On May 5th, we'll be out there ... but we'll only have one or two courses set-up, and only for the purposes of getting new shooters acclimated. We'll be charging $5, to cover the cost of targets, pasters, and uprights. Everyone's expected to help set-up and tear-down. Please try to get there as soon after 4:00, as you can. We'll be well on our way shortly after 5:00. We'll need to be done shooting by 7:30 or 7:45 (this is a requirement of our conditional use permit ... no exceptions).
Also, every year, we lose RO's. At which, it's very important, every year, that guys step-up to RO. USPSA recognized RO's certified by the NROI. However, for our Thursday night matches, we do not require NROI certification. It's nice. But if we did, we couldn't have matches, anymore.
Bottom line is, if you're a class C shooter, and you're otherwise comfortable with what's going on, you're ready to RO at our Thursday nite matches.
There are a specific set of range commands you need to memorize, though. Even if you've taken the NROI course, until you've actually run a dozen or more shooters, using the proper range commands, it's easier said, than done. Before you attempt to run a few of the 60 shooters we typically get on a Thursday nite, I highly recommend you take advantage of this opportunity, May 5th, to get your **** together.
If you'd like to practice ROing, I'd suggest you bring some ammo, anyhow, and plan to shoot a bit (and pay $5). This way, we should have plenty of shooters, for RO's to practice with.
I'd bring at least 100rd.
New shooters ... if you don't/won't have a belt, holster, and mag-holders for May 5th, come anyhow ... we'll start ya at "low ready".
There's no commitment here. If ya decide it's the most horrible thing you've ever done, by all means, don't come back.
OGC membership is not required. USPSA membership is not required.
... "El Prez", has been mentioned. I was thinking of keeping the steel "
It's worth it to attend at least one or two matches there.
