DADPL 2021 – 2022 Info

The 2021-2022 DADPL is being planned out, with a lot of similarities to what we did last year. Rob, Gar and Phil are planning the events and we are going to do 5 shoots, all on the second Saturday of each month, November – March (Feb will be First Sat). The course of fire will be different each month, with an emphasis on “real world” type defensive shooting scenarios. The shoots will feature, various distances, one handed, shooting around obstacles, thru windows, and shooting in the dark with only a flashlight! The FIRST shoot is scheduled for November 13th, 2021. We hope to see many of our regular and past participants at this shoot.

You can Sign up/registration for each shoot, beginning at 8:00am, or you can register for the season. There will be a Safety Briefing at 9:00am on the day of the shoot, with the course explanation, then competition beginning promptly following the briefing. All shoots will be completed by 1:00pm or earlier, depending on attendance, so plan your schedules accordingly. You need to be registered no later than 9:00am at each shoot.

You will need at least 50 rounds, or more, for each event. The league cost this year will be $30.00 if you opt to pay for the entire league when you sign up on the first shoot event, OR you may pay $10.00 for each one as you attend. Cash Awards for the Top 3 places (Total Scores for all 5 Matches) will be 33% of entry fees. You must have participated in ALL five (5) complete shoots to be eligible for awards. If you know of anyone who may be interested please pass this information to them. We plan to have another successful DADPL season!

6. New rule: Once a shooter is on the range, and the timer has begun, we ask there be NO talking or discussions behind the line of fire, as those are disruptive to the competitor.

2017-18 Winter League Invite
NOTES:
1. (11/21/2017) DADPL Course of Fire is described in the Invite Document.
2. (11/21/2017) Clarification: The Bonus Stage can only be used to offset ‘penalties’ accrued in stages 1 & 2. It cannot be used to lower the shooters base time.
3. (11/23/2017) Change: Stage 1 will have the targets at the 50’ line and shooters will fire from the mats at the 21’ line. This does not change the distance only the location. This is done to minimize potential damage to the backstops wood framework.
4. (12/20/2017) At the December shoot, the hostage targets were inadvertently left off during stage 2. This was discovered after 4 shooters had fired. In order to keep the stage equal for all shooters we elected to not use the hostage targets in stage 2 for the entire match. The hostage targets will be used at the January and subsequent DADPL shoots.
5. (1/12/2018) The Program shown below will remain the same throughout the 5 shoots, only the actual dates for each shoot will change.
6. Remaining Shoot dates are: February 18th, March 11th and April 15th, 2018.
7. The February shoot date was been changed from the 11th to the 18th, due to being too close to the PRSA Gun Show and a personal conflict.
9. Because some shooters were not able to make the original scheduled shoot dates the match bulletins will be revised as shooters are able to do make up shoots.
10. The revised bulletins have been posted for December, January & February shoots.
11. March 25th, 2018 is the final scheduled Make Up date, 12:00 noon to 4:00pm.
12. The final 2017-2018 season shoot will be on April 29th, 2018. Anyone needing to do make ups must fire them at that shoot. No make ups will be scheduled after that.
