kmca Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) I noticed on the Richmond Hotshot's (Richmond,CA) web site, that there is a special classifier on the 28th of this month. I haven't joined USPSA yet. Could someone tell me what's going on? Is it okay for anybody to show up? Can I join USPSA there or do I need to join in advance? How many rounds do I need? Any other information would be appreciated. TIA, Keith I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this question.

ChuckS Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Keith, A special classifier match is just a match where the stages will be mostly or all classifier stages. According to USPSA (go to www.uspsa.org and read about classification administration in the "additional content" section (button on the left of the home page)) a new shooters scores are marked "new" or "pending" and will be entered into the database when that person has a valid membership. You can join on line from the webpage or you can call them and ask how to get in quickly. Becoming a member should be a snap. I took a look at Richmond's webpage and it looks like they have some sort of new shooter training. You better talk to the club contacts and find out what's up with that. Not having a classification is not a big deal until you want to compete in a major match where the unclassified shooters may not be let into the prizes. At the club level it just means your score will be compared to the other "U" shooters. Do what I suggested above and read all you can on the website. Welcome to the family! I think you will find an enjoyable time. Later, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elenius Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I'm gonna be there. IIRC, it will be $15 for your first gun and $10 for each additional gun you want to classify with, and you can shoot as many times as you want! I think there will be 5 classifiers. Sargenv on this forum would be able to tell you more. Anyway, should be loads of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardschennberg Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 You can get more information at http://www.uspsa.org You can join online. If you don't get your membership card/number before the match, you can have them put PENDING in the scoring program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iweiny Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Have you shot USPSA before? If not check out these pages. http://www.richmondhotshots.com/intro_to_ipsc.html http://www.tasc-ipsc.org/gs.html If you have shot USPSA before but not with Richmond then you will still need to check out their website for what is required to shoot their matches. If you have shot with us at TASC but not Richmond, PM me and I will help you out. In addition go to USPSA and sign up like the other posts have advised. You will need to be a member before the match I am pretty sure. Hope this helps, Ira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmca Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 Okay, I got two replies about the class. It is on for this Saturday, but I'm not quite sure where it's being held. On the Chabot site it says Cleckner Building and Range 5 and $60. On the TASC website it says range 4 and $25??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
