dirtypool40 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Figured it's time, we ought to have a thread to get updates and chat about this years NATS; Who's shooting how, surprise entrants or no shows, neat stages, side stories.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I hear that there will be some dual-sighted Open guns. A dime worth of Velco, a ten-dollar Photon-II (with the on/off slide switch), and presto...DUAL "sighting devices." Since both the dot and the Photon are considered "sighting devices", they can be started on or off at the shooter's convenience (as long as they are both physically on the gun for the entire match) http://www.dreadnaught-industries.com/imag..._flashlight.jpg Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess that's what Troy was referencing at the shooter's meeting this afternoon. -Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJPoLo Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 This our first Nationals and we're pretty excited! The shooter's packets contained t-shirts, pins and name tags along with the usual assortment of sponsor-supplied trinkets. The range is pretty and it's not even hot compared to this year's Area 4 match! Here was our favorite thing so far: Graffitti under the I-72 overpass! -Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though Erik Warren didn't go to the Nationals this year? Nolan Skilled, but otherwise unremarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakal Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 What did Troy say about the flashlight mounted on gun thing? I spent an hour and a half in line at Golf Cart Land (sigh)... Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 What Troy said basically amounted to... you must use the flashlight provided on the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Q. How do you know there's a Nationals going on ? A. Fom the surrounding rooms in the hotel you can hear the sounds of slides being racked and magazines hitting the floor. I hope these guys checked the chambers first, these walls look a tad on the thin side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 That is amusing...so Troy decided that the IPSC rules don't apply to USPSA? Andthis affter he admitted that flashlights are sighting devices (in accordance with published IPSC rules clarifications) on the IPSC Global Village last month Yeah, good stuff...

Flexmoney Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 ...so Troy decided that the IPSC rules don't apply to USPSA? Nope...Troy didn't decide anything. We (USPSA) use the USPSA version of the rule book...our green book...not the (slightly different) IPSC rule book. There has been some recent clarity involed with the IPSC interpretations of rules that they post on the IPSC website. Those are official for IPSC only. For USPSA, we have our book, and we have our USPSA interpretations...which are posted on the USPSA website. The USPSA interpretations get run past the USPSA BOD and get posted under NROI Rulings (click here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 So what are the predictions for Limited 10? Who will win? Odds-on-favorites? Dark horses? Unknown quantities (IPSC shooters)??? Let's hear your picks & why. D.C. Johnson PS - I just got back from the Production, revolver & ltd Nationals last night & had a great time; thanks goes out to USPSA and especially all the volunteer CRO, RO & admin staff that made it possible; our group from Area 8 had a ton of fun & I will definitely be back next year - maybe even switching from Limited to Production.

ChuckS Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 How can you pick a "odds-on favorite" from this posse? Squad 14 Ltd 10 Super Squad No Slots Available ---------------------- Ron Avery - L10 Emanuel Bragg - L10 Jerry Brown - L10 Larry Brown - L10 Michael Burrell - L10 Taran Butler - L10 Kert Gaskill - L10 Paul Hendrix - L10 Doug Koenig - L10 Rob Leatham - L10 Blake Miguez - L10 Matthew Mink - L10 Mike Seeklander - L10 Dave Sevigny - L10 Roger Sherman - L10 Phil Strader - L10 Travis Tomasie - L10 Michael Voigt - L10 Damn...

XRe Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Heh. I will take the safe road and say TGO, in Practical Valley, w/ the SS .45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 If you look at the (mostly meaningless) Top 20 list in L-10, the Top 5 includes Super Squad members: Rob Phil and Taran I would think that Rob and Phil have the best chance based on their finishes in the past (Rob & Phil were 1&2 year before last) and on the fact that they just shot the COF in Limited (though with different targets). My money is on (big surprise) Phil. D. www.shootersparadise.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seery Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 My prediction is that Sevigny will take it by 2-3% over TGO. I'm not a gambling man but that's where my $$ is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 "I'll predict that the L10 winner this year isn't shooting a 1911 based gun." Matt Mink is on the squad & he is now on Team CZ-USA; could the .40 cal CZ come out on top? Have to wait & see. Considering the talent on that squad, nothing would surprise me.

howie1947 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Just got back home I only live about 95 miles away and HOT is not the word for it match was running real smooth but I would think the heat has to have a big affect on the ones shooting.
