Distant Thunder Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Somehow I don't think he's implying that the venue provides for a "Thriller" of a competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatJones Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 This will be my first time going so I hope it's a good match. Is there a good reason why it's been at PASA for so long? It seems like there are several large venues to choose from.Nearly any of those other venues would be a better option. The quality of the match at last year's Revo Nats explains why I've been shooting production since last spring.Let PASA have their single stack classic. Move both nationals to somewhere willing to host a USPSA match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Thunder Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I've had yet another medication change, so I'll be under an evaluation period with more tests to follow in four weeks. That means no Single Stack or Revolver Nationals for me this year. Sometimes life just sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan454 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Is stage 9 8 seconds for each string? That's pretty zippy for string 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my first time attending but I thought it was a fun match that challenged an assortment of skills. I will be going back next year if they hold it at PASA. Maybe one of the returning shooters could chime in, I'm interested to see what kind of feedback they have compared to prior years. Here's some video that I took if you want a POV perspective: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecmc Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The stages were absolutely worlds better over the ones in recent years, I'm glad the style of the match changed. The stages were interesting, had some options, and were challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Match ran smooth and on time or even early. Revolver shot 12 instead of 15 stages due to mud, etc. I thought it was a well balanced match. A huge THANK YOU to the staff and everyone that made the match happen. Also THANK YOU to the sponsors that supported this match. Last but not least congrats to all the winners.

hopalong Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Looking at the results. Not a single 6 shooter. Only 80 competitors. Not as many names that you used to always see. Not just at the top either. Maybe the rule change , or maybe the format from the last few years. DEFINITELY DIFFERENT Hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Maybe that's what USPSA wanted ? The old way wasn't very good, and this seems to be better than back then. Where are the numbers from 2013 ? Hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEFINITELY DIFFERENT Hop Sam I know several shooters that had conflicts with other matches, Graduations, etc. I heard some complain about the stages from years past (including me) and even with the match book posted ahead of time they still didn't show. Lots bitched about the previous matches being on mothers day and this year it wasn't and lots of them still didn't show. We all know some shooters would rather bitch than shoot Wife and I are trying to sell our house and are looking for a new one. We are cleaning and packing and putting things in storage. We have been so busy that this match was a HUGE intrusion with everything we have going on. I still didn't want to miss it and showed up to shoot. My head wasn't in the game at all and I shot the worst major I ever shot. BUT I was still there and supporting revolver division. The best part was shooting with friends and seeing some of the people I only see once or twice a year. Got to meet some great people on our squad that I had never met or shot with before. While a lot of the "regulars" weren't there there were a lot of new faces and first timers. Life happens and I understand several had conflicts but new shooters made up for it.
