Eastern Colorado IDPA - @ Colorado Rifle Club, 4th Sat of the month.

[MarkCO]

When I shot IDPA, I wore a Sweatshirt or a Windshirt, which is what I actually wear on an almost daily basis in the winter. You can find inexpensive, loose fitting short sleeved warm up covers with back and underarm vents (baseball) at the used sports stores for like $10.

If you have not shot out at CRC when the wind blows, you might want to toss a gun cover and sand goggles in your range bag. They became permanent additions to mine after my first sandstorm out there.

I've been shooting at CRC for four or five years now so I am well aware of the potential for wind and dust.

As far as cover garments, maybe for this coming event I'll toss on a large, button down denim shirt and wear it unbuttoned like a jacket. Seems the trap vest I intended on using probably isn't going to work out very well.

I always just leave my shirt untucked.

I always just leave my shirt untucked.

That's kind of how I roll on a daily basis.

Sometimes it's nice to be blue collar.

Damn straight.

Got my pistol all tuned up and ready to go. Need to go through my range bag and make sure the holster is in there somewhere. Trying to decide if I want to hunt for my mag carriers or just buy new ones.

Yeah if forecast stays the same, we may cancel again, 20 mph winds forecasted so far, and even though I love shooting, that is no fun.

[Vanniek71]

FYI, the mesh vest I speak of is a trap vest. It actually has shell pockets on the lower portion. I'll have to get it out and check but I bet it will actually conceal a weapon rather well.

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

I run a cheesy fishing vest....and I wear plaid pants, so bring what works heh

[Irving]

I forgot to mention that I run out of an in the waist band holster, so my untucked shirt method is likely not as effectice for owb holster users.

Hey all,

It's that time again for ECOIDPA at CRC, unfortunately its also taht time again for weather to be uncooperative. Forecast is saying 48 degrees, but with 25mph winds, which for a match is no good.

Going to wait to check forecast Friday and will make the call on the match then. Stay tuned, and we'll let you know ASAP.

Thanks

As always: If the match is cancelled it will be posted here, on the website as well as on the ECOIDPA facebook page.

Note some changes in the scheduling, make sure you don't miss out!

The new shooters meeting is pretty extensive to give the new IDPA shooters as much information as we can, so that's taking about 45 mins to cover. As a result we're bumping the new shooter meeting forward to 8:45am. New shooters please arrive prior to 8:30 for registration. Registration will close and the pre-match shooters meeting will be begin at 9:30am with the match start at 10am as normal. Below are the updated times that have been placed on the website.
