teros135 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 No. It's in the rule book. Clear as daylight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 No. From D4 — Handguns with external hammers must be fully decocked at the start signal , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3gunDQ Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Yes! You can start that way!!! But then you earn an open bump! Welcome to the big leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you tried to slide a brag in your post there, but it wasn't in context. It seems you shot in Revolver, but you weren't lactually bumped to Open, so what's the point? You did okay, finished 5th in a small match with 3 stages and 15 entries. So you were above a B Open shooter, but he apparently had problems on one stage. Happens to all of us. Keep practicing, and maybe you'll meet your goal of making GM by the end of 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a guy that shoots a CO gun in open because he wants to appendix carry. VSchneider used to shoot open with a taurus 8 shot revolver. I'm not trying to brag, I'm saying it's the indian not the arrow. I shot 75% of an A class GM. I feel pretty good, but the goal is to beat him, and that hasn't happened yet.

He's referencing this: http://forums.brianenos.com/topic/257240-chriss-world-shoot-blog/?tab=comments#comment-2868024 Frankly, the really good shooters in USPSA are actually pretty modest about their accomplishments. The GM in question got his card legitimately, has been in the Top 20 a number of times, and has paid his dues. Seems like a decent guy, too. He deserves to be treated better, whatever level he's shooting these days. BTW, this GM was in the top 8% of 230 at Iron Sights Nats last year and grouped with the other GMs. If he still shoots at that level (say, 80% of #1), a 74% performance in the recent local match against him was actually about 59%. Not bad, but lots of work to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I thought this thread was about starting cocked and locked in Production...not about bragging rights. Let's get back on target...even though the bullseye has benn shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to say he's a bad shooter, just watch the dude move. I'm just referencing his 80% is all. How do you illegitimately get a GM card?

Sarge Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 1 hour ago, swordfish said: How do you illegitimately get a GM card? (I'm in the market) By setting up a handful of classifiers that you shoot really well and just keep shooting them until you reach the scores you want. Then get a CRO with no moral compass who also does stats to incorporate those classifiers into a match and you will be a paper GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
