Texas combat shooters

[ALCSTUDIOS]

Anyone here go to the Texas combat shooters matches at Elm fork?

Went last night and did my first match with Texas combat shooters, had a lot of fun, got a couple of penalties but did fairly decent for my first time although I did get slide bit by trying to hurry and not gripping correctly. very fun match with challenging courses and lots of great people.

What's their format?

+1, I couldn't figure it out looking at their website.

Ok saw a YouTube. It looks like IDPAish type stages with no cover garment.

can you post a link to the video? i'm interested in this as well.

I've gone to some matches and am a member. Its kind of like IDPA but less rules and formality. Safety rules are still definitely observed, I'm talking about things like cover garments and cover, etc.

I've had a ton of fun out there. I just wish I could go more often.

For DFW people interested in this kind of stuff... here is the source for all the "practical" games.

DFW Shooters.org

I've signed up for that site (dfw shooters) twice in the last 6 months and have yet to be approved by a mod. Would be nice if they would get off their ass and approve me so I could log on.

Thank you for the link. Watched a few other videos, looks interesting. May have to join one of these when I get home.

For what it's worth, the site changed servers within the last six months- year and everyone had to reregister if I remember correctly.

The last time I signed up was about a month ago. I've given up on dfw shooters. But I will be going to one the TCS matches when I get home.

There is a lot of shooting in the metroplex, like 5 days a week, if you count steel, IDPA and USPSA. All of the activity is pretty much represented there. Sorry you are having problems getting on.

Hope to see you at a match soon, I almost completely forgot about D/FW shooters as I have signed up 2 different times with no luck at all either.. seems they target certain people kinda like the IRS

I signed up with about a month ago also, no approval. I've been shooting with CCIDPA.

Texas Combat Shooters is having a match this Thursday 6-20 at Elm Fork, starts at 6:50pm... who's going besides me and the wife?

 

[BigBoss0311]

I would like to see these posted on more sites. I know on M4C the local section for DFW is hurting bad for some shoots like this. I won't be home until late July but I will make the first one I can. Any courses of fire you can post? My 2 buddies were asking about this as well.

What are the match fees for these?

 

[BFThorp]

Another option is to always go to the source USPSA.org IDPA.com and "find" local clubs or matches. There is a match of some kind locally (DFW) 5 days a week, and 6 if somebody revives the Tuesday steel match.

What are the match fees for these?

This is my recollection, but it should be accurate or real close.

You have to be a member for liability and insurance reasons. Yearly membership is $35. If you don't want to do a yearly membership I think there's a temporary membership for $10.

Its $25 per match to run it with a pistol or a carbine. You can run the match pistol and carbine both for $10 more ($35).

Last time I was out there you could also substitute one head shot for two body shots if you wanted to conserve ammo.

I'm not a serious competitor so I don't have a lot to compare to, but I thought it was a good deal. I get to work on my skills and have a lot of fun at the same time.
