Hey guys, time to celebrate spring with outdoor steel plate matches. Our club has done them for the last two years, but figured we'd take a page or of the Hopkinton Heavy Hitters play book and switch ours up a little.

No competition experience required! If this is your first time, no worries we will brief you. Come one, come all. The only requirement is that you are SAFE.

Where:
Northampton Revolver Club
579 Ryan Rd., Florence, Ma 01062

Date: Wednesday 4/18/2018

Time: 5:00 PM till everyone is out of money or ammo...or dark.

Location: NRC outdoor 50' range.

The match: $3.00 per entry; 8 person relays; $6.00 to winner; $3 for second place. We draw lots for initial pairing and "award" an extra target for each full relay you win!

The targets: Five 8 Inch Plates; 2 side by side racks. Man on man. 8 person elimination "pyramid" style.

Equipment: Any safe/serviceable handgun 38/9mm or larger; semi or revolver. Iron sights or slide mounted dots. No more than 10 rounds in the gun.

Procedure: Muzzle on table, finger off the trigger. Buzzer start. First one to knock down their targets advances.
Relay winners get an extra target for all subsequent entries.

Safety: IPSC/USPSA - Safety rules, Firearms in holster or "bagged" No handling of firearms other than on the firing line or the safety area.

Bring lots of ammo. We keep shooting as long as people want to sign up or until dark.

We usually have a party size pizza and waters. Hope to see everyone there.

I like this. The usual approach is award 1 target, and no more - which still leaves room for a good shooter to dominate the event.
 
We were doing timed runs and pairing people together that way, but this method seemed to work at Hopkinton. Plus it's single elimination.
 
Bump.

Less than two weeks away.

I know it's a hike for some of you, but should be a good time. Will probably shoot till dark, so should be able to fit in enough relays to accommodate people showing up later.

Plus, we usually end with free grudge matches if you want to go against a friend or someone who knocked you out in a previous relay.
 
We are a go for tonight. Hope to see some of you out there. You can show up anytime and sign up for the next relay. We'll shoot until about 7:30.
