I'll be heading out there tonight. Hopefully, it's not too muddy. Don't wear your best shoes, it can get a little wet out there. Still, we didn't get near the rain they said we would. Looks like a few people already signed up. I'll be wearin' the white Beretta hat.............(alas, I think I'm the only Beretta shooter) Hope to see you there.

Hopefully it's still on.......we're supposed to get rain all week. If not, I'll definitely be there! FMJ is allowed, so leave the expensive hollow points at home unless you're rotating carry ammo. You can buy ammo at the club house, but it's expensive. Best to stop at Walmart the night before. Bring a belt, holster, eye/ear protection, pistol, 3 mags, ammo (about 150 rounds) and a concealment garment (cover shirt or vest). Just let someone know you're a new shooter and they'll cover the rules and when/where to handle your pistol/ammo. Bring your pistol in a case. You'll need to stop at the club house on the hill to get your score sheet ($10) and your first shoot is a $0 match fee.

I was the guy in the white Beretta hat keeping score. I've been shooting there for about a year and think they're a great bunch of people and run great matches. I dry fire my Beretta PX4 more than I shoot it loaded up and have never had an issue. Never used snap caps either. Those high dollar guns should be able to handle it with no problems. Especially that nice Kimber 
The rules are in place for a reason. Obviously, they get followed by the letter by everyone which ensures not only your safety, but the safety of those around you. If I recall your DQ was not for improper clear procedures. They do try to be fair but their rules are set in stone. Unfortunately, you either abide by them or become a spectator. Hope to see you out there again. You were shooting pretty well..............

If you were shooting out at Elm Fork Saturday and got DQ'd, you were shooting very well. 
(not sure if you're the same person or not) Any IDPA match you can learn from is a good one. It's a great reminder of safety techniques we need to use during defensive situations and even sporting events. Personally, I've learned alot from it but have to admit that I find the clearing procedure after shooting a bit unsafe for real world application (clear, slide, trigger....holster)
