I have 16 classifiers going in this month all shot in May & early June. I shot 5 classifiers on the same day and these will be the ones where the division for the most recent 8 will fall, based upon eliminating duplicates and those ones I tanked aka < 15% below my average.
The question is what is the selection process for 5 stages shot on the same day, will it be the highest, first submitted or stage #?
4 regular matches in May, a classifier with 5 stages, a classifier with 6 stages, and 1 regular match in June which the club said would go in this month. I believe they will do it since they have not sent any in this year.
Multiple classifiers on the same day will go in in *order submitted*. So in your case, most likely Stage number.

I thought they went in lowest first. That's how mine show up from a special a few months ago.

I picked up a NIB k-dot for $600 on gunbroker a few weeks ago.

Changing the targets won't make USPSA PC. We still run around with loaded handguns shooting things quickly. Steel challenge is as PC as a handgun sport can get, and I don't see the mainstream sponsors lining up.

'Code' may not be used in the US as we use it.
ie.Shooting has many codes; IPSC, USPSA,BULLSEYE AND AP. All pistol shooting but different 'codes'

Please define, or explain "code" as it relates to pistol shooting.

If I read the post you quoted correctly, you could replace it with 'discipline'.

Jay, lot #1930? It took me 3.7gr to get to 134PF.

6 mags should do it for L10. That's what I use for production. I have 4 on the belt, one barney, and one in the gun to start.

For RWRs, I carry an empty mag pouch on my belt, so it's actually pretty fast to slam the partial mag into the rather forgiving hole on a Blackhawk double stack mag carrier and then do your reload from there.
I read this as legal, but I wouldn't at all be surprised by someone giving you trouble over it.

Pretty much the only time I tac load in IDPA is when it's required. Either by the stage briefing, or due to activators etc. Every once in a great while there's an advantage to tac loading while moving behind cover, but it's pretty rare.

Solo 1000 varies a bunch from lot to lot. I got data from the forum that suggested 3.2gr with a 147 moly lead bullet, for 130ish PF. I ended up working up to 3.7gr to get 134 PF. Any time the lot changes, I'd start low and work up.

This is new to me. Granted, I'm new to competition shooting, so I'll have to look into this. Aside from trying a bunch of springs, is there a resource for this? I shoot 9mm 147gr. Federal Hi-Shock JHP. Hey, it's free, so I use it.
In that case, I probably wouldn't change springs. The reason a lot of people run lighter springs in competition is that they also run softer ammo.

The same thing happened to me. I shot a classifier match with 6 stages and got a percentage based on the top 4. This months update dropped the percentage by counting all six. Are you sure they were all Y last month?
-
Most of the matches I've been to the average age is over 50 for IDPA. They are not getting the 20-30 year old crowd at all.
This depends greatly on where you are, and how your club runs. There are tons of 20-30 shooters at my clubs. Maybe a discussion of shooter demographics merits its own thread.

So, if someone brings their child along and asks if they can shoot some stages with the 22, you'd turn them away? If they've demonstrated an ability to do so safely, I just don't see a reason. You could well be turning away 2 shooters, if the only way Dad can shoot is if he brings Junior along. I agree that local matches still need to follow the rules, but I don't know why you couldn't have a 'juniors 22 fun shoot' along side your IDPA match.
Yes. We strickly enforce a 9mm to 45acp policy. Apart from the minimum caliber and power factor rules, each one of our stages has steel activated moving targets. .22 won't cut it.
We have many matches in our local area to included Steel Challenge matches. Steel Challenge is the place for .22 rimfire, but even there THE MATCH is not the place to teach a child (or adult for that matter) to shoot. Learn to shoot first, then come to the match.
We don't have the capacity for side matches or fun shoots. Our match attendance pushes our time limits each and every weekend. "Shooter charity" detracts from everyone's match experience. We work well with new shooters and make them feel welcome, but like I said before, a match is not the place to learn how to shoot.
OK, fair enough. There's no Steel Challenge in the immediate area here, and our club matches don't have any capacity issues. I never said a match was a place for someone to learn to shoot; I'm not sure where that came from.
I agree 100% that there shouldn't be an official IDPA 22 division for the reasons stated. Would you agree that it's up to the local match director whether to allow someone to do it for fun alongside the IDPA match?

I won't turn away someone with a 22 at a local match (especially a junior), but they won't be shooting for score either. No place for it at sanctioned matches imo.

I have seen very little factory ammo not make power but I am sure in some guns it could not. We load DOWN below "combat loads" in general. (Open Excluded)
Cheap steel cased import ammo can be marginal sometimes. Also, nearly all factory 38 special ball ammo is sub-minor. Doesn't come up much in USPSA, but it does in IDPA.

Thinking Practical Shooting by Saul Kirsch
Refinement and Repetition by Steve Anderson
Along with Brian's book, these make up the big three for me. I'm just a D class about to move up to C, but since reading these and working the drills from Steve's book, I'm climbing up the match results.

Some one (it was either Linda Chico or another ace scoring person) reconstituted the scores as to what would have been the result had Daniel shot a minor rifle. In that reagard, is this matter not now moot?
I think the larger issue is defining just what factory quantity of 500 means regarding AR-15s. I'm in the process of building a new rifle that I may end up using for 3-gun/rifle matches (in tac optics). I'm building the gun on Anvil Arms receivers. Anvil sold complete rifles, but I have no idea how many or what configuration or if that mattered. My conclusion was that whatever the rule actually means, I see plenty of people with self-assembled franken-guns, so I wasn't going to worry about it. It would be nice to get some clarification of the rule though.

This was at a local match, but it fits right in with this thread. "Glocks are designed so you clear a squib by just firing the next round. It was an Austrian Army requirement."
-
just started shooting it.. i enjoy shooting it now, its still trigger time and the emphasis on accuracy is BRUTAL....
ICORE is even harsher. A B is 1 sec, a C is 2, and a miss is 5.
