Match near lafayette?

[spanky]

I just might put effort into making this weekends match.

What are the local 'rules' about carrying while competing? have been to some where you can not put weapon in holster until your at the table at your first shooting station....(talk about a gaggle of confusion there), some you can only carry weapon with slide locked to the rear..... I understand and accept keeping it UNLOADED (duh, safety).

Also how many rounds for normal match? Dang I should look up what class I will be shooting in... I THINK Lem10.... or just Limited....

You can only take your gun out at the safe area or when it is your turn to shoot and you are told to "make ready."

Bring a bag or case so you can carry the gun from your car to the designated safe area where you can then put it in your holster with the slide forward and hammer or striker forward (dryfired).

So gearing up at the back of truck is a no-go ? have to do the gaggle at table to put gear on belt....
good to know.

Put on the belt and holster anywhere...unbag and handle the unloaded gun only at the safety area. Load mags, handle ammo anywhere except the safety area. That's all there is to it

You can figure the number of rounds by examining the COFs if you like...minimum two per paper target and one per steel unless the stage briefing requires otherwise. I just usually pack about 200 - 250 and don't worry about it.

Put everything EXCEPT the gun on at the truck.

And, like Curtis said, you cannot handle live ammo OR magazines with live ammo at the safe area. They can be on your belt or in your bag, just not in your hand.
