USPSA Member Numbers

Recommended Posts

I have noticed two types of USPSA #'s. Mine is A59030. It has a single letter A in front. Then others are like TY_____. Am I retarded, or does this mean something?

Thanks, Sorry for the weird question.

Not a dumb question, it does actually mean something and I didn't know this when I started:

'A' - Annual Member

'TY' - Three Year Member

'L' - Life Member

They may be others but I'm not really awake yet and can't remember...... :closedeyes::D

"B" - Benefactor

FY = five year and then there are the foreign prefixes FA = Foreign Annual etc.

You cal also tell how long a person has been a member by the number,

like mine A-793, been around almost as long as black powder.

What happens to the numbers when someone does not renew their membership? Can you get an old number back?

I got my origional USPSA # in 1992 I did not shoot USPSA for over 12 years and renewed and kept my old # TY18956

But it is imbarasing when I go to a shoot and shoot so slow.

I was sort of disapointed I lost my old number. I had a fairly low number by today's standards, and had it memorized.

I went from a16577 to l2902. I would have been perfectly happy with it l16577.

Blah, oh well. Thats one bill I don't ever have to pay again is how I look at it.

No, Gene. You simply started when there was one division and almost every gun was a single stack.

I feel your pain, my annual # was 135, the life is 4 times that. I don't think they had CAL back then though.

At least the Life Membership was a good buy for me, so was the NRA Life.

If you "upgrade" from an annual "A" to a three year "TY" does your number stay the same...TY to L?

Thanks in advance!

Anual to three year or to five year, your number stays the same. You will get a new number when you upgrade to life.

Guess I'll be upgrading to CAL.

I checked the database for the count on some of the interesting prefixes. These counts are for ALL members, not just those with current memberships.

CA - 56

CL - 138

CAL - 1

B - 33

RD - 4

S - 1

I suggest you call Dave Thomas just to confirm CAL stands for what I think it does (I'm reasonably sure it does, however, I was shocked to find only one CAL number in the database).

Can you actually update your membership and pay your dues online?

I couldn't figure out how to do that???

-Cuz.

Cancel that. I knew I'd find it right after I posted this message.
