2017 Pre-Season Update
February 16th, 2017 | 
Author: The IPSC/USPSA shooting season doesn’t (officially) start at Wayne County Raccoon Hunters (WCRH) until April and already things are buzzing along.
Construction on the new bays has been on-going through the winter and everyone is hopeful that they will be ready in time for our first match. – scheduled for April 23. They are significantly larger than our other bays so get ready for some longer shots and plenty of movement. The bays have taken up some parking space so…
We will continue to use the Practiscore pre-registration this year. If you are not on the list to receive the email updates you should send your information so that you are alerted when registration opens. If you show up at a match and did not pre-register you will not be squadded unless someone who was registered doesn’t show. If you register – show up! We understand that life happens and will overlook an occasional no show. A call before the match is appreciated so we can notify people on the wait list of openings. Our matches are the best thing you can do in south-east Michigan on the fourth Sunday of the summer months and we want to provide the opportunity to participate to as many as possible. Habitual no-show offenders will be given notification and squadded last for future matches.

Canadian IPSC shooters are welcome at our matches and will need to complete the appropriate forms before crossing the border with their guns & ammo. The Invitation Letter for Michigan’s USPSA matches is available to download and print from the link below. There are other forms to complete and procedures that visiting shooters must follow. Contact Roy or one of your fellow Canadians for the details. Be sure to leave extra time to cross the border when transporting your guns and gear – sign in for our matches closes at 09:30 and shooting starts at 10:00 a.m. whether everyone’s there or not.
WCRH is proud to have enough member RO and CROs to assign to each squad at our matches. This allows visiting shooters the opportunity to have fun without the distractions of ROing or scoring your friends. We certainly do appreciate the help that visiting ROs and CROs offer, however. If you want to take the level 1 – RO or level 2 – CRO NROI training now is the time to pencil it in.
A Level 1 – RO class is (tentatively) scheduled for 8-9 April – location to be determined
A Level 2 – CRO class is confirmed for 4-5 March at Oak Hill Gun Club. The cost is $40 (US) and you can register here
We will post the Level 1 class details on our Facebook page as soon as they’re confirmed.
The USPSA group at WCRH will continue to host open practice on Thursday evenings. If you’re new to the sport check out the new shooter overview then show up with your gear. We love bringing new shooters into the sport and think that the best time to learn is at a low-stress practice session – not a match. There isn’t an official start date for practice so keep an eye out here, on Facebook, or subscribe to receive updates in your email’s in box.
We look forward to seeing you this summer!
P.S.
If USPSA-style shooting is too fast or competitive for your liking or being up on Sunday mornings isn’t your thing, check out the WCRH’s IDPA program. Like us, they are a nice group of people that are happy to introduce new shooters to their sport. No matter what sport you choose at WCRH safety is our first concern followed by fun.

Spring Work Day
It may not seem like spring with snow falling and temps dipping into the 20s but…
Rain, shine, sleet, or snow; the outdoor pistol shooting season is upon us. There is only five weeks before the first IPSC66 match of 2013 on April 28. To be ready for another amazing season of safe shooting fun please remember the following dates and events:
March 28-30: RO/CRO Class
If you registered for the class plan to attend. These classes were open to all USPSA members and invitations extended to many Michigan and Ohio clubs. South east Michigan will have no shortage of level I and II certified range personnel for any USPSA matches in the area.
April 4: Thursday Night IPSC/USPSA Practice begins
All shooters (including non-members) that attend IPSC66 are encouraged to attend practice nights. The road gate into Wayne County Raccoon Hunters is opened approximately 5:30 PM and shooting goes until 8:00 PM. The group will set up one to two practice stages designed to simulate conditions encountered at a sanctioned USPSA match. Practi-Score system is used so you can see your scores improve.
New shooters are strongly encouraged to attend at least one practice night before attending a USPSA match. Safety is priority one. Attending a practice night will allow a reduced stress environment and one to one instruction with a certified range officer to learn the range commands and gear requirements.
April 6: Wayne County Raccoon Hunters spring work day
The IPSC/USPSA group has a list of items they plan to do including: building new walls, fixing old walls, repairing target stands, and building dog houses for steel. Members with building skills and tools should plan to help as possible. Other members assistance will be needed to “spring clean” the equipment storage. In Roy’s usual, he plans to take everything out, sort, and return to its designated place. Other work day jobs are needed for members with all physical levels. This day will give the USPSA practical pistol group a chance to work with other club members for betterment of everyone’s WCRH experience.
April 27: Set up for USPSA match
Last year the organization and cooperation shown by club members and non-members alike to set up matches was amazing. With Roy’s announcement, it would be great if interested members would like to get involved with the match planning meeting that occur earlier in the week. Help is always appreciated and counts towards club hours.
