You fellas voting for 15 had better come out and shoot production once the changeover occurs, otherwise you all deserve a swift kick in the shins.
People who don't shoot production and have no plans to shoot production have no business voting at all.

I think when all is said and done they are going to find out that the change made production less interesting to those who like the challenges involved and just made it more one dimensional (how fast can you run) like many of the rest of the divisions. Time will tell.
Yep

[mention=51619]wtturn[/mention] [mention=4477]waktasz[/mention] [mention=1846]shred[/mention] [mention=13315]B_RAD[/mention] since I know/respect you guys in real life and you know me (though we haven't seen each other at a match in a while), one more question.
I am currently signed up for Prod. Should I also sign up for say L10. Is it your feeling the extra division with the same gun would help or hurt the overall effort for Prod? (I have a current L10 classification of 84% if it matters)
Thank you.
No. This is only a distraction.
Don't take your eye off the ball.

Why would such a strategy be good for classifier matches and not regular matches?If you’re trying to shoot all Alphas very quickly, the 9mm is an advantage over .40.
That being said, I’m thinking out loud here and the idea just popped into my head. It may be something that Limited shooters regularly do in full classifier matches. Or it may never happen and there’s a good reason it doesn’t.
(It's not, I'm just humoring your hypothetical.)
What you need to understand is how big an advantage major scoring is in a game that uses hit factor scoring.
Major is a huge advantage in every instance.

How?Question: Do Limited Major shooters drop to Limited Minor at full Classifier matches? It seems to me that higher level shooters - A or M, could gain an advantage by shooting 9mm to move up a ranking. Especially if you had a gun set up very similarly to your .40.

The new channel is about introducing the concepts of practical shooting to people who are not participating in practical shooting sports.He's got a new Youtube channel with Joel Park, not many videos yet and not sure what the main theme of the videos will be

These are certainly... opinions.
When you have me agreeing with Moto then something is dreadfully wrong.

Our stage design rules really hinder us as it relates to short field courses.
I'd love to see us adopt ipsc stage design rules. But not 3-2-1 rule.
Because a 6-12 round field course with lots of movement/several positions can be far more interesting than a 32 rounder.
I'd love a provision that says the WSB on individual stages can mandate remaining inside the fault lines.
More over the top swingers. Tougher movers. Move movers in general.
Fewer stars and circus props.
More distance in general.
Less hosing.
More ipsc targets.
More running/athleticism challenges. Tunnels, ladders, platforms, towers, etc.
Basically I would love to combine the best parts of ipsc with the best parts of USPSA.
Our course design has grown very vanilla, and frankly, a bit stale. There are only so many times and so many configurations you can arrange such that everyone runs to X, Y, and Z positions, standing upright the whole time, on one plane.
We need a new (old?) standard that isn't afraid to acknowledge that everyone is not going to be able to address this challenge, or series of challenges, and be okay with that. The sport should be taxing and challenging in ways that may make you uncomfortable from time to time.

It's tacky to play IF-SC out loud and in public.

There are reputational consequences to forcing GM, from my observations.
People generally know who's legit and who's not, despite which letters follow their name in Practiscore.

I ran into the same (or similar) issue as Hwansik mentioned above.
Because the alpha dropper is a more gradual taper instead of a abrupt step, it is really easy to over expand the case mouth without knowing it. The problem seems to come when you place the bullet in the case prior to seating. If it is not perfectly concentric, there is less travel when seating occurs to straighten out the bullet concentrically.
So if you adjust bell to where cases just barely accepts the bullet, the case walls are able to straighten up the bullet as it is seated.
That's my theory, anyway.

Not unless you're Eric Grauffel.

All Glocks can shoot coated lead.
If the bullet is quality then you won't experience leading.

If the load works, it will work no matter which press produces it.

This.Try Black Bullets International? BBI’S are fantastic coated bullets.

TruthMaking GM is a bad financial decision. Stay M... Win all the guns at larger majors...
Or Make GM and watch your less skilled friends walk away with the loot.

I suppose fun is in the eye of the beholder.That’s what makes major so much more fun. You can be a little more “sloppy” with your sight picture and not as refined like shooting CO.
Squirting bullets has never really been that interesting or challenging in my opinion.
If I wanted to be sloppy, I'd shoot 3gun.

Minor scoring on target makes the game far more interesting than major scoring.The reward for Major PF has always been for power on target, not difficulty of shooting or amount of recoil.
It's there in a rudimentary form in Jeff Cooper's 1972 "Rules for Practical Pistol Competition". It's in the very first 1978 official IPSC rulebook as Major/Minor using a ballistic pendulum.
IMO Major scoring of C's makes USPSA a more fun game and way less stand-and-shooty for the best score. I don't really care what PF it takes to get there.
My proposal to eliminate PF without generating a lot of butthurt is to take the low-average of whatever the current cop-load 9x19 is (say 135 PF, it's sure not 125), make that the "New Minor" and give 4 points for a C (D's still worth 1). Major would still be around, but nobody would care anymore (except maybe Limited shooters... drop a 22 rd limit on that and drive on).
C zone is far too large relative to total target area to score 4 points per hit.
