racerba Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 They have different factors of fun. It's like comparing apples to oranges and asking which fruit is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorDanO Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I've settled on switching back and forth between Open and Production. They are pretty much polar opposites of each other. The decision usually comes down to which ammo I have loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z Sr Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Shot all divisions but open, by far the most fun for me is revolver,, only problem is trying to get enough revolver shooters at a match to have some competition,,, it gets old trying to compare yourself to the SS shooters when you are the only revo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spray_N_Prey Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 yeah i'm going to say Limited 6 (revolver). it really does test your skills. I do agree with John Z Sr though, it does suck because it's usually only me shooting revolver. But I have came in 3rd and 4th overall (local matches only) and it does put a BIG smile on my face to beat some of the local "limited" shooters with a wheelie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Burtchell Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Open for me. Target focus eliminates my vision issues, less mag changes, loud and fast plus I enjoy finishing further up in the overalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I like Single Stack, and I like being high on the leader boards beating the high cap guys Then again most of the competition is in Limited so after SS nats I'll be switching to limited for the rest of the year.....or that is what I say now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueridge Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Open for me. Target focus eliminates my vision issues, less mag changes, loud and fast plus I enjoy finishing further up in the overalls. Open loud???? When??? I have yet to see an open gun louder than my Ruger Alaskan shooting .45 Colt. Oh and my bullets hit harder. . I reload and use 250gr LRNFP bullets over 5.8 to 6.0 gr of Titegroup, which runs 170 to 177 power factor. Don't get me wrong as I enjoy watching OTHER PEOPLE shoot open, but I have no interest to shoot it myself. Revolver division is the most fun to me. I considered changing in the first year that I shot revolver due to lack of other revolver shooters, but decided that it was just as much fun to try and beat single stack, production, and limited 10 competitors. Also I had to be "my own man" at matches because I rarely had other revolver shooters in my squad. I had to figure out how to approach stages in a way that worked best for me, as listening to the auto shooters (who generally never shot revolver in competition) did little to help. Being able to participate in the 2009 Memphis Charity Challenge was a blast. It was the first match that I am aware of that was for revolver shooters. The fun of having 70+ revolver shooters, including 7 GM's, was a great experience. I will be going to the 2010 Memphis Charity Challenge this next November.

sslav Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Production. Though I have not yet tried open or revolver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvb Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I've long considered myself a Production guy first and foremost, but I had been shooting Open for all of '09 as I needed a change of pace for a while. This fall I took a couple months off all shooting and practicing, and just recently started pulling my Production gun out of the safe for a bit of dryfire since I plan to shoot it in '10. However, I keep catching myself making longing glances at my Open gun when the safe is open, so right now I'm feeling a little torn between two loves... -rvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTBfarms Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Thanks, now I'm the little fish in a small pound full of a BIG sharks Stay away from the hooks and dorsal fins and you should be OK. Limited is a blast. The competition is very heavy. If you are at or near the top of any match even local, you did something right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pskys2 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 You should have made this a poll. 1 Revolver 2 Limited 3 L10 4 SS 5 Production 6 Open (sold my last open gun in 1996). But they're all great fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A62335 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I think Singlestack is the most enjoyable for me, but I have yet to try Open or Revolver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glocklover Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I love revolver, but I hate being at the bottom of the overall scores. It's my competative nature, but anything that goes bang is fun to me. 1. Limited 2. Production 3. Revolver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sargenv Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Revolver with my 6 shot revo... Production with my stock 627 in 38 Super L10-minor with my tricked out, tuned 627 in 38 spl. Open with the stock 627 wearing the optional comp and a red dot.. Notice a trend here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boz1911 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 For a pure adrenalin rush, nothing beats an open blaster. I still love my Limited gun though and Single Stack makes you use a sensible brain throughout the entire stage. I never liked and probably never will like the trigger control required to shoot production..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandbagger Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 i have been shooting limited in 4 years, it is the most fun and challenging for me not to mention heavy competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebg3 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I've shot all but SS and Revo. I think I'd like to try Revo next it looks like it would be fun and a heck of a challenge. Limited is still the most enjoyable division for me. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Amish 1 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Recently switched to Open, played in Production for while and prior to that, in Revo. So, currently 1. Open 2. Production 3. Lim-6 And yes, switching to Open is like starting to date all over again. (Paraphrasing Aristotle's comment at this point... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
