Changes for the 2012-2013 Season


Since our club has grown so fast in the previous two years - we've essentially tripled - and since we've pretty much exhausted the capacity of venue we've used for the past several years, the directors of MISS had to explore options and make a choice to move the club to a new venue.

We lobbied pretty hard and presented our situation to the next closest range, the folks at On Target, and they agreed to host our matches!

These changes are for the better:
  • Multiple bays ensures that we can accommodate more shooters
  • Larger bays allows us to present more challenging indoor stages
  • A robust ventilation system ensures that regular's lead exposure is kept to a minimum
  • Computer controlled targets allows us to run fixed-time stages as a line and with ease
  • Location is a bit friendlier for Chicagoans coming to compete

Additionally, we've strived to keep the price of our matches contained, only increasing our match fee to $20.00.

Matches will run a bit differently than usual. The biggest difference is a shift from Thursday night to Wednesday nights. Additionally, we're still working out a few details on how to stage shooters, where to keep gear, etc, but we will stay with online registration and will turn away walk-in's. As we sort the situation out, we'll be capping our matches at 40 competitors and we'll have to play a bit with the dates. 

We hope you're all as excited as we are with this great opportunity!

Regards,

MISS Board of Directors
