Does anyone ever wonder how they would shoot in the dark? Here is your chance to findout. Colby gun club in association with ODPL is putting on a low light to no light match on Saturday March 22 2008, from 0900-1500 hrs. You will need holster qualification a trusty handgun and a even better flashlight to challenge the night. Find the poster and more information on the ODPL website at http://ww w.odplonline.org/.

Yeah... :(


Here's one clip from a Colby match full of dark... I thought I had more somewhere on my hard drive, but I'll hafta look later... 'Gotta go find my teeth.

 
shooters

Get prepared to face the night. Get your flashlight techniques down and come on out for a good time.
 
Great match...
My only advice to others would be to make fure your flashlight is 'on' if you're gonna drop it.. 'Makes it easier to find in the dark.
 
Nice pics of a fool, trying to shoot without a flashlight! Trading a flashlight
for that plushy orange fellow, what was I thinking (forgot, only had two
hands). Ah, I think there was a target there, there and there, and
maybe there... 8)

I had been looking forward to this match for quite some time, but unfortunately couldn't make it.

But here is my question, had I have been able to make it: The online ODPL rules say no "lights used on guns". Is that really the case? Could I have been able to slip on a weapons light after the beep, or only handheld flashlights?

I can grok the notion that the RO doesn't want someone fumbling around in the dark with their hand near the muzzle of a loaded gun, trying to attach the light. But on the other hand, I've got a pretty frikk'n cool light!:)
 
lights on

I would have given you the chance to slip on the light. If however your hand got infront of your muzzle, you would have been DQ'ed. That is the chance you take when you have a really cool light to slip on. Hell at least you would have been given the chance.

This is one of the minor variations from straight IDPA. Because every new service pistol comes with a rail, we allow lights to be physically on the gun - you just can't "use" it. That compromise was intended to stop an equipment race.

Bersmith, being the generous, caring, almost sensitively-open-minded sort of guy that he is, would let you use it as he just mentioned.

Basically, clear anything you think is questionable with the match director in advance.
 
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: ODPL rocks! I've only been to two matches, but it seems to be run by quite REASONABLE people.

Okay, why is there no match in April? That seems unreasonable to me...
