Greetings from Rice Village in Houston
« on: July 22, 2012, 10:53:44 PM »
Moved to Houston in 2011 for work.  I own a bunch of different things - couple of Sigs, a Glock, a Five-Seven, etc.

Started shooting IDPA, USPSA, and SCSA within the past few months and really love it!  I actually picked up an AR from a forum member so I can try out 3 gun (thanks Adam)!

...just need to get a shotgun  :th_thicon_idea:  Looking to pick up a Benelli Super Nova in the near future.

Anyway, I guess that's it!  See you all on the site!

Welcome to the forum. You mentioned IDPA, do you shoot IDPA at Shiloh on Thursdays?

I've shot in one match @ Shiloh so far, but I plan to shoot there more... hopefully for the upcoming BUG match.

Great place to shoot BTW!

Welcome! I don't regret the AR sale too much. I'll regret it much less after I buy a new 1911  :rocknroll2:

I don't think the August BUG match is going to be a normal BUG match. It's more of a concealed carry match. Dress like you normally do and conceal as you normally do (with some exceptions) I have copied and pasted the email below. This is for the August 30th match.

Quote
In lieu of the typical 5th Thursday BUG match, we will be having a concealed carry-themed match. The point of this match is to use and practice with the gun, holster, clothes and carry condition you would normally carry your gun in public. We are not prescribing what you have to look like or what type of gun to shoot, but it needs to be carried and concealed in a manner you would normally carry and conceal the gun. If you are a daily vest wearer, then by all means continue to wear your concealment vest. But if you are like most people and tend to throw a T-shirt over the gun, that is the way you should show up to this match.

IDPA rules still apply, so no cross-draw, small of back, ankle, appendix, shoulder or purse carry. All of those can be safe, however they also represent safety issues that we cannot allow.

We will be performing a standard IDPA "scarecrow" equipment check at the match - we should be able to see none of your gun or gear when you have your arms raised parallel to the ground. Anyone failing equipment check can opt to take a procedural on every stage.

We will be operating on the honor system also - please come with your 'normal' carry method (that fits into the rules above). Remember that it's summer, so if you're dressed in a manner unsuitable for 100+ degree weather, you're not using a "normal" carry method. If you do not want to, you can opt for a procedural on every stage.

Guns of caliber .25ACP and up are allowed. We will be separating shooters into appropriate divisions (all normal divisions plus BUG). BUG guns may use lasers, however none of the other divisions may. A gun that qualifies for both BUG and a normal division must be declared as one or the other. The stage rules for BUG guns will be no different than the rest of the divisions (you will shoot more than 5 rounds in a stage and you will reload on the clock).

Indeed Ceejmo - slightly different format. BUGs are still usable, but the focus is more on shooting with your "regular" carry gun(s).

Shouldn't that be the purpose anyway?

Yes and no. Though I think discussion of it should happen in another forum/thread.

You'll have to post what you get.  :th_thicon_idea: 

I mounted an XPS3-0 to it and am trading the 516 for a Sig P226.  Hoping to trade the 226 on a Benelli... man, I feel like those dudes on Barter Kings haha
