For great Justice
Hopefully I can make it this sunday, looking forward to it.
As far as equipment goes, you shoot 5 strings back to back per stage. Each string consists of 5 steel tagets, if you miss, you shoot again, so 25 rounds capacity if you don't miss, realistically you want 7-10 rounds avaialble per stage. I used my IDPA rig, M&P pro, and 3 mags loaded up to 17rds capacity each. I would shoot 2 strings per mag, shoot the last string with the 3rd mag, and never ran close to dry. For a single stack or 22, you would be looking at 5 mags total. While you "could" get away with loading your mags while shooting a stage it would slow up the match for everyone, and should be avoided if at all possible.

Nice match. A big thank you to Kevp and 3rdRcn for the help and suggestions on my wife's tempermental Mosquito, and to all who made the newbies feel welcome.

Bitflipper,
It was great meeting you and your Family. I hope you all become regulars. It is great to see a family out together......and thank your Son for his service.

The match was great.
This was my first time shooting the Steel plate match and I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new venue/match to shoot. Lots of good folks there and definitely something that any level of shooter can enjoy.
Thanks again to the folks running this for us.

It was good meeting you and the family as well Bitflipper, my daughter may come up and shoot with us in August.
Had a great time folks and the company was good, the weather was a bit hot though. It was good seeing some old friends there that I don't get to see very often, hope to see you guys and gals again soon.

Anyone from Harford County going?
My wife and kids are leaving for a week on Saturday and Sunday is Day 1 of Bachelor week (the much less publicized version of Shark Week, which begins the following week). Might have to muster up the courage to give it a shot (pun fully intended).
Also, can I bring a friend along, too? I figure so, but I felt I should ask to be sure.

Its pretty laidback and there are people there that are willing to help all you have to do is ask.
Bringing a friend should be fine, its open to the public.
I plan to come out and embarrass myself on the 25th.
I embarrassed my self with Skeet and at IDPA, so I'm getting used to it and the sunburn will hid my blushing.
Edit:
<---not the ruger in the photo, but my IDPA set-up.

Outstanding time! Except for the heat of the day I think this was the most fun I've had with a gun.
Nice group. Got to make some new friends and see some old buds!
THANKS RO's!
