A List Of The Easiest Classifiers

[Matthew_Mink]

Let's start a list of the easiest classifiers out there. What I mean by that, is which ones are easiest to get a good hf on. I'll start, and then edit this post as we go along, adding the entries. This should get a good discussion going. TIA!

99-04 American Standard

99-05 Mob Job

99-08 Melody Line

99-09 Long Range Standards

99-11 El Presidente

99-15 Dilegentia & Celeritas (I musta really sucked the last time I shot this one...)

99-16 Both Sides Now #2

99-18 You Snooze, You Lose

99-21 Mini-Mart

99-28 Hillbillton Drill

99-32 Indoor Rapid Fire Standards (possibly the easiest?)

99-39 Off Balance Blast

99-40 Partial People Eaters

99-42 Fast N' Furious

99-43 Color Blind

99-45 Easy Street

99-46 Close Quarter Standards

99-49 Speed-E-Standards

99-54 Tuff Enough Standards (Phil has convinced me )

99-56 On The Upper Pad II

99-60 Cut & Run

99-62 Bang and Clang

Keep em comin!

CM99-39 Off Balance Blast -- I wouldn't say that this classifier is easy to shoot...but it seems easy to get a good high score on it! This seems to be one of those classifier where you shoot it....your run doesn't feel that great...yet later when you get the results....they look pretty good!

[ErikW]

Bang and Clang, Fast and Furious, Hillbillton Drill, Mob Job, Melody Line, Easy Street, Close Quarter Standards, Long Range Standards, Merle's Standards (just kidding on that last one!)

I never got along with Mini-Mart and I either rushed through Speed-E-Standards or choked weak hand.

[PhilTerry]

99-54 Tuff Enough Standards

[Ron Ankeny]

It has been my experience that decent shooters tend to do very well on Both Sides Now #2 and Off Balance Blast.

[Liota]

I am somewhat partial to Partial People Eaters. I always seem to do well.

Liota

[JFD]

My vote goes for Bang & Clang.

[shred]

Based on the votes of thousands of shooters, by far the easiest is 99-32. The others aren't even close. It's fixed-time and the HHF isn't even all A's.

Also note that mis-set HHF's vary between Open and Limited (and the derivatives thereof: Lim-10, Prod and Revo)

[PhilTerry]

Re CM 99-54, as you noted back in February in another thread, this is a classifier that doesn't seem to be shot very often but the times are generous and with care percentages well above 80 are quite easy to achieve even for B class shooters.

[shred]

OK, Sedro's had this data for almost a year-- so these may change if they're changing the HHF's (though they haven't taken me up on my offer to help fix 'em)

These are for Open. Limited's easy/hard are somewhat different. Note that these have nothing to do with the actual difficulty of the shooting, it's only what national percentages have been scored on them:

Classifiers with too low HHF's (aka: many many more people than expected got M or better scores on):

99-32

99-54 (not as easy as 32, but much easier than the rest)

Classifiers more people than expected got M or better scores on:

99-04

99-18

99-15

99-43

99-60

Nearly impossible to get M or GM scores on (too high HHF):

99-37

99-53

99-59 (the worst-- no M or G scores on record, ever)

[TriggerT]

I have to agree with shred on this one. I think 99-32 is the easiest I have shot, as long as you can condition yourself to not go to fast, and get good hits. Also like off balance blast, as I am still of good knees, and can move through it pretty quickly.

If you can't shoot well, shoot fast and look good doing it.

[shred]

Here's the score distribution on 99-32:

The blue line is the "Expected" scores (in other words, the percentage of shooters in each classification). The purple bars are the percentages of scores actually shot.

When almost 40% of scores are in the M and GM range, something's broke.

[PhilTerry]

How about adding 99-56 to the list?

[Ron Ankeny]

Hmmm...I know we aren't supposed to divulge HHFs but I am confused. Based on the latest info that I have the HHF for CM99-32 is indeed the same for Open, Limited and L10 with all A hits in the alloted time. What gives???

[THS]

Ron,

Looks like ALL timed fire stages are based solely on percentage of max points available, regardless of division, which makes little to no sense. MAYBE there have been a few perfect scores on Tuff Enough Stds, but I doubt it given the amount of A zone covered on some of the targets.

I wonder what the real top 10 in production on that one are. I'm betting it aint clean either!

Tom

[ErikW]

In a perfect world, the perfect fixed time stage would allow the perfect GM to achieve 100% of the points.

[Matthew_Mink]

I know what you mean, the 2nd time I ever shot Open at a club match with a borrowed Open gun, I shot 99-32 at 91.2%, and I had no clue what I was doing with the gun. That's just wrong.

Felt good though.

[Flexmoney]

btt

[Nik Habicht]

99-49 Speedy Standards. I've always shot this one well. Thanks to a timer malfunction, I got a practice run on it a few months ago. I managed 84 or 86 points in 11.94 on the re-shoot, good enough for 73% --- my first classifier score to break 70.

[froglegs]

99-10 times two shot 7 sec something all a's and a bad reload should be easy but after two mikes and knowing it at the same time and still didn't make em up. Another easy classifier shot to h*!@.

[Jeeper]

What are the easiest ones from the new rulebook? Any ideas???

[John Dunn]

I would have said Six Chickens, but I think they fixed that one.

[PhilTerry]

I think 03-15 falls under this heading.

[MoNsTeR]

I think 03-15 falls under this heading.

Totally.

It's no fun, but the HHF is low.

[ErikW]

CM03-03 seems to have a low HHF, in Limited at least.
