8th Annual ORSA Toys for Tots Match - 1 November

[2Alpha]

Time to sign up the ORSA's 8th Annual Toys for Tots match to be held 1 November!  If you have not already experienced the match, it is an action pistol "hybrid" match, using IDPA scoring and "IPSC no-rules."  There will be 8 fun and challenging stages, a free lunch, and a great prize table.  Prizes are awarded using a variation of the Lewis System, so virtually any one has a chance on getting a top prize off the table.  Guns that are legal for IDPA or USPSA Limited are allowed - though 10 round limit on magazines, and holster and mag styles and placement consistent with IDPA / production class rules.  Cost is only $35 + a new toy (minimum $15 value).  Application available at our Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/pages/ORSA-Toys-for-Tots/1474924499437284

For those who have shot the match are the stage round counts more USPSA than IDPA?  Meaning will you need more than 3 mags and 2 pouches?

Mix of both spiffy. Went through four mags on Jason's stage last year. I think it was like a 28-32 count min on that one.

Wow. Looks like a lot of fun. Would love to drive up and do it, but have a prior commitment. Maybe next time.

Have you not been to it before?  I think the last two years at least BigJ had an all steel stage with a high round count... lots of folks left steel standing on it.  Mystery stage is usually a bugger for me.  Last years SO comment:  man, that was the fastest run we've seen all day... of course you left 3 targets untouched, but man that was fast! :)

[Rickey]

Im looking forward to it. I know last years steel stage was fun and I'd forgotten about the mystery stage there was some pretty tight shots on it if I remember right.

Nope gonna run my M&P and the last of this batch of fal coated bullets.  With the tight shots and longer than usual distances...well for me at least...I know I can make those shots with the M&P. When your shooting for top of the lowest sector need all the edges I can get.

The weather DIDN'T effect the turn out!    Parking lot was full at 8 am.......scared me for a min!

 

I'll confess that I thought about actually tanking the match. I didn't shoot my best game but I still shot too good to get into Bronze.
