MATCH INTENT: Test equipment realistically used for home defense, self defense or law enforcement in challenging low light conditions.
(If the intent is too boring for you then bring your open division 2011 with 30 round mags. Intent is not a mandate, it’s just why we started doing this.)
RULES: This match will follow USPSA safety and scoring rules. Guns will be kept cold and holstered or cased except when firing. Holsters must permit drawing the handgun without sweeping yourself or other competitors.
WEATHER: Cold or a little snow on the ground will not affect the match. Heavy rain, ice, snow or unsafe driving conditions will postpone the match to Jan 18th. The range is on a dirt road that is not plowed. If in doubt text the promoter (his cell phone will be given to registered competitors).
EQUIPMENT: Handguns will have two divisions; Weapon mounted and Handheld. Holsters must not break 180 degrees. Optics, white light, night vision and lasers are allowed.
SAFETY: All guns must be empty and cased when you arrive. Guns will be kept cold until you are on the line. No gun handling unless you are on the line or in the designated safety area.
WHO CAN ENTER: Shooting at night while moving around barricades can be dangerous. You will have to shoot from awkward positions and while on the move. This match is only open to shooters with experience in dynamic shooting.
Entrants must have shot at least 4 USPSA/IDPA, etc. matches OR be Law Enforcement or Military OR have attended professional training OR have a shooter the match director knows vouch for you.
If you want to enter but aren’t sure contact the match director in advance to discuss your qualifications.
STAGE BASICS: Shooters will engage targets from routine and unusual positions around barricades and through shooting ports. Distances vary from three to thirty yards. There will be four stages with approximately 120 rounds total fired.
Other: Bring a low power headlamp or handheld for administrative tasks. There is no available artificial light on the range.
