What exactly is Retro Wave Shooting? It is the next up and coming fun match. Inspired by Cowboy Action Shooting, RWS is a fun take on 70s, 80s, and 90s Pop Action Movies, TV Shows, and Historical Events. Shooting in Costume isn't required but encouraged. The idea is simply to have fun. 
28-29 September 2019 Where? At Talon Range in Midway, Florida. Just west of Tallahassee. Talon Range is a professional set up. I can confirm. Spoke with them at SHOT Show and again here in town. They're all for it. They host IDPA, Steel, USPSA, CAS, and GSSF. 
This is an older aerial of the range. 
For more info, check out the GD thread that lead up to this. 70s to 90s Themed Gun Matches - inspired by the Cowboy Action Shooting MATCH DATE SET So pack your wardrobe, get ready to spout some one liners, and rock out at the range as if Reagan was back in office. 
Move Over Cowboy Action Shooting, Gen X and Millennial Nostalgia is Creating a New Type of Shooting Sport - Article on The Truth About Guns 
Match Rules Quoted: Okay folks. Registration is set to open at 5PM CDT. PractiScore link Starting a PractiScore account is free and simple, and it's actually an awesome app. Original posts: Okay, I've seen a number of folks here mention a late 70s to early 90s theme matches based on action flicks like Commando and period tv police dramas like Miami Vice. Got me to dig out the jacket. Lets start getting the rules down. Update: Talon Range is a professional set up. I can confirm. Spoke with them at SHOT Show and again here in town. They're all for it. They host IDPA, Steel, USPSA, CAS, and GSSF. This is an older aerial of the range. It is FAR BIGGER THAN THIS NOW. Originally Posted By DeltaElite777: Okay ya' filthy animals.... 28-29 September 2019 Talon Range, Tallahassee Florida. It's muthafuckin' ON Complete rule book is almost done, JBT is working on cool artwork and promotional stuff. Who's man enough?  |

It would be fun to do a 10 stage decade match.
First stage is 1900-1910 guns Second stage is 1911-1920 guns and so on. |

Seems easier to use another sanctioning body's rules with an addendum for your match dictating allowed firearms.
I.e., USPSA Multi-gun but give a list of allowable guns and modifications. And no costumes, please. |

Here's the match's theme:

We could probably throw in period conflicts as a part of the theme, too. Gulf War, Bush War, the civil wars in Latin America, conflicts involving South Africa, etc. Heck, Vietnam even fits into that theme.

There needs to be a service revolver division that requires fixed sights and no moon clips.

If you are a female, it would much harder to find 80's fashion clothes. I can see how this would appeal to me like CAS does to old folks. Aside from the 80s clothes, you have to get the vice/narc look: necklace badge holders belt badge holder external vest carrier with POLICE on the back Leather shoulder holsters. It would all be reusable for "Tango & Cash", "Raw Deal", "Die Hard" and "Lethal Weapon" scenarios. |

Quote HistoryOf course we are referencing a very popular weapon of the 80s. But now I'm starting to imagine a "dumpster defense" theme match. Would women be allowed if everyone has to be shirtless? Side note. I have a real hankering to see Shockwave style shotguns used in shooting matches. That sporting purpose clause that keeps coming back up even though it was an idea invented by Nazis. |
