Carmoney Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I'm considering hitting A5 in August--but it's always more fun when there is healthy competition in the division. Anybody else planning to campaign a revo there this year? I am told they are down to Friday only, but haven't confirmed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterboy Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I'm signed up for Friday. Shooting single stack as of now but if there is a decent number of wheels I'd switch to revo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Can you access the squad list and see if there are any revolvers signed up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seancass Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I was starting to think about it. At this rate, at least i could get Third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snertley Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Area 5 was fun last year but I will be on vacation with the family then moving my daughter up to Fargo that weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Only 4 revolvers this year. Not enough for any sort of recognition, apparently. Excellent stages, though. It was a very challenging match. Tons of hardcover. Edited August 24, 2016 by Carmoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan454 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I'm going to try and make it next year, wasn't going to work out for 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 No prize, no plaque.....and they couldn't even be bothered to list the Revolver Division winner in the Front Sight article. No respect. But frankly, with only four competitors who were willing to run the wheel at Area 5, it's hard to blame them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckaroo45 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 +1 with Carmoney. I "won" the 2010 Fla State USPSA Revo but with only 6 entrants we didn't even get mentioned at the awards meeting. I understand the match directors' position but it sure takes the fun out of it. Between vacation days, gas, hotel, food, increased match fees, etc there are more rewarding things to blow my money on than donating it to a select few. I haven't been back and don't plan to. Just my sour grapes. YRMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdub05 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) The fun part is trying to beat folks who shoot other divisions with a wheel gun.? Edited January 25, 2017 by jdub05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckaroo45 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Ah, yes .... there is that. Especially when you can add FAT (or fluffy) to the description "fat old man". It seems to make their pain sting a bit more. Unfortunately it's not enough to offset the time, effort or expense, at least not in my case. Guess I'm officially a curmudgeon. Now if I can just grow the over the top eyebrows I'll have something. buckaroo45 Naval Aviator NRA Life and Benefactor USPSA FY63917 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordfish Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 95% gonna make Area 5 in 2018, and probably bring a buddy with me that will shoot revo, so there's 2 more. Gotta get organized early! We shoot their weird 3gun match up there and really like the location, so we'll make the 2 hour drive. Not so bad really. Never shot a USPSA match up there though (or a USPSA match in general, yet.)
