d_striker Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'm thinking what the next few provisional divisions will be. A lot of people like to argue, "what harm does a new provisional division do" so I say let's keep adding them. Why stop at two new divisions when we can have 6 more? Here are the provisional divisions I would like to see: -BUG division. 6 rounds max minor scoring. -Limited Minor 15 -Production 15 -Limited Minor with Optics. 140mm mag -Lever action carbine -Tactical (lights, lasers, etc) -.22 pistol division. Introduce Ultra Minor PF -.22 Rifle division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I like where this thread is going. One thing you missed was a compact division (bigger than bug, but smaller than full-sized). I think it would draw new shooters into the sport, and we already agreed our matches need more shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ming the Merciless Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I've never understood the mind set that thinks too many classes hurts the sport. Yes, some classes will not have the participation of the more popular classes, but it certainly doesn't seem to hurt the NHRA. They have over 200 classes within 15 different categories.

MilkMyDuds Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 While we are at it, why not SBR and airsoft division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) While we are at it, why not SBR and airsoft division? excellent suggestions. also spring powered bb and co2 bb. do we need a full-auto division. I bet it would be hella fun to shoot, and bring in new members! Edited January 25, 2016 by motosapiens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinready300ex Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) I'm getting tired of Major how about Open Major and Minor Limited Major and minor Limited 10 Major and Minor Production Major and Minor Single Stack Major and Minor Rev Major and Minor CO Major and Minor PCC Major and Minor So that is 16 divisions, with 6 classifications per division. So that is 96 different classes. Then do like IDPA and make every classification that has a shooter get at least a trophy. If we do it right every shooter at the match should finish in the top 3 in there division/classification. I just took us from 8 divisions to 16, that is a 100% increase. That is how you grow the sport. Edited January 25, 2016 by Racinready300ex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onepocket Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I would like to see the race division. Anything goes except no OPTICS or COMPS. No major or minor but it has to be center fire. No weight limits or length. No magazine restrictions. I would like to see what guns would evolve from this. And if this didn't work flint lock open.

Rangerdug Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 .22 classes would be a excellent for the sport... Especially for junior shooters. It would allow for kids especially girls to compete, and develop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frgood Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I like this. HAve one or two 'experimental' divisions each year. Just to mix things up. Lever Action would be wicked pissah [yes, I'm originally from Boston] The concept of .22 as an aggressive entry point would also be great and appealing to a much larger audience than now.

But to be scored as a separate match. For a sub minor division to compete with minor or major PF would be insane. But this would make it possible for those on a more limited income to shoot with us.

That is how you grow the sport. That, OR redo the ratios so that the extra capacity in minor is not Trumped by the scoring advantage of major.If its capacity limited, there would still be an argument for separating minor and major.... But if you had different capacity limits for each (limited Major=10 rounds, Limited minor= 15... Or something equitable) they could play in the same sandbox, and pick their guns based on their own personal strengths/weaknesses. I'm thinking what the next few provisional divisions will be.

EngineerEli Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Well, as everyone knows the equipment to get into even production is still so expensive, so I propose this new Economic Division. Production Single: Same guns as production, but you are only required/allowed one mag. (to save on equipment costs!) That one mag must be tactically reloaded through out the stage! Oh, holsters and mag pouches are too expensive too, so all stages will have a special table start position, and the mag will always be started in the gun or on the table.
