Jeanjacket Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The range is in Eastern time zone correct Yup. So does that mean my times should be faster or slower than usual? After extensive research and after applying the following equations: V = Vo + at X - Xo = Vot + .5at^2 v^2 = vo^2 + 2a(X - Xo) X - Xo = .5(Vo + V)t You may be surprised to find that time zone has virtually zero effect on USPSA output times and scores. Hence, the only reasonable conclusion one can draw is that you will certainly finish approximately 1 hour sooner than someone in the adjacent US time zone shooting at the relative "same time".

And I thought I was the only nerd shooting the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airedale Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Watch for changes to the stages. I heard most of the changes involve over turned cars and burning furniture "Standing in box A, handgun loaded and holstered, lighter fluid and zippo in hand. Upon start signal, torch couch, engage targets as they become visible. Failure to shout "Go Cats" results in one procedural." Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thanks Corey. AT, I will be by around 3p or so. No need to get up early! One more dummy question...will the gate be open, or do I need to contact AT telepathically once I reach the range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
