Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. I've had a couple of email/messages since I posted yesterday. I must reiterate that applications must be submitted through your Region Director, and, of course, it goes without saying that your Region must be in good standing. The procedure to register really isn't too much of a problem and it will prove to be a great experience. For those of you outside of Europe you should find the currency exchange rate working in your favour!
  2. Open Division isn't much different to USPSA Open other than limits to capacity. Standard and Standard-Manual Divisions are close to USPSA Standard Division. Modified is unique to IPSC. In reality it's not much of a problem in adapting. The match will be great and your welcome assured. If you can make it it will be well worth the trip.
  3. There are still a few slots available for this match (match capacity 600 main match + 200 in pre-match) and the organizers have advised that they can extend the deadline into June. It promises to be a great match - Around 400 rounds 30 stages (20 birdshot, 5 slug, 5 buckshot) You will need to apply through your RD but there are now no limits on number of entries per Region. This is the inaugural world championship for IPSC Shotgun and should prove to be something quite special. Match Website - Click Here
  4. Not easily, IMO. There was a video and a PowerPoint presentation. All 4 spoke but Frank Garcia and at least one of the others spokes 2 or perhaps 3 times. The presentation lasted over 15 minutes and covered accommodation, visas, permits, hospitality, the opening ceremony, the closing ceremony, the IPSC Assembly, tourism, families. The State of Florida was significantly involved and the team had the backing of great many people, including (as I saw it) local government (and the Governor to some extent at least). At this match level presentations are generally good, and getting better as time goes by, but like I said, this was an excellent presentation by any standard.
  5. September and October were the months mentioned in the presentation. Final dates to be confirmed after further discussion. Thailand's presentation was good but the presentation of behalf of the US was superb, very slick, very professional. If I'm honest I'm surprised the vote was as close as it was - I would have expected a few more votes for the US on the presentation alone. The US team (4) deserve your congratulations - they put in a huge amount of work in their presentation. Judging by what I saw it promises to be an excellent event. Hell, the shooting will be pretty good as well!
  6. What is the current capacity restriction, if any, for USPSA SG Open Division?
  7. Not only does 8.1.1.2 stipulate that the action will be closed but the divisional tables also restrict Option 2 starts to 8 rounds. See below: 9. Capacity restrictions for initial load prior to the start signal Max. of 9 rounds loaded Max. of 8 in the case of Rule 8.1.1.2
  8. Shotgun varies from HG and rifle in that in Rule 3.2.1, the rule that discusses minimum information in a written briefing, it states: "Minimum number ofrounds (stated for guidance only):" This acknowledges that on occasions competitors could complete the C of F without firing the supposed minimum rounds based on the number of targets/hits required. Hence "for guidance only". The rules are recognizing that you can score 2 targets with one shot. If this situation presents itself due to an oversight in the stage build then, IMO, it's poor design. However, some stage designers might choose to tempt people with the double but if clever should not make it too easy.
  9. No penalty. It's legitimate to score hits on 2 separate targets from a single shot. The relevant IPSC rules are posted below (9.5.1.1 and 9.5.6.1. Rule 9.5.6 will not apply in this case and is only included for completeness). Please note that you actually have to hit both targets to avoid the FTE penalty. If you try for it and miss one of the targets then you get both the misses and the FTE penalty. The proof of the pudding (engaging both with one shot) is in the hits. 9.5.1.1 If two or more targets receive scoring hits as a result of a single shot they will both, or all, be scored normally. See Rule 9.5.6. 9.5.6 A competitor who fails to engage the front of each scoring target in a course of fire with at least one round will incur one procedural penalty per target for failure to engage the target, as well as appropriate penalties for misses (see Rule 10.2.7). 9.5.6.1 A competitor will not incur failure to engage penalties where two or more targets receive scoring hits as a result of a single shot. See Rule 9.5.1. If a competitor fires less shots at a target array than the number of targets in that array, and one or more target(s) does/do not receive scoring hits then failure to engage penalties and misses will apply as appropriate.
  10. The match is scheduled for mid September at the moment but this is subject to some fine tuning. 8 days in country would do but a couple of extra days would make it a bit easier. You will shoot for 4 days out of the 6 match days giving 2 days off for rest and/or sightseeing. Shoot-offs and closing ceremony will be on Day 7. At the start you will have registration and the Opening ceremony., hence why I suggested adding an extra couple of days. The match organizer will be very obliging in trying to cater for anyone working to a tight time frame, including some who might request shooting on days 3-6 because they can't get there early. That said it would be a great shame to miss being part of the whole thing.
  11. Hi Ron

    Likewise. We loved Kentucky and would certainly visit again given the chance.

    Hope you can make the World Championship in Hungary in 2012. That should be one heck of a good match.

    Kind regards

    Neil

  12. Neil,

    It was a pleasure to meet and shoot with you at the Pan Am match. I hope you and you wife had a good time here and a safe trip back home. My e-mail is ronswin@yahoo.com.

  13. That's odd. My Rem slugs are dead on out to 50+ yards. What lot # are yours? I'm using Remington Slugger Managed Recoil Slugs. I know a couple of the other Brits are experiencing similar performance issues. Guns = Remy 1187 (me) and Remy 1100 the other guys. Bead sights only. We usually shoot S & B slugs back home. Sorry! Don't have any near me right now so can't quote the batch #.
  14. Hi I brought about 10 or so shirts with me (XL) that I'm happy to give away to anyone who wants some. These go back to include World Shoot 10 and more recently Indonesia 2004, ESC06 and ESC09 plus a couple of UKPSA shirts. I've worn a couple this week to cut down on my luggage so they'll need a wash but otherwise all in good condition and a couple of them are unworn. I'm with squad 9 if any of you want to make yourselves known.
  15. Early feedback suggests competitors are really enjoying the match so far. For many, shooting stages like these and in this environment is a new experience. Some stages are biting competitors. Some easy looking stages haven't proved so simple in the shooting. It's difficult to call the first day, especially because people are shooting different blocks of stages, but Kurt Miller (US), Roberto Vezzoli (IT), Robert Romero (US) and Mike Darby (UK) jump out from the stage results as being right up there. Still a long way to go. I'm shooting like a moron. A pathetic and disappointing performance. 10 down 20 to go. Big slug day tomorrow. Remington slugs seems to be dropping 15-18 inches and perhaps 6 inches right at 90 yards. Far from ideal. Very humid. Hot. Heavy rain shower today.
