KSTG at NRA Cancelled for May 27th

[KevinB]

Well since no one called me, and I did not see it posted, I figured I would tell folks here.

Yeah it is cancelled -- I called a few min to try to change my time slot, and was told, "Oh yeah, that match is cancelled".

If anyone needs to scratch their shooting itch, I am hosting an IDPA match and BUG (Back Up Gun Match) at Thurmont, MD May 31. It will be about 130 rounds for regular match and about 100 rounds BUG match, but bring extra ammo just in case I adjust the stages. Here is the match listing. Go to Shootnscoreit.com to register.

We will be hosting a Saturday IDPA Match with 6 stages and a BUG side match. Your BUG gun barrel must be less than 3.8 inches. You do not need a holster for the BUG gun but you may use one.

I did get a call, thanks to the wonderful lady who works the desk for many of these issues. However, went to my voice mail so I didn't have a chance to ask why.

Sorry it did not happen (especially since I was actually in country for this one, something that is not always assured.) I hope this is not a harbringer of future decline in the match (or displacement by the USPSA match).

I know how hard these are to set up and keep going. I respect the staff immensely for the effort involved, and I know that keeping this up whilst Todd has been away was also not an easy thing.

Fingers crossed for many more great matches in the coming months...
