John Z Sr Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) Just looked at self squading for Area 6 championship match, and much to my displeasure,, saw that out of 110 shooters,,, not one revo shooter is signed up (unless a few are in the squads marked "full", with no names). This would not be fun, as I would hate to go production, just to have a few people to shoot against. What gives revo's? Is anyone coming?

JFlowers Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I am planning to shoot Area 6, but this year is getting off to a really slow start. Between work and weather, I have not shot a match yet in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubber Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 John Z, We feel your pain. It would seem that we have a lot of revo shooters here but we're pretty spread out, No I don't mean fat!! That Southern Boy from South Illinois has gotten four more of us a heading to the Arkansas Section match. One from Arkansas and three from Oklahoma. If a couple more show up we can get recognition or go through the prize table. Last year we made the magic 7 and Hop won a gun. (hint hint) The same four are planning to make the Area 4 match. Don't know if Illinois will be represented. We need the magic 5 for it according to the MD. Hmm? I wonder if there are any Revo shooters in Lousianna, Annette, Elliot, that Jerry guy? We shall see. later rdd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z Sr Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hope it works out Bubber, I shot ssp in an IDPA match today and I just feel so DIRTY, at least I didn't get called for round dumping ( it's just not right to reload for 1 more shot,, dump a few and make the reload worth it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffwalsh Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I'll try to make it but it is so close to South Carolina that it makes hard to get away 2 weekends in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlscrog Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I was waiting to sign up until I figured out whether or not I'm working the match. I plan to shoot Revo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Guys, if you're serious about shooting the revolver in competition, you really need to shoot as many Area matches as possible, and particularly your own home Area Championship. With all you wheelgunners that live in the Southeast, I would expect to see 15-20 revolvers signed up for Area 6 already! What the heck is going on down there? USPSA Area matches and the USPSA Nationals are the big ones. Sign up and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffwalsh Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I think the big problem is the schedule. It falls the weekend after the South Carolina Sectional. We always get a big revo turnout there and a lot of people can't do two weeks in a row. I'm going to try but outlook is not good. The Area 6 used to be in May and then they had a range conflict a few years ago and it got bumped to April. Another thing, the match has been in the same place for 5 years now I think (maybe just 4). It would be cool if it went to a different range so other shooters have a chance to have it close. I think that would give people who have not shot it a chance to do it cheaply and see how cool it is. I don't know if any other clubs have offered to host it. I'm sure the South River crew is getting worn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Points well taken. As a general rule, I just think it's very important to produce a respectable showing in Revo Division at the bigger matches, and that would have to include the various Area matches. But I have always heard great things about the SC Sectional, and understand the challenges of signing up for back-to-back travel weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Due to my new mastery of "sweet-talkin" I have actually signed up for both the SC Sectional and the Area 6 match this year. Shooting Revolver at both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z Sr Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 Definately shooting SC section, don't think I can afford to do Area 6 this year, really want to but should probably try to keep mortgage paid first,,, maybe "Hope and Change" will kick in before then, and I'll have plenty of extra money !!!!

CRDB Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I see the same thing with not enough revolver shooters, I cancelled the U.S.Open ICORE Championship for October and it's not looking good for the NC State ICORE match, only have one app in and that's an S.O. other apps pending are also S.O.'s.

John Z Sr Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 Don't give up yet Dean,,,, come on guys,, get the revolvers out of the back of the safe and lets do some ICORE !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewski Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I see the same thing with not enough revolver shooters, I cancelled the U.S.Open ICORE Championship for October and it's not looking good for the NC State ICORE match, only have one app in and that's an S.O. other apps pending are also S.O.'s. That is distressing. I intended to shoot both matches - hopefully we'll have enough folks for a state match. I know a couple of guys who are considering trying ICORE - time to talk up the game! The regular ICORE matches at Dean's are a blast - a big match would be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBorland Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 come on guys,, get the revolvers out of the back of the safe and lets do some ICORE !!!! The regular ICORE matches at Dean's are a blast - a big match would be fantastic. FWIW, I'm going to try to make it this month. It'll be my first ICORE. I've heard great things about Dean's matches. I'll be squad fodder, but I'm sure I'll have fun & will learn a lot. BTW, how many rounds would I need? From what I've read, it seems a mere 200 (and 4 speedloaders) ought to get me by.

John Z Sr Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 GrandBoule, I'll bring extra "K" and "L" frame speedloaders if you need some extras, they are Safariland Comp 3's, look forward to shooting with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been itching to come for a while. I think I'll have enough speed loaders, but it's reassuring to know there's some wiggle room if I find I was overconfident. I'm gonna have to miss Saturday night's IDPA match (again), but I'm extra stoked about the ICORE match (the week after) then. Cheers - Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
