July 10th Alliston Match... Great match... Video!
- Thread starter The ROC
- Start date
Good thing I can choose where I want to shoot. And from time to time people can use a good kick in the nuts to get back to reality.
the way you act and how you burn all the bridges you won't be welcome anywhere in Ontario to shoot.
Peter, don't see how weekly Wentworth club matches has anything to do with this. All I can say people setting up stages at Wentworth have enough creativity for such small range and it well worth $2 for the match. As for my practice, I am a member of an outdoor club where I can go alone and shoot whatever I want, including steel, swingers and other movers. but again I don't see what does have to do with the stage design I criticized.
I don't burn any bridges (again not for you to decide if I do or not).
Eugene, you are critical beyond comprehension. You have not shot last match in Alliston, but based on a video clip you have so much to say. Well, tell you this, last match there was very good and you should stay quiet if you were not there.
It is like me, saying your stages in Wentworth sucked based on someones opinion or some video clips. I will never do that, but pretty much I will hurt some people. Slowly you develop a stigma of being pain in the ars or too critical. People in general do not like that attitude, it is very negative in my opinion and believe me behind your back I hear opinions about your attitude. There is something called sportsmanship my friend.
Memorize that word if you can, may help you.
Take care

IMHO that is NOT an appropriate statement to make on this forum!
Don't see any reason to stay quiet. Videos from the match were posted.
You had saw stages several large USPSA matches... and I see no reason for stages at our local matches to lack the same challenge. Unfortunately there is no way to change things without telling people about them (or else showing by example) and someone have to pay the price.
In Canada we could really use more communication about stages from big matches, with stage diagrams, videos and reports from competitors travelling to the matches. Maybe then we'll see more Canadian placing top at the large international matches.
This is just who I am...
The trick is to do less, most shooting bays cannot handle more than 3 stages and about 40-50 rounds and have interesting stages. I find I can reasonably get 45 rounds and 1 speed shoot, 1 medium, and 1 long on each bay at Sharon or an indoor club (without resorting to stacking targets)
A Level I match really doesn't need to have more than 2 to 3 stages and a Level II works pretty good with 4 to 6, but you need to 2 bays to make that work.
Pat,
I hear you, however majority of guys like rounds. Most of the guys who go to level I match do not practice regularly, they go to have fun, lots of fun.
Another thing, everybody likes different things. Some like low count matches like you, some like large count matches.
You have mention, that your level II match will be around 90 rounds. I betta, there will be someone saying Sharon with such a big facility has only 90 round match...
You will never make all happy
Sure they were, but based on a video of one person having camera attached to his hat it is hard to form an opinion, especially when camera operator was praising the match. Am telling you this match was good.
Eugene, you know me too. I like USPSA, I think is more interesting then IPSC, but I will not bash IPSC or match organizers in any way. I have choice and I try to make a good call for myself.
If we can get all of the facility, which we are working on, we can run a much bigger match, but at the moment we can use two bays for a Level II and I`d rather have a fun match that runs on time than a high round count.
It`s not that I like low round count matches, I love big matches, but I don`t like stages that have the sole purpose of burning ammo. A good example is the US Nationals, 350+ rounds, average stage round count is 20 rounds and there is not one place they stack targets to make up round count, Area 2 is very similar. We have started to assume up here that match attendance is based strictly on round count and stage designs reflect that.
To be honest I like Level I`s because they should be economical, Low entry fee, low round count (less lost brass) and less time on range. If a Level I is going to be high round count and high entry, and I have to be there for 3 hours or more, I`ll wait for a Level II.
My personal belief is that if you run a match that has a Level II round count (over 75 rounds) it should automatically be considered a Level II and all rules and fee`s then apply. Hopefully then we`d see more economical matches.

You mean like this:

Lol...I remember telling you that a while back
EXACTLY !!!!!!!
amazing how only having 1 or 2 targets at a shooting position verse empty a mag at a shooting position can change a COF from run and gun to stand a shoot ... huh???
and this is by no means a slam agains Alliston ...keep up the good work
Peter, there is no significant difference between USPSA and IPSC. What make difference is not the round count and quantity of stages, but their quality.
Eugene,
huge difference,
your production rig for example
my standard/limited, for example no box,
allocation of pouches in Limited,
PFactors
no ratio of 1-2-3
and maybe most important: rules for IPSC are written sometimes by those who have stop shooting or shoot very little
, who have certain preference to equipment, regions can consist of few shooters and still has same powers like those who have thousands members, who do not always apply IPSC rules because they do not want to loose members, allowing silly equipment get into the game (Air soft)
This is what makes me like USPSA, however This is my personal opinion, which was Developed by reading and drawing information mostly from the GV forum. I would not like anyone to think that I complain about IPSC, contrary, I just prefer USPS rules, that's all.Like I said - insignificant difference. I still using the same rig in IPSC and USPSA.
... regions can consist of few shooters and still has same powers like those who have thousands members
It all makes me sad that instead of having great matches, country with more shooters then most is not able to put up lots of great matches. More over, there is countries where handgun ownership is prohibited for the most people, yet they are able to prepare competitors who regularly kick ass at many major matches. Yet Canada with its relative firearm freedom have less then a dozen shooters who can compete internationally...
