BUG match (Old Rules) Saturday March 28'th at Green River Gun Club

[jmecklen]

Green River Gun Club of Bowling Green KY. will be holding a  "OLD RULES" BUG Match on Saturday March 28'th.

The match will be run using last years IDPA rules:

Must be centerfire, 5 rounds max per string, no reloads on the clock, no draws from holster, barrels of 3.8" or less for pistols and 3" or less for revolvers.

 

"BUG" matches used to be (before the rules changed!) primarily for two purposes . . . to get experience with our BackUp Guns, and to introduce new shooters or CCW holders to shooting.  This is a great opportunity to knock the pocket lint off your carry gun, or bring your spouse or sibling or son's and daughters to the range to get some more realistic practice and instruction.

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

 . . .

You need a centerfire 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.)  Bring a rug or a box or a bag to move your gun on and off the stages.

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 . . . 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. For more info go to GRGC's website.
