Range got about 4" of rain last night and its currently raining out there now. Guess its a muddy mess as well, so we are going to cancel the match for tomorrow (5/28/16) We will hopefully get back out there next month!

This months match is a No Go, we have American Marksman Regionals on the range that day and they will be utilizing all the berms. We will be back on for July.
After couple rain outs and bump for regional match, looks like good to go for regular club match this Saturday.
5 stages of IDPA fun with $5 challenge stage too.
Come out and shoot on the COAR15 kool kidz squad.

Haha you just beat me! Here is the official email blast:
Keep your fingers crossed, but it looks like we'll actually get to have a match this Saturday the 23rd!
We have 5 awesome stages planned and we'll have a $5 challenge stage afterwards (depending on interest).
As usual the details are here: - And remember if you show up to help with setup, not only do you get a peek at the stages, you also save $5 bucks!

Sweet. Only a little more than half way through the year and I might make it out to my first match.
Bump to encourage those who have not yet participated in match competition.
I will cover entry fee for 2 folks new to competition. Must arrive before 8:30 and find me to attend new shooters meeting. Or PM me here to get set up to participate.

The Arvada gun club launched their own IDPA and is on the same weekend in case anyone wants to shoot that one.
I might be up for that.Quote:

Here is a link to the registration page, which can be accessed from the calendar page.

Set-up at 7, new shooters meeting at 8, first shots at 9. 4 stages, 120 rounds max.
Sunday? I'm out. Sunday is family motorcycle ride day.
It sailed before we posted cancel. At best would have been only 2 RO's and 2nd RO was not a guarantee.Quote:

Especially if it means fewer match cancellations.
Saturday match cancelled. Still short SO/RO'S.
Working on putting together cert class for SO's.

Sorry we had to cancel again all, we can't run an unsafe match. Please see below and if you are interested get in touch!
All,
If you have an interest in IDPA and would like to see the Eastern Colorado IDPA continue, we need your help!
Due to scheduling during the summer months we have been coming up short on RO's for the match. Instead of running a sub-par unsafe match we are forced to cancel when we are short. So we are putting out a call for people that would like to help - We need RO's! We can arrange the certification class and host it, we just need people to train.
What's in it for you? When you RO a match at ECOIDPA you shoot for free....that's right, you save $20 every time you RO!
Please if you are interested contact us at ECOIDPAinfo@gmail.com
Thanks
ECOIDPA
What are the requirements?

Hey everybody, the match is a GO for this weekend. It's shaping up to be a beautiful day for shooting. We have some great stages planned, so come on out. New shooters welcome! Note: we will be setting up on the eastern berms, as the cowboy action shooters will be set up all weekend on berms 1-7. Also, if you are interested in becoming an IDPA Safety Officer, please contact us for information!

Thanks for for the concern though, we are kind of fond of it too :)
Hey all,
Its that time of year again, its warming up, we are all jonesing to sling some lead, and the 2017 competition season is getting underway!
We plan on holding the March match as long as the range is in useable condition and the weather cooperates.
Also we are rolling out a test program called ECOIDPA Express. Please see the notes on it at the bottom of this email.

ECOIDPA EXPRESS
Crunched for time but still want to shoot? We are offering a select number of spots this season as a test to see how this works.
If you want to shoot through for the match because you have A. Angry Wife/Husband that all you want to do is shoot "guns", B. have an appointment to get to, or C: are rich and money is no object... Ask about ECOIDPA Express at the match.
ECOIDPA Express - lets people pay a bit extra and allows them to shoot through the stages so they can be on their way.
What's a shoot through? - The shooter carries his/her score sheet and shoots a stage, when they are done they move to a stage they haven't shot and insert their score sheet where the RO on that stage deems its best suited....rinse and repeat.
This style allows competitors to shoot the match much faster.
Cost? $15 + Match fee
How many ECOIDPA Express Slots are available? - We are going to cap it at 5 to start and will adjust once we have some data on how it effects match flow.
How are the ECOIDPA Express Slots assigned? - First come first served - When you register for the match let the ECOIDPA staff member know you would like an Express slot, if there are any available pay the $15 (in addition to match fee) and you will be given a ECOIDPA Express score sheet instead of the standard score sheet.
What do I do with my sheet when I am done? - Leave your scoring sheet with the RO on your last stage and it will be scored with the rest of the scoring sheets
Woo hoo. Gonna be a good time.
ECOIDPA Express - $15 cost? Under the Assignment title says $10, typo?
How's the Express work?
"Ken's up; Joe's on deck; Steve is in the hole; Bob is in the deep hole....No, wait, this A-hole is 'shooting through,' so you guys can wait...and by the way, he's not taping targets and expects you mopes to pick up his brass. But hey, he paid us $15"
I guess it's like letting someone play through on the golf course. But probably more complicated.
The squad I'm usually on runs slow enough without people trying to play through.

Since we make so much on these matches as it is ($0) we figured this might be a nice way to offer our shooters better matches, BBQ's etc without charging more for match fees.
If you aren't a good enough sport to allow 1-2 people to shoot through that may have an appointment or something else going on, maybe ECOIDPA isn't for you? And if they are moping around not helping tape or brass then ECOIDPA isn't for them either. We all volunteer to do this so we can have some fun, we are trying things we haven't seen at matches before to see if we can offer more fun and possibly a better experience all around. Some stuff will work, others won't.
Also you need to look at it this way, your squad size won't change. You will likely start with 1 of the Express people on your squad, who will shoot and then leave. See it's not so bad!
And if it sucks all around after a match or two we will ditch it, like I said it's a test
Yes was a typo, thanks for pointing it outQuote:

We let people shoot through occasionally and it's no big deal. I always make sure to get their brass as well. :D
answered that one for me-thanks!Quote:
