Hopefully many of you saw the announcement in 'The Message'. Here it is...

Think you're a good shot? What about a great shot? What does it take to be a great shot? What about a pistol match that tests your ability across five different disciplines of action pistol?
On Saturday, September 20, 2008, the Rod and Gun Club of New Bedford will be hosting the first ever GOAL Pistol Master's Cup match featuring one stage each of USPSA, IDPA, Steel Challenge, falling steel plate and PPC. The person who does the best across all five will be the Cup winner.
The proceeds from the match will benefit GOAL’s Heritage program, which in turn is given back to clubs in the form of grant money. So even if you’re not the GOAL Pistol Master's Cup winner, we all still win.
Each stage of USPSA, IDPA, Steel Plate, Steel Challenge and PPC is worth a max of 100 stage points, for a maximum possible match total of 500 points. Each stage is scored independently. USPSA scoring for the USPSA stage, IDPA scoring for its stage, etc. with the stage winner getting all 100 stage points and the rest get a percentage of stage points based on their percentage as compared to the stage winner. The shooter with the most overall match points for their division is the division winner.
There are five different divisions loosely based on USPSA divisions of Open, Limited, Production, Single Stack and Revolver. You have to use the same gun/holster/etc for all 5 stages and the equipment requirements for the different disciplines would be relaxed. So an open shooter will use their open equipment on the IDPA stage, but will only be able to load 10 rounds into their mags for example.
In addition to the GOAL Pistol Master's Cup, the Rod and Gun Club of New Bedford will also be having its annual Field Day Weekend on Saturday and Sunday which is basically an open house to all the activities that the club has to offer. There will be living history, Native American, archery, range demonstrations, raffles, etc. Field Day is a free event open to the public. This is a great opportunity to bring a non-shooter to see what goes on at a club and to try shooting a firearm for the first time.
The final activity of the day will be the crowning of the GOAL Pistol Master's Cup Champions which will be at the Pig and Chicken Roast on Saturday evening. Tickets for the roast are sold separately. You do not have to be present to receive your award, although you'd be missing a great dinner. The Roast is a BYOB event and reserving tickets ahead of time is strongly suggested. There will be a very limited number of tickets available at the door.
If you're interested in taking a shot at becoming the GOAL Pistol Master's Cup Champion additional information can be found at the club's website www.rodgun-nb.org. If you are interested in helping to run the match or to reserve tickets to the Roast please contact Dave Bold at (508) 984-9589.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Couple of notes:
1) The pig/chicken roast tickets are on sale through Sunday night (9/14) as we have to give the roaster a count on Monday. If you want tickets to the roast, please call me asap - there will only be a very small number of tickets available at the door.
2) We have several volunteers but could use a few more. If you want to do something fun that will help raise much needed funds for GOAL - here's your chance.
