    Match Start Time - 1:00 PM Start Time

    Marion County Fish and Game's Texas Star Match will be this Saturday, December 17th at 1 PM. Setup will begin at 12:15 PM and we would appreciate the help of a few volunteers. The Safety Meeting (required for new shooters) will be at 12:45 PM to explain the rules. At 1:00 PM, we will begin shooting.

    REMINDER: Bring work gloves for resetting targets. The steel plates are cold and often get muddy.


    If there is severe weather, the match may need to be canceled. I will try to send an e-mail and post an announcement in the Shooting Sports section of www.ingunowners.com by 11:00 AM if it is obvious the weather isn’t going to cooperate.


    The cost is $3 per bracket for club members and $4 per bracket for non-members. All money goes toward the club and/or making the competition better. Youth (under the age of 18) shoot free with a paid adult.


    Texas Star Shooting is conducted under a COLD RANGE. That means all guns must be holstered (or bagged) at all times, unloaded, hammer down, with no magazine inserted. You may only handle your gun at the direction of a range officer (RO), or at the designated "safe table". Violation of this or any other safety rule shall result in a match disqualification.


    If you have any questions about the match, please read the rules posted at: MCFG - Indy Range Official Website - Shotgun, Pistol, Shooting Range (look under "Programs and Events" > "Bowling Pins") If you are unable to find an answer posted in the rules, please feel free to e-mail me.


    If you are willing to help as an RO or help keep score, that would be greatly appreciated.


    Hope you can make it Saturday.


    ~John

    I cannot get the website to launch....

    Is this similar to FNS in that it's open to anyone? Different classes based on firearm? Running head to head against others?

    Thanks.

    If I get out of work early enough I am going to stop by...even if I miss the start might stop by to watch.

    It sounds like some good stuff.




    Looks like I can get into the website now! I'll read the info there. Thanks

    Mike,

    Although our texas star match is similar to FNS as we are using the steel texas star, the format is quite different.
    Its a modified single elimination bracket in that the second place shooters in the first round go into a second chance bracket.
    So, everyone gets to shoot at least twice per bracket.
    We usually shoot 2 or 3 brackets, sometimes more if the turnout allows.
    Two Texas Stars are set up with overlapping poppers in between,
    Two shooters come to the line and ON COMMAND shoot their star ending with the popper.
    The winner's popper is the one that falls first (after all the plates are off the star)
    There are no classes. You can load up to 8 rounds.
    Hope this helps.

    Bruce

    Longbeard,

    Its not a true double elimination bracket.
    Only in the first round, after that its single elimination.
    And we prefer new shooters to attend the safety meeting at the begining of the match.
    Might be mandatory, John will know.

    2 hours prior to match... Roads coming up from south of Indy seemed to be ok. However, I'm hearing that roads North of the range are not good. You have been advised. If in doubt, stay home.
