Rectum Ima shoot this thing also. Might be needed skake down run prior to the state match
 
This will be my first time shooting this match since November, a few months after they opened up the new bays. What do I need to know that's changed in the last year?
 
They do a great job providing shade, and when it's really hot they have plenty of water in coolers. They do all of the stages in the new bays (at least last month was) so it's not like you pass by the parking lot any more. I usually just plan on bringing everything to the stage with me Other than that, just expect tons of steel and some long shots, normally lots of stage options.

I have fond memories of CGGR as a windless frying pan, so I was planning to bring my EZ UP to go with us from stage to stage. May do it anyway. Can never have too much shade...
 
So, expect to not go back to your car. What's the round count these days? Looks like 7 squads, so 7 stages? Or 8 with a classifier + speed shoot in one?
 
140 rounds last month, but stages were shortened down somewhat it seemed, due to heat. Last month there were seven stages and 6 squads. I would guess that since the classifier is a slower, two string classifier that there isn't a speed shoot paired with it this month. Mind you this is 100% speculation and probably won't hold up in court.

What is the classifier?
 
Does anyone shoot revolvers at this match? I recently shot ICORE with @John Z and had a great time. Maybe this could fill in between matches for me.

Don't know how often, there was one last month. Maybe if you shoot it they will come?

Last month there was one revolver shooter there. Uspsa matches always have revolver division, so you are more than welcome to shoot it. Good news is you will either finish first, last, or possibly both! And if you want to get in, there is one empty slot right now according to practiscore on squad 4. Lots of good guys and girls in that one too!

Squad 4 rocks, just saying

It is unfortunate that not many shoot revo in USPSA anymore, or even IDPA for that matter. Guess the world is turning towards the high capacity bottom feeding "Sir-Miss-a-Lot" guns made of plastic, while us old school hard core dudes get it done with 6 rounds at a time from a gun made of walnut and steel!!! In my humble opinion, and I feel my opinion is worth something, having been a revo shooter in USPSA for many years, and making GM the hard way with a 6 shot revo, revo is not the same now that they allow the 8 shot revo to compete. Just my 2 cents, and that is the reason after MANY years as a USPSA member, RO, and Club President, I am no longer part of USPSA. Bottom line, shoot what you like, no matter the sport, and always be SAFE while having FUN, and try to bring a new shooter out with you.

I am thinking that it could help just to get more trigger time under a timer on unfamiliar stages (i.e., not on the same plates I shoot at my house). ICORE will be my thing as long as it's running, but maybe USPSA could help me with ICORE performance.... My standing at a USPSA match would be irrelevant, but may be a good practice session for ICORE where I will probably start to care about my scores before too long.
 
Hopefully this time around they load the results with my uspsa member number so I can eventually get my classification LOL. Wait like 3 weeks for the results to get sent in to uspsa to find they somehow forgot your uspsa number.........

Wierd, looking under match results it appears either no one's number got uploaded or the USPSA site glitched.

Seems to be something odd with the site though. Weds morning my SWGC was classifier was Y, by Weds evening it was P again, but my overall percentage remains adjusted and CSOS remains D.

It took forever for me to get an intial classification as the clubs I go to seemed to be running the same classifiers which was really frustrating at the time. Its kinda neat to know where you are nationally, and can give you a goal, but at the same time it doesn't mean a whole lot.
