tightloop Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Shot the IDPA classifier 2 years ago and had a 90 in ESP and a 92.34 in CDP. Shot it indoor and was having problems seeing my small front sight. Damn I wanted Master Class! Well, you are less than one second off in either category...find a club that is shooting it and just pick one category and shoot it..you will make it..too much pressure with two guns...one at a time and you'll do it..that is how I did it with three guns.. Mark has shot one IDPA match in his life and that was the classifier...... USPSA Single Stack for Mark..... Good idea Merlin...SS for Mark...

Sac Law Man Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I would be curious to see how many members made Master by being "bumped up" versus making it shooing the classifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tightloop Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Sorry, but do not do revolvers...CDP was a Commander in .45, ESP was a 1911 in 9mm, and SSP was a G17...actually did ESP twice once with a P7M8 and then they told me it would not qualify in ESP so shot it again with the 1911 in 9mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighVelocity Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I would be curious to see how many members made Master by being "bumped up" versus making it shooing the classifier. I would love to make master in SSR by getting bumped at a match. That would mean a lot more to me than doing it in a classifier. Unfortunately, I have yet to shoot a sanctioned match where there were enough SSR shooters for a bump to even be possible. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm shooting my next major match in CDP/SS, so that either I or someone else can get bumped. The way I've been shooting, it's probably going to be someone else.

If they told you it wasn't, they're mistaken. At the time I shot the classifier with it, there seemed to be some conflict about the action...the AC at the time declared it to be neither fish nor fowl, so instead of an argument, I shot it with the 1911 in 9mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskapopo Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Expert in ESP and SSP. I have shot the time to do it in CDP on my own but not in front of an RO. CDP is harder in my opinion. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 SSP MA - match bump at 2002 Nats (1st EX) CDP MA - match bump at 2003 Nats (1st EX) ESP MA - shooting the classifier I tend to do better at matches than the classifier. For example in 2003 I missed Master on the classifier a month or so before Nationals then won CDP EX by a large margin. Same thing in USPSA. I got bumped to A Open in 2006 by winning B at Space City but my Open classifier scores are still B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 If you are current IDPA member, what is your highest ranking in any division?In another thread the idea has been put forth that 8-percent-and-some-change of IDPA shooters are Master class. That would mean that one out of every 12 IDPA members is a Master class shooter. If I'm wrong I'll certainly be the first to admit it, but my immediate reaction is, "I am SO not buying that." I suspect that is nonsense (8% Masters), but I suspect your survey results here will, likewise, be nonsense. This forum is going to appeal to the higher level shooters, just as going to Glocktalk might convince you IDPA is all novice, marksman and "what's IDPA" shooters. The best indicator would be whether local matches have 1 in 12 masters, since that's going to draw the broadest range of competitors. Hint - they don't. Even checking major match results, I doubt that 1 in 12 will be a master, and those results will lean heavily toward the higher level shooters. You could also look here http://www.nepaidpascores.net/postal/index.htm The current postal match participants and last year's postal match participants should give you a pretty good idea of the whole IDPA membership, since it is a very larg sample taken at the local club level. Another question I would ask is simply "what does the person making the claim of 8% base that on?" He is the one citing a statistics, so the burden is traditionally on him to offer proof in support. Did he just look at the breakdown of competitors at the nationals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 I suspect that is nonsense (8% Masters), but I suspect your survey results here will, likewise, be nonsense. I was a bit shocked, actually, at the number - or lack thereof - of lower level shooters responding to this poll. Yes, it makes sense that a web site like this would attract a large percentage of the higher skill level shooters, but hell, when I was just starting out, if this place has been around I would have gotten speed burns running toward it.

Bob Hostetter Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Master in CDP, ESP, and SSP. Classified that way in each of them by shooting the classifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDRODA396 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Master in SSP. I've shot two matches and the Classifier. I shoot the Carolina Classic on Thurs, should be very interesting to see how I stack up against the hard corps IDPA crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickB Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Duane - I think the results of this poll are close to being the inverse of the actual numbers across all IDPA members. I'd bet Marksmen and Sharpshooters make up three-fourths of all shooters. And, the number of Masters is less than half the number of Experts. I've been running classifiers for almost nine years, sometimes thirty or forty shooters a year, and I still have yet to see anyone shoot a Master score. I've seen lots of Sharpshooters shoot Marksman scores, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
