Carmoney Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 As many of you know, after years of campaigning the wheel at major matches around the U.S., I have mostly been shooting other divisions the past couple years. But I have decided that 2014 is the "Year of the Revo" and it's time to get back to some serious roundgunning! I'm going to break out my 627 on February 1 (the very first day it will be legal in USPSA Revolver Division!) for the WIIT indoor championship in Rockford, IL. This will be a nice early warm-up for Revolver Nationals, although I think I will probably be shooting the 625 at PASA Park in May. I also took a few minutes to sign up for Revolver Division at both Area 3 (Grand Island, NE) and Area 5 (Barry, IL). This is just a start, by the way--I plan to shoot many more major matches this year. I want to encourage all my revolver friends out there, plus the new folks who are just getting involved with the wheel, to get signed up for these bigger matches. For those of you attending Area 3 or Area 5, be sure to jump on my squad--we'll have a blast! This is our big opportunity to show the USPSA Board of Directors that they are doing the right thing by keeping Revolver as a separate division, and encouraging more involvement by liberalizing our equipment rules. Who's with me?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHill Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I may not make it to as many matches as you but will be campaigning a 625 all year in USPSA. Still on the fence for a 8 shooter I'm not convinced at my performance level that more practice and ammo would not suit me better. See you at Nationals that's for sure!

BHill Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I pounced on that pretty quick. In addition to the above I have motivated a few shooter to bring their wheel guns out to the match this weekend to shoot. They are a bit more interested now that someone is campaigning one and they have someone to compete against. The new rules may just give us that push to keep some momentum. Fingers are crossed.

Bwana Six-Gun Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hitting Nationals, MS Classic and Gator(assuming I can get in.) All with my trusty 625. Hoping to find a 929 if they ever show up where us peons can get one, but the 625 will still get most of the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Z Sr Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 We are doing Back-2-Back Level 2 Matches in April. 1st Match will be on Saturday the 26th and 2nd will be Sunday the 27th. They will be 2 separate matches, but will be identical, so you can really see the difference between 6 shot and 8 shot guns. Shoot the EXACT same match with each gun and compare for yourself. My gut tells me that hit factors will be around 8-10% higher with the 8 shot guns, regardless of skill level. These matches are open to ALL Divisions to come play. Some are showing an interest to go SS Minor and then Major, or run Prod then fill the mags the next day and go Lim Minor. Registration is now open on Match Signup. Be SAFE and have FUN!!
