Pistol Day at Central Whidbey

[GrumpyM4]

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly does one of these "pistol days" entail? Round counts, cost, equipment, etc.?

Still working out the schedule, but we're gonna be doing some drawing from concealment, malfunction drills, barricade drills and shooting from cover with movement.
Handgun/3-4 mags min, ff folks are WA CPL holders, their concealment holster should do, along with a single or double mag pouch, eye/ear and other basics.
If anyone doesn't have a CPL, it may be better to roll with a competition style holster, or OWB for red tapes sake.
From what I understand, we won't have access to the pistol bays till noon so I would guestimate the round count from 400-600 to be on the safe side.
We will likely get our grub on some pulled pork or some other masterful creation by Gitmosmoke, so you would wanna bring $5 bucks for that, and the club may require a $15 or so fee for day use.
Basically, it will be badass
We will be performing the days events in a 360 deg bay, which should allow us to do some 1 person area clearing type stuff, which will be awesome. I'm still working out the specifics with the Gitmo as to what kind of barricades, cover, props we can use.
Oh, and bring your rifle for the A.M.

Thanks for sketching this out Mook. So far, it seems like a good start. Personally speaking, the more work "from concealment" the better. Of course, as you mention, each of us can arrive with our individually suited setups.

Having never participated in this type of format, how will these exercises play out? Am I correct in saying that the 360 bay affords targets to the shooters front, right and left while a spotter/coach trails behind?

Thanks for all of your effort, spending plenty of time with the handguns will offer a fun change of pace and challenges.

If anyone can't make it before noon don't worry you shouldn't miss any of the training. With a rifle match on the long range and hunters safety in the morning we will be pretty limited on what we can do. Maybe an informal bowling pin match?
Right now we are almost at our limit for shooters (filled if stormrider is coming in). So if anyone can't make it please let me know so we can let someone else in.
It seems like everyone on the list has been here before so we don't have to worry about a huge safety brief, but since we are going to be moving in confined ares I suggest bringing body armor if you have it.
There will be a $15 range fee for all of the shoots at Central Whidbey, and if you want to partake of the BBQ bring an extra $5.

Hey--I'm only coming for the handgun portion. Does it still work if I just show up around noon?
