I anticipate squads will either have to help, as normal, or incur delays. If stages are "more elaborate" than normal, it could further exacerbate the re-setting issue. lol, on the very rare occasions where I have actually seen 7-10 people resetting, most of them are standing by a single target, waiting for the RO to get there so they can paste one thing and go sit down. 3 people is MORE than enough to easily reset a stage. I would guess most stages could easily be handled by 2 people, a-la the norwegian reset system described by ben stoeger, where each shooter resets for 2 shooters after his own run, and then gets to goof off the rest of the time. your other point about the timing is excellent tho. I know I would rather reset after shooting the morning rather than the other way around. Dunno if it will be a big deal for people that are healthy and keep themselves in shape tho.

CHA-LEE Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 The shooter resetting situation sounds like an excellent opportunity for someone to rent out their stage resetting services for a nominal fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This idea sounds cool, and I agree, 2-3 people would be fine if we adhere to the IPSC stage design ratio of 3 short, 2 medium, and 1 long. USPSA is already biased towards long courses (using the IPSC definition) and these stages will be "elaborate" & "complex." I'm still looking forward to the match, and hope He/it is successful.

Still, I think if you add a 3rd, and if you add some bored people like me trying to get one more look at where to stop coming into that last position, and taping a few targets on the way back, I bet it will be just fine.

rowdyb Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 1.las vegas is a much much larger airport and easier to find direct flights and at a lower cost. 2. if you're flying you'll probably have to rent a car anyways, so you're not saving any rental car money flying to st george direct 3. it is only like an hour and 40 minutes to drive between the two 4. if you've never been to that part of the country it gives you a chance to see some of it.

CHA-LEE Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I am going to shoot the staff/early schedule then serve as a CRO on one of the stages. It will be cool to get a chance to see the majority of the shooters tackle the stage I will be assigned to. If you are a certified RO/CRO and have never worked a major match this would be a good opportunity for you to experience how a well run major match gets it all done.

rowdyb Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 'cause they contract out their own national championships? until uspsa owns a range this is what you gotta do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHA-LEE Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Or its the other way around where USPSA contracts out the match then can't resist interjecting their ideas or requirements after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USPSA needs a central location, not in the obscure northwest, that's big enough to hold these types of matches. Only if there were a range in that area....
