On November 3rd, 2012, Music City Tactical Shooters will host our second annual Music City Cup II. Last year, this was highest attended sanctioned event in TN. Expect better and more challenging stages than last year. Standards stages will not be present and expect a high round count as last year. Registration is now open: http://www.mctsclub....itycup2012.html. The match is limited to the first 150 paid shooters. This number will not include any vendors, sponsored shooters, or match officials. Prize table will be present and better than last year. If you did not attend, you truly missed out!

Any questions or concerns can be directed to Michael Bresson, President Music City Tactical Shooters (President@mctsclub.com).

This was a fantastic match last year and promises to be even better this time.

The inaugural Music City Cup was a great match, and I'm sure that the Music City Cup II will be even better.

Last year's Cup was my first time to shoot a sanctioned match, and it was a tremendous (and humbling) learning experience. I would encourage anyone who enjoys IDPA but has never shot a sanctioned match to give the Cup II a try. The stages can be a bit intimidating as compared to a regular club match, but you will be surrounded by great SO's and a lot of experienced shooters who are ready and willing to both help and encourage you along the way. In the meantime, you can get some good practice for the Cup II by shooting one of the regular IPDA matches put on by the folks at MCTS. Their matches are always challenging and first rate, and there are folks who are new to the range or new to IDPA at every match.

If you are thinking about signing up for the Cup II, then do so quickly. It will fill up in no time.

See you in November!

Updated news: More sponsors for the prize table has been finalized. There will be more to come! Where else can you shoot an all day event(approx 200 plus rounds), good food(provided to all paid competitors), and prizes at random drawing?

Hope to see you there!

Just curious - I've never shot a "big" match before. How many stages can I expect, and what kind of round count?

[Mechanic_X]

Last year was 10 stages and around 180 round count. This year will be similar or bigger. But with an even more amazing prize table.
You must be an IDPA member with a current (within the last year) classification in the division you want to shoot. We will run a Classifier a couple of weeks before the Cup match. Legal gun, gear and ammo.
Get your paper work going. We will limit it to the first 150 shooters.

You will be disappointed in your shooting season if you miss this match!

[Mechanic_X]

Absolutely you will be. Amazing match, food, people, and a bunch of Master shooters to watch. Maybe a few DM's.
Sign up early for the discounted price.

Can you give DBTN a run for his money?

[jumprun13k]

I MUST get classified.

Stupid rain this weekend. LOL.

You should not tempt him with such an unrealistic goal.

[tnroadrunner]

Darn I maybe on an RV trip when this is on.

Let me add one more thing about last year's match. I met some amazing shooters and some of the nicest folks in the sport there. And even though I shot like Stevie Wonder on acid I had a great time. Count me in this year as well.

I met some amazing shooters

Thanks Robert for the compliment.

What does one have to do to be able to participate? Do you have to actually be any good? Is there a classification for "he shows up"?

I did actually join IDPA a couple of weeks ago; now that I'm almost done with my latest degree I actually have a little bit of free time (at least on some weekends).

All you really have to be is Classified in the sport and have the legal equipment. Everyone is broken down into their skill level, Marksman, Sharpshooter, Expert and Master so you only compete against people of relative skill. I shot my first major after just a few times at the local matches. I had a blast and it really inspired me to shoot more and improve. I encourage everyone to go to a major match for the experience and the Music City Cup is one of the best.

Sent in Monday, Can't wait to shoot it this year

[Rickey]

Me and my wheelgun will be there and probably with a whole new vocabulary by the time I'm done shooting.
