Will Robbie claim his title back?
Will Dave repeat?

Or will there be a new champ this year?

Will we see Phil, Todd, Taran or Max claim the title?

Max is going in with two Area back to back wins, is he favored?

What are your thoughts?

[Chris Keen]

I think Robbies coming back!!!

No offense to the parties involved, but Dave Sevigny is the "Cliff Walsh" of SS!!

Jerry reclaimed the crown, and so will Robbie!

I think Max could take this one. He has won the national title in the "pinnacle" of the sport in open where a transition between targets could mean the difference in 1st or 2nd. However, Dave brings the experience of "aiming" with an absolute purpose from all of his production experience, showcased by his single "D" in last year's SS nationals. TGO is hands-down the best shooter in the sport, which is why he continues to win, but his mobility is the only limiting factor to his continued dominance. At the end of the day, I'm still going to hope for another TGO victory!

I think that since Travis is with Para, he may be inclined to shoot Single Stack and take the title.

It'll be interesting to see what Max can do with a skinny gun this year...

My top finishers are:

1. Max
2. Robbie
3. Nils
4. Dave
5. Manny

Robbie is hungry and after last year coming in 2nd at 3 Nationals he is going to be tough to beat. He has a full year on the new knees this time and is down a bunch of weight.

There are a couple of guys that are going to be bringing it, you can't count Dave out. He has something to prove in that last year was not one time hit.

Nils shows up last minute with barrowed gear and and comes in third!?!? (that kid has potential )

Max got a new gun with his name on it, kicking butt so far with it.

No way ...... Nothing against either party, but Manny is like Phil Strader ..... always the bridesmaid, never the bride!

My list would be more like this:

1. TGO
2. Max
3. Dave
4. Nils
5. Todd

[JakeMartens]

I think that since Travis is with Para, he may be inclined to shoot Single Stack and take the title.

He is not signed up to shoot, at least not on the self squadding page

neither is Blake

and actually neither is Max, but there is the mystery comp#41 listed on the Super Squad and since Max has said he is shooting it this year one would have to think that is him listed as comp#41.

[leas327]

That list looks pretty good Chris. I could fathom a flip at 1 and 2.

[BritinUSA]

Max and Blake are shooting on Friday

[latech15]

Max
Dave
TGO
And so on.....

Max beat Dave by 5% at the last area match they shot together.

Dat boy is good, ya.

[JakeMartens]

oops, missed that on Friday

So is Nils competitor#41 on the SS?

[JakeMartens]

From their facebook pages

Max Michel
Boarding for my 3 flt journey to Quincy, IL for the Single Stack Nationals. Should be a fun learning experience and hope to do well. I hear it's a diff type of competition then I a used to. Safe travels to all!

Dave's response to Area 6
Dave Sevigny
95% or so, which on the bright side is fine being that I am 10% off peak right now
Dave Sevigny
Peaking for me is about how consistent I am in delivering the best run on demand in both training and practice.

[Avezorak]

Im gonna go with :

Max
TGO
Dave
Nills
Todd

All at 96% and up

[fastluck13]

For the perfecta

1) Nils
2) TGO


Rio!

[Gary1911A1]

I'm betting on Robbie. Us older guys have to stick together.

[waynes_world_45]

ouch

[waynes_world_45]

Shannon is on a roll...been shooting very well lately

[Flexmoney]

Few people on the planet have ever beat TGO with a Single-Stack...at a Major match in the last decade or so.

Lets count them.

















OK... that was boringly quick.

Now, lets just count the few that have beat him at a Major with iron sights in the last decade.

[Corey]

And Nils jumps out to an early lead. Can he hold on...

[Sandro]

I hope Rob wins, but I think the power is with the young bucks now.

................. when he had BAD knees. Now he has new knees!

(Lt. Dan, you got magic knees!)

[Chills1994]

I hope Rob wins, but I think the power is with the young bucks now.

In my opinion, the Single Stack Nats/Classic is not a run and gun 32 round field course-ish match, where the younger skinnier guys with much better knees would theoretically have an advantage.
