Yes, its easier in a lot, if not most cases to place shots on target during a USPSA match with a rifle than it is a pistol. That does not equate to competing with a rifle being easier. Its all relative to the competition, in that division, on that day. Would I as a A class PCC shooter have an easier time competing against Max Leograndis(Nats champ) than any A class Open shooter would have against Max Michel or Eric G? All of the talk of its boring/lame/easier is so short sighted it makes my head spin.

HCH Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Is there this much complaining about PCC in Steel Challenge? I don’t remember ever hearing about how rimfire or PCC was so unfair to the rest of the Steel Challenge competitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they realize its just another division and/or worrying about your own shooting is more important than what others are doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixsixnine Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 3 hours ago, MHicks said: I think pcc rifles are great and a lot of fun to shoot. I have no desire to shoot one in a regular USPSA match. I would be much more interested in shooting one in pcc only matches. I also believe that both handgun only and ppc only seperate matches would be better then combined with somewhat different challenges in each. There are a lot of shooters who shoot pcc that would already be shooting the match in years past with a handgun, but now we're getting shooters who will likely never shoot a handgun division, because they can shoot a rifle at pistol difficulty level targets better, duh, making for longer matches. I'm just gonna throw this out there, but PCC-only matches are super fun. Last year's AZ PCC Championship had several stages with 100+ yard shots, tiny high value targets, and a few huge penalty no-shoots. I'd shoot that match again in a heartbeat.

I think USPSA PCC only matches would be awesome and frankly preferred by me. With regard to complaining about PCC at Steel Challenge matches, I’ve personally never heard it BUT there’s a sea change going on where the “Main Match” has always been considered to be Open (pistol) and an era is coming where your Main Match Competitors are going start getting thier you-know-what’s handed to them in the overall on a regular basis. Nobody cared when rimfire started doing it (“Those aren’t real guns”) but having it done by non-Open centerfire shooters now... might sting some a bit more...? Folks just need to shoot their own match and only worry about their own division if they want to compare themselves to others. Plus the whole “Main Match” concept is due for retirement. A few years ago the West Coast Steel Championship was won by a kid shooting a production gun, surprise surprise. That should have been a wake up call for SCSA but I still keep seeing Main Match in results reporting. Just my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Scott Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I would absolutely love to shoot some PCC only matches with USPSA rules. The reality is, at the moment, pretty much nation wide, the best game in town for someone who wants to run and gun with a rifle is at "normal" USPSA matches. That may change in the future, but for now us degenerate PCC shooters will have to continue to stink up "normal" USPSA matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never choose to shoot rifle at a pistol match, but it can be fun to shoot rifle at a rifle match. Locally in the boise area, we have a 1911-only match every year, which has some pretty entertaining stages. 100-yards of running, shooting while swinging from a parachute harness, ww1 style trench stage, shooting from cars and from under cars, etc...... Last year they ran the same stages for pcc-only the following day, and it was super fun. this year the same thing is happening. Hawktech 1911 match first weekend in may.

Put on a rifle match. I dared the 1911 match organizer to hold a pcc match on the same stages the next day, and told him if he did, I would buy a pcc, shoot both matches, and help tear down. I still make fun of pcc-shooters, but now I almost am one, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenault Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Love the pcc guys. On the whole it's made the average times at my local matches faster which has really pushed me too. A rising tide and all that The number of guys now shooting on the move has me shooting a lot faster, or more efficient on the move. It is what you make it I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty_J Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Who looks at high overall? Is an open shooter smoking a production shooter not the same thing as a PCC shooter beating a production shooter? It's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Yeah, I refrain from PCC because I don't want my Pistol classification artificially inflated. Pistol is more important to me. Right now I'm a very high C and desperately want to bump to B.... So I swapped Divisions from Ltd to SS. Maybe one day when the dust settles maybe Ill try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never choose to shoot a rifle at a pistol match. Doesn't bother me if others do tho. I usually squad with several pcc shooters because their extended make ready and ULSC routines, and frequent stoppages mean most of the match is torn down before we finish our last stage, so there's way less work to do.
