In addition to 2-3 other regular stages, we will shoot the Postal match; see link http://www.idpapostalmatch.com/home.html
Link will take you to Official Postal site, there to see pictures of stages, stage descriptions, etc. If you have already shot the Postal in one Division, you may shoot it in another.
Following the main match, well shoot a BUG Gun match. Match fee for it is included in the main match. Dont know what a BUG gun is? Go to the IDPA rulebook for a definition. We will follow the IDPA rulebook for allowable guns, calibers, COF criteria, etc. Per the rulebook, guns will be loaded with 5 rounds only, with any required reloads (yes, there will be some) to be done off the clock. No stage will require a start from the holster; gun will start in IDPA box, in the hand, under a towel, in a briefcase, etc. Ammo carriers will not be required. Extra mags will not be required; expect to load some loose ammo into an empty mag off the clock. Distances will be modest; 15 yards and less, a lot less. Should not take more than 50 rounds to complete the COFs unless you miss a LOT.
We did shoot on Sunday the 11th, despite the rain. Per a choice of the shooters present, we set up two stages with Texas Stars and Pepper poppers, which we shot under big umbrellas until we either ran out of ammo or got tired. You can expect that we WILL offer a match on scheduled match dates. If the roads are too snowy or nasty to come to the match, then you get a pass to stay home to reload or dry-fire. In only a couple instances in the past 10 years have I actually cancelled a match. The last time, we had 20 of snow of the ground and I cancelled at least 24 hours in advance. You can expect the trend to continue.
