are there payouts for USPSA?

I guess it all depends on the range master and match directors. All the ones i have talked to are pretty cool and you know they aren't making much $. I have no problem of them giving some $ to ROs and helpers. They really should be treated better!!

FWIW i was talking to Mannie and the proceeds for the last level 2 at guelph are going towards a texas star...the next match fees will be more props and cool toys.
 
I guess you draw the line when shooters think they aren't getting value for money. It's a hard one to figure out, but if:

Stage design is unique and challenging, with some props and ideas that haven't been used before, at least at that range

Facilities are there (ranges set up, toilets in place, breakfast on the grill while shooters are lineing up to register), shade or rain protection is available.

ROs are organised and squadding is either predone or done as registration occurs

Score sheets for stages are pre printed and there is a scorer with helpers so there isn't a huge delay in getting stats

Then the customers will be happy. And they are customers if they aren't from your home club, so they need to be treated well so they'll come back. They are paying for a shooting experience.

The club I mentioned in my first post is hosting the world NRA Action Match championship this year. Success breeds success.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a thread on IPSC global village which prompted a detemination that a texas star is not an "aproved" ispc target, but rather a "carnival" target, and therefore could not be used in a sanctioned match?
 
hm...u see them in videos all the time.

Duh, just read vince's post on GV. I guess we'll just use it for Level 2s and stuff then.

that ruling on TS's sucks. the one post about shooters/people and testing and all that completely contradicts itself. A TS is a reasonable skill test. If a person waits long enough they can shoot each plate at a standstill. same as any mover (non disappearing) target.
Sean if you are listening I'd like you to vote for Texas Stars to be made IPSC sanctioned targets, maybe just make it so the plates have to meet the current design parameters.
 
I agree with you guys - so long as the plates are regulation size, the presentation of them is irrelevant. There's nothing in the rule book to say it isn't. Canada will ask for recognition of them. (Well, if I'm re-elected, otherwise check with the next RD... ;) )

The always there pissing contest between USPSA and IPSC has heated up a lot this year (both sides are not without fault in it) IPSC Canada has always been stuck in the middle on this thing. Our proximity to the largest IPSC region in the world influences us greatly, but we are part of IPSC, not USPSA...

I'd hazzard to guess the US-born Texas Star is one of the casualties of that contest. My opinion is that politics will overshadow reason in this and we won't win a direct battle.

Of course, who says the stage description submitted has to say "Texas Star" - can't it say "5 regulation round plates can be shot from this location?" :D

About time you stop sandbagging :D :p :p :p :p

I sure like to try one of these Texas star....the only thing I don't like is showing to a major match and shooting one for the first time....

Musky you see them in video because they are USPSA not IPSC video ;)
