Hello Shooters,

3 Gun – This Saturday

5 stages as usual. Trying to keep the stage size manageable with the heat and rain. Normal 100 rifle, 100 pistol, 50 bird, 5 slug should do ya. I didn’t do a hard count but we may be a little heavier on bird than normal. Also going to 625 with the rifle this month but imma let you go prone for that one.

DPL – This Saturday

5 stages. 50 rounds will do ya. Have disappearing targets, swinging targets, steel targets, shooting on the move, shooting from a car and from a school bus. Should be fun.

Steel Challenge

Practice match on for tomorrow.

Sanctioned Aug 3 match is on

August practice matches (thurs) are on

Scattergun Challenge

August 25 – Info on MatchSignUp.org

PCC Palooza

August 24 – Info on MatchSignUp.org It’s pretty much full however.

The Monster Match

Oct 18-20. It’s On, I just have to get updated info out

Schedule will start to get weird Sept through Nov with all the major matches coming in. I will update the calendar on our website this week as best I can but you can always rely on these emails and if you’re a facebooker I update that more frequently as it’s just easier to do.

Hope to see you out here on the range!

Hello Shooters,

Just finished up the US IPSC Nationals this weekend, it went off without a hitch. Great time was had by all. Hope you didn’t miss it.

MULTI GUN

This Saturday. It was brought to my attention I had the wrong date on the website listing the match as Sunday. That was a mistake….it is the Saturday as always for multigun.

Should have some cool stages as we have all the stages from US IPSC still up plus I have a cool idea for the Tac Bay.

Will be some transitioning around the range as I plan to use all of it but I’ll keep the stages fast and furious to beat the summer heat.

Steel Challenge

As you probably know we’ve been doing SC every Thursday. We will only have 3 maybe 4 stages available this Thursday due to the IPSC stages still being up and my desire to use them for this Saturday’s other matches. Next week we will be back on our normal schedule. Half price if you want to come out this week and shoot what we have.

Hope you’re having a great summer and staying cool mon……

Hello Shooters,

Wow…what a year so far. 5 major championships at USA just this year. It has been quite a toll on us, but thats what we do. Looking forward to the summer and a bit more of a ‘normal’ schedule with the local matches. As always, thank you for your support of USA. Although we do it for you….we couldn’t do it without you. Also special thanks to Duane and Andy for picking up my slack while I’ve been occupied with major matches. Lots of info in this update.

Need to have at least one person with you. But usually there is a morning group that starts around 10 and another afternoon group after lunch.

The Monster Match is on for this year. Oct 27-29

International Revolver Championship is back this year. Nov 3-5

If you need to respond or reach me please start a new email to: SmittyFL@Gmail.com. Do not reply to this email, I get way to many bounces to sift through.

Thanks and I’ll see you on the range.

Jan 3 Gun / DPL

January 23, 2016

Scores are up from today for both matches. Thanks to everyone for the support, great turnout. We’ll keep DPL as scheduled for next month but had some talk today about moving it to the 4th Saturday and keeping it in conjunction with 3 gun. Some of us 3 gunners shot DPL afterwards and we had a great time. Interested in what the DPL’ers would think about moving to the 4th Saturday. Let me know.

Local 3 Gun will be off for next month due to 3GN coming in but I’ll update here and the email list.

DPL

DPL is back!! Not on it’s normal day, we’ll be doing it the 23rd as well along with the 3 gun match. Will explain later but you may shoot both if you like. If you haven’t tried our Defensive Pistol League, it’s a great opportunity to try out your real gun with your real gear.

USADPL Match

Results from todays match are posted. Great turnout!! Thanks for spreading the word. Love seeing all the newer shooters and introducing them to the sport as well as giving them the opportunity to try out their real gear.

You’ll notice I posted the results by Division as well as overall combined. I encourage the open carry folks and the folks practicing their competition set ups but don’t want the Legit Carry folks to feel left out. So this way you can see how you stacked up against those shooting the same gear as well as everyone else.

Thanks for coming out! Keep spreading the word and we’ll see you next month!!

USADPL

February 6, 2015

Got the stages finalized for the first USADPL. 63 max rounds required with 7 courses of fire. Most are short 5-7 rounders with one 14 and one 17 round stage. Remember though it’s 1 center hit OR 2 hits anywhere on target. For example the gun I’m using has a 6 round mag plus one in the chamber and I have one spare 6 round mag. So I’m only going in with 13 rounds max. So for the 17 round stage I will have to take a few targets with only one shot….and make it count.

On that stage for example there are 8 paper targets and 1 steel. So even with a 5 shot revolver and one reload you would have enough rounds.

Hi Gang,

Lots of exciting stuff coming in the next couple weeks!!

USADPL

Our first go at Universal Shooting Academy Defensive Pistol League will be this Saturday the 7th. You can find more about it on the website. Normal 8:30 sign up and 9:30 walkthrough. If you are new to competition and can be there at 8:15 or so I’ll have a short tutorial of what is going to happen. I also plan to have a squad of the “newer shooters” which I’ll run with and help you along. I’m looking at 6-7 stages of fire. Round count will be under 100 for sure and probably closer to 50. Bring whatever you want to shoot, we’ll find a place for you. I’ve already had a couple questions that don’t fit in my divisions….things I didn’t think about. But we’ll make it work together. I’m excited for the event. I’ll be running the new G42 with IWB Blade Tech holster and one spare mag.

When: Sat. Feb 7

Registration: 8:30

Walkthrough: 9:30

Fee: FREE! It’s like crack….first hit is on me.

USPSA

Sunday is our normal USPSA day. This month is a double whammy, a classifier match and our Central Florida Section Slot Series match. We will have 5 maybe 6 classifiers plus at least one field course….probably from the State Match. Follow us on social media to find out what classifiers will be shot. (I don’t know yet so don’t ask, it’s only Wednesday after all!)

IF YOU ARE ENTERING THE SLOT SERIES and you are coming in under my club you need to inform me in writing. (email is fine) Just “yo dude, I’m in the slot series” will do.

When: Sunday the 8th

Registration: 8:30

Walkthrough: 9:30

Fee: $25

PRACTICE

Practice will be available after the USPSA match on Sunday. There will NOT BE practice on Saturday after the USADPL match. We may implement that in the future but not this one. Most areas will be open but not the FL Open stages which will be set up.

Fee: $10

Time: End of match until 5pm or I run out of Yuengling whichever comes first.

FLORIDA OPEN

The following weekend. Match is almost full but there is still some room. Guns for all class winners with participation. One of the most challenging matches of the year. I wouldn’t miss it.

AREA 6 MULTIGUN

Devil Dog Arms has signed on as the main match sponsor. Match is filling nicely. 3 Gun is gaining in popularity like crazy. Get on the train!! We are doing more and more 3 gun classes as well so we can train you up if need be.

LOCAL 3 GUN

Will be on for this month. It is the week prior to the A6MG match. I’ve had some folks ask if we’ll be doing it or not. So just to clarify, the match is ON.
