silver star Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Since power factors have been some what neturlized let me ask, If you begin the match with a 9mm, some where during the match the 9mm fails beyond repair. Could you pick up your backup 40 and shoot it to complete the match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 You'd still need to get it, as well as any gun change, approved by the RM. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't allow that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyH Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Chuck, Being on the board have you heard anything about what rules will be used at the MG Nat. for open shotgun. I understand there is talk of changing it back to open as it should be. I'm sure others would like to know as well. Thanks, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Tony, there is an online meeting going on right now, till the 17th. One of the topics is the round count limit in Open. Should have an answer as soon as the meeting closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busyhawk Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 sdmd, I would love to go but as you will notice this is one large road trip from Washington state to as far as TX and return with matches back to back with little or no down time. All matches I am shooting and working to help pay for my habit. I can't see driving to one match and returning...you know being retired/tired is hard work Now my only exception is the Blue Ridge Mountain 3 Gun and that is a stretch for me but Andy is a good friend and he has helped me so much in the past I just have to. I just want to know why everyone/MD's thinks they have to give me the long running stages...I'm getting old! I will PM you with some thoughts...

havotec1 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Anyone know how the squadding works for Nationals, its my first and am wondering if I should be getting some sort of notification/squadding requests etc. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I just want to know why everyone/MD's thinks they have to give me the long running stages...I'm getting old! It's your own fault. When you show up to RO a match with your hand above your head...because you are holding your own IV bag and tubes poked into you...that means you are tough (or bonkers). MDs just want to see how tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you pick up your backup 40 and shoot it to complete the match? So what is the deal with the time plus scoring??? Is everyone going with 9mm to have higher capacity? Is PF totally nullified except to make minimum? I am relatively new to USPSA and do not know the ins-n-outs regarding how this will affect what caliber everyone will be using now that the scoring has been changed. Thanks for any insight and advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am relatively new to USPSA and do not know the ins-n-outs regarding how this will affect what caliber everyone will be using now that the scoring has been changed. Thanks for any insight and advice! Time-Plus USPSA scoring is very close to IMGA scoring. I'm not sure everyone is going to 9mm. .40 Minor with 20 rounds as opposed to 23 rounds in a 9mm won't be that much different unless there are several stages with 22 to 24 rounds. There are also some that run .38 Super. There have alwasy been a fair number of people running .40 pistols in IMGA matches where major minore did not matter. If you are going to be shooting Limited or L10 in USPSA pistol and 3G/MG matches, shooting .40 may be a good idea. One pistol with some minor loads for 3G and major loads for pistol matches. I shot a .40 Caliber Limited pistol in everything for the last 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziebart Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Also if there is a MGM spinner a 40 should take it over quicker and easier than 9mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Also if there is a MGM spinner a 40 should take it over quicker and easier than 9mm. I can pretty much guarantee there won't be one at a USPSA match. But then I could be wrong. Edited February 23, 2012 by Chuck Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ap3 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hotel suggestions I emailed USPSA and they said "we are still negotiating a match hotel". Any body have any good suggestions for a hotel that is within a decent distance to the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any body have any good suggestions for a hotel that is within a decent distance to the range. I've stayed at the Best Western on W Sahara. It is close to the range and has good rates. You will see other 3 gunners there at the breakfast buffet. http://book.bestwestern.com/bestwestern/US/NV/Las-Vegas-hotels/BEST-WESTERN-PLUS-Las-Vegas-West/Hotel-Overview.do?propertyCode=29084&cm_mmc=PTI-_-local-_-feed-_-29084 Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diversmith Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hotel suggestions I emailed USPSA and they said "we are still negotiating a match hotel". Any body have any good suggestions for a hotel that is within a decent distance to the range. I'm a local and might I suggest looking into the Red Rock Casino Resort??? Are you looking for strictly price range or looking at the big picture of travel time to and from the range each day and the associated gas money, plus the ease of just driving right down the street each day and not dealing with any strip traffic/delays/headaches/possibly being late??? Red Rock might be a few more bucks per day but you might save in the long run. It is super super close to the range if you didn't know that already (and really nice with good eats). I'm not sure about any motel type places that would be close...you would need to google places like that to see what might be close. Hope this helps you out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busyhawk Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Since some of us can't afford ~$180 to $500 a night the Red Rock is out of the question...that and if you check their rates and dates they are full! Just did the home work...I am guessing locals want the revenue Busyhawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ap3 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Bummer the Red Rock was sounding pretty good. I wish our match organizer would get a move on for a negotiated rate for a match hotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmshtr Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Only 3 more days to beat the early payment deadline! Applications postmarked after March 5th must pay a late fee. This year's Multi-gun Nationals will be a great one! The stages have been posted, and it looks like Pete Rensing has done an awesome job again! With all of the issues last year, one thing everyone agreed on was that the stages were really good. This year will be no exception. We've condensed them just a bit to ensure things run faster, but we're still shooting 12 stages. We'll be using Time-Plus (Outlaw) scoring this year, and the BOD has approved several rule amendments to ensure that we have fewer re-shoots. Open will be UNLIMITED CAPACITY this year. Tactical will be no more than 8 in the tube at any time (like FB3G last year). That means no loading of the tubes after the start signal, and a chamber empty start w/ Tactical SG will only have 8 rounds in the tube...not 8 rounds in the tube and one on the carrier. There will be no chrono, since PF scoring will not be used. RO/Staff personnel may shoot the match for score! Competitors who must attend the NRA Show in St. Louis may also shoot the match with staff. This will be a half day Wed, and full day Thurs. The match hotel will be the Suncoast Hotel & Casino, about 2 miles east of the Red Rock Casino just off Charleston. This is the hotel I've been staying at for the last several Nationals, and I've been VERY happy with it. It's only a few minutes from the range, and you only need to go onto the strip if you WANT to. Updated match, hotel, and schedule info will be posted at www.uspsa-nationals.org shortly Don't miss the biggest Multi-gun match of the year! 12 stages in 3 days is going to be crazy fun...plus a great way to get some serious work in the week before the TX Multi-gun! Hope to see you there, Phil Strader Co-Match Director Edited March 2, 2012 by gmshtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ap3 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Thanks Mr President for the update, but the hotel appears to be sold out for the nights of the match Edited March 3, 2012 by ap3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Religious Shooter Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Can we have the RO's keep an official count on the number of reshoots per stage? And why the reshoot was issued? It would be nice to know what the actual count is so the BOD and the membership can have some solid stats on the number of reshoots and the why.

busyhawk Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 RS, I will keep score of the re-shoots for my stage...and will try to talk the other staff in the same thing at the RO meetings. gmshtr/Phil/Pres, Great information, thank you for the update! USPSA is stepping up and really taking the lead in a lot of Multigun actions and we will be better for it in the long run. Thank you for your leadership and guidance! Being a Co-Match Director of an "Outlaw" 3 gun match if I had know of the changes perhaps we would have looked at running our match as a USPSA sanctioned match! Keep up the great work! I hope someone at USPSA is looking at dates for next year and can announce it at the end of this years match.

Murph Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The NRA meeting is more important to the industry than I think you realize. Sponsors, MDs, etc, etc. I would really hate to miss my first 3G Nats since the first Multi-gun inception in 2004... jj JJ, First USPSA 3-Gun,Barry, IL 1991, 2nd Glen Rose, TX 1992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
