Aurora IPSC

[Hoser]

OK, I read...well skimmed through the USPSA rules. I have a few questions that I hope I can get answered here rather than attending the safety class. I am an FRIDPA member and RSO.

1. Holster requirements - I found nothing in the appendix E3 regarding IWB holsters and positions thereof. Mine typically rides about 3:30 - 4:30. IWB OK?

2. Is the AGC IPSC a bit relaxed on the official rules like the FRIDPA? - READ "Close enough" and no need to get my ammo/weapon crono'd before I shoot.

3. I will be shooting my new FNP .40. Sign up in Open (10 round mag loadouts - I only have 3) or Limited Major?

4. Any special rules that AGC has other than the typical cold range? I.E. - "Safe Direction" for reload and such is down range horizontal +/- 10* and the 180* left/right. (IDPA habits will force that anyways)

5. Discount on entry fee for assisting with setup/tear down?

6. As a non AGC and USPSA member, will I be allowed to shoot? (If yes, I may bring a buddy)

Anything else I need to know, or attend the safety meeting anyways.

I can assist as an RSO if needed, just will need a quick briefing on the particulars.

TIA!

1. IWB holsters are fine. As long as a holster holds the pistol securely and covers the trigger guard, it is legal.

2. Rules are rules. However, we do not chrono ammo at local matches. We take your word for it that you are meeting the power factor you declared.

3. Limited or Limited-10 will be just fine. Both scored as major. Or download it to 10 rounds and shoot production division. Basically SSP.

4. Nothing strange. Dont break the 180 and you are fine.

5. Usually the MD will hand you a $5 off card, but its not a for sure thing.

6. Yes, anyone can shoot a USPSA/IPSC match.

Remember, these matches are run under USPSA rules which are a touch different from IPSC (International) rules. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find a true IPSC match in the USA.

I was there. This was my first event. I am hooked. But I left early as well. Too cold. I should have prepared better for the cold like long johns, hand warmers, hot liquids, etc. I will better prepar next time.

do you guys think I would be able to complete a match with a stock glock 17, holster, mag pouch, and 3 mags? or should I hold off until I get more equipment? I think im cutting it tight with only 3, but if it is still possible to compete, I will.

you could shoot Limited Division and score minor..that way you could load up your mags and should be able to shoot any course of fire.
to shoot production..you would only need to get 2 or 3 more mags.

[leatherneck448]

limited minor. So that basically means that I can survive any course of fire with only 3 full 17rd mags, correct?

why does production require so many mags?
