Mick, I'll step out of my comfort zone and try one of these. I'll pick a squad in practiscore but feel free to put me wherever you think is best.

I don't think my Ruger MKII is a good candidate due to cumbersome mag changes( I assume those are part of the COF) so I will plan on using a 15-22 rifle this time.

 

[gottabeoutdoors]

Sounds good! However, I may have to cancel the match. My normal early (~ 7:30 am) morning setup help sources are not available this Sunday. Playing it by ear right now.

I guess I'll wait a bit then. I would offer to help but leaving here at 5:30 AM and no breakfast might not be the best thing to do prior to my first competition.

 

[gottabeoutdoors]

I did go ahead and cancel the match. Looking forward to next season, though!

Thanks Mick. Gives me another 6 months or so to practice. Plus I just bought a Taurus TX22 Competition. Should be a good candidate for this style of shooting.

That pistol is PERFECT for this series! Plus, Tandem Kross has a +5 extension for mags that make them feel like they'll never empty!

Looking forward to seeing you next year!

Mick,

Do you know when the club will post the dates for this year's matches? Thanks.

 

[SlowPlay]

Just because you asked, 2023 RFS dates: 3/5, 4/2, 5/7, 6/4, 7/2, 8/6, 9/3, 10/8, 11/5. But aways subject to change!

what time will set up be

Hello!

Sorry - hadn't visited the forums for a few weeks.

I'll get to the club by 7:30 am each morning of the match. So last year I basically said setup begins at 7:30 am.

We have an RFS mailing list for anyone who'd like match emails. I send them out about a week prior to a match along with the Practiscore link. Here is the sign up form: https://wvrpc.org/rfs/

I also use this list for sending cancellations (as well as through Practiscore to registered shooters).

Let me know if you have any other questions! I'll be posting here about a week out from the upcoming 3/5 match so we have a sense for what the weather roughly looks like and what UPSPA's plans are for the day before (since we rely heavily on their stages).

Thanks!
Mick

Question regarding thumb safeties. My TX22C has a thumb safety as that is the only way it comes. Am I required to use it since it is on the pistol? Or can I leave it off the entire time? Thanks.

Good question!

This is from the rulebook:



The 'COF' refers to the written Course Of Fire - which is synonymous with 'stage description'.

Thanks for asking!

Well then I better get practicing! I can see some "dead" first trigger pulls in my future!

Gonna have a March match?
Haven't seen anything posted

Post number 11. It looks like it's on for this Sunday the 5th but we should let gottabeoutdoors confirm.
We may have 3 from this area coming up. Gregkl, myself, and one of my club friends for a first timer RFS entrant.

 

[gottabeoutdoors]

Medical emergency - gotta postpone. Hope to see you in April.

Mick

Sorry to hear about the emergency, best wishes for a positive outcome.

 

[EyeCarry]

Oh no, I hope for the best on your emergency.
The match can wait!

 

[gregkl]

You can also check the club website. I looked last night and it showed cancelled.

I signed up for email notifications but haven't received any yet. Either I did not get completely signed up or they haven't sent any out since I signed up.

Hope the medical emergency is workable and whomever it is recovers quickly!

This gives me another month to get used to engaging and disengaging the thumb safety!
