Frederico Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hi there, I´m from Brazil and will shoot the Florida open in February. I would like to go in one more tournament in 2012.

Hi-Power Jack Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hi there, will shoot the Florida open in February. I would like to go in one more tournament in 2012. Which is the biggest and better Tournament in the US? Arguably, the eight Regional matches and the Nationals are The Best in the USA. Good luck, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshidaex Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hmmmm... Hard to say. I'd say the USPSA nationals would be one to go to. Area 2 match is good also. Fun and challenging. Prize table is excellent! I've heard good things about all the Area matches but I haven't been able to attend any of them except A2. The big annual Double Tap match is fun too. Good props and challenging. Prize table and trophies are nice too. There are other good matches and I'm sure you'll get more input from other members here.

Frederico Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 I´m planning to go to the Nationals in Las Vegas, but for me, it´s cheaper and easier, Match’s near to Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 This thread - http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=134968 - has the latest 2012 match schedule in the US. In terms of the best matches, I have to agree that the Area level matches and the Nationals are all good bets. The Double Tap Championship is also a solid and challenging match. Hard to beat the Nationals for value vs. your travel dollar - usually 18-20 stages, and Las Vegas has a lot to see and do - plus, in October, it's quite comfortable. I also have to agree with yoshidaex that Area 2 (the Rio Salado Desert Classic - in November) is always a super match with a wonderful prize table. Phoenix in November is usually wonderful.

Mark K Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 If you want good shooting, and a really great match to meet American people, I know of none better than the Gator Classic near New Orleans, in late October. Mark K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjb45 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I am biased. Typically, I get to Area 2 and Nationals every year. I have not shot Area 4 in years. The best match in the country is Area 2 in Mesa. The stage designs are excellent. The props can be outstanding to great. Where else can you shoot from a real helicopter. The ROs are some of the best around, not a bad attitude among them, in fact, very helpful. The range staff are always on the spot to fix anything. Polle is incredible. Chrono is very well. They have been known to also do random checks, just to keep everyone honest. This match tests your shooting skills and can challenge you in ways you never thought possible. The weather is cool in the mornings and warm in the afternoon. The awards ceremony is very well run. It goes smoothly. Nationals could learn a few lessons from Area 2. The prize table typically exceeds $250,000 and is divided very well between all the divisions. If I had only one match to go to in 2012 it would be Area 2. Check out the YouTube videos for Area 2.

Koppi Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hi, I have been to most of the big matches. You might try the USSteel Shoot in Titusville FLTalk to Mike he is a great sponser. Also the USPSA AREA 6 match is a great match; Linda Chico is the person to talk to there. These are around FL. Good Luck hope to see you there John Kopp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederico Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 The Area´s and National Match’s has their official ammunition? It is very difficult to bring my own ammunition to the match. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 The Area´s and National Match’s has their official ammunition? Area 6 is in Frostproof, Fl - home of Manny Braggs - and he sells ammo - you might want to contact him to confirm that. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't help, Doug Carden (on this forum) is making ammo also. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
