RIIID Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 In the current Front Sight it has the official team selection. A few top shooters names are oddly missing like Dave S. and Rob L.. I guess their not going or they just weren't good enough. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Meek Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 The World Shoot teams were selected via the IPSC Qualifier matches held this last year. However, whoever wins the Division at the Nationals can bump the 4th team member, provided the Nats Division Winner is already entered in the World Shoot. (If I remember the selection process correctly) Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 They should have qualified based on Nationals results, but not sure if they did the required IPSC qualifiers though. I suspect a lot of people are having doubts concerning the location of 2008 World Shoot. I know I wouldn't go there if they paid me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritinUSA Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 One other thing. World Shoot Champions get an invite to the next World Shoot regardless of any selection process. So as Standard Champion, Rob L. would automatically get a slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Dave S isn't going. I'd be shocked if he ever shot another international match actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Eh, it's really not something I should talk about on a public forum. Sorry guys. Well-handled, I believe. I don't have a clue as to WHY Jake believes that, and I don't think any of us should speculate or bother Jake in public (probably not in private either). Rather than a public discussion of the last world shoot which Dave S. attended, those who really really want to go over some of the unfortunate events from that match (events which might shed light on Jake's prediction - again, just a guess on my part) should kindly use the search function using the terms: "Sevigny" and "Tyc." Whatever you find, PLEASE do not bring it up here on be.com. Besides, its off topic. And it will only result in this thread getting closed. Now, back to the selection for the NEXT world shoot! Anyone want to wager a guess on who wins Open? How about Standard and Production? Top wheelgunner? (as if there is any doubt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Seemed like Dave had a good time in El Salvador last year, but I was so wacked, I could have easily missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 (edited) Seemed like Dave had a good time in El Salvador last year, but I was so wacked, I could have easily missed something. Hmmm - "wacked," eh? So - what it the Salvadoran version of "Montezuma's Revenge" or maybe self-inflicted and alcohol-induced?

BritinUSA Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Regarding Dave S.; This is all just idle speculation and I don't think it should be a subject here. The teams have been announced, why don't we focus on that instead. Who's got a chance of winning, who are the people to beat from the other countries... All that kind of stuff that makes this forum so interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket35 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Well for Open- my money is on Chris Tilley or Max Michel if they are attending- havn't read my front sight yet. Revolver is pretty much sewn up. Production I would go with Angus. Then Standard....boy.... If TGO doesn't go- it is a crap shoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Open - Eric Standard - Leatham or TT Production - Prolly Tyc Revo - Jerry Modified - who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boo radley Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Just walked in, and the latest Front Sight is in my hands.... Open: Chris, Max, KC, BJ Std: Travis, Taran, Manny, Shannon Prod: Robert Vogel, Mink, Angus, Olhasso Ladies: Athena, Kay, Lisa Munson, Eva Beecroft Junior: Shane Cooley, Forrest McCord, James McGinty, Mark Matthews HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Open - EricStandard - Leatham or TT Production - Prolly Tyc Revo - Jerry Modified - who knows Man, I think this time will be different. Open: either Eric or Chris. I think it will be very close. Standard: TT or Rob if he decides to go. Revo: Ricardo Lopez (yes, I think Jerry will not win). Production: I doubt it will be Tyc and I think a dark horse will take the medal. There are so many new PD shooters (some actually beat Tyc this year or last year in Level III matches). Modified: will not exist anymore As for Dave S's reasons not to go, well, I totally understand him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
