Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted May 16, 2011 End of the day its coke and pepsi. Some people have a definite preference for one over the other. Others can barely tell them apart. Nice take on it and well put. At this point I really like IDPA, but not sure if that is because of the format or the club. I think more the latter. SCFGPA puts on a nice shoot for very little money. Smaller scale, which helps those of us that are vertically challenged (I'm not overweight, I'm undertall), and on a tighter budget. Lots to remember, but I had fewer brain farts this time (although I still managed to self-destruct). I enjoy USPSA also, but OB, for me is just too hardcore - too many stages, too many people, just kind of takes the fun out of it. CJRPC is somewhere in the middle. 5 stages I can do and I enjoy it, although the enjoyment diminishes as the day grows longer. I've never kidded myself that either of these disciplines are anything but games. But, anything that has you shooting, moving, reloading, shooting over, around and through things certainly is better preparation for the real world than standing at the firing line and shooting static targets (that has its place too). Anything that gets you to put lead down range can be a help to you in dire circumstances, but I reiterate, they are both games. Glad that you and Vlad made it yesterday, it demonstarated that you guys aren't of the USPSA or nothing mindset. Adios, Pizza Bob 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted May 16, 2011 Yeah - I had a couple issues yesterday myself. I think my thumb was resting on my slide release so I didn't get slide lock on one stage. Held up my time bigtime on that stage. I did really well on the headshot through the window stage though (stage 2). I think I came in 7th overall on that.

Vlad G 345 Posted May 16, 2011 Glad that you and Vlad made it yesterday, it demonstarated that you guys aren't of the USPSA or nothing mindset. I don't think either of us ever said we were. I far prefer USPSA and with the number of matches in the area I don't see myself shooting anything else with any kind of regularity, but if our area didn't have USPSA match in abundance I'd probably shoot IDPA. However, I'll stick to USPSA I think. I won't comment on the odd "house rules" scoring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSlav 14 Posted May 16, 2011 Nice take on it and well put. At this point I really like IDPA, but not sure if that is because of the format or the club. I think more the latter. SCFGPA puts on a nice shoot for very little money. Hard to argue that. $10 for non members and you get pizza? Thats their problem right there. If they want to reduce the number of people that choose to show up, they need to stop treating them so nicely. Smaller scale, which helps those of us that are vertically challenged (I'm not overweight, I'm undertall), and on a tighter budget. Lots to remember, but I had fewer brain farts this time (although I still managed to self-destruct).

CJRPC is somewhere in the middle. 5 stages I can do and I enjoy it, although the enjoyment diminishes as the day grows longer. If you have not already, you may want to give our (OB) Friday (1st & 3rd) matches a shot. These are run very similarly to SCFGPA - 4 stages shot at the indoor range two stages at a time with an 18 rounds per stage maximum. Glad that you and Vlad made it yesterday, it demonstarated that you guys aren't of the USPSA or nothing mindset. I believe both of us would shoot any discipline that involves pulling a trigger and hitting a target. In the end it comes down to time. IDPA is just one of many things that I would shoot regularly if I had no other responsibilities. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krdshrk 3,877 Posted May 16, 2011 How much? Doesn't say on the OBCats site. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted May 16, 2011 I honestly don't know what the current rule on that is. Members pay $5 but I know at some point they had some issues with a different discipline and it ended up being $20 for non-members. I don't know if that rule is still in effect however.

Krdshrk 3,877 Posted May 16, 2011 $15 ain't bad. I don't really care about the pizza. It's just an added perk at SCFGPA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StephanieSeven 70 Posted May 16, 2011 I won't comment on the odd "house rules" scoring. lol. by saying that, you have commented on them. that one RO was definitely making a lot of odd calls. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted May 16, 2011 Yeah I acknowledged it too, and I think Tom did as well, when Bucky or someone else said something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HuntingPaper 62 Posted May 16, 2011 lol. by saying that, you have commented on them. that one RO was definitely making a lot of odd calls. That's what I hate most of that place... The SO coaching during your run. The shouldn't be saying anything but range commands and if you are doing something wrong just score the penalty. After the buzzer goes off I'm only specting to hear "muzzle", "trigger" or "stop" anything but that is just interference. The last time that I was there I left the match half way just because of that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted May 16, 2011 lol. by saying that, you have commented on them. that one RO was definitely making a lot of odd calls. Sort of. I'm a match director and I will NOT get in debates about how other match directors run their matches, I respect the effort they put in because I know what it takes. I found the scoring surprising, but just because I don't understand the reasoning behind it it doesn't mean I'm to going argue about it or criticize it. When someone puts on a match, I play by their rules. That was the gist of comment, and in retrospect I probably should have not made it at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RecessedFilter 222 Posted May 16, 2011 Where are scores up? I checked SC's site and I can't find anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrP 81 Posted May 17, 2011 Results are also posted at Nepaidpascores.net Nice shooting all! I had a better match than I thought, doing well on stage 4 helped offset my poor performance on stage 2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StephanieSeven 70 Posted May 25, 2011 anyone happen to take a couple of 9mm Glock mags or see someone ruffling around in my bag? i'm missing three mags since this match. so pissed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad G 345 Posted May 26, 2011 Sorry to hear that, it wasn't me. I don't do Glocks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted May 26, 2011 Nope, Didn't see anyone. Maybe e-mail Tom Richards to see if he found any? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 264 Posted May 26, 2011 That's bs, Steph. Unfortunately I will be unable to attend the June match, but I would recommend making an announcement before the first walkthrough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieSeven 70 Posted May 26, 2011 i emailed tom to ask him if he would make an announcement. i won't be at the next match either. people are ef'ed up. i can see accidentally taking something (i just took Luis's glasses Sunday) but you don't accidentally walk off with three mags. i'm hoping i just misplaced them but they are seriously MIA. last time i had them was that match.

MrP 81 Posted May 26, 2011 Steph! They are at SCFGPA waiting for you. We found them after nearly everyone left, fairly sure Bob Raike has them in the office. I'll get you his number. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moose 4 Posted May 26, 2011 Gun owners are pretty honest people, i had no doubt they would turn up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieSeven 70 Posted May 26, 2011 Thanks Mark. Tom emailed me that he has them. Phew. Moose, I was thinking the same thing but when I started asking around about my mags I got a couple of stories of people having mags and stuff stolen when at matches. Some people suck! So glad my mags turned up. Stupid me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
