11^th Annual Oregon Single Stack back to back with the 3^rd Annual Oregon Glock Championship

Welcome to one big weekend of shooting fun. This year we have decided to put on these two big matches back to back with each other. Here are some answers to questions about one or both of the matches.

What do the stages look like this year? If you check out the USPSA Limited / Production National stages on www.uspsa.org under the National Matches heading, we will be using a modified version of stages 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 13, 16. We thought this would add a little fun to each match.

Where is the best place to stay overnight at in the Albany area? We have a special deal with Phoenix Inn in Albany and if you mention Albany Rifle and Pistol Club you can get a room for $69 plus tax.

When do the matches begin? Both matches will begin at 9am.

Will the stages be the same at both matches? No, what you shoot on Saturday will be different than Sunday’s match.

Will lunch be available Saturday and Sunday? Yes, if you fill out a lunch order form each morning our neighboring deli will deliver lunch around 12:30 each day. Due to the fact that we are shooting 8 stages at each match there will not be an official lunch break.

Are you giving guns away this year at either of the matches? Yes, we will have 3 Springfield 1911’s given away at the Single Stack Championships (one ticket per entry), one Single Stack to the staff and squad moms, plus we will be giving away, for the first time, 2 Glocks (one ticket per entry) at the Oregon Glock Championships.

Do we have more room for competitors in either match? Yes, we have limited room for the Single Stack and plenty of room for the Glock Championship but don’t tell anyone if you want to increase the odds of winning a handgun.

How are the divisions set up for the Single Stack and Glock matches? The Single Stack match will be the same as we did it last year. L10 for single stacks shooting under the L10 USPSA rules, single stack for competitors shooting under the single stack USPSA rules and Open for other Limited 10 non-single stack guns. L10 division of the 11^th SS Championships will shoot for trophies, other divisions for ribbons and everyone is in the drawings for the handguns to be given away. Glock Championships will recognize all divisions of Glocks except for Glock revolver. Awards will be based on the number of entries in each division, class and category. In both matches awards will be mailed directly from the award factory to the winners.

Will there be extra shirts and hats at the Single Stack? Yes, a few extra shirts and hats will be available on a first come first serve basis.

What is the weather going to be like? Only God knows and I’m sure that answer is not high on the priority list for Him. Be prepared for anything. We will have some water available but it is always best to bring your own. I find most competitors are unprepared when it concerns fluid intake during the match.

What rules are these matches conducted under? We are running these matches under the current edition of the USPSA / IPSC rules.

Please feel free to send an email or call if you have additional questions about either match. If you received this email you are either signed up or we are thinking you should be here.
