    Are you going to take my suggestion and run the trail downhill this year?

    Be careful what you ask for Jon, there's a very steep drop off I could make part of the trail run and it would suit me just fine :devil:

    .....you know, thats actually not a bad idea, Thanks Jon

    I think Blueridge really came up with the best idea yet -- Open Revolver Div.

    Keep it real simple, any revolver setup that doesn't fall within the current Revolver Div. rules is in Open -- 7/8 shot, comps, dot/iron, major/minor and if S&W decides to make a 10 shot X frame, you're all set.

    Those who are convinced there are a bunch shooters just waiting for a Revolver Div to run their 8 shooters in USPSA will have a chance to prove it. This way you won't disrupt those who are setup for & happy with the division the way it is and also provides new shooters a less expensive way to shoot USPSA with a wheelgun.

    "not belittling those that might want to participate differently"

    Dave, my intentions was not to belittle anyone, but to point out a fact. The Number 1 comment I get at a match is about reloads especially standing reloads and never in a positive way. But then, most don't understand why we'd choose a wheelgun over a auto anyway.

    If you want to have a chance to increase participation, it's about attitude. Don't be negitive or whine about the stages, take on the challenge, improve your skills and as you place higher it will get others attention -- especially if you look like your having fun......which it is.

    Changing the rules away from 6 shot only to accomadate a few peoples comfort zone, will probably drive more away than attract. Because there are a lot more 6 shooters availible at reasonable costs than the expensive 627.

    Just My Opinion

    This whole topic of allowing 8 shots into Revolver Div comes down to the standing reload . There are those who are intimidated by it and want a level playing field......get over it, Revolver Div is all UPHILL !!! That's part of the fun -- keep it that way !!!

    Plus it keeps the weak of heart from polluting the gene pool of the Division

    Revolver Division gives those of us who prefer the revolver platform a place to play in USPSA despite the challenges. In fact, most of the wheelgunners I've shot with, embrace those challenges -- A Breed Apart

    Do I need an 8 shot to be competive

    "I believe the idea of the extra shot is actually a bad thing.. if you are taking extra shots, you are being sloppy and not making your shots count. In ICORE, time and accuracy the first time is everything. If you NEED to take extra shots and you NEED those two extra, then you aren't paying enough attention the first time to make your shots count"

    +1

    Vince, pretty much the conclusion I've come to also

    Not only did James shoot a great match, but he did it all in one day :bow:

    Saturday morning before he started making the long trip home, he hung out with us giving us advice on how to shoot the stages to avoid some of the things he did wrong - James is truly a good guy.

    At least next year the drive won't be so far - Albany, OR

    Congratulations James :cheers:

    First, thanks to Mike for putting on a great match :cheers:

    There was 15 shooters - 3 Open, 12 Limited (eight 6 shot)

    Gene M - Top Open

    James A - Top Limited

    Master Trevor - Top 6 shot, who by way did prove you can shoot fast enough to make up for B & C hits :bow:

    Was able to talk Mike into adding a Jungle Run (actually more of a uphill trail shoot) which was still set up from a match last week - just needed targets. So we had 9 stages instead of the 8 originally planned which got it over 200rds for the match and done in about 5 hrs.

    Great people, great stages & good weather - Awesome Match
