midvalleyshooter Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Why is production scored minor? I know its set up for 9mm pistols and 9mm is minor when bullet weight is multiplied by velocity. But there is no major/minor in production. Production is a separate class so why not just award points as in major scoring? MVS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 because then 9mm wouldn't be competitive. Given the option to shoot major or minor you have to shoot major to score the best, so that's why minor only in production, someone decided the 9mm's need a place to play in a limited category Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is no major/minor in production. Production is a separate class so why not just award points as in major scoring? I wasn't there when this decision was made, but I content with that rule. Accuracy is the key - scoring minor increases the importance of accuracy. One might see way too many "spray and pray" kind already, no need for more IMHO. Additionally, regardless which scoring policy is chosen, the overwhelming number of production shooters will choose the 9 mils - due to its magazine capacity, and its more controllable feature. That is, in production we mostly see the minor calibers. It isn't harder to control, so why should IPSC compensate something that is not existing?
