So I've done the reverse-engineering, and I anticipate being in the B class if they ever post the classification updates this month.

I think it might be helpful to get a little extra motivation for practicing, dryfiring, getting to the range, etc, if I have someone out there to compete against. Are there any B class shooters who want to race me to A class?

I shoot production, by the way. But I'm not sure it matters for the purpose of having a little motivational online rivalry.

Dang! Dude! You just joined this July and you're already going to be a B and you're on your way to A.

That's impressive. :cheers:

You must be either putting a lot of rounds downrange or dry firing a lot.

Yeah, I guess you can count me in. I am stuck in B in both Limited and Production. A58592 . I joined back in Feb or March of 2007.

I will race you. I should be a b soon. I think I would have gotten it if I brought a gun that ran at the clasifier match. Due to a couple of jams it really messed up my match. I know don't make excuses but I now have a new pistol and use jacketed bullets for comps and have been doing much better.

It is always nice to have a little drive.

Cool. Let's cap this little comp at 5 people, just to keep it manageable. I think we're at 4 so far, including me?

If you guys will let me know what your USPSA numbers are, and what division you'll be shooting in, I'll update this thread every month when the new classifications come out.

Ok, here's the "squad." lol.

beltjones A69269 Production
Corey A67152 Singlestack
Chills1994 A58592 Singlestack
Guy C A68036 Limited
KZ45 A57707 Limited
Juan A53707 Singlestack

Aaaaaaand that closes the squad. If you don't see your number next to your name, it's because either I don't have it, or I'm not sure if you want me to post it on the thread. Let me know your number, whether or not I should post it (we can keep it in the confines of PM's if you wish), and what division you're trying to make A in, and I'll update everyone's current percentage as soon as the new classifications come out in the next day or so.

Cool TRUbor9. I'll add you to the race!

In the mean time I shot a classifier since the last classification was released. It was 06-06 "Golden Bullet Standards," where you engage 6 targets with one round, reload, and engage them again strong hand only. Repeat with the weak hand for stage two. My hits were good, and my time would have been good if not for one mental mistake. On the first string I engaged the six targets free style, then stopped and started to holster for the second string. Then of course I realized I wasn't done, so I reloaded and engaged the targets strong hand. Unbelievable. It probably cost me 3 seconds. I rehearsed the classifier probably 5 times in my mind, and yet when it was my turn to shoot I had a major brain fart. Aaaaargh. lol.
