benos Posted May 2, 2001 Share Posted May 2, 2001 Back to a good 'ol shootin question. What is the hightest number of stages won (expressed as a percentage) by a competitor at a US IPSC or USPSA national championship? And, who was this shooter, and what year did it happen? Example: Johnny Crankmaster won 12 out of the 14 stages at the 1912 US National IPSC Championship. Answer: Johnny Crankmaster, 1912, 85.7%. Somebody should be all over this one...

benos Posted May 16, 2001 Author Share Posted May 16, 2001 I know, I can't believe this question hasn't gotten a single response! Oh well, it saves on the free books. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted May 16, 2001 Share Posted May 16, 2001 Todd Jarret in 1997 Open Nationals? Jerry Barnhart in 1999 Limited Nationals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted May 17, 2001 Author Share Posted May 17, 2001 Erik, Remember, or maybe you weren't on the last forum, but a "guessfest" won't take the title. You have to answer the question specifically. That's why I asked such a detailed question - it will be difficult to guess the correct COMPLETE answer. good luck, be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted May 17, 2001 Share Posted May 17, 2001 Hey after two weeks and no answer, it was time to start guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted May 17, 2001 Share Posted May 17, 2001 Any hints? Plz? Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ankeny Posted May 18, 2001 Share Posted May 18, 2001 I have searched the entire Web with just about every search engine available and I can't find the answer. Anyone want to know how Ray Chapman did in 1975 at the first IPSC World Shoot? Or how about Jan Foss winning in Saltzburg with a Sig 210? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted May 18, 2001 Author Share Posted May 18, 2001 OK Eric, I get your picture. Here is the hint: this is an easy one. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted May 19, 2001 Share Posted May 19, 2001 Searching the results from the USPSA website (that go back to 1995) I come up with a tie of 53.8 % by Jerry Barnhardt at the 1999 Limited Nationals and by Rob Leatham at the 1996 Limited Nationals. Perversity makes me wonder though if Jerry Barnhardt posted a higher percentage the year he showed up with the first red dot scope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted May 19, 2001 Author Share Posted May 19, 2001 Here's another hint: You'll have to back farther than 1995. And, for the future, if anyone has an idea for a good trivia question, send it to me an email, or via the "message" feature of the forum. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Dunlop Posted May 20, 2001 Share Posted May 20, 2001 Was it Jerry Barnhart at the IPSC North American Championship in 1992? Just a guess; I can't find results anywhere, but figure 30 stages, Jerry would have won 18 for 60% P.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted May 20, 2001 Share Posted May 20, 2001 I was there (it was at my home club at the time) and I don't recall the exact number of stages won by each but Jerry and Robbie were almost tied for stage wins with Doug K. picking up a few as well as Matt McLearn, Bruce Piatt et al. I do remember one stage though, it was 1 target 2 shots from the draw. Both Robbie and Jerry shot a .89 total times (like wow dude) but they gave the stage win to Robbie because he fired 3 rounds!

Duane Thomas Posted May 21, 2001 Share Posted May 21, 2001 Okay, this is just a total wild-ass guess: Rob Leatham, 1980 Nationals, 100 percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted May 21, 2001 Share Posted May 21, 2001 Ray Chapman - 1975 World Shoot. The IPSC websight said he only dropped one point in the entire match. It doesn't say how many stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ankeny Posted May 21, 2001 Share Posted May 21, 2001 Big Dave: Yeah, I saw that on the Web site too. Problem is, Brian specifically asked about USPSA or US IPSC. The 1975 shoot was across the big pond. It will be interesting to see if Brian accepts your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted May 21, 2001 Share Posted May 21, 2001 Ron, Yeah, I looked at Brian's question before I decided to post, and decided to do it anyway. Sometimes you just gotta throw something against the wall and see what sticks, (and more importantly) what doesn't. Besides, its not about the book for me, I already have one. I just thought in researching this I might learn something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ankeny Posted May 21, 2001 Share Posted May 21, 2001 BigDave: Yeah, I hear you. I have the book too. This question is just starting to bug me...the answer is probably easy. You know, somewhere along the line someone probably won all of the stages in Open or Limited, but I can't find any information on-line that goes back far enough. When we hear the answer we will probably pound our foreheads and gnash our teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted May 21, 2001 Author Share Posted May 21, 2001 The "over the pond" thing is right out. Another hint: it really isn't easy because the shooter did not win all the stages. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted May 21, 2001 Share Posted May 21, 2001 Remember too that the Open/Limited separate matches only started in...I think '93 or '94 so Theres good chance it wasn't one of those. And theres almost no chance that anyone is good enough to win all stages. The competition is just too tough. I'm thinking the answer will be well below 50% and it might go back to '82/'83 Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted May 21, 2001 Share Posted May 21, 2001 Instinct is telling me that the answer is Brian Enos. The year? I'm working on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ankeny Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 Pat: The answer has to be more than 50 per cent. I am thinking that it was 1983, when Leatham and Enos finished first and second. I can't find the stats though and it's driving me nuts...a short trip I assure you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 I cannot even spell IPSC let alone answer any questions!!! I just bought the book and damn glad I did.... Brian even signed it so I bought another one(to keep the original in pristine condition) and he signed the second one too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 Sounds like you need a third one ---- maybe with a request not to sign this one so that you can actually read it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
