I shoot a 121 gr 9mm at ~1400 fps in pistol and 115 gr ~1200 fps in rifle (8" barrel) and I am absofrigginglutely sure what works better for distance. 3-point contact with the firearm for the win. So yeah, rifle better than pistol. As for this stage, a tough one for sure. But then, this was the nationals, right? And if one paid attention to any of the PCC only matches over the years, one would expect at least some shots well beyond the typical pistol presentation. Of the top 10 shooters on this stage (which included Gs, Ms, and one sandbagging junior C shooter ) only 2 had misses. Max had 2 but if you watch his video, he likely traded points for time on that target. He was about 1.7 seconds faster than the stage winner. Should a whole match be like this stage? Not for USPSA. One target on one stage? Deal with it.

I merged the redundant treads here in the CZ forum to keep the conversation in one place. Cross posting is not necessary since most users use the "unread content" function to find new threads. Thanks, Chuck

Any more personal and petty bickering and this sucker gets closed.

Just to be clear, 55-70 yard targets are not "practical" for a rifle?

I use the TF+10 basepads. My mags will hold 42. For USPSA, I load to 40. Mostly because I carry my ammo in 100 round boxes and to load a mag, I consume 4 rows. No counting

As we said above, this thread is for feedback on the 2020 PCC Nationals. Any more non-relevant stuff will be hid without notice. And any personal stuff counts as non-relevant so cut that s#!t out...

I never thought of you as being all that tall

This is the rule that covers decocking the firearm: 10.5.9 Failure to keep the finger outside the trigger guard during loading, reloading, or unloading. Exception: while complying with the “Make Ready” command to lower the hammer of a gun without a decocking lever, or while initially loading a revolver with a spurless hammer. There are no constraints on how to accomplish said decocking. Of course, if one should happen to fire a round, another rule would come into play

Yup.

no

The OP created a thread for feedback on the 2020 PCC Nationals. Let's keep it on track. And the personal crap has calmed, let's keep it that way! The general match stuff deserves it own thread or reviving one from the past... Thanks!

Not at matches designed and built by Filipinos!

Nope. You will pull all your existing classifications up with your progress in CO.

"To receive an initial classification, a member needs to have at least four unduplicated scores in the USPSA classification database." (from the rule book)

Did the WSB state you could go under the sticks or did you just let people discover it?

Wow. Thanks for the images. I don't think I would use either barrel.

OK, girls, any more personal stuff and this thread is closed. Let's keep it on feedback from the PCC Nats.

Just to be clear, you are suggesting that we field 8 round long courses? ETA: I just re-read section 1.2.1. With the current language, I would have to agree

Could you please do us a favor and put an unfired round in each of those and photograph them like the image in the 4th post above? I know I would like to see how much case is external to the chamber. Thanks!

That is a real serious understatement!

Wow, it looks like your bullet is hitting the rifling. Are you using chubby 147's by chance? It looks like a very shallow chamber. The plunk test will tell. From your pic, it looks like fail. As to why the sig would fire that far OOB, is another question.

Is the barrel on the left your sig barrel?

And you may want to look this one over also. This thread talks about the gun and possible reloading problems but worth a look, I would think.. Good luck!

Pretty clear: 10.2.3 Where multiple penalties are assessed in the above cases, they must not exceed the maximum number of scoring hits that can be attained by the competitor. For example, a competitor who gains an advantage while faulting a Fault Line where only four metal targets are visible will receive one procedural penalty for each shot fired while faulting, up to a maximum of four procedural penalties, regardless of number of shots fired. 10.2.4 is not "above". This is the language we have at this time. Based on that, the poor guy won a 12 pack.

10.2.3 does not apply to 10.2.4.
