IPSC FAQ

Q:  Gun handling.
A:  Tri County Gun Club is a "Cold" Range. You can unbag and handle your firearm(s) only in a Safety Area or under the direct supervision of a range officer. There are two Safety Areas at our facility. 1. is across the road from the range 1, range 2 area.. The other is between range 5 and the rifle garage. You may work on your firarm(s), take sight pictures and dry fire (in a safe direction). NEVER handle live or dummy ammunition while in a Safety AREA - That is viewed as a MATCH DISQUALIFICATION.
 
Q:  Do I have to be a USPSA member to shoot your matches?
A:  No. You can shoot our matches but you can not become classified unless you do. You will be put in the "Unclassified" category at registration and will be competing against the best shooters at the match, not those of similar skills. We recommend becoming a member of USPSA. We have membership information available at our matches and will help you get registered. Current annual membership is $40

Q:  Where can I find more information on shooting IPSC/USPSA matches?
A:  One of the best places is www.uspsa.org you will find titles like How do I get started", "Where can I find more info." A copy of the rulebook (top tab) is on USPSA web, it is downloadable. This will help you determine what class your equipment will fit into or what equipment you need as well as most other info that we use to run our matches.
