Saw it wasn't yet posted on the USA Shooting website so I'll post it here.

There's a PTO in Austin next weekend at the University of Texas ROTC range.

Directions available here: http://www.txis.com/~brad/utrpc/

Air Pistol
Free Pistol
Standard Pistol
Sport Pistol
Rapid Fire Pistol

No squadding. Air Pistol starts around 8:30am each day and we go from there.

$16.00 allows you to shoot every event, both days if you want.

I believe Phil also supports Air Rifle and 3-Position smallbore if anyone wants to shoot that.

UT PTO....What about the PARKING SITUATION!

Matt,

Has Phil scheduled for parking areas or permits? Those tickets can be expensive.

Also the last time I shot (March) I had to walk four blocks (finding a parking spot) and was stopped twice by campus cops. Each time I was searched. Each time they freaked until I showed them the printed PTO match posting off of the USA Shooting site and then they left me alone.

I also got a ticket at the March match but Phil said to give it to him and he'd take care of it. As best as I know he got it taken care of. In that case, he had approved parking permits, they just hadn't arrived by match day. I think typically Phil does get the permits in time, that month being one of the exceptions.

I usually arrive by 8:15am and drive straight to the range and unload my stuff, then go hunting for a parking space, so I don't have to carry my eqiupment across campus (or provide any explanations...).

Being that it's summertime I don't think parking will be as big an issue as it was in March.

Hope this helps and hope to see you there.
