Craig N Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I think Im correct but I wanted to make sure before I talk myself into/outta something. When you look on your USPSA results page and it lists a percentage beside the classifiers, that is the D/C/B/A/M/GM percentages right? Like if you Can You Count and had a 61% out from it that would mean you shot that classifier like a B shooter would. So I can look at my classifier percentages and know when I'm close to a bump correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) yes your classifier % are true %. Match % is convoluted. You will hear guys say things like "you just shot an M classifier score". Or words to that effect And if you take the top six percentages it should come out to what your actual classification is. So yes you can do some quick match and pretty much figure what % you need to shoot on a classifier to get a bump.

Craig N Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 1st classifier I shot since last year was a 59%.....that scared me! Then I got a 54% and a I think a 50% today if did the practiscore right.......there's an old 28% that's going to hurt me but there is a classifier match in a month or 2 so I should get enough in there to get me back to a really high C........it's more an ego booster for right now.

Sarge Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 As you know, classifiers are about SPEED and accuracy. If you dry fire leading up to the match you will really cut your draw/first shot times down dramatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cworks Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I am not a USPSA member but I shoot Open in 3-Gun and I am curious how these classifier's work. Is there a standard course of fire for a classifier? Or is it just the Match Directors imagination and you calculate off of what was shot that day? A quick youtube search and reading a few forms has been no help. Sorry for the thread drift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually these are stages that have been shot at national level matches which are used to calculate the high hit factor score. At the club level we setup the stage and shoot and then monthly USPSA runs a classification update routine that calculates your percentage compared to the high percentage on file.

Like the 6 clays/6 Poppers shotgun classifier there is a 5 popper 2 paper classifier shoots just about the same way without the running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 1 second per shot on the last one but I had a C sneak in there There was a gentleman shooting open so I think we all rushed a little bit.

Craig N Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 If I understood right, I shot 57% on Too Close For Comfort this weekend.........I'm really really looking forward to the classifier match to see if I can break into B! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
