If your range or club hosts any kind of event such as matches, training classes, social events, etc., then you need to take advantage of the Texas Shooting.com Event Registration Service, or ERS for short. Take it from someone who has used everything from a legal pad and pencil to complex Excel spreadsheets, ERS is a must for match and event planning and registration.
Reduce administrative workload for your matches, classes and events. When we started offering IDPA matches at PSC Shooting Club approximately 16 years ago, match registration was literally done with a pencil and paper. As the match grew, I started using an Excel spreadsheet, but this still required manually entering the name, classification, division and other information for each individual shooter. To say this was time consuming would be a gross understatement. From 2001 to 2006, PSC hosted the Texas State IDPA Championship and we were still using an Excel spreadsheet for match registration. It almost got to the point where I was dreading the rapid growth of both the state championship as well as our monthly matches.
Fast forward to 2013 and we are using an online registration system at PSC for most of our larger events such as monthly IDPA matches, the monthly PSC Women’s Program, 3 – gun matches, seminars, and most training classes. This system that has been limited to the PSC Shooting Club website and PSC activities is now available at TexasShooting.com. Whether you are the range owner, club officer, match director, instructor, or overworked volunteer, ERS will make your life much easier.
Those of us who plan events and handle registration know just how much goes into preparing for an event. It doesn’t matter if it’s a monthly match, a state championship, or social event, there’s more to logistics than most people realize. We must deal with capacity of our facility, staffing, match/event supplies, parking, 
water and sometimes even food. Planning these details means we need to know how many folks are coming as well as their names and other information to be used for name badges, score sheets, releases, parental permission slips, and other documents. While this can still be done with pencil and paper or an Excel spreadsheet, we can still ride a horse to work but most of us choose to drive a car rather than a buggy.Online registration with or without pre-payment; automatic confirmation email; automatic admin. email to match director or event coordinator and more!
