Gregg K Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Just remember that if there isn't 10 in the division at an area match there will be no recognition at all. No trophy, no blue ribbon and probably no trip to the prize table. They will take your $140 entry and say thanks for playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.343 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I know you are right Greg. I just hope that they are still waiting, but i suspect all the revo shooters will win is a handshake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckaroo45 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 This is exactly what happened at last years' Florida State match. 5 required for a Level II match and there were only 2 of us. I beat the other guy by 239 points and got squat, not even the handshake. After quizing the match director on the why I was told I have the bragging rights but nada else. Seems like revo is essentially a dying division. So sad because it's a different challenge than spray and pray. You actually have to manage the gun instead of point and pull. Makes one wonder why asking prices are so high for competition style revo's. Maybe we're in the "collector car" phase ?????

joedodge Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 ya unfortunatly itll be bragging rights with out the minimum required to represent the division. Its such a shame its an amazing division the guns are cool the people are awsome and its so much fun to break the stages down and have to really manage your rds and actually aim the gun.

Gregg K Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I just hope that they are still waiting, It falls on the same weekend as the Space City Challange so that's where some of the Revo shooters will be so none will be coming from the area around Houston or LA.

joedodge Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 dang well as long as the division is represented at a major match somewere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubber Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Sometimes when not there are enough participants in a Division the participants in that division may be put in another division for the prize table. And the 5 in a division only means if you have 5 you must recognize that division. The Match director may recognize that division but does not HAVE to but may do so if he wishes with out the minimum requirement. A hundred dollar entry fee should be enough for one trophy in my book. I wonder why no one reads my book. Later rdd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.343 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 When I first signed up for this match I saw that the match director had a team match going that included all divisions. I hoped to pick up a team and shoot the team events. Then I read the rest of the info and found that the team event was only for sponsored shooters. Am a bit disappointed about that, but feel like the match director is trying to be inclusive of revolver shooters. However, if there aren't any revolver shooters why would anyone try to include revolver shooters in the future? What can one short, fat, balding, extremely good looking guy do to increase interest in revolver shooting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joedodge Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I agree its a shame I really enjoy the division so much more people need to give it a chance. I didnt know you have to be a sponsored shooter to be selected for the team challenge though.....seems like no one wants to play with revos.

JAB Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) Just remember that if there isn't 10 in the division at an area match there will be no recognition at all. No trophy, no blue ribbon and probably no trip to the prize table. They will take your $140 entry and say thanks for playing. in the case of not having 10 revolver shooters to make the division then at the end they should offer you back part of your $140 seeing how there also not trip to the prize table Edited March 27, 2012 by JAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckaroo45 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Ahoy JAB, That wasn't how it worked for me at the USPSA Florida State match last November. Seems all the revolver shooters, except 2 of us, were drawn to a match in Memphis that had $ and a prize table. All they had at Fla State was a small trophy engraved w/ the division standing and date. When you invest several $K in equipment and another pile of bucks in travel / hotel etc bringing a 10" glass trophy home to the wife seems a small return on investment. With the exception of a couple of big national type matches it appears revolver shooters are relegated to shooting for the fun of it. That's too bad because they are a challenge to run a bottom feeder friendly stage and fun to boot. What's the line? "If it was easy everybody would do it". Hmmmmm! Must be why most run bottom feeders. Not gonna stop me from running my 625's and 627's. MOLON LABE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lora Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Fantastic! I'm shooting a 625, so no more counting rounds like last year with my 627. I also shouldn't have ammo problems like last year either, no light strikes. Look forward to shooting with you again. You know last year was only my second match with a revolver, now its about the only discipline that gets the adrenaline pumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joedodge Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 This will be my first major match with a revo I've been shooting my 625 since December I'm pretty pumped it will be nice to have a few Revos shooting together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
