  1. This is not a USPSA problem  this is a local problem. In my area we have 25-35 yd targets in every match. Seldom have movement more than 15 yards without shooting. If your local club puts on a crappy match shoot elsewhere or step up and help run a better match.

    Accuracy-   There are DAMN few tests like the 50 yard standards.    There is no room for sight or trigger error at 50 yards.  Yes the hosers would while like a jet turbine if we brought that back.

     

    Speed-  In the early 90's, my number is 177XX, it was speed to recover between shots as much as speed of movement, at least in the area I shot.  As the game has turned into a movement test that has been weighted almost too much.

     

    Power-   I cant argue with what has been written-  It takes work to develop the technique to manage a major limited gun, and honestly I dont have the time for that so I take the Minor penalty.

     

    USPSA today is NOT about shooting- it is about Gun handling.  Moving, reloading, draws etc are not "Shooting" they are what we do to get to the shooting, and done on the clock.

     

    This will send some off the deep end- but one way re-rebalance the three parts of the DVC triad is to make it score divided by (time x 3) with Major and Minor in all divisions, except for single position speed shoots where time would be as now.   The tablet could do the math for us.  The net result would be to push folks to A's while minimizing the weight of speed.   Fast shooting- recoil management and recovery- would be rewarded in speed shoots and movement time would be less weighted in long courses.   I doubt the real top echelon would be impacted much, though I'd like to see how the other 97% of shooters stacked up.

     

    Yes I know it will never happen.

    All that would do is change hit factor.3x 15 seconds is still half as much as 3x30 seconds slow will still be slow .
