Race-guns, laser sights, holographic sights, or compensated guns are not permitted.
ALL EQUIPMENT IS SUBJECT TO AN INSPECTION AND A “SHAKE TEST.” Shooters without approved equipment may use approved borrowed equipment.

If you have a question about equipment, contact Mark T. of VBPD/FOP#8 Pistol Team at (LEFT OUT ON PURPOSE) The purpose of the match is to improve the skill sets and survivability of lethal encounters of the competitors. We also seek to provide an opportunity for members of our community to share ideas and training techniques for the betterment of all.

Additionally, the match will not be “open to the general public.” Supporters of competitors, i.e. spouses, families, and other department personnel MUST register with the event. Each person entering Blackwater USA must have completed the security form. Blackwater security personnel will verify all person prior to entry.

If you need me to help set up the courses on Friday again let me know.

Sounds good! Then if you work hard enough, I’ll let you eat Saturday.

Plenty of good raffle prizes, if you judge, they get a shot at a good prize with a free ticket!

I’ll probably be racing that weekend so don’t worry about Saturday. I’ll just help set up.

Just wanted to bump this up so people see it.

For information, this is a great time! Last year, we had close to 70 shooters, we hope to get closer to our 130 cap. We had two pistols as prizes along with a bunch of others things, lots of things.

Glock 17 and S&W M&P.

This year, we hope to have the same and maybe a Sig and Bushmaster.

Mark

Just wanted to pop this up.

Right now, it’s looking good for a Glock, M&P pistol–and hopefully an M&P15. Sig may contribute via The Armory and Bushmaster is in the works.

We’ve always had at the least one pistol.

Gotm4-if you are interested in judging, let me know. That gives you a chance to shoot the courses on Friday and have a raffle for the judge prizes.

M4arc said he’ll drive you around in the Gator

I’d love to but I’m pretty darn sure the boss won’t let me off. I’m off the week prior for vacation (spring Turkey hunting) and then of on April 25th and 26th (regular rotation days off) so I’m sure he won’t let me off on the 27th and 28th as well. We work a weird ass schedule.

Let me know if it changes!

Mark,
I asked the boss today and he said I could trade him my Wed and Thurs off for Friday and Saturday off to help with the match. I’ll IM you my contact info.

Would Marc and I shoot out of essentially IDPA gear? I was looking at the rules trying to figure that out, I don’t have a ‘thumb break’ holster for the M&P but I do have a 6004 for my G17, if that’s req’d I could shoot my G17. A co-worker does have a Safariland retention holster (dealer sample) that I can use with my Glock 17.

Thanks,
Robb

All right! Rob will have some fun at this!

Looks like a few coming in from northern Va. and Chesterfield co.!

For you prize junkies–first place will be either at least a pistol, maybe a rifle(S&W or Bushmaster)

Tons of other prizes and raffle items.

Mark

So far a Glock is in the pool! CMMG, Talon Arms and GRTactical are in.

If any LEO’s are looking for a great day shooting, plenty of good food and a chance to take home a pistol, maybe more, let me know!

I hope you’re training! :eek:

Glock is bringing a 21SL
