Hello Universal Family,

I hope you all had a great Christmas/New Year break! We are very excited to have you back at Universal for a bigger and better year in 2022!

Here is your calendar for January:

Reminder that the Florida Open is coming up next month. Registration for that match can be found HERE.

Happy shooting,

Billy Hicks

Yearly membership to the range is available in 3-month intervals priced at $100 a month (30 days per month). No membership expiry date shall surpass December 31st, 2022, therefore, as each 3-month interval becomes unavailable for the current calendar year, additional +1 month options will become available at the same rate in order to allow your membership to finish in December.

Upon registration, you will receive a membership card in which you will be required to bring on any visit to the range in order to access Member privileges.

Membership includes:

• FREE access to Competitive Shooting Bays, Tac Bay, and Rifle Range during open range hours (Thu-Sun: 9am – 5pm).
• FREE Steel Challenge Matches.
• 30% off Universal Shooting Academy Merchandise.

Range open hours will be effected by major matches held at the range. All matches are displayed on our calendar, and any changes in range availability will be documented on the News Feed and emailed to our email list (contact us if you wish to join the email list).

For Rifle Range use, please contact ahead of time to ensure there is no collision of members attempting to use the range. We will happily allot a time for you to come and enjoy the facility at your own leisure. We are not responsible for turning down access to the Rifle Range IF there is a member currently occupying the range.

Hello Race Fans,

MG
Registration: 0845
Fee: $20
We won’t have a meeting this match. After registering report to your stage and the tablet will be dropped off after registration and syncing. First shots 0930. I have a class and will not be participating, Joe Easter has volunteered to act as Range Master. Should there be any questions, scoring, procedure, whatever he’s your man. I’ll be on property and can help should there be anything he can’t handle which isn’t likely. Dude can hit 600 yard targets with iron sights. Thanks Joe. 

DPL
Registration: 0900
Walkthrough: 0930 @ Stage 5
Fee: $20
Roy Tyler will be acting as Range Master for DPL. I have a class. We’ll do a short meeting so I can splain a couple things. 

I’m hosting a Gunshot, Trauma, medical class thing at our range October 4. You can see the event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/2603978546508412/?acontext=%7B%22action_history%22%3A[%7B%22surface%22%3A%22page%22%2C%22mechanism%22%3A%22page_admin_bar%22%2C%22extra_data%22%3A%22%7B%5C%22page_id%5C%22%3A136506786447641%7D%22%7D%2C%7B%22surface%22%3A%22events_admin_tool%22%2C%22mechanism%22%3A%22events_admin_tool%22%2C%22extra_data%22%3A%22[]%22%7D]%2C%22has_source%22%3Atrue%7D
Damn….that’s a long link, sorry. lol

Thats slightly better. 
Course put on by Franklin Riddle. I’ll be taking it as well, I’m looking forward to some updated information. I’m long overdue. There are only 10 slots for the class. If you’re interested sign up soon. Fee is $105 I think. 

PCC Palooza and Scattergun are open for registration on Practiscore. 

USPSA Factory and Racegun Nationals are open. You shouldn’t miss that. If you’re in earshot of me you don’t know how lucky you are to have so many National Championships in your back yard. You should take advantage. 

Monster, State and the Open will be opening soon for registration. Hard to believe we’re back in the cycle again. 

Also happy to have the IDPA State Championship resurrected and coming to our place in January. 

As always, thanks for your support of the sport and USA. 

Both open for registration on Practiscore.

PCC – Sept. 19
Scattergun – Sept. 20

Check USA’s facebook and event pages for updates. Registered shooters will receive email updates as well. Those emails will be posted here.

As of this week we are moving back to our normal range hours of Thursday to Sunday 9-5. Also as normal if you are a competitive member you can coordinate for use during other times. Thanks for your support through this and we are happy to be back to somewhat normal.
