Thanks for posting this. I've been wanting to try competing. Are red dot sights permitted in either or both of these competitions, Dave? I'm a newbie to competing, needless to say.

Greetings,

ISU UIT ISSF matches are traditionally iron sight.

Contact the Match Director for more specifics.

I did see one new shooter firing in the Standard Pistol Match with a Red Dot. I believe it was for "fun" just to experience how the course of fire was conducted.

Cheers,

Dave

Rob runs a great match. It's friendly, low key and at a very nice range. Come join in!

Cheers, Steve

Thanks guys. I thought as much, but it looked like the NRA rules allow optical sights in Open Class for Standard Pistol. I'll have to give it a try today at the range. I think I'm just OK with a red dot (I seem to be able to keep 50 rounds in the black on an A8 at 20 yards with 2 or 3 flyers - I'm sure not with the same consistency and accuracy as others who compete), but these old eyes don't serve me too well as far as precision shooting goes if I have to rely on iron sights....especially blacked out target sights at an indoor range. I seem to do fine with my defensive pistols with three dot sights, but that's not precision shooting. Anyway...I'll try a bit of practice with iron sights with a .22 at distance and see how it goes. Running the course just for fun definitely sounds appealing to get a sense of what it's like.
