what a hoot!



Match conditions mandated backup guns only (BUG), so everyone had their little Kahr's, snubbies, and mini-Glocks.



Short barrels and low light are great equalizers.



One string reguired totally blacking out the range and starting without having your gun in hand, having to reach for it in the dark, turning on your flashlight and shooting while being timed.



All my practice with my snubose .38 Agent paid off, and I shot really well for my first night match. I guess I was "point shooting" because with my eyesight and the light conditions I wasn't clearly focusing on my front "sight" or whatever Colt calls that little bump on the end of a snub barrel.

Of course, I'm new to match shooting but I have been carrying and shooting a snub for several years now. The trigger action seems to be the most important factor in how well I shoot a D frame. The lightness and smoothness make it a joy to shoot.

Very practical match since all these nightstand guns and pocket guns rarely get shot in lowlight or no light conditions.



Really FUN match to shoot, too!

Why thank you Doc. It was fun wasn't it? The required head shots in the only fully lit stage were challenging too. I love my li'l snub.

Very little muzzle flash some of the guns you had to look for it.

Golden Triangle Gun Club in Beaumont Our range has lights where we can shoot from very well lit to no lights at all. One night we had a car that had flashing red and blues on it and shot with those as our illumination. We have IDPA matches on the first Saturday of the month (daylight) and the second Wednesday evening/night depending on time of year.)

Sounds like real fun. will have to check it out next time im off.

Hmmm - sounds like a great match format!

Anyone know of similar events around the DFW area ranges??

best!
