ALTERNATIVE IDPA SCENARIOS: Expect a few all steel CoF (hit’s only for those that might be shooting .32 or .380 BUGS. Expect a threat or threats in a “sea” of No-shoots. Maybe a few other interesting things as well.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Quick, Fast, fun and furious scenarios. Three scenarios per bay-4 bays. Each scenario will be 5-6 rounds. Bay design will be such that the shooter will shoot one CoF, move to next scenario-load and shoot, then move to next scenario- load and shoot.

THIS IS A REVOLVER FRIENDLY MATCH. HAVE A REVOLVER THAT YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF THE SAFE AND PLAY WITH. HERE IS YOUR CHANCE. WANT TO SHOOT THAT BUG WEAPON THAT YOU PLAN ON USING AS A LAST RESORT AND WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WILL DO THE JOB. HERE IS YOUR CHANCE. YOU HAVE (AND LOVE) YOUR SEMI-AUTO AND WANT TO SHOOT A BUNCH OF QUICK AND FUN SCENARIOS THAT HOPEFULLY WILL SEND YOU HOME WITH A GRIN ON YOUR FACE. HERE IS YOUR CHANCE.

This sounds like a great event. Too bad I don't have a BUG yet or I'd love to participate. Do you hold these types of matches often?

What qualifies as a semi-auto BUG? could I shoot my Walther PPS? also can you register and shoot two different guns? A snubby revolver AND a semi-auto?

BUG for this match will be a Semi-auto Officer/Glock 30/Glock 26/Kel-Tec mouse gun, etc.

This match is for those with regular weapons as well. You will be downloaded to 6 rounds per mag and it will still be a open-can of fun.

Multiple guns? We can prob. work it out, but it will be adjusted a little on the pay side. Those wanting to shoot multiple guns (it will be limited to 2 weapons max) Those with questions about multi-guns, or other questions can also email me private at solari@prodigy.net
