TDean Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 I'm on both waiting lists. If I do go, I'll be shooting Production (gunning for Sevigny). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Ok.... I received a slot from my club and I'm VERY excited about it. If anybody wants to get on the squad with Chris and I let me know fast! (Sevigny is all mine ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Is there some deal where you can trade a Race slot for a Factory slot? (Is it vice versa, swap your Factory for a Race?) Thought I read about it but there's nothing on the USPSA site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Since this is my first time, I do not know. I read on the invitation that it (the invitation) can not be transfered without USPSA's knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Erik, The BOD voted in favor of a trading post. They're supposedly working on it. According to Rob Boudrie's annotated BOD minutes: The "trading post" will be supported via the USPSA members page, and all slot trades will be done through Sedro. This system will be in place by the Ides of March (perhaps sooner). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titandriver Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Erik , Contact your section coordinator & find out if he can post whatever slot it is you want to trade for. I put a Factory Gun slot on the trading post for a Race Gun slot & was able to trade within two days. I had to mail the slot to reach USPSA headquarters within 5 days of reaching the trade agreement. Only your section coordinator can do this as the trading post is available only on the section coordinator's portion of the USPSA web site. Hope this helps! Oh yeah, you can trade race for factory or factory for race. (Edited by titandriver at 7:14 pm on Mar. 17, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Sweeney Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 I'm headed to Quincy, planning to shoot Revolver. That is, if I can find a wheelgun in the safe that isn't ported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sweeney Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 No, and I'm not sure I've gotten the paperwork, either. I'm going to have to send Kim an e-mail and ask what's up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 Michael, Maybe you can get Laurell K. Hamilton, writer of the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter novels, out to the Mystery Writer's match so she can learn how a Browning Hi-Power (Anita's gun) actually works. 10 or 11 novels now and Laurell still hasn't figured it out.

FasterThanLight Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 I got a Race gun slot and a Factory Gun slot from two different clubs I shoot at. I am planning on going to each of them. These will be my first nationals and I am looking forward to it. Last year I got a Limited slot but could not make it because of work. I am always looking for ways to keep down the cost of going to matches so if any one wants to split a hotel or something please let me know.

MBneACP Posted March 24, 2002 Author Share Posted March 24, 2002 Duane; She claims that she has Mas Ayoob vet all her gun stuff...Hmmmmmm...Still, those are pretty dool books if you're up for sex with the Undead... MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Brown Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 I know you can get a slot to the Factory or Racegun Nationals through your club. Don't you also get a slot if you win or place high in certain matches? Anyone know what the matches are that qualify? I've looked throught he USPSA rulebook and website but I cannot find the answer.

Singlestack Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 FTL, If you are interested in squadding with cpty1 and I let me know. I can't do much on the Hotel (wife is going with me ) but we would love to have ya shoot with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 MB, I think you have to win one of the Area matches to "win" a slot. Your particular section may also award a slot to winners of their sectional championship...that is up to each section. You may also get a slot from your local club, if they get a slot...and based on their own rules. The other route to a slot is to get on the waiting list. Do it soon if you are wanting to go. You can sign up for the slot waiting list in the members section of the USPSA website or you can call in and be put on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Well, somebody's not doing a very good "vet" job. In her latest we get the good word on "copkiller" bullets, and how that armor piercing stuff does SO much more damage than those wimpy hollowpoints, when the truth is the non-expanding stuff just tunnels though like an icepick and does LESS damage....a Browning Hi-Power that has its safety on with the hammer down - a neat trick, that....and the scene where Anita, inside her apartment and armed with the Hi-Power and an Uzi, hears a knock at the door. He starts to walk to the door, glances at the Uzi, and thinks, "Nah, if I need more that a 9mm to answer my own door...." Duh! Maybe her "vet" could tell her the Uzi IS a 9mm. As for sex with the Undead....actually, I'm a big fan of Anita's OTHER creation, Merry Gentry. Screw sex with the Undead (pun intended), I'm holding out for sex with a kinky fairy princess.
