BD Williamson Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Its about time!! Open is Open even if 3 Gun Nation doesn't recognize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Sahlberg Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Great job USPSA BOD & MG rule writers! Limiting Open SG years ago was not a good idea, it is all about good course where you have good COFs to shoot. Open shooters have to shoot against others in the same division anyways. I have never been to any 3 Gun, anywhere, that had 20 rnds from a single box where this rule might advantage some with a drum or box fed magazine.

bgary Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I haven't read the new rule, but... did they do anything to neuter the "old tricks", like using 2" shells to get 15+ in the tube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my skill level that should be more than enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegot38 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Buy a longer tube and install it when you go out of state. Not a solution in-state of course. Posession itself is illegal. Nor could anyone in another state bring their 10+ gear to a match in a restricted state. Those of us in free states often store items for our oppressed brothers and sisters.

Guest Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) I haven't read the new rule, but... did they do anything to neuter the "old tricks", like using 2" shells to get 15+ in the tube?Nope, just removed the capacity limit.Just to clarify - running short (2 1/4 - 2 1/2") shells is OK now?Did size ever matter? I don't think so, and you are right...I didn't phrase the question properly. Should have left the word "now" off the end. Before the round limit rule one could reload shells short and get an extra shell or two or three in pretty easily, so the intent of the question was to clarify what Jakers was asking about shot shell length restrictions.

Chuck Anderson Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 There is no minimum SG shell length listed. As far as I'm concerned have at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sako92S Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 It seems that IPSC is going to different direction with 10 rd boxfed and 14 rd with tube fed restrictions and adding 1320mm length limit top of the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Yeah I think USPSA and IPSC are going to be going different directions on a lot of things if the last GA was any indication. I'll leave it at that do I don't get a nasty email from Mr. Pinto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he sends you one tell him you have decided to take over my role so he will have something to do but under no circumstances should you drink his beer.

More can be seen here: http://www.uspsa.org....php?meeting=31 I'm a bit late to this thread, and at this point, there is no longer any info posted at this url... is there anywhere that still summarizes recent rule changes?
