There's one going on on the 22nd, I've been to a "regular" match, what is the difference in a "fun" match? Thanks.

Scores don't count towards your annual score and rating. Sometimes a shotgun stage. Similar stage setup, but can have some off the wall procedures. Fun!!!

During the summer (which is when the fun matches are held) I prefer the fun match to the regular matches. The regular matches are (relatively speaking) plain and boring (which is the way they should be since it's a "practical" league) but the fun matches often lean towards the bizarre.

Interestingly, I always score much much better in the fun matches; novel and unusual situations seem to make me more engaged.

So is it still just pistol? and still about the same round count? Thanks guys.

Sometimes one of the stages is shotgun, but in the past you could shoot the shotgun stage with a pistol or borrow a shotgun if you didn't bring one. In my experience, the round count is about the same as a normal match.

Still no rifle though, correct?

Center fire rifle's are not allowed on the KPDL range. .22 LR is ok and was used at a match last year. I don't remember if it was a fun match or regular.

I've seen them do .22 rimfire rifle stages (well actually I've only seen that once), but there has always been an e-mail that went-out to the KDPL members well in advance if there was going to be a rifle or shotgun stage. I haven't seen such an e-mail so it's safe to assume that it will be 100% pistol.

I like to bring-out my rifle and shoot it on the main range before the match, so if you want to do that then have at it (but my rifle is a .308 AR, not a .22 rimfire, so that wouldn't be helpful in the KPDL match)

Yea I have a regular 5.56 AR so I guess I gotta just wait til the next KCPRL match, if it still happens :( Either way I'll still be there, pretty much the only guy with a subcompact lol!

sally11b - email [email protected] to get on our mailing list. I should have a match announcement going out tonight once I know if there will be a shotgun stage.

Turns-out there WILL be a .22 rimfire rifle stage this match. I just found-out a moment ago when I read my e-mail.

Sounds like a plan, only crappy thing is that I'll have to go there straight from a 24 hour shift
