Carbine Shoot:

UCOA Multigun

First off YOU DO NOT NEED ALL 3 GUNS TO SHOOT OUR MATCHES.
If you have a rifle and pistol you can shoot the shotgun stages with your pistol. Our goal is to get as many shooters to the club for matches as possible. Also due to the economy and ammo prices rim-fire caliber pistols and rifle are allowed at the matches. There are no divisions as it is "run what you brung" I don't see much sense in buying quality equipment and not being able to shoot it.

For those of you who do not know we have a multigun match once a month at our club. Tentative dates for this year so far are April 10th, May 15th, June 12th, July 10th. We will have dates for August, September, and October soon. The matches are held at the U.C.O.A. club in Findlay, OH located at 6943 Twp Rd 243. The matches start at 12:00 p.m. and setup starts at 8 a.m. and anyone that helps setup and tear down shoots for free. The cost for the match is $25.00 per shooter. The match is limited to 40 shooters so contact Paul to let him know you will be shooting. The matches consist of one rifle stage, one shotgun stage, and one pistol stage and there will also be 2 multigun stages consisting of rifle/shotgun, shotgun/pistol or pistol/rifle. Rim-fire caliber pistols and rifles are allowed at the matches. The match is "loosely" based on a I.D.P.A. match. We use I.D.P.A. targets and scoring. This is a great chance for shooters to become more familiar with all of their weapons and put them into realistic scenarios. The maximum round count for the matches is 150 rounds rifle, 50 rounds pistol 25 rounds birdshot and 25 rounds of slugs. New shooters should arrive by 11:30 for a safety overview. We will be using the 100 yd range for the rifle stage at a few of the matches this year. Anyone that has questions can feel free to email paul.ruhland@ucoa-findlay.com

Paul Ruhland is the Match Director and he can be reached at paul.ruhland@ucoa-findlay.com.

Once you have received your NRA Basic Pistol certification you have three years to apply for your CCW license, after that you will be required to retake the class. Once you have your CCW license your NRA Basic Pistol certificate is good for 6 years from the date you completed the class. Your Ohio CCW license is good for 5 years. Go to www.ag.state.oh.us for more information.

NRA re-certification for NRA certificates is scheduled for OCtober 25 at 2:00 PM at the UCOA. Fee is $20. You must provide us with your original certification, have your own gun and 50 rounds of ammo. You must know the safety rules, name the various parts of the gun and demonstrate competences in handling the firearm while shooting.
