A heads up if you are looking for an area to set up a range...
See if you can locate an abandoned rock quarry. Most are still owned by companies that consider them a liability. I know of one North of St. Joseph that sold around twenty years ago for around $8,000 (37 acres) |

Shit the "gaming" has been around for DECADES!
In the late fifties it was PPC, which was originally known as Police Pistol Combat
I've never encountered an Officer wearing on duty a revolver with an 1 1/4" diameter barrel, large rib shooting .38 special 148 gr wadcutters loaded with 2.7 gr of Bullseye, and with a single action pull of 1 pound and a double action pull of 6-8 pounds An example of a "typical" PPC. gun 
Interestingly, the finest PPC pistols were built b Ron Power of Power Custom in Indepenence, MO. Back in the seventies it was IPSC, and as time progressed things got less and less like reality. Anyone remember the Bianchi Pistolero holster? It was fashioned after a late 1800's drop leg tie down gunfighter rig. Or there were the $3,000 (remember, I'm talking Late seventies & early eighties dollars) 1911 "Pin Guns" produced by The Auto Shop, Hogue, Clark, Pachmayer, Heinie, etc. An example of a 1911 Pin Gun, the Devel Gammon. Probably the finest example ever manufactured, it was used by Mickey Fowler. 
Eventually they did start passing rules that made some sense. |

YMMV I completely understand wanting to play around & have fun. The problem with that is scheduling. With the shooting sports being so popular and turnouts being as high as they are if everyone wanted to take that much time then it would be impossible to stick to a schedule during a match. Squads would be backing up behind each other and taking up the entire day. Hence the reason for par times these days. |

So if several guys ahead of you decided to shoot the 30-50 rounds stage with the old style muzzle loader rifle and shotgun Blunderbuss, and cap and ball pistols, taking 15-20 minutes each instead of 1-2. Then it got too late for you to shoot the stage. I assume you would also feel discriminated against. You are WELCOME to run what you brung in any of our matches, but you will have the same time limit as everyone else, so as to not discriminate against them. Your also welcome to stay after and shoot whatever you want(safely of course) till dark, if you want to stay that long. |

(Golly, did I really just call myself an old timer at just age 46? ) We do like to go fast as much as the next guy. Say, can I rivet a holster and some mag carriers to a walker? But please realize that our tastes can also be as varied as our gun collections and occasionally we'd like to shoot some of those other guns for fun too. |

I know a couple of smoke pole shooters who could probably do it. if your round count isn't idiotic... like 3 per target... they could center punch em and reload on the run with paper cartridges... if I can use my 1858 Remington and pre-loaded cylinders I can do OK...
Shotguns well no blunderbuss but I would use a double.. I shot 3 gun before it was called 3 gun... when it was the Soldier of Fortune 3 Gun challenge in Vegas... and I don't like shooter boxes... |

Here's Google's version of the vid from the 18th match - DISREGARD their added gay music
http://goo.gl/photos/CK2dhPv3oVxMBrf38 I guess I need to compare the match schedule to my work schedule and see if I can make it down. Wouldn't be terribly competitive but trigger time is good time. What kind of per-stage round count is typical? |

What kind of per-stage round count is typical? Normally the 3rd Sat of every month , EXCEPT for Aug. which will be the 4th weekend. Have a major we will be shooting on our normal date. Round count per stage ~15 per gun avg. some stages will be a little above, some will be a few under. But 75 rounds per gun, per match is pretty close. Keep in mind that is the MINIMUM depending on how much you miss will determine the total shot. As I tell everybody at the shooters brief. " You won't win your 1st match, nor the 2nd, or 10th, most of us will never win a match. That's NOT what it's about, it's about having fun, shooting under pressure/stress, both mental and physical. And improving your skills running your guns." |

I don't expect to win, ever. I shot a bit of IDPA several years ago and was generally in the bottom third of the rankings... but I had fun. I just hate being That Guy. If I'm running a bone-stock 870, a basic carbine, and ... well, pistol is what I'd have to think about I guess. Ah well, I'll see what I can do. |

We have one every month, not many arfcomer's show up. I think it's the shooting part that keeps them away.

I know right!! Does anyone have a piece of property we could have a shoot on?? I have a couple targets :-) We have one every month, not many arfcomer's show up. I think it's the shooting part that keeps them away.
Every month? Let me know and I'll be there. Probably. ETA - Oh is it three gun? I don't have a decent Shotgun and my AR isn't set up for that sort of sport... WTF is Ver-sail-ees? |

The Sg part I understand, but your AR ? ? It does have sights correct ? and is in working order ? Other than that I can't think of any AR that wouldn't work. Versailles is about the exact center of the state, which also should eliminate the "it's too far" complainers
if you can't get here in 2- 2.5 hours from anywhere, but the extreme corners of the state, you need to let somebody else drive

I don't know know how well the irons are set up. I only shot them once. I don't want to take my scope off. Excuses, excuses... If someone in KC wants to go with my, I'll try it. Though 4th Sunday in August is my USPSA practice match I want to make. |

Though 4th Sunday in August is my USPSA practice match I want to make. Plenty of gamers shoot heavy barrels with magnified optics... some have a red dot mounted above the optic or on the side of the rail... That said most shooters will let you borrow something for your first match or so just to get your feet wet... I used to bring extras of everything for newbies who wanted to try it out. |

And yes - you can stay and try to hit that stupid 700 yard plate. I have backed off a little for the summer, but plan on getting back out there when the weather cools. I don't plan to win, but I do like beating the "really good" shooters every once in a while. My job is to keep them young punks honest. No body wants to get beat by the old fart. (My birthday was July 52nd. I think I'm 35, but then again... I'm dyslexic. My mind says I'm 35 anyway.)
