

 

 

Brasil and I should be there around 0900-0915.

 

I don't know much about this USPSA stuff so the other guys will have to help out of that side of things...but there's shooting involved so it'll be fun! :up:

[BrasilNuts]

Well why didn't ya win last month?

Touché.

There were faster Indians there. lol

Reminds me of the bumper sticker: "I may be slow, but I'm ahead of you!" Edited January 15, 2014 by BrasilNuts

Shoot safely first, everything else will fall into place after that.

If we didn't all embarass ourselves it wouldn't be any fun. :D

I'll bring some extra holsters too. I have an extra belt that goes from 38-44 if you need it. Edited January 15, 2014 by BrasilNuts

[jaxjohn419]

i have the eyes/ears, belt. holster (for the Glock, ot the mags), 5 mags. I never leave home without my sense of humor and severe sarcasm.
Who's going to provide my ammo?   (just kidding!!)
I will plan on being there @9am. 

[jaxjohn419]

is there an open range at ORSA where we can send a few rounds downrange beforehand?

[Rickey]

There's all kinds of sarcasm there, last match I could of swore I heard the sound of a baby crying !!!!!!!

[Jamie Jackson]

There's gotta be a story there Rickey. :popcorn:

 

 

 

jaxjohn;

 

There is a "plinking range", but unless you're a member you have to come out as a guest (accompanied).

And since there's no shooting allowed before 0900 there simply wouldn't be enough time before the match.

Are you having functional concerns about your handgun?

[dlmeadows]

There's all kinds of sarcasm there, last match I could of swore I heard the sound of a baby crying !!!!!!!

Again...what are you trying to say Rickey??? lol

[BrasilNuts]

I think he's trying to say...

Insert "$5 fine for whining" video here.

;)

[dlmeadows]

Thats it.....I'm whoopin all yalls asses when I get to the range Saturday!!! :slapfight: :slapfight: :slapfight: :death:

[jaxjohn419]

no functional issues. just thought it might settle any nervousness to send some lead out beforehand...

[Rickey]

When a man throws a rock into a pack of dogs the one that yelps is usually the one that got hit :stir:  :poop: :poop: :poop:

I appreciate what you're saying jaxjohn. But not to worry good sir.

You'll do fine. Just remember we are all there to enjoy the sport and you, imho, should only be concerned with competing against yourself (my personal goal).

Be safe, listen to the S.O., take all the time you need, be safe (theme here), and enjoy.

 

Despite all the carrying on and good natured ribbing, the folks at the matches are very supportive and welcoming of new folks, and a wealth of solid information...heck...they don't even treat me that bad. :pleased:

[Rickey]

Its all in fun. But as its supposed to be 16degs in the morning I think I'm gonna miss the match tomorrow. Its been a ruff week

[BrasilNuts]

Hate you're not gonna make it Rickey, get some rest and cast some boolits. :D

[Rickey]

Thanks Y'all have fun and try not to be too hard on Danny Boy!!!!

[BrasilNuts]

Since you asked we'll go easy on him, I don't know how he's gonna make it without you.

[dlmeadows]

No sympathy needed....although we may have to revoke old Rickeys "man card" lol. he's adopting the Earl method of shooting, only when its sunny and 70 ;)

[Jamie Jackson]

Enjoy your day off Rickey.

 

Wish me luck with these guys. :cool:

You wont need it, not shooting the best bullets in the business :)

You mean Brasil is wrong? It is the arrows? :stunned:

 

 

 

Just kidding Daniel. They are the best...now I just gotta do my part brother. :up:

[Jamie Jackson]

OK, This match was a heck of a lot of fun.

 

My appreciation to the folks that put all the effort into setting this up and making it work. :up:

 

It was great to shoot with my buds Brasil & Spiffy...Shoot with Daniel for the first time...meet jaxjohn (welcome aboard buddy) and the other great folks in the squad.

 

Clear skies and sunshine...a bit cold to start..but a great day!

 

 

I'm looking forward to the next one for sure. :pleased:
