USPSA / IPSC Orientation

Saturday March 24, 2012 – 9:00 AM

Do you have an interest in “Action Shooting“?  Maybe you’ve heard of IPSC or USPSA shooting and want to know more?  Well, have we got a deal for you!

East Huntingdon Practical Shooters will be holding a new competitor orientation on Saturday March 24, 2012. The orientation is free and open to anyone interested in IPSC style action shooting.  Items covered include:

USPSA Rules
Equipment
Gun Handling
Safety Issues

 After some time in the classroom, we will head outside to the range to shoot 2 or 3 courses of fire – maybe 50 to 80 rounds.

This is a great time to get started.  There will be experienced Range Officers there to help you and the other new shooters get started.    Even if you don’t want to shoot just yet, come on out and attend the class to see what our sport is all about.  The class is on, no matter what the weather is.

Here is a list of things you should bring if you plan on shooting:

Hearing and eye protection (required).  We do have earplugs you can have.
Handgun – any centerfire – 9mm or larger.  No .22’s, single shots, or single action revolvers.
Ammo - 70 to 80 rounds will get you through the orientation, but bring at least 150 to a regular match.  (if you don’t have this much, bring what you have)
Magazines - (or moonclips/speedloaders) as needed to shoot a 16 to 32 round stage.
Holster – must cover trigger guard.
Mag pouches- if you don’t have mag pouches, a carpenters pouch, a fanny pack or even your pockets will work just fine.

If you have any questions, please e-mail Rhianna Trout at md@ehpsa.com

Hope to see you on the range!!!!
