I may try to come down tomorrow to see the match, if spectators are allowed. I can find the place on my own, but I gotta say, that map posted drives me nuts. I'm sorry if you designed it, I can hardly makes heads or tails of it. And this from someone who is very familiar with Tulsa, having lived there for a year, and pretty familiar with BA, as well. But that map is driving me batty, even with Google Maps pulled up next to it for reference.

Anyways... I'm not complaining, I'm just giving you the perspective I have as someone who's never been to the club and trying to locate it by that map.

And here's a Google Maps link to the GPS directions provided.


And here's one format Google Maps will accept for GPS coordinates - it wouldn't accept them as a copy/paste from the webpage.

Bring your gun and plan on shooting you will regret not participating. It's a lot of fun! Oil capitol also does a rifle match, steel challenge, and pro am monthly.

I dont think I can shoot.... it's IDPA, right. Was reading through some stuff and it looks like I'd have to be and IDPA member or trained or quaified or some such...

and I have no idea what is involved in shooting a match. None. I could shoot my Glock, but dunno if two mags is enough, as that is all I have. For my 1911s I have more...

I am not sure how this all works.

Just went and checked again... it's not just a "show up and sign up kinda thing"

1. Must email match director first
2. Email completed application for match after approval from director
3. Must join IDPA and show membership card
4. Must show current IDPA Class card

Lotta steps. Everything sounds alot more complicated than other peeps here havesaid, just show up and sign up... maybe it's all the regulatory stuff that keeps so many away, when we might love to just show up, watch a few rounds, then try the course for ourselves. I dunno, go figure.

I'd be amazed if the IDPA group turned a new shooter away.

There's always USPSA, that's sign up and shoot anywhere in the state.

I think I'm going to try to make it. I looked back at the rules and it looks like all that stuff I was seeing was about the Championship last month... there's not really anything about the regular matches. There's a link for them, but then it links back to the Championship page. lol

My problem is lack of mags (waiting on two more for my Glock 22 from GED) and mag holders. For my 1911s, I'm in good shape for mags and holsters, but again, no extra mag holders.

I guess I bring a couple of setups and see what people might have to loan, or see if I can get by doing something different.

I'm going to email Jack right now.

If I make it, look for the one who looks like a pirate... lol. A poor, shabby, no-account pirate. lol

Did you make it today? I watched one of the IDPA matches at OC last year. I think I saw Been there at that time. It looked like they were having fun, but it wouldn't be my cup of tea.
