RaylanGivens Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 https://uspsa.org/viewer//18-09.pdf Shot classifier 18-09 I Miss That Kind of Clarity yesterday in PCC... Fun stage... I shot 3 targets from the back fault line, then ran up while reloading and shot the remaining 3 from the front fault line... Did the reverse for the second string... I underestimated how difficult it would be to run backwards and reload a rifle. Scored a low 'B' percentage... If I had it to do over again... I would shoot the left and right targets on both sides and shoot the remaining target up front on the move... Then reload and be pretty close to the other fault line by then... for the final 3 targets. I didn't do it this way yesterday because I thought the almost 180 degree transitions would be slower than just shooting all three in progression and running up.

rowdyb Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Shows what I know but I had no idea that stage turned into a classifier. Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balakay Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I shot it the same way at the same match! Mag didn't drop free on the second reload, 73% Open. I thought that this was a really interesting classifier and a better test of skills than the typical "6 Reload 6" variant. But, why is it VIRGINIA count? That was strange to me.

rowdyb Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Only having shot it at Nats, I am 78% in L-10. And a "F" doesn't count 86% in Production. And a F again in CO at 80%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fun classifier... I need to practice reloading on the move in PCC... and adding another mag pouch to my PCC belt. Most classifiers without steel are Virginia count... Guess they don't want you to hose them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shot it last month at a local match but not as a classifier (maybe not setup 100% to the WSB). I've practiced a moving forward reload with a PCC but reloading and backing up? Never tried it. I ran 1st string engaging three targets and then reloaded as I moved forward. On the second string I shot the right target and two middle targets. Then a reload, engaged the far left target and moved back. Probably not the best way to do it. Second string was just under 3 seconds slower than the 1st.

2MoreChains Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Shot this classifier last weekend. Personally I like this kind of classifier more than the typical stand-and-shoot classifiers. Biggest challenge for me was remembering which of the two middle targets to engage from either position. I debated on how to shoot it. Shoot all three from up range then move, or go left-right and shoot one of the middle ones on the move. Ended up on String 1 shooting left then right and engaged one of the middle targets on the move, reload then left-middle-right. On String 2, went left-middle-right, reload while retreating, then right-middle-left (with a slight pause on the middle array as my brain caught up and confirmed that I was shooting at the correct target...). To keep it simple on the middle array I decided to always shoot the left one first and the right one after the reload. On the squad I was shooting on, one poor guy forgot the reload on String 1, another confused soul put 6 hits on the left middle and 2 on the right middle. Bit of a brain teaser...

Bwillis Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Pcc- I shot first string 6.56, upper right target, back middle right target, Upper left target, running reload back middle left target, left target right target. Second string was reverse 7.16 total of 13.72 A 17 C 5 D 2 73.03 percent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, on my squad we also had two shooters with 6 shots on one middle target and 2 shots on the other. trickier than is seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-wal Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Just shot this one last night. Scored a mid B percentage. We had at least three people in the squad put 6 shots on one of the middle targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityofthesouth Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I shot this last month in PCC at 84%. It is a tricky one and this was my first all classifier match, but super fun for a classifier I thought. I ultimately shot it correctly but did have a brain fade remembering which middle target I had already shot on string 1 even though I thought I had burned it in. Also, I got real carried away on the rearward movement on string 2 and came clear out of the shooting area, had to correct and finish shooting. I think those two things cost me enough time to keep me out of Master territory. On the second string I shot 3 targets, reload 4th target, then move. It would be interesting to try it different ways for sure but I figured that my rearward reload wouldn't be as solid as standing, and assuming I could make up for it with wicked speed is what made me totally miss my mark and step out of the shooting area. I ultimately made Master that day but this stage was fun enough and interesting enough that it's one I would have liked another shot at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanb Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 It looks like the best way to shoot this imo is movingforward string left middle rear right reload on the move Left front right middle right front backwards moving leftnfront both middle reload right front back right back left. Im hoping to get this set up and practice it to see just what works best. I hate the idea of a standing reload but I hatereloading moving backwards more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 This was my best stage, by far, at Nationals. I was third. I shot it left, right, middle, while moving forward the whole time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MgtMike Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Just shot this at our last match this past weekend. I shoot limited major (unclassified) and this was my 2nd classifier since moving to Limited. Wasn’t sure how to attack this classifier but it worked out ok. I had A:17 C:5 D:1 M:1 and shot a B percentage. That mike kept me from an A run.

Bifurcate Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) Two questions... 1. Anyone have PCC video of this? I'll figure out if it's better for me to reload before moving on string2 or after running back, but a video might save me some testing. 2. How much distance can you move forward from string1 start while still seeing the left and right targets? @waktasz video appears to be only a couple feet, so I'm not sure it's worth moving before shooting both of those.

Eric802 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) I shot this one yesterday at my second-ever USPSA match. 21.52 seconds, 13A/9C/2D, 94 points. 4.368 HF, good for 44.8%. (Production, 92fs) At the first match, the classifier was Can You Count; the score for that one won't go to USPSA as I wasn't a member yet, but I seem to be trending toward a C classification to start.

If you joined within 30 days of shooting that classifier it should count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding...I did, so is that the kind of thing that happens automatically or do I need to ask the MD from the first match to submit it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBOpen Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Should be automatic. HQ looks for matching name with new member number. Doesn't hurt to follow up with your MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
