USPSA Match @ ACC 2-27-2011

[bwframe]

Yup, that way if you do good on the first run, you can push a little faster on the second.

Or visa versa.

Pull out all the stops when you shoot a classifier, go for broke unless you want to stay in a lower class that your ability is so you can say I won D class when you are a B class shooter or better.

Everyone loves a sandbagger.

hey! I was barely knockin on the door of C class last year when I won D class at State!

ooh... wait... you're talking bout Teddy, aren'cha

 

[sv40sw45]

I had both 45 and 40 Single Stacks by STI and could not tell a dimes worth of difference between them. I went with the Trojan 40 for the reason of only loading 40's and 9's.

AHHHHH YAHHHH

I dont like the hero or zero style for just classifiers, unless thats how you shoot all matches. Whenever I try to crank out a fast classifier, I usually tank it and it doesnt help me move up anyway. I just try to shoot them normally and when my skills are ready, the system will work and I'll get my bump.

(unless of course I shoot classifier matches like this with my SS gear in L-10 as to not have a good day and have an accidental bump to A-class before SS nats )

hmm, didn't think of that.... Could even shoot L10 classifiers with 8 rnd mags....

I would think that no matter what you are classed as, your shooting abilities will show at a match. If you are a D shooter and consistently beat B shooters, it will show.
If you go to a large major that has GM's in your division, you will see what % you shoot of those guys. That is where you should be classed assuming you didn't screw up the match.
I'm classed at 64%, low B. That's around where I come in at majors.

Everytime I try to "pull out all the stops" I have Mikes/NSs and tank the classifier. Of course that doesn't count against me and I suppose I could if I shot enough of them, I might nail enough that I move up. But, I don't want to move up to a class I can't compete in. No sense shooting Master class classifiers if you go to a major match and half the A shooters beat you, IMO.

Of course, I don't believe I've ever shot an A class classifier.

 

[HICKMAN]

I quit all that, as you said, I want to move up as I improve.

My first A class classifier the last match at Silver Creek. Shot in rhythm, hit the reload and scored good.

But this is one of those that seem to be scoring everyone a little high. I thought I shot "High B" good, but not A.

I do think there is a big difference in classifiers and shooting majors though. Classifiers seemed to be catered more to the immobile guys like me, whereas the majors are more long, run and gun.

almost EVERY classifier is a reload under 8 rounds if at all.

now if I just had some .45 dies...

You can always try this out

 

[sv40sw45]

Just so happens I have a tool head set up for 45. HUMMMMM

AMEN!!!

oh......I might know a person like this

 

[sv40sw45]

Well I guess the answer is shoot your sights and go for A's

 

[sv40sw45]

On a speed shoot classifier go for points, on a field course classifier go for the time.

Won't ALWAYS work, but more times that not, this will work!

It all depends on the HF of the stages and how they will work out.

 

[crispy]

So relate all this to the six classifiers we have coming up on Sunday?

I'm hearing, go for points even if it means taking the time to take another shot. Is that correct?

If its a Virginia Count stage, which a few are, you will receive a penatly for extra shots fired.
