Okay, dumb question: will all of these scores count towards your classification? Example, an unclassified shooter shows up for his first match, shoots these six classifiers, the four best scores will be used to establish the shooter's classification - is this correct?

Corrrect. This is why clubs run these matches, so new shooters can get classified quickly.

Just a heads up...

Practiscore's confirmation email has March 19th as the date.

Same. That was the date of their first scheduled USPSA match of the season.

Not necessarily.

It's quite possible to zero a stage (or 3) A classifier score that is less than 2% will not be used towards an initial classification.

The link, Yes.

If you register, the Comformation email says Match is MARCH 19th.

I'll have to try extra hard then to make sure that I am at least 2.5% to give myself a comfortable margin.

Make sure your ammo feeds this time, unlike at BUAS.

 

[eboos]

Can't argue with that.

 

[bigblue]

What divisions do you run at Bradford?


ETA Forget it, I see that you only run the old stuff. Not interested.

 

[hedgehound]

Big thank you to the Bradford team for organizing the match!

Smooth, efficient, stress free (other than stress from timer!)

 

[CTjer]

Thanks Jack, Wade, John and everyone else for today. Good time and great weather

 

[Bradford Action Shooters]

The match results are now available on Practiscore. Any questions or problems please let me know.

[CTjer]

Thanks Jack.


Are the second run scores going to be uploaded to USPSA as well?

 

[Bradford Action Shooters]

CTjer -

I took the best total score of either match and submitted it to USPSA in a single match file. That's what your seeing in the above Practiscore link and on the USPSA website. LOL - yeah it was a lot of work to sort through it! Next time I think we'll try setting it up as one match with shooters CTjer 1, CTjer 2, etc...

Thanks & Best -

Jack

Tim, it was a pleasure meeting and shooting with you and Anatoly. Hope to see you guys again.

Yikes! It is a good thing that I had two other classifiers scores on the books because I ran 3 D's and a zero on Sunday. It looks like I will be a low mid C at about 47% to start. Need to get much faster.

If your hitting all As you're probably shooting too slow. If you're hitting more than 1 D you're shooting too fast.

 

[Supermoto]

If your hitting all As you're probably shooting too slow. If you're hitting more than 1 D you're shooting too fast.

Speed and accuracy are not dependent on each other. I have never thought I shot a stage too fast, just to inaccurately.

Shoot all As as fast as you can

Easy to ZERO some of those classifiers (well for me at least).

Got initially classified as a 'C' after this match.

Much work to do myself, but you gotta start somewhere.

I disagree with that in general, but especially in the context of a classifier match. I seem to recall a video with TGO putting 1 - 10 rounds on a target in a fixed amount of time. As the number of rounds he was getting off increased, his accuracy suffered. Almost like there can be a tradeoff between speed and accuracy.

It takes the same amount of time to shoot a D as it does an A

That's a good place to start.

Yeah, same here with a C, but I was hoping for a B. Ran the first stage at 56%, so I was hoping that the rest were going to be even better. That wasn't the case.

BTW, congrats to Jack, he moved to A!
