A different group of people out having fun. Mostly you just compare yourself to those that are shooting similar equipment; your friends.<br /><br />I do compare this to 3Gun though. I am not sure what is up with USPSA running the matches, but I will shoot an Outlaw match any day over USPSA.

It should be a Frisbee sport, in that it should be evolving, but sadly not (rules committee). While only appealing to a few, it does not draw many shooters from either CAS or IDPA/USPSA/3GUN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-43149664346408573292015-09-08T08:43:09.254-06:002015-09-08T08:43:09.254-06:00The game becomes more important than the concept. ...The game becomes more important than the concept. Even Col. Cooper couldn't stop it.<br /><br />It is very true for IDPA. The rule changes are meant for the 10% who shoot big sanctioned matches. The 90% of members will never shoot them because they just want to practice concealed carry only find the changes confusing and limiting. <br /><br />I won't SO sanction matches any more because Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-64510312566115261482015-09-08T08:28:39.554-06:002015-09-08T08:28:39.554-06:00I only compete in "primitive rifle" shoo...I only compete in "primitive rifle" shooting matches. There, we usually have just two (2) classes; "trade gun" (no rear sight and a smooth bore) and "rifle". Either class can have either flint or cap ignition. All have to shoot a patched, round-ball as a projectile. These simple restrictions keep the field mostly leveled to a match of skill. These rules have Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-20070920465929201272015-09-07T21:25:43.362-06:002015-09-07T21:25:43.362-06:00A lot of the bitching at USPSA is because they pan...A lot of the bitching at USPSA is because they pandered to the shooter base when creating Carry Optics. If a body is going to commit to the level of carrying a dot gun, are they really going to limit themselves to 35oz, all the odd USPSA Production rules around modifications and 10 round magazines unless mandated by law?<br /><br />The original point of Cooper's rules was to let everything Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-3722150684709091082015-09-07T11:51:45.070-06:002015-09-07T11:51:45.070-06:00I was talking to a top shooter recently who opined...<i>I was talking to a <b>top shooter</b> recently who opined that he was at a complete loss to understand the concept of classes and division; rather, the only thing that made sense to him was shooting "straight up,"</i><br /><br />And this is why that top shooter isn't the president of the "X-X Competition". <br />(if they are, it won't be around 8 months from now)<brKMitch200noreply@blogger.com
