Go!| New Storage Trailer System
Posted on Friday, January 13th at 12:14:39 PM |
|
Fellow SDPS members:
The club has started a new way to properly store the stage props after each match. I have mounted large numbers, 1, 2 and 3 on our storage trailers. The red/brown trailer is #1, the yellow trailer next to it is #2 and the yellow trailer in the new section (bays 1 to 3) is #3. I have also numbered all of the props, Bianchi Barricades, pepper poppers, moving target holders with the numbers to correspond to the trailer it is supposed to be stored in (1, 2, 3). The stage designers and SO's on each squad are now responsible to make sure that the props and equipment are stored in the correct trailer after each match. This process was prompted because the equipment was being stuffed or thrown into any trailer in a "helter scelter" manner and when we needed to find a certain piece of equipment/prop, we had to search all three trailers. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Wayne Johnson, SDPS VP |

SDPS will be having a classifier match on the Saturday before each monthly match in Bay 8 at The Sacramento Valley Shooting Center Action Pistol Range.

The fee for this match is $10.00/shooter to cover range fees and materials, and covers one classifier. Additional classifiers may be shot at $5.00/ea, but must be arranged prior to the match so we can alot our time accordingly. Please contact Robert Sharp at < r_sharp01@yahoo.com > to reserve a spot.

| MD, AMD, Stage Designer Responsibilities
Posted on Saturday, October 8th at 04:57:52 PM |

SDPS Members,
Based on complaints that stages are not being shot consistently from squad to squad during our monthly matches, I am making the following changes to our match director and stage designer responsibilities. Regards, Duane Chinnow SDPS President < PLEASE NOTE THE _NEW_ STAGE DESIGNER RESPONSIBILITIES > Match Director responsibilities: Overall responsibility for acquiring approved stage designs, assigning stages to specific bays, coordinating completed set-up of all stages by 8:30 AM on match day, successfully completing the SO walk-through before 9am, and resolve any match day issues/concerns. MD will shoot through the match to maximize their availability to discuss any issues that arise during the match. (match fee $0) a) Assign the stage designs to specific bays (due to limitations of certain bays, it might be helpful to assign the bays prior to the designs completion). Balance assignments to avoid backups on match day (for example two complex stages next to each other). b) Collect the designs from the stage designers, standardize format as much as practical, and submit to John Mercurio (jmerc1343@yahoo.com) 2 weeks prior to the match for approval. c) Coordinate any requested changes with stage designers with final approval 1 week prior to match date. d) Coordinate and plan set-up of the stages prior to the 8:30 AM SO walk through on match day. (Saturday PM setup prefered) e) Attend the SO walk through at 8:30 with stage walk throughs given by the stage designers. f) Be the final authority to resolve any issues on match day which cannot be resolved by the stage designer. Assistant Match Director responsibilities: (Most likely one of the stage designers) Assist the MD in completing the tasks prior to and during the match. Stand in for the MD if they are unavailable. (match fee $5) Stage Designer responsibilities: Responsible for designing, setting up, managing, and tearing down one stage of the match. The stage designer will shoot their stage with the first squad on their stage, then shoot-through the match in order to remain in the bay to resolve issues and insure consistency for the rest of the squads. (match fee $5) a) Submit one stage to the MD for the match and work with the MD to resolve any approval issues raised during review. b) Have stage set up in time for 8:30am SO walk-through on match day, resolve any walk-through issues. c) Perform all (6) squad walk-throughs during the match, be available to resolve any questions/issues on their stage during the match. d) Supervise the tear down of their stage by the last squad and see that props are returned to the correct storage locations. __._,_.___ |
| Pizza and Prize Match Policy
Posted on Tuesday, August 24th at 06:29:35 PM |

Fellow SDPS members:
This will be the new policy for the Annual Pizza & Prizes (P&P) Match in August. The match fee will be an extra $5.00 to enter at $20.00. All members who attend the match that day can attend the Pizza & Prizes for pizza, salad and soft drinks. Family members or guests who did not shoot the match must pay $5.00 to cover the food cost. I am keeping a Excel spred sheet: "Match Attendance" of SDPS members who have attended our matches each month from the July match to the June match. I have started this as of the July 2010 match. You must have attended at least 50% of the matches during that period to be eligible for a ticket for the prize table drawing. If we have 12 matches, at least 6 must be attended, 11 matches: 5 matches, 10 matches: 5 matches, 9 matches: 4 matches and so on. I will send out the spred sheet to all members in January at the half way point and again in middle June for all to peruse for errors to be corrected by the August P&P match. I will be drawing from the "A" can first and then the "B" can for the prize drawing table. The way you can get into the "A" can is to be, a Match Director (M/D), Assistant Match Director (AM/D), attend work parties, volunteer projects, special projects and SDPS BOD member. I will be the final judge of who gets into the "A" can. Wayne Johnson, Vice President |

| Squad Sign In Policy
Posted on Thursday, June 10th at 09:33:28 AM |
|
This is the new squad sign in policy to keep the squads balanced.
1) You may not sign up a group of shooters unless they are all present at the range. 2) If you get to the range and the squads are filling up fast, you may still be split up to balance the squads (get to the range early with your group, 8-8:30AM). 3) The squad sign up sheet will then be given to each squads SO's. Each squads SO's / ASO,s will check the score sheet count against the sign up sheet count and if they do not match, they will do a head count to see who is not supposed to be on their squad. 4) The shooters who are not supposed to be on that squad will have to see the Match Director to be split up evenly among the other squads. Keeping the squads balanced helps the flow of the match. Wayne Johnson, Vice Pres. |
| KPDT Knife Class

KPDT Class
SDPS member Craig Hokama conducted a two part 8 hour class on KPDT (Krueger Personal Defense Training) with his assistant Edson Mejia at the range and at Edson’s home due to the wet range conditions. Allen Lowe, Eric Dean and myself attended this class from SDPS. This Basic 1 Course was what I wanted in a simple method of self defense with a knife or open hands, being that I have always carried a knife even when I could not carry my CCW weapon. It is NOT a “Now I are a Ninja Fighter” class. These are very easy to learn steps. With just seven simple “Solutions”, I could Evade, Deflect, Stop and Retreat from any attack with a knife or club. Each Solution takes no more than 3 seconds to execute. It takes you from the “OH CRAP” hands up wide eyed reaction to a pre-programmed reaction skill set to what ever the attacker is presenting to you. Craig is a very patient thorough instructor. He talks about positive Mind Set, Criminal Mind Set and mentality, after incident conduct, the court system and how to protect yourself from self incrimination. The class was well spent money. I have taken other knife classes and this is the easiest to learn and practice and a lot less expensive. The only slight down side for me personally was at almost 72, my knees were barking at me after the first class. You do a lot of side stepping, stopping, step- slide, advance, retreat foot work. I didn’t have to execute any ballet type, leg swinging, jumping, screaming Ninja Fighter moves. I would recommend this class to all reasonably fit coordinated SDPS members. Craig will work with you on when and where to conduct a class. Contact Craig at (916) 524-6085 or at < www.KPDTmenofcourage.com > Wayne K. Johnson, SDPS Vice President |

| Club Second Gun Policy
Posted on Monday, October 2nd at 08:12:58 PM |
|
Resolved:
1)The second gun will be a different gun and not the same as the primary gun. 2) if it is a semi-auto, it must be shot after the primary gun on each scenario at a entry cost of $5.00. It will be a " Fun Shoot " only for no awards. It will be scored in the Unclassified category. 3) If it is a revolver, It may be shot at anytime as a " Fun Shoot " for $5.00 _OR_ $15.00 for an award. IDPA headquarters has no second gun policy and leaves any second gun policy up to the individual clubs. Wayne Johnson, Vice Pres. |
