Thread: Marysville Rifle Club IPSC 101 Class -- May 8/16

Marysville Rifle Club is hosting an "IPSC 101" class for any new shooter
who presently doesn't have a USPSA Safety Check card or who isn't
presently approved to shoot USPSA matches and is interested in this
fast-paced style of practical shooting. Upon successful completion of
this class, you'll be ready to compete in any local practical-shooting
competition. The class will consist of roughly 7 hours of class/range
work (Saturday May 8, 10AM to 5PM with a lunch break. Lunch/drinks
provided) followed by personalized coaching through your first practical
shooting match to be held the following Sunday at MRC (Sunday May 16,
10AM to 3PM). Barring any severe safety infractions (DQ's) Sunday, the
students will be given their safety check cards. The cost of the class
is $75 (which also covers your match fee for Sundays match).

To register for the class (or for more information), please contact me
at vapors750@yahoo.com. Class size is strictly limited to 10
students. For more information about practical shooting, please visit
the USPSA's website at USPSA.org.

At this time...we only have 3 openings remaining for this class...so if you (or someone you know) is interested....act quick. When the class fills, I will start putting people on a "standby" list in the event that someone drops out.

I assume that the Saturday portion of class would be required to attend the Sunday event? You wouldn't happen to know of any place that does the classes like this on Sundays would you? I work Saturdays. I have been wanting to get into IDPA, and/or USPSA shooting sports, but so far all of the classes/events I have found have been Saturdays.

yes, the Saturday portion is required before you can shoot the match on Sunday and I don't know of any club that does safety checks on Sundays as Sunday is match day in the Northwest Section and a simple safety check takes 1 -2 hours to complete and there just isn't time to do one before a match.

is this full yet?

I believe at this time, the class is full...assuming everyone who has said they're interested, follows through. If you'd like to be placed on a standby list (assuming someone drops out...or doesn't follow through on their original commitment), please drop me an email at the above mentioned email address.

Thanks.
