Coach Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 We always have some rules question, or some complaint. How about a thread about what is right in the world of USPSA. So lets here it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdphotoguy Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I have several in no particular order The matches are a boat load of fun and unlike any other shooting sport Constantly meet wonderful folks willing to bend over backwards to help a fellow competitor There is a division for everyone, those will little disposal income to those with way to much For what most outsides would consider a dangerous sport it is in fact very safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie j Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 No better system exists to evaluate your skill level, even with its drawbacks the classification system is the best in the business . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristianHE Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 For me, having a clear set of rules, that stays consistent (not changing every 3 months), is a great thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHA-LEE Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Clear and concise rules that every USPSA club follows nation wide Exemplary safety record and enforcement of safety rules Classification system that accurately rates your skill level Unique shooting challenges are common every time you attend a match This sport attracts and retains the most selfless, giving and nice people in the nation Good competition available for all skill levels Provides an excellent foundation for vastly improving anyone’s handgun skills Many Divisions are available to accommodate pretty much any budget or handgun type You have the opportunity to shoot with and meet the best shooters in the world at any level match It’s a lot of fun Edited April 20, 2012 by CHA-LEE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErichF Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 No two matches are ever the same, no matter how many you go to on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jar Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 USPSA lays out a variety of interesting shooting problems and then lets you shoot them however you want within a consistent fair set of rules. Shooters are some of the most helpful, giving, happy people I know. USPSA is a member driven org. When something gets out of whack with what the membership wants (like the 3lb production trigger rule) it gets fixed quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSteel Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 With the sport consistently growing we are able to give a safe, knowledgeable and practical training to those that may otherwise learn or continue unsafe gun handling practices. If you don't think it makes a huge difference, visit an open public range someday and just sit back and watch... SCARRY....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooting for M Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Looks like it's already been said, but no two matches are ever the same and you can choose how to solve each stage as it best suits your ability and equipment. I like that there is no such thing as a "perfect" match or stage ever. Someone will always come along and do it faster or more accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroe3 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Is there anything more fun then running and gunning? I think not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpolans Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 1. Rules tend to be objective with less room for subjective interpretation. 2. Freestyle philosophy. (Good) stages have a problem solving element that requires a shooter to think things through and have multiple solutions. Great stages will have different best solutions based on shooters abilities. 3. Variety of divisions allow a wide variety of guns to be competitive.

shuey134 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'll have to agree with everyone here that says the matches are fun. I just had a baby this year and won't have the time to get out and practice much, but I still want to shoot a couple majors just for the fun. Can't say I'd like spending that much money without being competitive in many other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvb Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 A leadership that is elected by members and largely listens to the members (eg the recent trigger weight rule change that was later removed before it went into effect). -rvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Lorm Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Good people, always willing to help new shooters, honest as they come, the same rules apply no matter where u shoot, safety 1st, alot of divisions to choose from and most clubs have 4-5 field stages and a classifier. Lots of practice n a controlled safe place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
