Big_Steve Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I have noticed two types of USPSA #'s. Mine is A59030. It has a single letter A in front. Then others are like TY_____. Am I retarded, or does this mean something? Thanks, Sorry for the weird question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2fast Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Not a dumb question, it does actually mean something and I didn't know this when I started: 'A' - Annual Member 'TY' - Three Year Member 'L' - Life Member They may be others but I'm not really awake yet and can't remember......

GENE S Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) You cal also tell how long a person has been a member by the number, like mine A-793, been around almost as long as black powder. Gene Edited July 10, 2007 by GENE S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDRODA396 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 If you "upgrade" from an annual "A" to a three year "TY" does your number stay the same...TY to L? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianH Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 No...you get a new number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ima45dv8 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Yeah, mine stayed the same when I went from annual to 5-year, too. It changed when I went to Life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyK Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 What happens to the numbers when someone does not renew their membership? Can you get an old number back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Steve Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 WOW, now I know a lot more about membership numbers, thanks for all the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoShooter Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 What happens to the numbers when someone does not renew their membership? Can you get an old number back? I got my origional USPSA # in 1992 I did not shoot USPSA for over 12 years and renewed and kept my old # TY18956 But it is imbarasing when I go to a shoot and shoot so slow.

shred Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 A, TY, & FY carry over one to the other. Anything to L does not (except for the goofy CALs, and if you have to ask, you aren't one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I was sort of disapointed I lost my old number. I had a fairly low number by today's standards, and had it memorized. I went from a16577 to l2902. I would have been perfectly happy with it l16577. Blah, oh well. Thats one bill I don't ever have to pay again is how I look at it.

Gene No, Gene. You simply started when there was one division and almost every gun was a single stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Even when I started there was only single stacks for the most part and it was run what you brung. Though I was not a member then, maybe, I think I shot my first match roughly 88 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Sweeney Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Guess I'll be upgrading to CAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I feel your pain, my annual # was 135, the life is 4 times that. I don't think they had CAL back then though. At least the Life Membership was a good buy for me, so was the NRA Life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerba Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 If you "upgrade" from an annual "A" to a three year "TY" does your number stay the same...TY to L?Thanks in advance! Anual to three year or to five year, your number stays the same. You will get a new number when you upgrade to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Boudrie Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Guess I'll be upgrading to CAL. I checked the database for the count on some of the interesting prefixes. These counts are for ALL members, not just those with current memberships. CA - 56 CL - 138 CAL - 1 B - 33 RD - 4 S - 1 I suggest you call Dave Thomas just to confirm CAL stands for what I think it does (I'm reasonably sure it does, however, I was shocked to find only one CAL number in the database).

shred Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 CAL does indeed mean what you think it does ("Charter Annual Life"). It was created for one certain person, at least that's how I heard the story from some other CL'ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I usta' thimk' 11141 was a pretty darned "Johnny Come Lately" kinda' number to have. Maybe I'll hang at TY until I get a chance to get the same Lifer number as I have now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) Can you actually update your membership and pay your dues online? I couldn't figure out how to do that??? -Cuz. Cancel that. I knew I'd find it right after I posted this message. Edited July 15, 2007 by Cuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
