Flexmoney Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Funny thread. Headache forever about not having enough Revo shooters, now headache because there is fear that there will be too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Agreed. That would be an awesome problem to have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester121 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Well I haven't been to one but I'm ready. Not only haven't I been to one, but I'm not ready either (skill-wise anyhow). But like I do every other weekend, I'll do my best and have a lot of fun, if they'll have me. I believe when I checked the 2012 SS results, there were 300-350 shooters on the results place. If even 40-50 of them stick around it shouldn't be too hard for us to hit well over a hundred REV entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z Sr Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I will try to start saving a few $$$ now to make it, Mel won't shoot revo, but will come along if we can make it, I think it's a great idea!!! Thanks Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This needs to be in the form of a great prize structure, or a reasonable entry fee, or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Amish 1 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 How to get a revo slot? Not that many Area matches to win one. And the sections may not even award one if there is little month-to-month revo participation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This needs to be in the form of a great prize structure, or a reasonable entry fee, or both. My suggestion would be to reserve Single Stack's Friday slots for people signing up for both matches (or offer a tiny price break for a 2-fer.) Isn't it the entry fee for Nats a bit steep?

CDPMatt Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 So, I've shot revo a few times in USPSA and have shot it a ton in IDPA. I'm retired from IDPA now and shoot 100% USPSA. How do I get a slot to the 2013 Revolver Nationals? Will it be as easy as just signing up or will I have to shoot "X" amoubt of local matches to qualify? Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 We don't yet know how they will handle registration for the Revolver Nationals. Personally, I doubt they will use a slot system for the first year. If they do set up a slot system, there will undoubtedly be some sort of waiting list option which will give everybody a chance. I'm guessing it will be first-come, first-served. As Sam pointed out, they can handle 150 shooters in a one-day match format at PASA with no problem.

CDPMatt Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Thanks, Mike. We'll see.... A few of our local shooters travel up to the SS Nats every year. I'll just have to tag along and bring my revo stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowrider Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Well if a slot is available count me in. I don't stand a chance of getting a slot for SS Nats, but I'll make the drive for revo for sure. I'm not able to make many of the large matches, but I've been kicking myself for missing MCC last year. Ain't happening again so for this year it's MCC, this (if I can get a slot) and maybe A4 depending on venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 The only thing I know for sure it that DC AMMO will be a sponsor for the 2013 Revolver Nationals. It may not be huge, but I will support this match as best as I can..... Doug Carden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I cam seat 4 adults comfortably in my van and maybe 6 if we figure out packing of the gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowrider Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I cam seat 4 adults comfortably in my van and maybe 6 if we figure out packing of the gear Definitely might be up for that. Splitting gas at these prices is always a help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gb32 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I don't even own a revolver and I'm going to shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.343 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I wonder if the single stack guys are worried about a bunch of revolver shooting riff raff trying to get in their match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Griffin Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 For that matter, how do I get in on the SS match? I shot it three times before it went official and if I'm stuck going to PASA I would just as soon maximize my shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snertley Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I for one would very much support this event. I have not gone to Nats since '08 due to it being in Vegas and going there doesn't appeal to me at all as well as the expence of getting there. Being held at PASA I think I could maybe get a couple more guys to go. I like the one day format and being able to drive there in a reasonable amount of time.(For me driving in a day is reasonable). I would like to see the stage size increased from the SSN stages, I think we are all more than cappable of shooting a bunch of field courses and like them.

Carmoney Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 I would like to see the stage size increased from the SSN stages, I think we are all more than cappable of shooting a bunch of field courses and like them. And that, my friends, is the down-side of the plan to run the Revo Nats behind the SS Nats. I'll guarantee you they will not change the stages all that much from the SS stages--which means 24 rounds max and fairly limited movement. We're simply not gonna have a bunch of big-runnning field courses--which will disappoint some Revo guys, but make some others equally happy. On the bright side, this year's SS stages were better than ever. If the stages are equally good next year, it will be a fun and challenging match to shoot with the wheel.

snertley Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 It is one step closer to what most of us think the Revo Nats should be. I will shoot it either way. But I do think stages should be bigger like the other division nationals. Just my opinion. I feel that a good course is good and fun for all divisions to shoot. Not just SS or Revo or Production....,, Good for one, good for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffwalsh Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I see a lot of guys is driving distance saying it's a good idea. Who wants to fly across the country to shoot a one-day match?? I think we are moving in the wrong direction. I think all the Nationals including SS should be under USPSA control. They have the range out in Vegas for a week. There is no reason they can't run a 30-stage match with 600 or more shooters and rival any match in the world. I don't know why the match has to be split up other than so the same shooter can win more than one national championship. Why not have one big match and let everybody shoot one gun??? I don't know how many stages to expect but I will be disappointed in seeing no field courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Its got to start somewhere, a 1 day match fills up and shows good support for a few years then it could be expanded. Area 5 last year wasnt that bad, it had plenty of tough shots, and a few quick burn down stages. I am excited even if it is a one day match. Of course if I had my way all the matches would be held in Tulsa at USSA. That way I can be home in less than 2 hours.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 From having shot the SSTK Nationals here is what to expect. stages of 12 to 24 rounds. some movement, but nothing far. Foot work is paramount. Half a foot off and you won't see that target behind that wall,port or something of that matter. 18 stages is the norm, and yes they can be all shot in 1 day fairly easy. It will be challenging, but don't look for some good fun run n gun. (I could be wrong though). Liz and I WILL be there. I'll be shooting my 646 and liz will be running her 625. As the "Antiqutqted Division" that has fought just to be still in the game now is the time to put the issue to rest of is there enough participation to warrant it's own Nationals. Sign up when the time comes and I'll see you in Memphis this November, and Quincy next year. :cheers: Hopalong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Oh and Lefty Griffin. It is just like getting in the other Nationals, get on the wait list if you don't get a slot through the sections/area matches. Hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
