HI5-O Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Well, here in paradise (aka hellhole) we have no choice but to shoot Ltd-10 or "Open-10" and I don't want to "drag" anyone down this hole . It is, what it is and every chance I get, I like to shoot in (real) Open (170mm). Use to be just Open or Limited in the days when I started. Why not just go back to two: Open (170mm & Rev) and Limited (140mm & 10 & SS & Prod & Rev) and recognize the different "classes" Mele Kalikimaka, barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveZ Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Why not just go back to two: Open (170mm & Rev) and Limited (140mm & 10 & SS & Prod & Rev) and recognize the different "classes" So suppose today you are a A-Class revolver shooter.....after they combine all the present divisions into two divisions(Lim/Open).....what chance of winning your class do you have against an A-Class Limited shooter?

Nolan Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 It's interesting that SASS has a boat load of different divisions and seems to be doing very well in the number of competitors they draw to matches. I don't shoot SASS, but I think they've even got a Left Eye dominate, Right Handed, Gunfighter, Blackpowder, homecast lead bullet, beeswax lube, Wednesday night TV Western division! The NHRA has literally hundreds of classes/divisions and they seem to be doing pretty well in the number of competitors. If you car/motorcycle meets a minimum set of safety rules for the speed you'll run, you can race. I think USPSA is headed in the right direction with the Single Stack division. Leave L10 alone because not everybody wants to run right out and plunk down $1,000 bucks for a new Single Stack. I enjoy shooting L10 once in a while because it makes you look at the stages a little differently. Giving people more choices is always a good idea. Taking choices away sucks!

Sam Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Nolan, you make an excellent observation! Even though I just posted this: In my opinion, we do have too many divisions.-SamYour logic is sinking in to my mind........ Whatever direction we go with this sport, appealing to new shooters must remain a high priority. I was thinking strictly as a competitor when I made my post. I don't shoot SASS, but I think they've even got a Left Eye dominate, Right Handed, Gunfighter, Blackpowder, homecast lead bullet, beeswax lube, Wednesday night TV Western division! Say, maybe we could come up with a Photo Journalists Attire Division??? Nah, I think somebody is already doing that. Seriously, you do make a very good point. I'm going to reconsider my opinion.
