I have a few items to go over with everyone as we all shiver here in
NE Tennessee.
First, I need a volunteer(s) for the January match on Jan 23rd. If you
can set up a few or all stages please let me know and you can shoot
free on that match.
Second, I have confirmed the upcoming Safety Officer training class to
be held at Kettlefoot on February 13, starting at 8:00am. Paul Bowling
from Personal Protection Training will be here to teach the new SOs
the rules, and bring the existing SOs to the current plans for IDPA.
So, I strongly recommend attending this meeting if you are interested
in working on our upcoming state match in June.
From Paul ---
“I think we can begin around 8:00 AM and finish the class room part
around 12:00 to 12:30, take a QUICK lunch and do the range stuff in
the afternoon. Basically, the range time will be the classifier. Half
the class will be the SO while the other half shoots then we’ll
reverse it. Everyone will get to shoot a classifier and have an
opportunity to SO.
Is there quick food around the area or should everyone bring food with
them?
Joe Paige, our area coordinator, has told me he may be there as well.
The link to register is: http://idpasobristol.eventbrite.com. Note no
www.”
Please go to the web page and register and pay the $25 registration
fee which covers handouts and various materials, and the classifier
that afternoon. I plan to pick up several pizzas and we will have
drinks on hand, so we can grab a slice of pizza and head up to the
ranges at lunch. You get a free match pass for one regular monthly
match at completion of the class.
Next, Larry Bennett will need some help wiring in the new picnic
shelter once the deep freeze passes. If you can help him on that
project please contact him at larry....@bristolcompressors.com.
We need to get it finished by the June match.
Please sign up for the Google match mailing list. I was planning on
using it to alert everyone in the area for our upcoming matches and
any special problems or announcements. I would like to extend the list
to our “Big Brother” club in Greeneville, TAC2. If you want to comment
on IDPA, IPSC or other items of interest, of just BS, please feel free
to post on the Kettlefoot forum at http://www.kettlefootforum.com/
If you want to add your name or update your email address then go to

Thanks to all!
