Jadeslade Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Well like you know I think uspsa has about as much to do with the Desert Classic as El Niño. I'm really asking the guys at Rio why the flip? It's only been there about 25 years. Well you got an answer from A GUY FROM RIO. I have been a member out there for dogs years and that was the info I was given. But you can believe whatever you want. I didn't know you were the match director, sorry. Shot it a bunch, and used to belong to the club. It would be informative to put out a statement. Some people just want to know. Regime change was what one current member told me. I really don't care to argue. Was just asking for information from people who made the decision. Edited January 3, 2015 by Jadeslade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadeslade Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Then email practical@rsscaz.com and ask Paul directly instead of asking generically on the forum. Edited... . I can just call Paul. What's your point? . It was informative what Para Larry posted. This is the Area 2 Desert Classic thread. For many shooters the terms Desert Classic and Area 2 have been synonymous. It has been one of the premier, if not the premier uspsa pistol match in the nation. I don't know what has you all powered up, but it's not about you. Forums are for shared knowledge. Just curious about the change. Comparing a match like the WesternStates SS, which I have shot and think is an excellent match, with a 3 day major area match is the proverbial apples and oranges. It's an important decision in the shooting world. I am sure a lot more people than I would like to know. You're looking for criticism. There isn't any. This match would fill whether it was the Area 2 Match or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHA-LEE Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Did you not get the match notices that states that Squading will not be opened until Feb 6th at 6PM mountain time? Unless you are in a time machine posting from the future. I think you still have to wait 3 hours for it to open up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squad 3 - are you the Chuck S - OPN on Squad 3? Got an email from PistolStats with a PIN number but no link. I still can't change my USPSA login since it was hacked; apparently my email on file they send the reset to is an old one that doesn't exist anymore so I'm stuck in a Catch-22.

Dutchman195 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm super excited for this match. Luckily its close to home for me. It'll only be my second major USPSA (first being USPSA 2014 Nationals) If only I knew what gun I was shooting! >< Heard nothing but good things about this match from people that shot it last year. As always looking to meet everyone from the forums and hopefully learn a thing or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
