MTrout40 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 TGun, I'm not hanging my head at all! I'm pretty happy with my Area 8 match. I had 2 misses for the match and one little bobble when I tripped over my shoe laces Congrats on your high M win! ( I'm assuming this is Mr. Thacker?) I won't be at A3. That's a little out of my travel range. However, I'll be at the Tri-State, Mid Atlantic, and the Nationals. I don't believe we have met, so hopefully I'll see you at one of those matches.

TommyGun Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 MT, Thanks , I got bumped as the match started. Wasn't sure how it would turn out I hopefully will be at those three also, I have two little ones that need my attention too. I will try to shoot both Mid and Tri-state on Sun. I have already planned for A3, A5, Natnl's and maybe A2. I'd like to be able to slip in a few other Points Series matches here and there. I also look forward to meeting you. I know alot of names, but still haven't had a chance to meet everyone. Keep up the good work, and we'll see ya soon................ TGun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Tom, will get ahold of you via email and give you a shout tommorow. Depending on when the mathces are maybe we can all travel together we all are only a couple hours apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 everything is A OK with the classification system wish there was a way to get rid of sandbaggers though... i guess there really isnt any fair way to do it,, unless the RO adjusts the score sheets while hes not looking... make the mike into an A or the 18.90 into a 8.90.....only if they really deserve it. hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRamsey Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Like I said. All is very good when you start with the theory. I suck and work up from that point. You can do nothing but get better. That being said, I think everyone is capable of the high levels of performance. Its a subconcious thing, you have to want it. Then be willing to do what it takes. I am quitting my job, starting a business in the industry for what. Not to get rich, but to make GM in 2 years. Lofty goal yes, but I will do it. Then I won't suck quite so bad. I'm curious how old are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRamsey Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I'm 43. I have been shooting with Chris Tilley once or twice a week for the past month. I've improved 60 or 70 %. I'm interested in finding out what the limit of my potential is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should there be a notion of "demonstrated ability" where by the appropriate "authorities" can effectively force a reclassification on a person if there is evidence of intentional sandbagging? I'm an unintentional sandbagger apparently, since my scores on classifier stages are often 30% lower than my scores on other stages. It's either 'cause I'm trying too hard or that there's less margin for recovery on classifier type stages. Overall, I think the classification system is an interesting "side match" and that it's one's overall placing that counts. If there's a big dog competing, then it's really meaningful. So, going back to the original question, my take would be that we ought stop taking the classification system *too* seriously and just shoot the match. Then, there's less need to worry if there should be superGMs or UltraMasters or ... Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
