Round_Gun_Shooter Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 At a club match, what division do you shoot in? It is no fun competing against your self so do you shoot the revolver in another division? Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.carden Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I would stay in revo div. Two reasons: If you shoot a classifier it should count for revo. Also, if there are any other "possible" revo people out there that watch the results of other clubs, they might be inclined to shoot there with you if they see another "life" form in it.

AzShooter Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Shoot Revo or the bottom feeders that you beat will get mad. Does it really matter what class you put yourself in? I enjoy shooting my Revolver and don't have to compete against anyone else. It's nice to see how I stack up in the overall but as long as I'm doing my best I don't care where I come in.

Jerry V Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I'll echo what the others wrote. But add that it's reassuring when checking out other club's match results and seeing the occasional revolver shooter. That and this group is the only way I'd know other's do compete USPSA with a revolver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcambre Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 My last few years of Revolver shooting in IPSC where with an 8 shot, so I shot limited 10. Louis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowsure Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 I've been thinking about shooting Production with my Mod 10. That way you dont have major/minor to further handicap yourself....just 5 extra rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot what makes you happy. You won't be alone for long. Someone else will give it a try if they see "that guy" enough times shooting all by himself. Good luck!

Round_Gun_Shooter Posted May 22, 2005 Author Share Posted May 22, 2005 I've been thinking about shooting Production with my Mod 10. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As for being the only revolver guy...who cares? Shoot what makes you happy. Good luck! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is where I am looking. I was thinking production with my 66 and speed loaders or with my 4" 625. I will not stop shooting revolver just because I am the only one. I am used to that. I guess I just need to know if I can shoot production with a revolver?? As for classifiers, I really don't care about them either. I am a C club level shooter. I shoot to have a good time and rarely shoot anything other than club matches. It is all about the social aspect and enjoying what I do. Thanks for the replies, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 My quick 2 cents..... I started shooting because it was fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still shoot because it is fun !!!!!!!!!!!! I pick my poison (revolver) because all my life I have always been the one that did things "different" What about being the only one ????? This is a very common theme amongst revolver shooters....... It always boils back down to this for me........ I am shooting for myself, the fun, the social aspect (seeing all my good friends I have met doing this) The gaining more competence with the gun. Sam And, I usually shoot revolver division but have strayed into L-10 with the 6 gun occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry V Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 I suppose competing in L-10 & Prod. with a revolver would be a good excuse to get a S&W 627 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowsure Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Hop I pick my poison (revolver) because all my life I have always been the one that did things "different" Very different... Hop just pickin on ya I dont think shooting a revo in USPSA is going to be what it once was...I like to shoot revo just because I like to. The divisions dont really matter. Pick one and shoot have fun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltermitty Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I say shoot your revolver in revolver division. Besides the fun you'll have, you'll lend an element of diversity to the match while inspiring shooters young and old with your fearless individualism. Or at least provide comic relief which always makes for a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robomanusa Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Shoot in Revolver Division, its like Carden said, if others watch match results from other clubs they might decide to come join ya. Besides I like hearing the rash of jokes and shit that comes from the other guys, its all in fun. If revo is what you want to shoot, then shoot it and have fun, and dont forget to joke back with the others. I took on a rash of shit this past match, I was the only one shooting revo, had 2 stages that were 30 and 32 rounds. The jokes didnt stop all day, it made for a fun match and when looking at combined results of the finished match for each stage I WASN'T in last place....hehehe Dont ever think because you only have 6 rounds in your gun, your at anykind of disadvatage.

Mover480 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I shoot my 8-shot revolver in Open Division against the big sticks. It's a lot more fun than doing standing reloads with a 6 shot gun..... and besides, it's a hoot to beat the high-caps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks, but 4 hours of driving for three 18 round IDPA stages is really not worth the trip when I can do the same drive to Harvard or Manville RI for five stages from anywhere from 20 to 30 rounds each. See you in New Bedford. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRT Driver Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Shooting a K-frame with minor full wadcutters sure was fun. My doctor took me off the pain medication and told me to stop punishing myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just need to know if I can shoot production with a revolver?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The only problem with shooting Production with a revolver is the positioning restrictions of that division. EVERYTHING has to be mounted behind the hipbone. That means reaching around behind your back to get to the 4, 5, 6 clips or speedloaders, rather than having them spread out across your "front porch". L10 doesn't have that restriction, but you also can't load 38Spl or .357 to Major and shoot them in L10. (minimum caliber for major is 40).

Mooney Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I ususally catch a good natured ribbing from my usual band of cohorts...but I always point out that I get at least twice the range time for the same money.... Just started shooting revo with a 5" mdl 625, but have been having a great time- FUN is what it's about for me. Who cares if I am not #1- I just try (and have been successful so far) not to finish DFL in the match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturmruger Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Hell shoot whatever division you want. I shot on Dan Carden's squad at the IA Section match. Dan shot the El Prez faster then I did, and I am shooting a tricked out XD!!! I guess I won't be giving the revolver guys any more crap after that stage.
