awesome! I'm curious as to what the divisions mean. Any idea what he divisional series is? Although there are days I feel like I shoot like the man.. I am relelgated to amateur I suspect.

I'm glad all of the 2012 matches are back on the list plus some new ones. Also glad the USPSA MG Nats is back on there. Pleased with the decision to make Semi Pro TO only.

jtischauser · Nov 30, 2012

There are a boat load of matches available for shooters to shoot. It's going to be interesting to see which matches provide the best opportunities for semi pro and division series shooters to gain points.

I bet the winners come out of the areas with the smallest match closest to them. NW Multi Gun had a lot of opportunities last year. I bet the new matches Tarheel 3 Gun, Task Force Dagger and whatever that International 3 Gun match is at The Rock draw less top shooters due to the unknowns with a new match.

I'm gonna try to shoot 2-3 different division series this year.

I also see a lot of ties in the division series. Theoretically it is possible to have 5 shooters with 300 points each in any one division.

They just pissed all over their big matches by making the little one I have never heard of "majors"

Which ones have you never heard of?

We need a couple little majors in OK.

I guess as long as Horner shoots TO at all of them it doesn't matter. But if no one at the top shows up everyone gets free points

The task force dagger match was a lot of fun even though it was a cluster **** from the administration point of view. I've got videos of the match somewhere if anyone is interested. It was a nice mix of close range and distance. One of the nicest ranges I've ever seen in my life.

Guess you need to get a hard case and fly to the smallest matches you can find that are the furthest from Georgia.

Or shoot matches that fall on the same weekend as a Pro match.

There's the plan. What pro matchs overlap others?

Midwest 3 Gun Does.

Pigfish73 · Dec 1, 2012

I haven't seen a date for Ozark yet, but there's a Pro match scheduled for the same weekend that it is usually held on.

I was not planning on going back to Midwest, but when I saw that there was a conflict with a Pro match I immediately contacted one of my teammates and told him we should go!

jtischauser · Dec 1, 2012

Dang Chris! Those two matches are must shoot for any semi pro that's wanting to rack up some points. Especially since last year there want a bunch if pro shooters at the matches already. If you added NW Multi gun or the Tarheel or Task force dagger id day your guarantees a slot in the end if season pro shoot in match.

Did you know Tarheel still has a shotgun rule that states "magazine tube can only hold 8" like the old USPSA MG rules. And TFD is being MD'ed by Andy Horner this year and they're going to use the rule set that he wrote for Blue Ridge. 2 great reasons not to go to either of those matches, IMO. I know that's just my opinion, but I'm not going to spend money to shoot a match where I don't agree with the rules.
I'd love to go to NW MG, but it's a little far for me and my usual travel crew.
I think we're hitting some combo of TX, MW, RM, ProAm, Ozark, FB. We decided not to go back to Superstition this year. I haven't heard anybody from our group talk about going to the USPSA MG Nats. We have discussed going back to FNH, but have not made a decision yet.

jtischauser · Dec 11, 2012

Ugh! I don't want anything to do with 8 round shotgun tubes or Horner scoring.

Don't write off NW just yet. If they pair up in the same week with that crimson trace match you won't want to miss it.
