grywlfbg Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Any info on when the shootoff will occur at the USPSA Multigun Nationals. I already have tickets returning on Monday morning but heard a rumor that the shootoff will be on Monday. It would be nice to know ahead of time. Doug Doug, Everything I've heard says the shoot-off is on Monday. I'm waiting to buy my Vegas tickets until after RM3G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.E. Kelley Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Kids, This is a brand new TV show and it is in competition with a bunch of "known" programs. WE, if we want this to succeed must not only watch it but must let the Versus people know that we like it and want more of it. This drives advertising dollars and that is the reason for having TV shows. Crappy time slots are the norm for new untested programming. 3 Gun Nation is exactly that! If the Versus email box is slammed full asking for more then we will probably get more. So please spread the word...this is YOUR sport. Make it grow! Yours is Sport Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every show I hope you all watch it for me because I don't have TV! Really I do not have TV. I have a large monitor and a DVD player for movie entertainment but no cable, satellite or what have you. See you at the Pan-Am mister!

Jesse Tischauser Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Interesting! So let me get this stragiht. There will be four additonal USPSA 3 gun stages. The 50 qualifiers from previous matches and the 10 additional qualifiers from the USPSA Nationals match will compete in the four stages to make it to the final 16 for the shootoff for $25,000? I wonder how they are going to pick the additional 10? Guys like Burkett and Daniel Horner could show up and easily win their divisions at Nationals.

Benelli Chick Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I think they said the "Wildcards" would be given to the top finishers at Nationals that have not already qualified for the 3-Gun Nation match. So, yes, I hope Daniel H will get one of the Wildcard slots. It wasn't his fault he was deployed this year and missed most of the series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn-rgr Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Here is the problem I have with the wildcard slots. A guy who didnt take time out of his schedule (not talking about deployed soldiers, trust me) gets to compete for the same prize as the guy that made sure he made every match? Something sounds fishy. I think USPSA has their hooks in this one. Just my .02...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could probably guess 8/10 of the shooters that will be receiveing the wildcards right now which I would assume is why they were created. Some, like Daniel deserve to be there because he was busy doing better things. Edited July 22, 2010 by jtischauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think USPSA has their hooks in this one. Just my .02...... On the other hand, almost every sport allows for a wildcard entry into the championship. Golf, NFL, MLB, etc etc. Not every three gun shooter can make every match with the exception of those who have sponsorship help and even then it is tough. How cool is it that 3 Gun Nation allows for a format that not only recognizes our best sponsored shooters but also those good shooters who work their ass off to hone their skills but maybe can't make the number of matches others can. That doesn't address how stupid it would look to have a National Champion sit out the 3 Gun Nation shootoff, not because they lacked the skill and ability, but because they couldn't get enough vacation time. Edited after Jesse's post So we all agree that military deployment should be exempt, how about any other form of service personnel who couldn't work it into their schedule? if so then why not others who can't work the time into their professional life?????? There are more than a few great shooters that simply can't make the # of matches, nothing "fishy" about it.

Bryan 45 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Jesse, I think what Chad is suggesting, or at least what I'm thinking, is USPSA might be trying to use this to increase participation at the Nationals. After all, it's about the only big match that doesn't fill. Either way, I think 3GN has done some great things for only being around about 6 months. I can't wait to see what they bring us next year. A dedicated match in the center of the US (maybe Tulsa?) would be awesome as a finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that he isn't good enough to be there he just didn't make alll the requirements previously (correct me if I am wrond, I didn't scour the list). It also just so happens that they are going to get more participation in the USPSA nationals now. So they haven't made the USPSA nationals match better they made the side match more lucrative. Don't get me wrong more shooters at USPSa nationals is good and so is 3 gun nation. I just find it interesting how thigns change as the year progresses. I also think Patrick Kelley should get a bye in round one since he has shot most of the matches and has done so well;) Edited July 22, 2010 by jtischauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan 45 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Keep in mind that until RM3G, we won't know who shot the 3 required matches. And I have no dog in this fight, but if I won the $25K I would want it to be because I beat the best- not because XXXXX couldn't get into the match. (or am I being naive?)

If thats the case, they should do away with the three match requirement. And Jesse, Im not saying you hit the nail on the head.....Im just sayin......
