XRe Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Look down at the bottom of the table legs - see the lines on the ground?? Them are the fault lines. I like redmist10's plan - shoot from the top of the table It's still w/in the fault lines.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I think that'd work for K.C. (that kid's a frickin' spider monkey). He's got hops like a mofo, yo. Me, OTOH... I'd break the damn table. I knew they were intended to be the fault lines, but didn't see 'em designated as such. I just went and looked at some other classifiers, and they aren't designated either. No biggy... it was late when I posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Wait a minute here. Where the hell are y'all coming up with your measurements for height? Bottom of the port is at table top height. So, 48" minus 12" ('cause the port is centered) plus 30" equals 66" equals 5' 6". Hrmmmm............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRe Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 There's 36" of wall above the table. If you do the "jump on the table" thing, should have plenty of room to work with. If you're really tall, you might be able to shoot over it, but, since you're 4 feet away (the depth of the table), you'd have to be really tall redmist10, wasn't meaning to call you a gamer I knew you were being sarcastic.... The table probably wouldn't support my a**, either.... I'd like to see this set up, sometime.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I wanted to go to prone and shoot under it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmist10 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I wanted to go to prone and shoot under it <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Strangely that might be allowed ...why else would you raise the bottom of the barrier? Not sure my big butt would fit under any easier than it would rest on top of the table . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 You guys are making me chuckle with this 'gaming of the classifier' stuff. I am a die-hard gamer...through and through. The object of our sport is to find the best way to get the most points per second. Let me throw this at you though...do you want to be the guy that moves up in classification from gaming a classifer?

redmist10 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Certainly not. It started out innocently enough with a question regarding how it was setup and shot. Would never game a classifier - what's the point? I have enough trouble trying to shoot them as written (see Barrel of Fun... ). I was merely asking if it was an option to shoot over the top (before I read the fine print detailing the height of the barrier). But it does look like someone would be allowed to shoot under the table - but it would be of little benefit. More of an "observation" type post than an actual "gaming the classifier" type. Something tells me I'll see this soon now that he thinks I'm gaming it... Gotta get off the Internet It's killing my percentage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Let me throw this at you though...do you want to be the guy that moves up in classification from gaming a classifer? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> no! If i shot nearly a master score in L10 84.xx percent, there is no need to game it.. sendro wooley must have been smokin crack on that one!!

waktasz Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I think it would be fun to see someone try and game it, either by jumping on the table or proning on it or under it, but it would take way longer to do this than to just shoot it straight so why bother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Di Vita Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 That's the thing...I wouldn't do it to move up in classification but to win the stage at the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulW Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Shoot this one today. It feels like it's been a years since I've shot a classifier. 4.86/36 points/ 7.4074 hf This felt just so-so to me. Just tried to stay smooth. 2 c's on the open left target pissed me off. Lazy shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobert1 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Those of you who have shot this one. Did you shoot thru the top half of the port ( the screen) . Just did at the Charity Match in MI and it was considered soft cover, thus able to shoot thru. Who makes the official call ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted June 6, 2005 Author Share Posted June 6, 2005 I am fairly certain that they shot that wrong and it shouldn't count as a classifer. Rule 9.1.6 says that "Unless specifically described as "soft cover" in the written stage briefing..." There is/was no wording that described that as softcover...the rule book would default that to hard cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Shouldn't someone tell Sedro? MD, maybe? I'd rather see the scores for this one match get tossed than another new classifier get eliminated for inconsistent administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 was told they will not be using this one as a classifier, instead it will be just another stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mainus Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Has anybody gotten word on how this classifier should be shot. I have it set up for tomorrows shoot and we were going to treat the screen as soft cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 Pretty sure it is hard cover...as per the rule book (all props are hard cover unless stated otherwise). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilTerry Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I have a confirmation e-mail somewhere in my files from John Amidon which states Rule 9.1.6 says that "Unless specifically described as "soft cover" in the written stage briefing..." There is no wording that describes the mesh as softcover therefore it is hard cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no wording that describes the mesh as softcover therefore it is hard cover. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry I did not read this thread until today, but the original stage this classifier was derived from was Stage 5 at the USPSA 2003 Area 8 Championship. You can look at those match results to see what 300 other shooters did with this stage. The only difference is that we had the targets at 45' instead of 40'. This is a photo from the original setup. Also, as you have already found out, the screening is "HARD COVER". Makin Change, 2003 Area 8 Championship, Stage 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mainus Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Thank-you guys, This place rocks. You just saved me a whole lot of headaches from having to throw out a classifier from a 4 classifier match. Thank you once again.

aerosigns Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Okay, I will play on this one, if anyone is still following the thread. Please tell me exactly how you shot this one. If I have to shoot through the port, my thought was to go to the left hand side kneeling. Then rotate right to left through the targets. I haven't seen or shot this one, and I have it coming up as a classifier in Jan. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
