aandabooks Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I'm starting out in Production as a "C". Best news is that my 4 scores are 67, 50, 50 and 24%. Should be easy to replace that 24% with a much higher score. I'll shoot another classifier next Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I want to start USPSA but I am overwhelmed with all the different rules Only one rule - don't break the 180 (don't turn around and point a loaded gun at the other shooters). "All the rules" is IDPA .... Get a safe holster, some extra mags / holders/ muffs & eye protection, and go shoot at your local range - just tell them you're new at it.

DreGarciaTAT2 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Be cautious of climbing that ladder too quickly... When my buddy jumped to A, he went from kicking butt to getting his kicked real quick!! :-0 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93notch Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yeah that I haven't figured out yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlmiller1 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Yeah that I haven't figured out yethit factor is simply how many points you earn per second. Then for scoring your hit factor is compared to whoever shot it best. This is a percentage. That percentage is multiplied by the number of points available on that stage. That number is your stage points. Ok sounds hard but break my description into 3 parts. Hit factor. Percentage. Stage points. Not as hard as it looks, is it?

Vincerama Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I want to start USPSA but I am overwhelmed with all the different rules Only one rule - don't break the 180 (don't turn around and point a loaded gun at the other shooters). "All the rules" is IDPA .... Get a safe holster, some extra mags / holders/ muffs & eye protection, and go shoot at your local range - just tell them you're new at it. That's a bit simplified. You need to know the local range rules with respect to gun handling as well. For instance, often no ammo even on your body when you go to a safe table. Never handle your gun outside the safe area, except if you are the shooter and the RO has issues the "make ready" command. The 180 rule is the MUZZLE of the gun must not break 180 degrees of down range. YOU can face everyone else, YOUR GUN cannot. That includes up at the sky and down at the ground. Your finger needs to be out of the trigger guard unless you are actively engaging a target (ie out when running or reloading) If in doubt, ask the RO. Tell them you're a newbie, and when you are at the starting line ask him/her "OK, please remind me when I can touch the gun and when I can draw, I'm a newbie, I don't want to DQ". ANd they will help you out. I took a USPSA safety class held by one of the local ranges, this is the best thing to do. Take the class on Saturday, go shoot the match on Sunday. For your first COUPLE of matches, forget the points, focus only on safety. In fact, walk the course, don't run it or you might accidentally break the 180. Forget points, just don't DQ and after a couple of times, then start to try and get faster. If you go fast at first, you might DQ, and then you will be discouraged and might drop the sport. I've seen Master shooters DQ. Usually one guy at a match DQs, don't be that guy! Then have fun! Don't sweat points and ranking. Get safe first and play so the safety rules get imbedded in your brain and are automatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooldylocks Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 So long as ammo is in magazines or an ammunition box you can have it at a safety table. I am too lazy to go get my rule book, but I guarantee you that is in there. If it wasn't you wouldn't be able to gun up from your bag if (like most of us) you use the same bag for ammo and your guns.

Guest Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) You need to be a member of USPSA and have at least four classifier courses on file. Not all matches will have a classifier stage (course) as part of the match. Possibly the matches you went to didn't have one. You can always look up your member number at www.uspsa.org to see if you have any classifiers on file. http://www.uspsa.org/uspsa-faq-details.php To the OP - congrats on getting your initial classification! It is always a kick getting a new classification. I keep all of my cards pinned up in my little gun area along with some other mementos as a reminder of the fun times.
