Yes and the usual 10 AM start time. Round count will be 125 (5 stages * 5 targets * 5 runs each). I plan on shooting 2 guns, my 15-22 speed steel carbine and possibly my new Bul M-5 9mm in iron sight class. Just not sure I want to burn thru the 9mm ammo I have right now. I can reload it but usually don't, reloading 9x23mm instead for my STI and other Bul. Often I just shoot my carbine and my open rimfire pistol.
Please try to sign up so we know how many to plan for. I see someone already attached the info for you.
Look for Chris Viverette or myself (Steve Thomas). We would love to have ya and will show you around and explain things. We will both be there early.
Please remember.....this is a COLD RANGE. Leave you guns bagged until we gear up and only use the Safety Area for gun handling.
The weather is forecasted to be "ludicrous nice"

On this topic, how does this whole process work? I've read over the rule book, but how to you get to the bigger competitions that are broadcast on tv? Do you have to find a qualifier locally and place and then move from there?
I'm looking for a challenge, specifically pistol, and I'm lost as to where to start. I've read through the threads on some of the upcoming comps but since I've never shot at one I'm still a little wary.

Here are a couple pics. from December Speed Steel Match at Monocacy Pistol Club. Green steel plates are the stop plate and must be shot last.

Yes, find a local match and shoot a qualifier. Qualifier's are pre determined standard scenarios that everyone in the organization shoots (USPSA). After you have shot enough qualifiers you will get a rating from USPSA.
As far as I know (NOT MUCH) the big events are filled by clubs getting an allotment of "TICKETS" (for lack of the real term). So every member club gets invites for so many shooters. I do believe there are walk-ons too?
DONT DO IT! It will suck your bank account dry....worse than crack!
hell.. even regular matches does that too.. ask me how i know!
see you sunday!
January match is 1-12-13 at 10:00am at MPC.(2nd Saturday of the month)
I usually shoot 22 rimfire pistol and 22 rimfire carbine at this match to stay on the cheap.
Just looked over your website....looks like fun.
Which event gives you the most trigger time, Speed Steel or Falling Steel?
I just may have to make the trip soon!
Steve
