What: 6 stage USPSA match, including one classifier stage

Will this be indoors if it rains?

Last month's match was outside in cold rainy weather so I'd venture it won't be inside.

We don't have the space indoors to do a shoot of this size.

Yes, indoors or out you should always practice safe USPSA

I am hoping that it is not epic rain and cold like last month's match but rain or shine I will be there on Saturday....

Just kidding, I'll assume you are new and cut you some slack. Come see me if you want to shoot and I will make sure you stay safe and have a good time.

Same here. Although if it is REALLY miserable, I will not shoot and will just work the match again.

The good news is that the forecast is 65 degrees and only a 20% chance of rain.

It was a pleasure to meet you and the other deviants.

The weather held out of the most part. At least we didn't have to shoot bagged targets. Lots of fun stages and great helpful squad 5.

 

[EddieA]

Shot this match today and had a great time. Well run and a very friendly, helpful crew.

This was the first USPSA match I've been to and I had a great time, thanks to the ROs.

 

[BostonBullit]

Wow! 89 shooters came out in defiance of that BULLY Mother Nature and shot with us today. It was a great match, good to see so many new shooters out there enjoying our sport. Thanks to all who picked up brass, helped break down the stages, and put in the work throughout the day that's needed to keep a local match running.

Scores are up at both https://practiscore.com/results/19628 and uspsa.org; if there are scoring issues please e-mail hopkintonuspsa at gmail.com and we'll get them squared away.

For our PCC folks please note that I'm maintaining two sets of scores, Practiscore will have your results but uspsa.org will not because they don't support the division until July.

It was a very fun match.

I'm editing mine now

 

[hedgehound]

Great match

A lot of thanks to Hopkinton folks! It was great match, I enjoyed shooting it with the great crowd.

It was interesting to see the PCC too.

 

[Glock-Girl]

Great time today. First time shooting USPSA AND I shot PCC. Thank you to the RO's and squad 5 who continued to teach me things throughout the entire day. What an experience!

The hubs has created a monster when he thought I'd just "tag along for fun".... Time to upgrade that trigger next.... Ohhh and a compensator.... {evil grin}

Lots to learn, lots to learn. I obviously love the addition of PCC's to USPSA and I think it will bring in new shooters (it already has). Mike you did a great job RSO'ing me today: I appreciate your calm & friendly demeanor bc I was nervous as ****. I thought the match went very smoothly and people did not seem freaked out by the PCC's as much as I expected. I'm sure there will be more to come.

I had a great time today. Great bunch of folks on squad #2 especially. Thanks to everyone who put this together at Hopkinton. I hope to join the club soon and help out.

89!?!?!?! Holy crap!

PCC is a great addition to the sport. It will open it up to rifle shooters who aren't as much into pistols. Buying or building a PCC isn't much if you don't go crazy.

 

[shanef]

For my first stage I felt I was shooting a bolt action - bang, click, rack and REPEAT.... After that, backup open gun worked fine and all other issues where "operator issues"

 

[BostonBullit]

Veeeeedeeeeeohz!



Squad 2 did great all day! We had a lot of new(ish) shooters and everyone pitched in to keep things humming along. Thanks to Jack for brining the sorting trays and everyone on the squad for keeping them filled all day, it helps with the general membership if we don't leave a layer of brass over the whole range!
