MATCH DAY SCHEDULE

7:30am - Set-up begins. We need volunteers with trucks to haul equipment from the Connex by the office to and from the range.

8:00am - Shooters check in. Pre-registered shooters must check in by 8:30 or risk giving up their slot to a walk-on. We ask that you help finalize set-up to help us start on time.

8:45am - Mandatory shooters' safety meeting. This will take place when set-up is finished. The faster the set-up, the sooner we get to the meeting. All shooters must attend the safety meeting.

9:00am - First shots (depending on the timing of set-up and the meeting)

2:00pm - Tear down and haul equipment back to the office. We kindly request that people help carry back materials once tear-down is complete.

Important Match Information

IDPA MEMBERSHIP

This is a reminder that without an IDPA member number, your scores will not be accepted by IDPA when we upload them. To have your scores available for upload and viewing, (and to get an additional discount on your match fee) support IDPA by becoming a member. (IDPA website)

IDPA RULES

Please know the rules before you compete. Our Safety Officers must ensure that upwards of 80 people safely complete the match, and while they do not mind answering questions and explaining or interpreting the occasional rule, it is up to all participants to know the rules about equipment, gear, round counts, cover, reloading, movement, etc ahead of time. Stopping the match to teach a shooter how to play the game slows down the day and makes it longer for everyone. (IDPA rule book)

A NOTE ON MATCH SAFETY

IDPA has specific rules about safety that must be followed at all times. These can be found in the IDPA rule book. Participants who break these safety rules will be DQ'd.

SAFE TABLES

There are 2-3 safe tables for use during a match. One is on the road approaching the match area across from the 25-yard range, one is typically around stage 5 and 6, and a third is typically at stage 1. Know the IDPA rules regarding safe tables. No ammunition is allowed at a safe table (even if it is on your person in a magazine). No snap caps are allowed at safe tables. Do not sweep yourself or anyone else with the muzzle. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction (the berm or the safe table backstop). See the IDPA rule book for complete rules regarding safe tables.

CONCEALED CARRY

IDPA mandates a cold range. Participants: If you arrive at the match with your loaded concealed carry firearm, you will need to unload it completely at the safe table across from the 25 yard range before you can register. At all times, everyone's firearm must be unloaded (magazine out, no round in the chamber, and "hammer down"). The only time the firearm may be loaded is on the firing line under the direct command of a safety officer. Failure to follow these IDPA rules will result in an immediate disqualification. Spectators: Spectators watching the match who can legally carry a concealed firearm may do so, but they must stay on the gravel road that runs along the bays. At no time may a spectator carrying a loaded firearm enter the stand-by area off the road at the opening of any of the bays.
