December 2nd, 2010 Stages

1. We're going to be running 99-21, "Minimart", a 12 rd Virginia Count stage. Here are some folks running it:
   


2. We'll swap out the counter for a chair and a table, then run a 20-something Comstock course from seated.
   


3. Lastly, we'll run "No-Shoot Nightmare", a 10=round Comstock course...
   
   

Squadding - This worked well!

Thank you to everyone who came out last night and were patient while we tried to explain our new policy changes.

Overall, we were impressed: Even with the late start and high volume of shooters, we were able to get out early, give the new shooters adequate time and grab pizza in a timely fashion!

For the next match, we have a few more tweaks:

• We will cap at 27 shooters - 3 squads of 9.
• We will have 3 sign-in sheets to speed sign up. Bill has graciously allowed us to use the front room as a sign-in area. Thanks Bill!

Please, do keep in mind that starting in January we will require USPSA membership to compete - except for new shooters who will have a month to try it out.

Cheers & Thanks,
-The Mgmt.

November 18

Way to go Deus!

Upcoming Club Changes - Please Read!

Dear MISS competitors,

The MISS directorship met recently to review the match-to-match operation of the club and decided to change a few aspects of its functioning in order to ensure a smoother match, better stages and a less stressful experience for the RO's.

Please review the changes below:

Membership:

1. The current membership system is too cumbersome - we will revert back to a fixed $15.00 match fee for all qualified competitors (see #3 below)
2. Existing members will be refunded the $15.00 overage that they paid in the form of prepaid match fee to be used no later than our last shoot in the 2010-2011 season.
3. Membership in USPSA will now be required to shoot, with two exceptions:
   
   1. Prospective members will have a one-month grace period to assess MISS/USPSA-style shooting.
   
   
   2. Existing club member that are not USPSA members will have until January 6th, 2011 to become USPSA members.

USPSA Rules:

1. We are a USPSA affiliated club and follow the current USPSA rulebook.
2. Competitor equipment - in regards to firearms and placement - will be inspected on the line by the RO. (If you have questions regarding your equipment/legal placement, please ask and we'd be happy to help you.)
3. We will be enforcing USPSA's rules regarding disqualifications (DQ). Competitors that DQ will be coached through the DQ in order to turn the experience into a learning one.

Match Structure:

1. Matches will be capped at 27 competitors.
   
2. Registration will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis, with the exceptions being the current Range Officers, Match Director, and Range Master.
3. Scoresheets will now include the waiver and emergency contact list on the back - failure to fill it out will result in dismissal. (Please note that it is MISS' general policy not share any personal data - other than scores and names, which are necessary for USPSA scoring - to 3rd parties)
   
4. Entries will generally not be allowed after the first walk through begins, except at the discretion of the Match Director and then only as a courtesy for such incidents such as inclement weather, vehicle problems, etc for known competitors.
5. The scorekeeper shall not tally points on the line and shall focus on getting the shooting order called out.
6. Squadding:
   
   1. We will run three (3) squads of up to nine (9) shooters.
   2. Only the current squad and the RO will be allowed on the range under normal circumstances.
   3. All squad members are requested to be in the range while their squad is shooting.
      
      1. Members waiting are requested to setup/tape.
      2. Only members currently shooting, on deck, or in the hole are exempt from setup/taping.
   4. The RO's will be distributed among squads so that they can focus on their match performance.
   5. The third squad will generally be reserved for new competitors and will be assigned a "mentor" to guide them through the match.

EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN:

1. The four rules (Cooper's Rules) of firearm safety will be discussed at the first stage walkthrough of each match.
2. The Match Director will identify emergency personnel at the beginning of each match.
3. In the event of a serious injury, the squad should clear the line and notify the Match Directory immediately.
4. The Closest trauma center is Centegra McHenry - that's where we will request you be taken.
5. Several competitors have trauma kits - one will be on the line at all times in case of incident.

November 18, 2010 Stages

We will be running the classifier CM 99-10, "Times Two". Here's a link to Ben Stoeger running it at 100% - Easy!

Additionally, we'll be running "Head Games".


It is a bit confusing, so watch Phil B. do it from last year:

22 Friday Night Match!

Bill at HP runs .22 caliber "plate rack" man vs man matches on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month, starting this Friday. I can't make it out - but a lot of folks will be there!

$12.00 for 3 runs or $5.00 for one run - each run is best of 3.

Bring 2-3 magazines and some round nose .22 ammunition.

Nov 4th 2010 Scores

Division scores are posted on USPSA. Link on the side --------->
Our club is NI09 (November India Zero Nine)

Classifier has been submitted and paid for - to all the new shooters that came out:
Hope you had a good time - hope to see you again!

To Deus Z: WTF? You were #1 on the crazy stage and last on the classifier?
Are you sandbagging?!?!

;)
