D'oh!

Hmm. Well I'm off to ask the wife if I can buy a few mags. Is there anything else I need?

I am there regularly. New shooters are common and they will take good care of you. My son, now 16, started shooting last year and everyone has been very encouraging. If you are new to IDPA you can shoot what you bring (within reason) but if it doesn't comply with the rules then your score is invalid... No big deal really for a newby. Join us!

Are you a member Buck?
I have sent two or three membership inquiry emails because of my disabilities I wouldn't be able to compete but would like to join for range access. Wanted to know if there were options for disabled to meet the service requirments. I have my two daughters that want to try competition and would be willing to pitch in also. No response from them and can't handle sitting through the monthly meetings lately. Does the membership committe have a phone number?

Thanks

I do not know how to help you reach the membership committee, but I know a few members and will see what I can do. I do want to point out that your daughters do not need to be members to shoot in competitions. Matches are open to the public, membership is only necessary if you want open range access.

Hope that helps!

Josh is correct regarding non-members shooting in matches.

Hey, C:

I don't want to intrude on your privacy, but disabilities don't always eliminate you from shooting matches. When I was recovering my back surgery in 2002, I could barely stand and shot courses of fire with my cane at Wildcat Valley. The guys there were very understanding and helpful, and I would predict similar reception at NPCCC.

There have been shooters in wheelchairs in both IDPA and USPSA for years as well.

You may want to go and watch a match before you rule out participating yourself!

Thanks for the info Rhino and everyone else. If I do get there Turn maybe I can let u run a matck with my 1911 Taurus depending on if I can get the gear needed in time. Still haven't decided on a new rig and mag carriers. Might just fobus paddle it for now. I always had decent luck with those for occasional carry. Unless the rules outlaw fobus.

Is there an area to spread a blanket so I could stretch the back out if it gets too bad? Can't sit at benches and lawn chairs or folding chairs n me aren't on speaking terms.

Fobus will work, sir. I've seen many at matches.
