LChico Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I am down to 9 shooters from Brazil - there was a mass exodus following the recent economic downturn. Also, many of my shooters from Thailand withdrew following the recent turmoil in that country. Unfortunately, with the loss of so many competitors from Brazil, it does not look I will have enough in Modified to recognize the division. We will have a Standard Manual team from the USA, Brazil, Argentina & possibly Canada. We will have Open Teams from the USA & Brazil & a Standard Team from the USA. We will have a Ladies USA Standard Team. I am willing to track "unofficial" teams: from non-Pan Am countries - or USA shooters who form a team (like the Texas Irregulars - they are often quite irregular in Texas or Team Firebird, Team X-Rail, . . .)

Last time I spoke to Kurt the teams are being finalised, but your standard semi shooters are there strong I understand Edited June 18, 2010 by mike.45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Jesse, in the UK before IPSC classes for shotgun came in we all shot modified as long guns with long mags were the in thing, but since classes came about standard manual / semi and Open seems to be where the real competition is, a lot of European countries dont shoot Modified but some do and do really well at it. I think you need to look at how many are entering Modified class and decide if it is a class that will test your ability against those who you want to test your ability against ! If that makes sense ! It makes absolutely no sense because of my utter lack of ability. I will sign up for Standard or whatever yous guys that shoot IPSC put a Benelli M2 with 9 at the start into. Thanks for all of the help deciding everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Beverley Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) I was asking about modified division in regards to what is it really about? What mods to the European shooters or whomever it is that will be shooting the division do to their guns that requires them to shoot Modified rather than Open or Standard? Is their something Im missing or like my own gun is the use of the longer tube just compensating for other less than long things in my life. Jesse In a nutshell the differences for Modified versus Standard are: Ported barrels are allowed. Compensators are allowed. Levers and/or other devices can be fitted to elevators (floor plates) to facilitate easier loading. These can be external to the frame but some size restrictions apply. In Standard Division the only permitted devices are for Remington 1100/1187 as a replacement for the carrier release button, e.g. the Eezi-loader. Capacity. Subject to an overall length restriction the gun can be loaded to capacity, typically 14/15 rounds. This suits those competitors who don't want to load quite as much. From memory from the 2006 Europeans Standard Division required 56% of the match rounds to be loaded on the clock. For Modified this figure dropped to around 34%. I hope this helps.

Neil Beverley Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I'm shooting Modified. Just got my barrel ported. What a waste of money. If you cover the ports to render them ineffective you can change to Standard Division. This may help as this match is struggling for numbers in Modified Division and gives you the option to transfer. A metal wrap or strong tape may be accepted. It's effectively been done before. It will be best to check with the RM, Myro Lopez, just to confirm any special requirements from him.

FB3GDQ Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Linda would it be possible to have a team Rock Castle?

Charles Bond Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Linda is sending out confirmations with schedules and all that good stuff and mine just arrived overnight. As they say in the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes, "you have to enter to win" so get those entries in the mail shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need at least one more shooter in the same division. The unofficial teams must have at least 3 (but up to 4) members. Only the top 3 scores count on a team: having four competitors gives you a chance to drop the lowest score. All team members must be shooting in the same division. I have already had interest from Germany and Italy about "unofficial teams."

bigbrowndog Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 if you get squaded with lazier people than you then you have to do all the work, or if people get squaded with you then they have to do all the work Jess, i think you can make a request to Linda, and provided its not too late or unreasonable then it probably can happen.

LChico Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) Keep in mind that a BIG reason to sign up for this match is you do not have to set targets! In no way do I want to minimize the contribution that the 4H Clubs of Kentucky will provide to the match, but I am hoping the BIG reason to come shoot this match will be the outstanding shotgun challenge and the high level of competition. I am including a comment that Neil Beverly from England posted on the IPSC Global Village forum on April 30th: Actually I just finished [approving] the final stage (of 30) only a few minutes ago. This is not a match for the faint hearted. Grown men will cry. I can see it sapping energy from one and all. In truth, if it ends up on the ground as well as it looks it might, then it will be one hell of a match. I can't wait! For those who are unaware, Neil is the IPSC Shotgun Rules Committee Chairman & the IPSC Shotgun Course Review Chairman. In that role, he has had a hand in the approval of the courses of fire for all the Level 3 and Level 4 shotgun matches held world wide. As part of my reply, I wrote "I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the compliments from Neil Beverley, who has certainly seen a lot of shotgun stages in his time with IPSC."

whiskey1 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 The GA crowd (Team Noveske, myself, Joe and Katie Harris) are looking at putting on a Pan-Am warm-up match on Saturday the 24th of July. Probably at Creekside Firing range in Bartow county, Georgia. Six or eight stages, one day. Small entry fee, no prizes. Any interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springy Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Is Federal Flight Control Buck Shot going to be allowed? I know Neil Beverly wants to ban it in IPSC Europe. KurtM I'm a little confused: why would one brand of buck shot not be allowed? And I've seen a few references to chrono? How is that going to work? When I load up for a match I bring 4 or 5 different loads of ammo, in shot, buck, and slugs. Is this match going to be some kind of technical nightmare or is it going to be about shooting targets and getting hits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
