Past match results are located here IDPA Match Results
All future match results will be posted on practiscore.com.
Match set-up begins at 8:30 a.m.
The sooner people show up and help set up, the sooner we will get started shooting and the sooner the match will be finished. All help is greatly appreciated.
New Shooter “check-in” will open from 8:45 a.m. until 9:00 a.m.
New Shooters must be at the range no later than 9:00 a.m. for the new shooter check and orientation. If you have not previously shot IDPA or USPSA at BGSL, you MUST go thru the New Shooter check, with the following exception: IDPA members from other clubs who have a valid IDPA membership and Classification of MM or higher will not need to go thru the New Shooter check. Just present your membership card and proof of classification at match registration.
All match registration and payment will be made via www.practiscore.com. All BGSL IDPA matches will be listed under BLUEGRASS PISTOL CLUB KY05. If you do not have an account you must register and log in. Registration will open at least one week prior to the match. Prepayment is required to complete your registration. ONLY in the event the match is cancelled, refunds will be processed. Match “check-in only” will be held at the shelter at Pistol Pit 1 starting at 9am.
In the even of an extenuating circumstance due to lack of internet access or credit card interferes with registering online please contact the Match Director in advance for assistance.
The new rulebook is now in effect.
You may download it at: http://members.idpa.com/Content/Rules/cfcvw4ka.izk.pdfhttp: It would be much to your benefit to download it and read thru it prior to your next match, unless you are one of those shooters who enjoy learning the new rules 3-seconds-at-a-time.
Note: IDPA matches are normally held on the 3rd Saturday of each month, unless otherwise noted here.
Self-defense skills are needed regardless of the weather. Therefore, the IDPA matches at BGSL will go on, rain, snow or sunshine. But since it IS a game and we don’t want anyone to get hurt, if there is a thunderstorm in the vicinity, shooting will be suspended until the danger has passed. The match will then resume for those who have stayed. It is extremely unusual to have to cancel an IDPA match at BGSL due to weather, it has only happened twice in 15 years. If it is necessary to cancel a match due to weather, that info will be posted at the top of this page by 7:30 a.m. the day of the match. Additionally, all registered shooters will be emailed this information via practiscore.
We shoot in squads starting at 930 a.m. or as soon as the stages are set up and the new shooters have finished the New Shooter Check. New Shooters see below. Registered shooters need to be at the range no later than 9 a.m. checked in and ready to shoot by 930 am. We set up the stages and begin shooting as soon as all the stages are set up and new shooter orientation is completed. After everyone has shot the match all shooters tear down the stages and put everything away. If you arrive after 930 a.m., you will be too late to shoot the match. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
NEW SHOOTERS
If you have not previously shot an IDPA match at BGSL, you must be at the range at 8:45 but no later than 9:00 a.m. for a new shooter safety check and IDPA orientation.
