USPSA Clinic - Fort Wayne, 4/27

[rvb]

Are you wanting to get started in USPSA but don't know where to begin?
Maybe you're not sure if you're good enough to compete or what equipment is needed?
Are the rules overwhelming?
Maybe you've got a few matches under your belt and you're looking for some shooting tips, or want to know how to practice and where to improve?

The Fort Wayne USPSA club will be running a USPSA "Clinic" on Saturday, April 27th at the Fort Wayne Rifle and Revolver (FWRR) club in Harlan, IN.
The club is located a few minutes NE of Fort Wayne (address/directions can be found at fwrrclub.org).

Cost is $20. Juniors are free with accompanying/paying adult. A club liability waiver will be required to be signed.

Tentative Agenda:

• morning "classroom" portion in the clubhouse:
  • rule book basics (focusing on things like safety and range commands)
  • scoring
  • divisions and equipment
  • Shooting fundamentals (grip, holsters, reloading, shot calling)
  • dryfire practice techniques
• lunch break (Bring your own lunch)
• afternoon "live fire" portion on the range:
  • revisit Shooting fundamentals
  • live-fire practice techniques/drills
  • sample courses of fire

When we are done you should feel confident to jump in and start competing.

Start time is 9 am. We will finish mid/late afternoon. Bring your own lunch. You will also need eye protection and hearing protection.
The range is outdoors so dress accordingly.

If you have equipment you intent to compete with, bring it. But if you don't have something (belt, holster, etc) let me know and we'll try to work out
loaner gear, if possible, before you go buy something.

I will primarily be running the course. I am a USPSA Grand Master. I've been involved in practical pistol since about 2002, and USPSA since about 2006.
I'm certified as a USPSA Chief Range Officer (CRO) and am also an NRA pistol instructor. Some other experienced members of the club will be assisting me.

For now, I plan to limit attendance to 12.

If you have questions, you can ask in this thread, PM me here, or email me at ftw_uspsa@yahoo.com

at this time, I am not going to require payment up front. Please be considerate and only sign up if you are committed to attend, and let me know if you have to cancel. I will keep a wait list if necessary.

An additional note, minors will require a guardian to sign the liability waiver.

I don’t yet have a solid idea of round count. Bring 200 and you can take the left overs to your next match...

All 12 spots have been spoken for.

If you are interested go ahead and send me an email with your phone number and I will keep a wait list and fill any vacancies that should come up.
If you've signed up and find out you are not able to attend, please let me know so others can get the opportunity.

Thank you to all who signed up. Here I was worried I'd get enough response to make this worth while... seems there is a need for this type of introductory program.
