Anyone here going?

What happens to those who didn't sign up for the classifier? Are they still running a regular match?

There will be a regular match running simultaneously with the classifier. A shooter cannot do both. It's one or the other.
Anyone that wants to classify needs to send an email to info@ctidpa.com to find out if there are any openings left.

If you don't need a classifier and want to shoot the regular match, then bring it on.

BTW, we have switched to summer hours. Sign up by 8:30am, hammer down at 9.

I'm signed up for the classifier. Just wondering what happens to those that didn't.

I did pretty bad on the low light match. It was my first time shooting with a flashlight. It sure was an eye opener. I learned low light shooting is something you have to experience and learn, not just plan for in your mind after buying a high dollar tac light. :)

Shooting in the dark with a flashlight in your hand certainly is a little harder than shooting in the light. FYI, I was using a $18 Brinkmann flashlight from Walmart.

I had a $30 Brinkman. It was really bright and I was impressed. However, a wider broadcast light would've been better, I think. My light was more of a narrow beam. In a low light situation, I think it would've been better to illuminate an area instead of a spot.
