IPSC Nationals Question

[gargoil66]

So, how can I follow the IPSC Nationals in Florida so I can see how MWP is doing?

 

Is there any sort of formal coverage of this?

I did a quick search and couldn't find anything. The club ExtremeGM has a facebook page but I can't see much information on the match.

I could be persuaded to if people found that interesting? 
 

Rich and several other guys are shooting the match in 1 day on Friday. Should be a good race- even if we haven’t touched our guns since uspsa nationals…

Guys:

 

Would be short videos but if your computer can slow them down, you ought to be able to see what he is doing. 

 

To me, it is always interesting watching a top level competitor in his sport so I sure would like to see not only MWP but others in his squad go through a couple of stages or events.

I would like to see them, too. I've never seen any top revo guys shooting other than JM.

[Dr. Phil]

I would be very interested in seeing them as well! Thank you.

[MWP]

Alright. I’ll make a plan with Rich and we will put something together.

I also would really enjoy seeing you guys shoot if you are able to post some of the stages. I have seen some the European shooters posting on the IPSC Revolver Facebook page from their matches. It seems a lot of the stages there are 6 round neutral in the European IPSC matches. If this is the case with this match,  I would be interested also to hear what you think of possibly shooting 6 shot major.

IPSC Rules stipulate a high percentage of Short stages: max 12 hits to score. Even there, you might sometimes have to do a standing reload with a 6-shooter. On Medium (max 24 hits) and Long (max 32 hits) stages, you are definitely doing more reloads and quite likely need to do some of them standing.

Sanford, Florida at the Extreme-GM range, there's a link to their facebook page above.

Thanks, I'm confused. Is US IPSC different from USPSA?

[BritinUSA]

Yes, different rule-book. The rest of the world shoots IPSC.

I still wouldn't have done it, but it would have been a lot more feasible here than at almost any USPSA match I've been to.

 

I have a lot of moon clips to disassemble before my flight home with two rounds left in them.

Thanks I thought that might be the case. A few of the guys in the matches I watched, I think one was in Poland, did appear to be using six shots.

It does happen that I go and shoot a match with my six-gun: just for fun and not expecting to beat anybody.

 

Last time, I remember one of the good Production (or Production Optics?) shooters commenting that I broke down a stage in an interesting way to make it, more or less, work with six rounds in the cylinder.

Wish I saw this earlier.  I have some footage I can post, it rained so much my camera stopped working after half the match.  I'll round it up tomorrow. 

[Fishbreath]

I haven't gone over it in detail yet, but I think I have 1st and 3rd-person footage of everything, which will eventually make it online.

Now you have #2! 

 

To be clear, my 1st-person and 3rd-person footage is of #4 #5 (I might not like the result of Vincent pulling out a stage win on 7 to pip me to the line by three match points, but I can't deny it was clutch!).

 

It's always nice seeing footage from the folks to whom I'm still giving up a bit of time, though! Helps to direct practice.
