The first Defensive Pistol Match of the year is this Saturday.
We will have four stages and the course of fire is attached as a pdf below.
Set-up will begin at 8 am.
We hope there will be a good turn-out. In order to decrease wait times, there will be three different squads. Please be there at the designated time; each squad will begin with a match brief. The only stage walk-through will be at 10 am. If you cannot make it, please read the stage descriptions and talk to the other shooters. If the shooter is not “ready” when walking up to the line, the on-deck shooter will shoot instead, so that the first shooter has additional time to review the stage. We need to work expeditiously to minimize wait times, and we need help from all with pasting and resetting.
Squad 1: 10:00 am
Squad 2: 12:00 pm
Squad 3: 2:00 pm
Please email me your squad preference and indicate a second choice.
Respond to this email or send your preferred squad to idpa@airfieldshootingclub.org. Email sign-in will close on Friday, May 30, at 12 noon.
Walk-ins are welcome, but may encounter longer wait times.
Want to get your volunteer hours and have some fun too? We will have Boy Scouts using the ranges on May 10th and will need RSO’s. They will be using all ranges so we need 4 RSO’s for the day. If you are available for the day you can satisfy your service hour requirements all at one time. Please contact me at instructor@airfieldshootingclub.org or call me at 757-572-2835.
We also have Scouts using ranges on May 24th and May 31st If you can help with any of these events please contact me.
Thanks for your support.
