It does, but apart from seasonality you can see that CO was below Open at the beginning of the year and now is above Open. Any one month can still be noise, but the graph in the first message shows two years and the trend there is quite pronounced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A high level manager can determine a trend from one data point, but a lowly engineer requires quite a few. You are right, the page 1 graph is more interesting, will be interesting to see where things eventually settle out at. On a selfish note - I wish CO would either totally wipe out open or else they would establish safe maximum noise levels to get rid of the insanely loud guns. Not bitching about normal open guns but the few that make your teeth rattle and your ears hurt behind big fat 32 DB muffs. With ear stuff, if it hurts you are doing harm.

BritinUSA Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I think Open will be gone in a few years, the high price (especially compared to CO), and continual breakages that seem to plague Major9 will do it in. I agree about the noise, it’s painful with some guns, though not as bad as the old 9x25... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcc7x7 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 What continual breakages, Figure that is sarcasm! Yeah some slides break and F1 race cars blow engines, such is life when you're running this kind of stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the results vary considerably by region, in Colorado most matches are dominated by Limited and Production with CO gaining rapidly.

Revo is for them.... Just make sure you mention often how 'challenging' each stage is for Revo shooters. Does it mean that we get BORED with a Division?

If you can't win a Production match to save your life, just stick a dot on your gun, throw in some 140mm mages, and shoot CO. Sure, you ain't gonna win CO either, but at least you'll feel better about yourself when you're having your wicked way with the lo-cap guys in the combined overall. this is the same psychological phenomenon that leads to beating up kids that ride the short bus because your parents are abusive.... just sayin'.

tha1000 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 fast forward 20 years, and the sport will have come full circle (plus a little), two divisions. Open and limited. Except with all minor scoring. Or we will all be shooting airsoft or some kind of SIRT gun competition because our government overlords continue to kill gun rights.

zhunter Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hmm, I remember when I took heat with a VERY small number of other guys for getting Production Optics (now called Carry Optics) started. Glad you are all enjoying it. I just stopped by to check on the latest optics being used and stumbled upon this thread, yeah I read the whole thing I have relocated and am not really shooting matches these days, but getting my “carry” optics gun up to speed. I am about to put my two Shadow’s and extra slide up for sale as I am just gonna shoot plastic and goof around a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
