View Full Version : IPSC at Whistling Pines?
According to the ECO USPSA website, Whistling Pines plans to hold an IPSC match on Nov. 5. I've also been told that they'll be doing weekly or bi-weekly IPSC matches. Does anyone know anything about this? Are they planning on organizing these on a regular basis?
Whistling Pines matches are on the first and third mondays of the month, get there by 6:30pm and your good to go.
look 3 posts down under indoor matches. info is there.
Justin, see you Monday night.
<Napoleon Dynamite>Yes!</Napoleon Dynamite>
See you guys tonight. Rumor has it that there will be a Rhodesian wall of some sort... Old time IPSC baby.

must one have a current IPSC membership to participate?
Are you scoring major and minor?
Do scores get turned in/classifiers run?
Pistol only?
Inquiring minds want to know [UZI]

Don't have to be a USPSA or IPSC member. But must have taken the safety class, or have taken an IDPA safety class, or have completed one action shooting match before.
There is not a chronograph, you shoot the power factor you declare (major or minor).
We will shoot a classifier on Dec 3rd as we do every match on the first monday of the month, those scores are turned into USPSA.
Pistols only. Although there are clubs that run rifle, shotgun and multigun matches elsewhere in the state.
Inquiring minds want to know
See you tomorrow night Leo. I get there around 5:00-5:30 to start setting up.

Thanks - I'm supposed to take a 'hider that just moved to town down to the south range at 2P; we'll see when I get back. If in time, I'll come help set up.
27 people last night. A new record.
Lets see, there was rtr, eerw, tc, NineHotel, CareyH, Justin and of course AR Will who showed up with 3 pizzas in hand. Will is the man.
Did I miss anyone?

Just couldn't make it (with the rain and all)
This week's match was one of the best so far. The stage with the lateral movement was great.
Click for YouTube link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zAs02n0dRA)
Thanks to Leo for shooting the video.
You can hear it better in person, but I also notice it on the video. How come you have a round every once in awhile that sounds much different than the rest of them? Seems like it's a lower sound, less of a crack to it.
Justin..
you're looking good...
sorry I missed that last stage..but sick kids call...
Thanks!
As to your leaving early, I appreciate it. Wouldn't have won production, otherwise.
[Beer]
In all seriousness, I hope they get better soon!
RTR-
Not sure what you're talking about. Watched the video several times, and couldn't tell a difference?
All is set to go for yet another match this Monday night.
Leave the excuses at home and get out there. The hardest part is showing up. After that, its easy.

You're welcome Justin. That was a GREAT run!
I will see everyone monday night!
I spent some time this afternoon making some more shooting boxes and a Bianchi Barricade.
One more peice of the puzzle out of the way. Now to make some wall legs out of PVC so I dont smack myself in the nugget again...
See you guys tomorrow.

Umm..Yeah, you did'nt come in dead last cause I was there.
Glad to see a couple of new faces out there, Ryan50BMG and his friend. Hope to see some more of you coarfcommers at the next match. Hoser has figured out how to make some kickass indoor stages.
Even when I come in last, I always have fun and usually learn a thing or two.

[QUOTE=RYAN50BMG;79299]Umm..Yeah, you did'nt come in dead last cause I was there.[/QUOTE At least we can't get any worse. No where to go but up.
That's how to look at it.
Best advice I ever received:
"If you want to learn to shoot better, shoot with people who are better than you."

When is the next match... Or as I like to say "The next learning experience".
Next match is January 7, 2008. Matches are always on the first and third monday of the month.

Introduction to USPSA Shooting, 4:30 p.m...this Sunday..at the gun club
so if you wanted to try this out..take the class on Sunday and shoot the match Monday..
hope to see everyone out there tonite. dont be scared of the snow!
Carey
another fun one...
great stages by Tom and Chris..thanks guys..
and thanks to Will for bringing the pizza..great to be indoors shooting on a snowy blustery evening..
big turnout last nite. I didnt think anyone would show up with all the snow. I had a great time last nite!
Carey
It was nice to see all those people show up. When rtr, Shrapmetal and I were the only ones there setting up I was thinking it was going to be a 3 person match.
Next thing you know there is 25-ish people there.
Too bad it quit snowing... I shoveled the driveway when I got home and it was still clean this morning when I left for work. I was hoping to tunnel out or be snowed in.
When I left my house for the match I thought to myself "How cool that I can go shoot a match when it's snowing outside". I figured we wouldn't have many people show up, but we had the same amount we've had for the most recent few matches (about 25).
great stages by Tom and Chris
Tom gets all the credit I just do what he tells me. I think Tom has definitely raised the bar for indoor match stages.
that second stage was coooool!
I cant wait till they open up the other side. aka the tactical range :)

However, without help I wouldnt do any of it.

i had a blast too. im loving the set ups with the walls. ill check and see how much pipe i have that i can donate so we can make some more.
i was thinking it might end up being just a few of us too, i figured we could just shoot 30 stages if noone else came. it seemed to me like there were a bunch of new faces last night. great time as always.
its that time again! see you all tomorrow nite!
Carey
another great one..huge crowd too..good to see everyone..wish I could have stayed till the end..
Definitely an awesome match. We had a lot of folks show up early for setup which is much appreciated.
Justin took some video of me shooting the low light stage, can't wait to see the flame action when he posts it.

One of these days, I'm going to remember about this match.
Somehow I keep forgetting between when I get the reminder on Friday and the match happens on Monday night.
Mike
Michael, it was also a comfortable temperature in the range, no cold and not too warm.
Put it on your calendar, next match is February 4.
Hey guys-
New vids are up here (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=snarkvalid).
Hopefully Stuart wont mind me posting this still he captured from the video, pretty cool.

I'm already watching the Pueblo West forecast for this weekend. Not that the forecast seems to ever have much bearing on reality...

Saw a 3-gun and an IPSC match both this weekend. Never done a 3-gun, what're those all about?

IPSC using pistol, rifle and shotgun. Lots of steel. Good times. Funner than IPSC and IDPA.
DeltaKilo
01-24-2008, 09:00
guess I'll be hitting the 3-gun this weekend.
This Monday nights (4 Feb) match will have a classifier and another stage with plenty of walls.
Plan on shooting the QCB stage before the classifier to get you warmed up.
Set up begins around 5:15, sign-up around 6:30 and shooting starts at 7:00. The plan being getting you on the road by 9:00-9:30.
see everyone tomorrow nite.
Looks like there may be snow tomorrow PM. If things get too ugly I may cancel the match. If I'm going to cancel I will post a message here and to the WPGC results email list stating so by 4pm.
cant be any worse than last time.

I finally -- first time -- remembered that there's a match today.
Remembered in time to actually even attend.
But I'm probably not going to make this one.
Figures.
Mike
Well it was a fun match, 3 stages. Turnout was a bit low, I guess because folks heard I was running the match. Fortunately Hoser will be back for the next one so come on out.
Here are some videos from last nights match.

In my defense, I did run down to PWSA and shoot some rifle / carbine for a while this afternoon. Also picked up Grace's S&W 640 CCW.

31 people tonight. Lots of fun. I think thats the most we have had yet.
The first stage was a long QCB one with lots of shooting. The second looked easy and it looked like going fast would be easy....
Hope to see everyone again in two weeks.

If nothing else I'd like to check the place out. I don't think I've ever shot on an indoor range.

Woot, this will be my first time at a IPSC. I might be a little late, class ends at 6:45pm and may take 20mins to get up to Platte. (hope its still ok to come a little late Hoser, I know we talked about it a bit a little bit last month at the shop. Just making sure its still alright) [Beer]
Also I have:
Handgun
Pistol Holster and Ammo Pouches
3 16round mags
200 9mm Rounds
Is that good enough or will i need more?

Thx guys it was fun, glad I got the first time Jitters out, now I know what to expect from IPSC. Kinda mad that I didn't do as well as I know I can do. (Damn Hostage, Learn to duck and fall when shots are being fired around you [Rant1]). Next time I need to just mentally block out that theres a clock behind my head, and hit the target where i'm aiming, lol.
And sorry had to split early after the 2nd round. The GF was Messaging me evil and bad things on my phone if i didn't come home, lol. I'll drop by WPGC tomorow to check out my score.[Pepsi]
Another great match..
thanks Hoser and RTR..and all those that help set up and run the match. You are all a phenomenal bunch. 30 shooters..this thing is just growing and growing. hard to keep a good thing a secret.
Appreciate you guys letting me get home to put the little ones to bed.
39 shooters last night. Crazy.
Thats a lot of people to run through two stages, so we ended up running late.
But we got it done and nobody left with any band-aids.
Good match! Thanks to RTR and Hoser for running it.
I cleaned up on the first stage. The classifier, though, was not nearly so good to me. Dadgum no shoots.
shrapmetal
03-04-2008, 13:05
great time as always! don't worry about that hostage. my first time out i shot 5 out of 6 of them.
We had lots of shooters, two fun stages (even the classifier was fun), and there weren't any requirements of starting with your hands in water or picking any silly colors.
Hope to see a lot of you in two weeks for the next match.

Sounds like fun guys, I am gonna have to come to one of these. When is the next one? Monday the 17th? Whistling Pines members only? What all should I bring? Also, what time should I be there if it's my first time? Any input appreciated... [AR15]
When is the next one? Monday the 17th? Whistling Pines members only? What all should I bring? Also, what time should I be there if it's my first time? Any input appreciated...
Next match is Monday the 17th of March. Open to anyone, not just for WPGC members. You should bring a pistol in 9mm or larger caliber, a holster for said pistol, as many magazines as you own for said pistol, 150 rounds of ammo for said pistol, magazine holders if you have them. You should arrive by 6:15 or so.
You need to complete a USPSA/IPSC safety course before shooting your first match. It's not horribly difficult or long or anything. If you haven't taken this course, OR taken an IDPA safety course please PM me and I'll give you the details.
shrapmetal
03-11-2008, 10:30
i cant wait for the day that i need 150 rounds of ammo.
I'm too lazy to read through 10 pages of posts...what's the cost for this, and how many stages are there? Is there always a classifier?
I hope to show up for the next one, which I guess is the 17th.
Cost is $10 if you join the WPGC IPSC club (cost is IIRC $35/year), or $15 for non IPSC club members (you can join at the match if you like).
Shooters meeting is around 6:45, setup starts about 5:15. Two stages for EVERY match. First monday of the month includes a classifier, third monday of the month no classifier but still two stages.

There are some missing scoresheets from the last match, they are white sheets that say "On The Move" at the top. If you have them or know where they are please PM me, thanks.

150-200 rounds is a default recommendation for any and all IPSC/IDPA indoor/outdoor matches in Colorado. That way people always show up with enough.
I always bring twice as much as I might need if everything goes as planned.
When we get the other bay built, four stages for a match will be the norm. Sometimes there will be five. And if there isnt many people and those that are there work fast, 6 stages is a possibility.
