This
excellent overview.
I will say that the boys down in Chillicothe put on an excellent match the 4th weekend. It's about 2:10 from city center (less if you are south)...but worth it.
They use both Saturday and Sunday...so you can shoot both days for like super cheap, or shoot Chilli Saturday and one of the Schultz matches on Sunday.
To that, NPCCC (Chesterton) also run a Saturday and Sunday USPSA match weekend (woot-woot).
On last note: Schultz runs two USPSA matches; one under NISA and one as Schultz.
I can ( and usually do) shoot multiple days every weekend between the double USPSA weekends, Steel and IDPA (ssshhh...it's ok...)I may be partial, but I would second the trip to Chillicothe. They run a really good match with some great people there!

The IL Sectional is one of the finest matches put on across the country! Keep it up, Ryan and Kyle. You guys are doing great work!

Will there be a match hotel associated with this match?

I'll go ahead and mention that my new favorite pants of all time are the LAPG Atlas pants. They've got stretchy material in all of my chubby spots and are very breathable and lightweight! Not to mention, the price is right on them, especially on sale!

I have a pair of Irish Setter Vaprtreks for bow hunting. They are AWESOME! The uninsulated version is still kind of warm since it is waterproof. The support is outstanding, though.

It's tough to overcome some physical challenges. I'm a left leg above knee amputee and I absolutely have to keep foot(singular)work in mind when going through a stage plan! My goal is to take as few steps as possible and I have to shoot faster with better hits than most. Focus a lot on your accuracy and speed while shooting. THEN work on efficiency of movement while still maintaining rapid fire and good hits.
Feel free to message me if you have any specific questions! I'd be happy to share my experiences.

This looks like a blast! I'm surprised there are so many openings left, still.

Does anyone have any experience with the Dark Storm Industries DS-9 Typhoon?
I just bought one and it was a complete impulse buy with zero research done on the company. I'm hoping to get positive reviews!
I did try the search function on the forum and it brought up nothing, by the way.

I've used "Area5" as a discount code in the past for SNS. I kind of vaguely recall an ad in Front Sight that was "USPSA5" I think. You can check to see if those work.

I think the classification system might cause some people to shy away from PCC. If they are just playing around in the division but end up hitting A or M, or even GM, they are going to have to figure out how to compete at the higher pistol level!
I don't have much interest in PCC, so it doesn't matter to me. But it does seem that it would make things MUCH more difficult if someone started the sport with a PCC then decided to go to a handgun.

Jake and crew,
This was my first SNS 400 and it certainly won't be my last. You guys had some awesome stages and I know squad 25 had a great time.
Thanks for all that you and your crew did to make it happen! -
I'm running an SNS 200gr RN at 1.15" over 4.0gr WST. It shoots really well out of my STI DVC.

I run 147gr SNS coated round nose over 3.0gr of Titegroup. The coated bullets are cheaper than plated and Titegroup is about the cheapest powder you can run per charge!
I have no experience with a bullet feeder like the above comment. So if you do have one, coated might not be the way to go. But if that's not a concern, take a look at SNS bullets.

I'm with Grumpy on this one.
Now let me ask, is there any reason you want to stay within production? If production is your thing, then yes you should probably look towards getting a 9mm M&P. If you just shot production because you're starting out and not exactly sure what to shoot, then give limited a try! You can buy 2 or 3 magazine extensions to get your factory mags out to 140mm and then drop in an APEX FSS trigger and roll with it!Magwells, sights, springs, etc. can all come at a later date if you want to stick with limited.

this is just my opinion but ...If your using the Lee Factory Crimp die, there is no need to use the Lee Undersizing die, in the first station. I regular resizing die will do.
additionally, I would not use coated or plated bullets to begin with.
Zero 180gr, FMJ bullets will yield excellent results.
I've shot quite a few SNS bullets without any long term issues. They did have 1 batch where a sizing die was worn out and I think some of their .40 bullets were sitting at .403. I gave them a call and they corrected the issue immediately. Ever since they've switched to their new "brick red" coating, I've had no troubles.

S2 vs LS-P
in CZ
I have only dry fired the S2, but I REALLY liked my LS-P. I would have to give it to the LS-P.
I agree with Gcarr, though. It does feel top heavy, I just prefer it that way.

This thread was an interesting use of my lunch break.
I don't move very fast. It's just not much of an option for me. Because of that, I have to shoot fast to stay competitive. With minor scoring, I have to shoot fast AND have really good hits. With major scoring, I have to shoot fast and have pretty decent hits. For this reason, I take advantage of major scoring. I understand my limitations and go by the rules set by USPSA to try and achieve the most competitive platform that I can. I don't think major is going anywhere for quite some time!
-
Dan, you obviously just need to go back to your DVC and give me this CK to fiddle around with. That seems like the most logical step to me!
-
I would supply some of the 45/70 ammo as long as I could load it to 125 PF.
-
I'm still fixin on having a blast shooting to match! So we'll stick to that, I guess.
-
Crap....
Thanks for the info!
-
Is that not a thing??? I come from the land of corn fields, so I have no idea!
-
What are some of the local hang outs around this place? I'm coming from central IL.
Two requirements this trip: 1. Safely complete the match. 2. Eat crawfish.
After that, I'm pretty much open to suggestions.

I'm excited to be part of a match that everyone else is this excited about!

in USPSA/IPSC Shooting
Posted
Kind of resurrecting this post, but I do have some thoughts I'd like to share.
1. I'm a left leg amputee and made it to master in limited division. Standing and shooting, I was pretty decent. Stages with a lot of movement just required that I focus extra hard on my steps and reducing movement as much as possible. I'm confident it made everyone nervous when I went to running, but good trigger discipline and a will to win typically pushed me through.
2. A good friend that I met through USPSA had a stroke a number of years ago. He used to shoot competitively back in the day and got back into it after the stroke. The issue was that he could hear that you were trying to say something, but his brain would not process the words. He understood load and make ready with a nod and a tap on the shoulder. He would always make eye contact with the RO and motion towards the gun to verify that was the correct command. After that, he knew there would be some noise "stand by", and then he could tell the beep and then go. One time I saw him get stopped for a ND, and he stopped immediately to the sound of the RO, safely unloaded, and cleared the stage.
I look to him for a lot of my answers to this dilemma. He wanted to shoot and he wanted to compete. So he sought out people who would help him do both. Several members of the local club did not feel good about him shooting. That was fine, we just squadded them with other folks. I never had an issue squadding or shooting with him. Sometimes it just took a pen and paper to note any oddities of the stage or something to watch out for.
I guess the moral of my post is that if you have a will, then I encourage you to find a way. If that's a helping hand or a side note to the RO about specific issues, so be it. Be open, be honest, ask for help when needed, and be good to those around you. All other issues seem to work themselves out.
