Sees Sights Lift

Sees Sights Lift (7/11)

  1. Changing Division rules is a long process. The Board will use 2024 to gather member feedback. The earliest any change could take effect would be January of 2025.
  2. The questions that will be put to the membership have not yet been determined. Feel free to post your proposed questions here. I'll make sure the Rules Committee has a chance to review them. It's likely that it would be easier to allow optics or irons than to add a new Division. But that would be a Board decision.
  3. RED Hill certs.

    Both for $30 correct.

     

    Do you know if I need the certs or just codes?

     

    I will send funds through P/P 

    what is account address?

     

    Thanks

  4. I'll take both LOK certificates for $30 each

    Let me know your Zelle info and I'll make payment right away

  5. Still have the certs for LOK Grips?

  6. The stage I worked at Iron Sights Nationals was a fixed-time stage...with turning targets, so no timer was used at all. That worked very well and allowed us to run four shooters at a time and get through entire squads in about 12 minutes. With other fixed-time stages the second beep can be an issue, as you note. It is certainly a best practice, basically mandatory, for the RO to be near the shooter for the second beep. However, even if the RO does his/her job correctly, it can still be hard to hear the second beep, particularly if a shot is fired at the exact moment of the second beep. One thing that mitigates problems with not hearing the second beep is that the penalty for overtime shots is just 5 points (it's the only 5-point procedural in USPSA), so if you shoot alphas with your overtime shots we basically just take away the alphas. On turning-target fixed-time stages, like the one I worked at Nationals, there are no overtime penalties. I have heard that AMG is working on a speaker/bullhorn type of device that can be used in conjunction with their timer for fixed-time stages.

  8. I pay $3 per participant when I run one classifier and $1.50 per participant when I have no classifier. A screenshot of my August payment is attached...$306 for 102 participants, including five who were not USPSA members. https://practiscore.com/results/new/215678
  9. You sure about that? I pay activity and classifier fees for every participant, whether they are members or not.
  10. The lines are actually boxes...."...from within the shooting area..."
  11. Do you also hate "anywhere" start positions? It's a game. Unspecified hand position is good because most people don't practice it and mess it up. Once people get good at it, stage designers will come up with something new...like hands touching ears or ear-pro.
  12. Unless you ask ROs to overlay hits when you're already getting the higher scoring call (a close alpha/charlie, and you get the alpha), then you're only ever going to see/confirm mistakes that go against you. I suspect both types of error occur with the same frequency...possibly even more that favor the shooter (because ROs know it's less likely to result in some type of dispute, including some that could cause delays on the stage). The ratio of shooters asking for an overlay on a call that went in their favor vs. not in their favor is like 1:1000. It happens, but only very rarely.
  13. The Glock C models were prohibited based on the Division appendices, not the definition of compensator.
