It changed to 55-65 in the 2008 rulebook. I was a senior for just shy of 15 years---50-65. Not sure why it changed. A 75+ super duper old fart category would work, but you would have to waive the 5 participant minimum at majors. Past 70 participation starts dropping off fast.

Bob Clevenger Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Nah-- we just need a handicap system... like dividing our time by our age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Don't we have enough classes? Why not give "Participation Trophies" to anyone over 70? I remember when it was just bring your gun and you shot against everyone on an even basis. I'm 71 btw so I'm close to Super Senior if it happens but saying " I won my class " because there were so few of us is silly. I'd rather come in last and say I had a good time.

vluc Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 My AD indicated they did adopt Distinguished Senior. From a March 9 email "Distinguished senior is 70 and older and was passed at the board meeting. USPSA will be putting out an announcement. It is scheduled for tomorrow."

perttime Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I'm not too far from becoming IPSC Super Senior. I don't really feel that "senior" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Elliott Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 IPSC Super Senior. For 70+ I think the new catagory should be called "Super Duper POOPER Senior." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perttime Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I'm told the new IPSC Category (70+) is called Grand Senior. The 2023 Rule Book is expected to be published ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
