Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. 147 grn all the time for USPSA and 3 Gun.
  2. Check out Mike Seeklander's book Your Competetion Handgun Training Program. There are many other training programs out there this is just the one that I have been using lately. Brandon
  3. "Perhaps I did mention it to the RO and SO who were running the stage...." There is no such thing as an SO in USPSA you're thinking of IDPA... so much for the "attention to detail". This kind of thing tends to rub me the wrong way because the "Range Heroes" that care enough about something like this to post it on the internet are usually not the guys out setting up the match. They are usually the guys that get done shooting then "chuck duces" as they are running to their car so they don't have to help tear down a stage. As a guy that has run a few matches myself this is to all the "Range Heroes" out there please quit complaining at you local LVL 1 Match!!! If you don't like it show up to setup and help design some stages, run stats, help tear down, build some props, or do something else productive.
  4. No disrespect, but I disagree... Vogel, Sevigny, Seeklander, TGO, Butler, and Strader all compete in Production (along with other divisions obviously) and I could go on and on. Now the addition of KC ... I think it is overall the deepest division because the pros don't have to be a "specialist" to be competitive like Open or Revo. Production is purely based off skill because all of the equipment is very similar. It is up for grabs year in and year out. The only "match" that is deeper is the SS Nationals... that is because all the top Production guys shoot that match. Limited is the only division that you could make an argument being competitive with the overall talent pool of the Production division.
  5. This... took the words right out of my mouth.
  6. This and the focus on getting junior shooters competing in our sport. Everyone takes the time to mentor and teach these young kids at our local matches. It is good for the sport and our society by teaching gun safety, not the "fear of guns", and bringing in that new generation of Americans that are passionate about their 2nd Amendment rights for the right reasons. The action shooting sports are "family oriented" events that teach the values or responsibility and sportsmanship.
  7. For most USPSA Classifiers it is still important. For USPSA Field Courses it is not as important as it used to be in my section as the round counts continue to get higher on most Field courses, movement speed, transition speed, sight picture, stage planning, and clean/fast reloads are far more important. I would rather take 0.25 seconds longer on my draw on a field course and have a good grip on my gun right away than a faster draw. It is still, obviously, one of the most important skills for the SC game though. Just my $0.02.
  8. Speed is more important in USPSA than IDPA in the lower classifications (A-D). That is probably the biggest difference for me. Accuracy is still important, but I see a drastic change in my overall if I shoot more than 95% of points in USPSA that means that I am usually going to slow to be competitive. Everyone is different, but that is the biggest difference that I see in my game when I compare the 2.
  9. The age on the chart probably affects the stats... I don't see a lot of 35+ year old men playing hockey even at the professional level. For younger athletes I agree with you 100%. NEVERMIND I'M STUPID SOMEONE ALREADY SAID THIS!!!
  10. +1 on this.. Limited and Production are the 2 divisions with the "overall" deepest pools of "talent" at most clubs/sections I've shot at. Open is a wide mix, who cares about revolver (I kid ), and L10 is just a silly division unless you live in a state with a ban on high capacity mags.
  11. This is what I have been told also. If this is a huge issue to you I suggest calling your Area Director and seeing if this is the case. I would have to join 6 clubs in my section just to shoot all my local matches... insanity!!! I don't make that kind of money and I don't know many shooters that do!!!
  12. Hi All, For all USPSA shooters that will be in the Seattle Area 29 Jan 2012 we will be hosting a Lvl 1 charity match with all proceeds going to the Point du Hoc Foundation at Paul Bunyan Rifle & Sportman's Club in Puyallup, WA. The Point du Hoc Foundation is a charity dedicated to honoring the memory of all fallen Rangers from 2nd Ranger Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment and is actively raising money for a memorial which is scheduled to be built on Ft. Lewis, WA later this year honoring their memory. The match will be 6 stages with 5 field courses and 1 classifier. The match fee is the standard $20. Expect round count to be around the standard 150 rounds. All are encouraged to come and bring a new shooter. I will be conducting a "safety check" for any new shooters at 0800 the morning of the match. This is a great way to kick off the 2012 shooting season by having some fun and raising some money for a worthy cause honoring our fallen Rangers. Hope to see you there. -Brandon 5 W's Who: All USPSA shooters What: 6 stage Lvl 1 Charity Match When: 29 January 2012 0800 New Shooter Safety Check, 0900 Registration, 0945 RO Walk Through, and 1000 Start Shooting Where: Paul Bunyan Rifle and Sportsman's Club 17902 Meridian East Puyallup, WA 98375 Why: To raise money for a good cause honoring our fallen Rangers and their families
