SmittyFL Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 The US IPSC Nationals returns to Universal Shooting Academy this October immediately following World Shoot XVII ON THE SAME STAGES!! 30 stages in 3 days!! For those that couldn't get a slot to the World Shoot here is your opportunity to tackle the same stages as the best shooters in the world just a couple days later. I will likely even produce combined results just for fun to see how you stack up against the WS field. For those already competing in the WS, why not hang out another couple days and compete for a National Championship. Who wouldn't want to spend another few days in Frostproof, Florida?!?!? We are running the Main Match BEFORE the Pre Match which I guess would make it the Post Match! We are doing this to accommodate the competitors and sponsors that may want to stay but wouldn't if there was a 3 day wait. Registration is open and more info can be found on our website! Hope you can make it. http://www.universalshootingacademy.com/matches/us-ipsc-nationals/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan626 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Oh man, I was really looking forward attending again but now having to take 5 days off, this is not gonna happen now for me! I understand what you are doing but in my opinion, only the sponsored/ professional / wealthy shooters can take off that long! How many of us normal Joes can take off that long to attend this match among others? Hope your attendance is high as last year but I certainly can't! What a bummer! Sorry for my rant! Just disappointed with the schedule change! Edited April 2, 2014 by Ryan626 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyFL Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 I kinda see your point Ryan but thats the way big matches are often times. USPSA Nationals requires 4 days off work likely. More days of shooting on less stages. If I wait for the weekend there is no way foreign travelers will wait around. I will have limited spots to shoot our post match, I can probably slip you in there email me if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Hey Guys, Great idea. However, I think (not sure) the Gator Classic will be Oct 23-26? It would be cool if a shooter could shoot your match and the Gator Classic? Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
race1911 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Excellent decision to keep the match as close as possible to the World Shoot.....only 2 days off between is heaven for those trying to either catch some of the Worlds best compete and being able to shoot the same stages only a few days later.......also for those who happen to be competing in World Shoot taking an extra 5 days off to be able to shoot such a large match again in the US IPSC Nationals is a bonus and should be accommodated by them if at all possible.....thanks Smitty, wise decision on the date changes Edited April 7, 2014 by race1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmittyFL Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Contest over...we have a winner! I'd like to thank Steve Yeater for donating the slot. He was registered then something came up and he cannot shoot. He didn't want a refund, he asked me to donate the slot to a junior shooter. Thanks Steve!!

redwoods Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I am shooting Standard in this match. I have never shot an IPSC match, only USPSA. What do I have to be aware of regarding differences between Limited vs. Standard? Besides... 1. Must make 170 power factor instead of 165. 2. Mags cannot be 140mm, must use 126 or 124mm mags (but what is the overall size?) I have dawson intl and SV wedge basepads. 3. Gun must fit in a box, so I pulled off my Dawson Ice magwell and replaced it with my STI magwell 4. I can't use my 6" sexy limited gun, so I am bringing my 5" to fit in the box. 5. No sight picture prior to start signal. 6. My mag carriers have to be like production and single stack, not in the front but on my side. Thanks, Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAB33 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 With the Dawson wedges and SVI mags it is very close, you should mock up a box to check the fit. Besides no sight picture, you can't pull the trigger/dry-fire. So just put the mag in and load the gun and that's it. You need to have you plan for the stage before you get there since the walk thru gives on average one time through. Watch squads and get you plan, then the walk thru is for confirming and finding the targets you couldn't see from behind the tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Randy It would probably be good for you to review the IPSC rule book to cover all of your bases. There are a few gotcha's in there when compared to the USPSA rules. A good example is in navigating through a field course. In IPSC you can't cut across shooting shooting areas (exit the shooting area and reenter in a different location). We commonly do this legally in USPSA stages if cutting across the shooting area is the path of least distance to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy01 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Does anybody know what the parking arrangements will be for the IPSC nationals. I heard it will be 50$ for a 10 day ticket. Is there parking available on the range like the previous years for the nationals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyFL Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 It will be business as usual, no fees. Open parking on the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyFL Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 We have plenty of room in the match if anyone still wants in. Even in the Post match two day schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bockerSV Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 How's the match going for everybody? I see that Eric is shooting open division, the website with the results I can't scroll down on for some strange reason to see how some of the guys from my home club are doing.

SmittyFL Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Everything is running great. Smaller than we had hoped but seems like everyone is enjoying it. Still room for Friday Saturday if anyone wants to jump in. KC was up about 20 on Eric in open at the end of yesterday. Results are scrolling fine for me, not sure why you're having trouble.

Ryan626 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Shannon - it works on a laptop or desktop but cant scroll using mobile devices such as Iphone or Ipad.

Prov1x Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Looks like eric has a 50 point lead over kc now. Has the other guy that is in the lead already completed the match or just on different stages? That's a lot of point difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
