Hi Shooters,
Our October IDPA match is cancelled as our match director and several staff members will be competing in the New Hampshire State Championship. Since the day is free, we thought we'd try something different: USPSA with small squads and start times to greatly reduce the amount of time required to complete a match.
USPSA matches have difficulty scaling when squad sizes increase beyond 12 shooters. Shooters can wait an hour or more between runs and the match can last all day. As much as we all enjoy shooting, it can be very difficult to dedicate an entire day to it.
Our proposed solution: USPSA with Golf style foursomes and defined start times.
At 10 AM, we will start a squad of 4 shooters and continue starting them every 15 minutes thereafter. This should result in your match lasting 1 hour in length. Your total time on the property should be about 90 minutes.
Please see the match particulars below for more information.
If you have any suggestions or ideas to improve the format of the match, please let me know. If you would like to RO and score a squad, we'd love to have your help.
We need a minimum 4 RO's and 16 competitors to test his out. Be a part of history! This could revolutionize the sport as we know it!
Match Particulars:
Set up Date & Time: Saturday September 30[SUP]th[/SUP], 1 PM
Match Date & Time: Sunday, October 1[SUP]st[/SUP], 10 AM
Start times: First squad 10 AM and every 15 minutes thereafter. Staff shoots at 9 AM
5 Stages: 3 intermediate stages, 1 short stage and a classifier stage.
Match Fee: $25
Please arrive 20-30 minutes before your start time so you can register and see the stages ahead of your squad’s abbreviated walk through.

When squading online, please fill the earliest squad times first.
If spots are open, shooters will be able to shoot the match a second time for $15.00
Match staff: Anyone who volunteers to help with the build Saturday will shoot the match for free Sunday at 9 AM. Additionally, RO’s will received a $20 dollar honorarium for each foursome squad they run and score. Please e-mail me ([email protected]) if you would like to volunteer to RO and Score. You will need a timer and a device running Practiscore. I have 2 timers and an Ipad someone can borrow. ROs must break the stages down and put away the equipment at the end of the match.
If you have any questions or ideas regarding the match, please post them into this thread. I’m very interested in your feedback before and after the match.
Thanks and see you there!
