This weekend May 20th, we will have our Multi-gun Match with registration beginning at 0800 and shooting by 0900.  We need everyone to be prompt and ready to shoot by 0900.  We will also need help with setup on Saturday so all of you that can come out, please show up around noon and we will get started.  The match will consist of 5 stages, approximately 294 rounds broken down as follows: 134 rifle, 88 shot, 68 pistol, 4 slugs.  These numbers are approximate so be sure to bring enough ammo!  We did not publish the stage diagrams this year due to time constraints (this means that I didn't have time to get it done :-)) so you will show up to a surprise match!  See you all on Saturday for setup.  

Another great turnout for the match today.  I did not attend this one but the weather was great so I am reasonably certain everyone had a good time.  I was not sure that the big numbers of shooters would continue past the first couple of matches (based on many years of past experience), but it appears I may have been wrong.  The club is at an all time high for membership and participation in the matches, something that amazes me.  I had always assumed that shooting and gun ownership would decline over my lifetime, as the battle would be lost with the anti-gun forces.  I am happy to be wrong on this too!

From Scott Bair:

We had a great match today. Over 60 souls braved rain, hail and wind to shoot at steel targets that sometimes seemed to move. While the weather was poor, it always seemed to clear momentarily for some shooters. We had a great mix of veteran shooters as well as new competitors.

By the way, the sun did start to shine – as soon as the stages were taken down!

Beginning with the 2011 season, I will keep the match results available on the site for future use by match participants.  I occasionally get requests for results from previous years so........going forward I wll keep the results available on the website.  When you go to the "Match Results" page you will see links to the individual years that will take you to the results.  Hopefully this works for everyone, if not please let me know what would be better and I will implement it.  Thanks.

Paul and Gary have put together an article that covers the basics of getting started in practical shooting with the BSPSC.  I have put a link in the "For More Information" module in the left hand column of the website. This article will help new shooters understand what equipment is required and how to get involved with the club.  Each year we try to reach out to as many new shooters as possible, and this is another way that we can answer some of the common questions that arise.
