Feb 22nd match cancelled.
Hate to do it, but forecast has changed again and none so far have been favorable. It's now chance of rain and 20-25mph winds which makes a day on the range not so fun.
We will see you next month, hopefully with better weather

Cancel and it's nice out...Colorado you take take your weather and shove it ......
So, is next Saturday the day? The 22nd?
I haven't fired a round in competition of any type in over 15 years. Maybe a bit longer. Thought I might come out and give it a go.
I did have a couple of questions since the last time I shot IDPA was in probably in 1998.
First, about how many rounds of ammo do I need to bring to get through the match?
Second, I don't like being too hot so, depending on the temps that day, would using some sort of a mesh type vest for a cover garment be acceptable?
Finally, would one of you be willing to loan me a couple of mag pouches suitable for Sig P229 magazines?
Thanks.

I dont know about the mesh covering for concealment so I will let someone else answer that but I'm assuming its probably okay.
Swing by Sportsmans Warehouse on 84th and grab a double mag carrier from Uncle Mikes, they had 3 of them when I was there Thursday and they are $19.99
I have some somewhere around here so I hate to buy more. Just not sure if I can find them before next Saturday. Lol.Quote:

For some stages you wont even need it.
I don't have any 226 mag pouches sorry.
Temp looks good for next weekend 59... wind looks like the suck though... 19mph. Hopefully that mellows!
With the 2013 rules change, it requires all stages to start as concealed unless otherwise stipulated. A cover garment that does not conceal would not be allowed as per the rules.
Just a reminder, CRC has a cold range policy, so you have to have magwell and chamber(s) empty until you are on the line under the control of the SO. That includes during set-up.
The called the SC match after 2 stages yesterday. I sat in a van with 3 friends waiting for it to subside after we had set up a practice stage for 3Gun. Never got stage run in. YUK.Quote:

I might just look a bit silly since most of you probably wear some sort of "photographer's vest" of some sort.
