Fourth of July: Match at ARPC!

(This will be a dated announcement, and will be removed after five days)

This coming weekend at the Albany Rifle and Pistol Club (ARPC) was originally scheduled for a USPSA Junior Invitational match on July 3-5, 2008.

However, not enough Juniors in USPSA were able to attend.

Independence Day is often a "Family Picnic" day in America, and the scheduling apparently conflicted with too many family plans.

Rather than to cancel the event entirely, ARPC has announced that a Club Match will be held on July 4.

It will be open to everyone (assuming the usual requirements for participants to be either USPSA members, or have completed Certification Training which is available once a month at ARPC.)

Match Director Mike McCarter provides the details:

It will be 6-8 stages, regular starting time, regular fees for adults and no cost for juniors. It looks like the temperature will be around 74 degrees and time for a good old fun match, no points, no pressure and a chance to make a "Bang" with our type of fireworks.

"Regular starting time" is 9 am.
"Regular fee" is $17 -- $15 for match fees, and a two-dollar surcharge to pay Junior Team members to tear down the stages at the end of the day. This money goes to support the Junior Team, and it means that you will not have to stick around to tear down the stages and tote the heavy props and steel targets after having competed. It doesn't get any better than this.

Directions to the range are available here.

I'll be there. I really need to shoot a match. I'm getting tired of going to a pistol match, and only shooting pictures with a camera.

If you're in the area, and you're a USPSA member, you should be there too.

UPDATE: 03-JUL-2008:
Hi All,
Yes, we are having a match on the 4th of July, regular start time, regular fee for adults and free for juniors. The gates will be locked, however if you use the button code on the main gate the code is 4045# or if you are a member then use your card, please pass the word. This number will be in effect from now on for USPSA events.
