RIP, Jim! I really enjoyed everything he did and got the chance to meet him at the 2014 NRA annual meeting - top notch man!

Welcome from New York. Is your 320 Optic ready? If so, it will limit the field for optics. Generally, the Sig Romeo1 Pro is the go to optic.

The other part that is weird is the plate was smaller - you'd think someone would have noticed that something wasn't right and once the plate was missed someone would have squawked.

Good point - one of our local Tier 1 matches had the left side of Roundabout reversed - it looked off for sure but several shooters from the first squad shot it and got to shoot it again after it was fixed. Stuff happens.

Thanks, I'm also thinking of Tier 1 matches too. Laser level is very interesting - a little out of the league of most clubs.

Thanks, that seems reasonable.

That's an interesting point. I would imagine the discrepancy didn't change the Tier, but I'm also wondering how much "variance" is allowed before a stage gets thrown out, That seemed to be automatic as the wrong plate was used, but if the plate was inches lower than standard or inches higher - what's allowed?

Thanks for the reply - I've been thinking about trying that - especially since I have some RFPO stages that are going to "time out" in August and my CO times are all recent. I'm thinking the RFPO should benefit if I do it that way. Thanks for confirming that it does work for some folks.

Thank you, I have been doing RFPO and then CO at matches to kind of get in the groove with the 22 and hope that my CO would benefit. It's been pretty good as I have been getting a couple personal bests in each and although they are only slightly better, they make the match much more enjoyable. Shooting 4 guns - dear Lord, they'd need to carry me off the last stage. lol Thanks again, I appreciate the reply.

Very nice! Congratulations on accomplishing something few shooters will or can. Did you concentrate on one division until you achieved your goal before moving on to another or did you shoot multiple divisions if it was offered at the match. I'm not at GM level, but I'm trying to get to M with CO and RFPO and have been shooting both divisions at each match. I'm wondering if I'd be better off concentrating on only one each match until I get there. Any advice?

As it happens, I got a reply yesterday (Wed. 5/12) There is no set schedule. We will notify the membership when this is done. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply - didn't know "they" weren't the right guys - thanks for the heads up.

You have a great point during these particularly challenging times.

I like your thoughts. Now try to get the USPSA to do something about it when I can't even get an answer on changing the peak times. Anyway, I think you are on the right track. Thanks.

I did send a message, but the answer must be the equivalent to the launch codes. I'll rattle their cage again. I'm just curious more than anything else - doesn't really matter. I am curious when they will recognize that growing the sport includes keeping current members and if it's impossible to achieve the next level because the times are getting unrealistic, overall participation may drop.
