New Shooting Discipline
There is a local indoor range opening soon and they will have monthly pistol matches. I have been asked to run them, pending final agreements.
Here's what I'm thinking about doing:
IPSC rules with IDPA-type scoring. I'd like to change the 1/2 second added per point down to .20 seconds added. This would still reward accuracy while not requiring one to "slow down" to get a better score once the points down are added up. It's much easier to understand and implement this type of scoring. No software required. All penalties (no-shoots, misses, procedurals) are 10 seconds each.
No "competition only" guns allowed. Open class guns can shoot elsewhere. Likewise, if you have a mongo magwell on your LHDC STI, leave it at home and bring out the nightstand or carry gun.
Practical carry gear encouraged, but not required (yet) Two mags on the belt will allow you to complete each stage.
The divisions are "Low Cap" where the max number of rounds in the mag is NINE.
The "High Cap" division is with 10 rds in the mag and up. This means you can load up your G-17 to capacity!
"Revolver" division is self explanatory. Moonclips and speedloaders compete together. Shoot up to an 8 3/8th's" barrel.
And "LCD" division for the Lasers, Dots (like the slide mounted Optima) and Compensated pistols (like the Glock "C" models and the "V" models from Springfield)
All calibers compete together in their respective divisions.
This will give everyone a chance to shoot a gun not normally used for matches, which is the main idea behind the matches.
Comments or thoughts would be appreciated!
