    As mentioned earlier, Riley Conservation Club will be carrying on the outdoor tradition of the Carry Gun Match inspired by Aron Bright (coach)

    The match will be held on Bay 7 (the farthest Bay). The match will start at 0900 and competitors can sign up for a slot. Currently the match is set up to accommodate 20 shooters.

    Below are the rules as written by Aron.

    "The philosophy behind this match is for it to be a shooting test as related to real world, every day carry that any armed civilian may encounter. It will be a match since we are keeping score. There will not be gun restrictions, nor caliber restrictions. The courses of fire will always be between one and twelve shots. A shooter will have to do a mandatory reload after a sixth shot in courses of fire requiring more than six shots.

    There will be two divisions. Open, which is anything goes. Limited, which means no optics, lasers, lights, or ported barrels. The gun must be worn to the match and worn from the match. There will be no safe area for gun handling. The gun must remain in the holster except when on the firing line under the direct observation and authority of the range officer. After completing each course of fire the shooter will change magazines and safely re-holster and therefore be ready for the next course of fire. Prior to each course of fire the shooter will be given the opportunity for a press check. No sight pictures maybe taken during the press check.

    This match will be shot from concealment. The gun and holster must be completely concealed while standing with both arms extended and raised to the shoulder level. All reloads must come from a concealed position on the belt or from a pocket.

    Requirements:

    Ear and Eye protection

    Holster that securely attaches to a belt (No ankle or shoulder holsters)

    2 magazines or speed loaders (more would be better)"

    This match will be 8 stages and roughly 71 rounds (warning, there will be steel targets, plan accordingly)

    I think I have asked this before, but is it okay for a noob to shoot this match? Or would something else be better suited?

    New to competition, you will be fine and you can be walked through

    New to firearms, you may want some training from local firearms training groups such as ACT or another similar group
    Thanks. New to competitions. I have taken 3 classes with Aron, 2 with ACT, several with RR and several others. I tend to do training classes vs competition since I have no speed!

    I signed up. I assume I pay when I get there?

    Also, I guess you should bring some paint so you can paint around me to see if I'm moving.

    Or the other option is I go fast and we don't have to paste any targets! ;)

    This will be interesting, lol.

    Let's see if it fills up first.

    But if it doesn't fill,

    2nd gun can't be shot in the same division

    Those guns considered open, can't be shot on limited (see OP for definitions).
    Limited guns may be shot in open.

    Accommodations will be made around your time slot but will not bump a person who has arrived and ready for their time slot.

    Okay. I just don't want to end up getting there and not being able to shoot during my time slot. My day is kinda limited timewise. Thanks.
