5iron Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I know it's a little early to ask, but do we know, rumors or inside info about the 2017 Limited/ Open Nats location, if it's on the East coast again next year all go to Frostproof this year, if it's coming back to the west coast all sit this year out, pricey trip last year of course had to stay at Disney World good time.

The 2017 USPSA Optic Sight National Championship or Optics Nationals will be March 23-26, 2017, at Universal Shooting Academy in Frostproof, Florida. The Optics National Championship will include Open, Carry Optics, and PCC Divisions, and competitors may only enter one division. Slots for Open Division will be released to Champions and Section Coordinators in mid-November, they will need to be returned and paid by Dec 31 st . Registration for remaining competitors will begin in mid-January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritinUSA Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I'm guessing that the World Shoot schedule is prompting the shift in the dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritinUSA Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 The timing of the Optics Nationals is blowing up on USPSA's Facebook page. Much of the Northern States will probably still be under snow when this match starts so practicing is going to be nearly impossible for a sizable chunk of the potential competitors. With the World Shoot in August, USPSA's options are a tad limited. During the last WS year (2014) there was combined Nationals in Utah and I was expecting that format for 2017, it would solve a lot of scheduling problems; One big centrally-located Nationals, pick your division.

CrashDodson Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Lets hope. The closer it is the the center of the country the more people that can attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hello: I for one would like to see just one big nationals for all divisions. Make it one week long and be done with it. It would be easier on staff and also for people to take the time off. I also think it would be good if you could only enter one division as well. As for the timing I think if you want to get more kids involved you will have to do it during the time when school is out or summer time. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 If we got all the sponsors we normally get for the separate Nationals to sponsor a single match, just think how big that prize table would be and how much extra revenue would be available for props, steel, walls etc.. In a WS year I think that a combined Nationals is the way to go, perhaps have a single Nationals for a couple of years and use the data to determine if the format works or not. I like the idea of a 4-5 day match, with 24-30 stages I think it could accommodate around 700-720 competitors maybe more. It would certainly bring the prestige back to the event. A single event would be easier and cheaper for vendors to attend too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'll try to catch it in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) Posted by USPSA president Mike Foley on another forum: "There is a board policy that dictates that a president cannot announce a Nats location or date without a contract. It is in place to prevent competitors from making plans based on the potential of changing venues. I don't have a contract yet, but the plan is to have an irons Nats, Production/Limited/L10 in October in the Western US."

BlackBuzzard Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 How does squading work for 2017 nats in Frostproof? I signed up and paid online, but no options shown for selecting dates or squads......if I even have a choice? I understand its format is March 23-24 or 25-26. How do I pick?

BritinUSA Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Registration for allocated slots ends on 12/31... I suspect that details on squadding will be posted shortly after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParaLarry Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Per USPSA Down Range this morning:Online self-squadding will open at 2 p.m. EST, on Jan. 21, for the 2017 USPSA Sig Sauer Optics National Championship. Competitors that have returned and paid their earned slots will be able to choose a squad and schedule. The match will be a two-day format: March 23-24 or March 25-26. USPSA members that did not receive an earned slot will be able to register on Jan. 28. So non-slotters get to register after squadding?Won't be any weekend squads left.

ar15rick Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Well i was scheduled for another match during this time and I just found out that the match I had signed up for got cancelled. I had gotten a call from USPSA a couple months ago to reserve my spot for open nationals since I had won open B class at Area 4. I guess I missed out on that registration and have to wait until January 28 to register. So those that are familiar with the nationals, do you think the weekend slots fill up faster? Also, where is the best place to get a hotel ( Drive time to range)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
