What’s New: 

• The dates for the CCS Championships match are currently set for Jul 17-18.  This conflicts with the NW Challenge (Multi-gun).  The CCS board will consider a date change at the next board meeting.
   
• News from Ben Bock of Eugene:

  The USPSA at Izaak Walton League range (Eugene Practical Shooters; www.eugenepracticalshooters.com) will have the first match on March 7th, the first Sunday.  This is as announced at ARPC match.
   
  After that the following changes will be in effect:
   
  Then they will be shooting USPSA the 1st Saturday, steel match 2nd Saturday, and IDPA 3rd Saturday.  This means that starting in April, they will be shooting USPSA on the 1st Saturday.  This is to fit in well with other CCS matches, and also per request of  many shooters who are in church services on Sunday.

• Two items from Bend:

      1.    First IPSC match of the year will be April 10th. Because of low participation out here in Bend our IPSC matches are usually five stages. We set up three bays and re-set two of the stages for a total of five stage events. Consequently, there are no shoot-throughs, but it works for our shooters.

      2.    CPS is now in its steel match season, which goes through March. Steel matches are fired the first and third Saturdays starting at 10:00 AM. The stages are varied with one or two Speed Steel-type events and and what we call IPSC steel. It's fun!
