I know you guys are really great about new shooters coming.

Any hints on what to bring, some of the stages must be outside in January. Any tips on what to bring for a new guy.

Gun, ammo got that, but I have only done summer events. Thinking the sunblock and water may not be much use?? [smile]

Thanks!!
 
I wear layers of clothing that are comfortable. A nice hat, some gloves. Be prepared to be in the cold for long period of time, Most shooters shed a layer of clothing during there stage.

Hand warmers are always popular both for your hands and toes.

Water I still suggest bringing some, I also find that some "trail mix" helps me do better during the day YMMV..

Keeping warm is easy if you are the 1st guy down range to tape and brass VERSUS the guy that does not move :)

No real difference. Gun, ammo, mags, holster, mag carriers, concealment garment, flashlight. But also layered clothing, warm boots, gloves, hat.
 
I read somewhere in the IDPA rules that LEO's and military personnel that are off duty can wear their duty rigs as long as it had all the items in it (OC, baton, flashlite, etc) and compete in the match. Is this allowed and does it happen often?

Yes it is allowed:

Exception – Police or military officers may use their duty rig, but
ALL retention features of the holster MUST be used and all belt
equipment (mace, handcuffs, etc.) must be present.

Use concealment for scenario stages when
appropriate. Exception: Police or military officers when using
actual duty gear.

There are several LEO's that shoot regularly locally. I have seen them shoot some local matches in their duty gear. The Coast Guard Academy cadets shoot in their duty gear as well (NER).
 
Tomorrow's forecast shows there will be light snow doing the match. This match is called Nor'easter for a reason, please dress warm in layers. There will be coffee and donuts during registration at the club house. We will also be handing out hand warmers. Hope to see you all tomorrow!

Absolutely! You may see me at practice in the near future again!

Unfortunately I spent the day with a very sick dog instead of shooting anything. [frown]
