IDPA BUG match at Green River Gun Club in Bowling Green KY. this Saturday (6/21/14)

[jmecklen]

Due to an error on our schedule, Green River Gun Club will be holding an IDPA match this coming Saturday (6/21/2014).

GRGC normally shoots IDPA on the 4'th and 5'th Saturday not the 3'rd Saturday, but somebody screwed up the schedule and nobody caught it.

So our screw-up is your gain. Come out to Bowling Green KY. and shoot a IDPA BUG (Back Up Gun) match this Saturday.

 

The "BUG" matches are primarily for two purposes . . . to get experience with our BackUp Guns, 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.  Bring your "significant other" and let them experience a match in a more casual, relaxed setting.  

Its usually well attended.  With shooters of ALL levels.  Come see what its all about.

 

Stages have not yet been chosen,  but a round count of 75 should be close.

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