Anyone going to the USPSA match in Greeley Sunday?

Ah, that's not fun... :'(

Nah, just kidding! I bet you you'll have a good time anyway.

I'll see you in the morning,

If you got one of those belts/holster with all the cool toys that the boys in blue carry, you can shoot with it. Just saying...

I sent you a PM.


No cool toy belt. That's not my gig at the jail. I just open doors.

Is the classifier different than the rest of the matches through out the year like the IDPA classifier? If you go tomorrow and think it looks boring, just remember that you showed up on "test day."

Here in CO there are several "special" USPSA matches. For example, today's match is called a Qualifier and, though the stages may be similar to a "regular" match, the intent of this event is for participants to earn points for next year's Nationals match in Las Vegas. Every club offers a Qualifier match once per year and a shooter needs to shoot at least three of these (and place well) in order to qualify. Another difference is that A LOT more people show up to these matches because everyone is hoping to earn a spot for Nationals!

Classifiers are done a bit different than IDPA. In USPSA you have one classifier stage at every match you attend and your performance is compared to the national average. Sometimes a local club can sponsor an "all classifiers" match. This is to say that shooters will shoot either 5 or 6 different classifiers only and no other COF. Shooting a Classifier match gives people the opportunity of obtaining a classification in a different Division in a short amount of time (instead of having to attend a minimum of 4 matches to get one as is typically the case).

Thank you for the walk through. That method for sure makes it easier for people to jump right into the sport without potentially showing up on test day for their first time.
