Trebor Snave Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) I just shot a Special last weekend and thanks to an abysmal performance I'll end up classed in D. I don't want to stay in D class, and a little friendly competition is a great motivator - so who wants to race me to C? shtr3 already let me know he's in, so at the moment it's: Trebor Snave A82155 Revolver - currently sitting at 29%, or I will be when the scores update in September. shtr3 A-81488, Limited, D classification - 37.6792% Anyone else want to play?

CE325 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I guess I will play! I haven't shot a classifier in over a year only a state match and 2 ProAms. But I will try to get to some local matches. A76086 Limited D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyOne Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 You lose! Been C for a year or two now! Really, it's not hard to make C....making B is much harder. I suggest setting your goals higher.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont come highjack the thread to show us that u have been a C class for """2""" years. Maybe "you lose". And maybe you just cant get to "B". But to the Almighty "Grumpy One" thanks for your beautiful insight and wisdom on where our goals should be set. You dont know any of our goals so take ur opinion and rotate on it.!!!!

johnsons1480 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 (edited) I don't know if I qualify, but I wouldn't mind jumping in. I shot my first USPSA match yesterday, and shot the "CM 99-62 Bang and Clang." I signed up for a USPSA Membership after the match, so my initial Production classification will hopefully be entered next month. At any rate, I shot the stage in 7.44 sec, and had one A and one C. If I did my calculations right, I had 27 points, 3.6290 HF, 33.0510%. So it looks like I'm starting in D. ETA: 1 A, 1 C, and 4 steel down Edited August 18, 2013 by johnsons1480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Snave Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 You won't be classified until you get 4 classifier stages into the system, but you're welcome to join in. Heck, if you pick up your averages a little bit, you might never be in D class. Let me know your USPSA number when you get it so I can keep track of you.

johnsons1480 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Ahh, I see. I misread how that works. I should have my number in about a week, I'll send it along to you when I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your goals should be attainable, but not so high as to be discouraging. Setting a goal for C class is almost like not setting a goal at all. As for me not getting to B class, perhaps because I'm only able to shoot 2 or 3 classifiers a year (I've shot 2 this year), well that might be an issue.

melissa5 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 OK, I'll play. Put me down as A77077 Open D 28.54%. I've been in D class since June 2013. My problem is that I'll shoot a really good classifier and then shoot a really poor one the next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know why I'm in D class I screwed up on a classifier match. And I have not had a chance to shoot another one since. I placed 2nd in a state match, 3rd in a proam, and just recent 1st in the proam. My goal I to make B class in the next classifier match. But I have to work the next match so who knows when I Can get there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38superman Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I'll race with you. I'm a B class shooter on a fast track to C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shtr3 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Everyones goal should be master or grandmaster imo also. I think you got take one step at a time. Shot a classifier today. If it woukd have been for me pulling the last shot by 1/2" and getting the alpha instead of the no shoot it woukd have been in like around a 50% national average. Sheet happens.

Trebor Snave Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 What this is doing is making me focus. The things that tripped me up last weekend are being worked on. The things I did well are being reinforced. Looking at the scores I see that while I'm winning or close to it on points, I'm losing on time - so go a little faster. All ammo is checked in the gun and I have enough on hand to easily handle the course of fire without having to reload clips. Of course my goal is to be as good as I can be, but my intermediate goal - the one I have RIGHT NOW is to make C class. When I make C, I'll be in the B class race the next day. I'm gonna be screwed when all the local clubs shut down for the winter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agney5 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) I'll join in, I shot a lot last year but this year time has not been on my side, (weddings, moving, work, school). Just did get my membership in March so still not classified. Now that things are settling down I have no reason not to get with it.

Trebor Snave Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Shot a good, solid D classifier today. Would have been a great one except for hitting those three white targets. Dangit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsons1480 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Ouch! I didn't shoot any no shoots on my first classifier, I just shot an A and a C as slowly as I could! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo-Hombre Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Good work guys! Don't let anyone tell you your goals are " too low" that is BS! The beauty of it all is that when you reach C you can reevaluate things and set a new goal. That may not necessarily be classification based.

trgt Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'll join - A81079. Not classified yet, but when recent matches post I'm sure I'll be solidly in D - Production. Funny thing is the marksmanship hasn't been half bad so far, I think I even had a stage well above 50%. But trying to absorb all the rules of the game - and execute at speed... extra shot for better score - oops - Virginia count not Comstock. And so on. In any case, the practice is fun, love the matches so far, and I can't wait until a lot of this is second nature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Snave Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 So, here's how it looks on the USPSA website this morning.
