Highly recommend it, last years was a blast.
Good on Ya! Mrs R93 :thumbsup:
@R93
I just have to mention it appears your Missus got the same score as You ............. therefore if she can count better and fumble less, you may be the one who ends up reloading her rounds for her. :)
Cheers

I'll have to check my trip schedule but I think I am good for the IPSC in Dunners
Righto we will go. Be cheaper for me than crossing the strait.
We will take the cooks wheels.
Listening to your muffler for 8 hrs might get a bit much😆

It's getting fixed this week while I'm away, but yeah, the surf needs some work before it's comfy for a 7 hour road trip
Bullshit. If us Bogans can make the trip you have to stay.Quote:

Yes I have to sort my priorities out a bit - bloody work keeps on getting in the way of the important stuff!!
Depending on how I shoot between now and then, you might beable to score quite a bit of ammo and have a whole shadow for parts, but the booze will take a hammering if that happens, so no promises there. :)

He will be chained to the tow bar of a black suv when not shooting so it will be purely an honesty thing.😆

You won't miss us, we will be the 2 wide eyed fellas looking out of our depth.
Gotta cut your teeth somewhere other than the comfort of our own club I spose.
Looking forward to it. Have shot in hundreds of comps all over the world but this will be my first ever with a pistol outside the military so there is some genuine excitement and apprehension I used to get when new to comps.

What does LEVEL 3 practice mean?
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
IPSC levels
1 - Club
2 - Interclub
3 - National / Regional
4 - Continental
5 - Worlds
The big differences between the levels is RO quality. Level 2 you typically have floating RO, level 3 dedicated (with some IROA), level 4 and 5 you have lots of IROA guys.
Its kinda relative to where you shoot as well. In RSA, provincial shoot was the same size as NZ National... Western Province champs used to be 80-100 competitors, Nationals well over 200. in the states a club shoot would be 200...
Cheers for that. Thought it was a prerequisite or something.

I see when doing my entry for the Dunedin shoot the Nats, are on the following month in Wanganui.
Another road trip😆
Who wants to take us hunting fallow if we come up early😆

Some tips for your first major comp :
Concentrate on grip and sight picture (repeat N times) !
Ignore speed for now, build a solid base first and then speed up only enough to not start hurting your scores
Keep negative scoring shots (mike, no-shoot, procedurals to below 2% of total shots fired)
Keep positive scoring shots (A, C, D) between 85-90% of total shots fired
Expect plateaus in your progress. If you start going downhill, return to the fundamentals and go back to the point where you last had decent metrics.
When I first started with the club I was given the same advice.
I am resigned to the fact I will never be that fast so never a threat of winning anything.
I am only going to improve and compete against my self.
My fast is everyone else's deliberate shooting. 😆
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
haha, that's the beauty of multiple grades, you compete at your level...
don't watch any videos by @Banana, he is a fukn speed demon :D
Looking forward to meeting you all also what classes is everyone in? I'll be in Standard, last year's SI event was my first level 3 comp and I loved it the Dunedin guys are very accommodating even for the first timers. We should all meet at some stage for faces to names

Looking forward to meeting a few members as well. I will shoot production with gimp in Dunners.
Might shoot standard at the Nats as I am enjoying my .40 big time.
Will see how I go before I make a decision.
When doing my entry I could only choose one otherwise I would have shot production and standard.
New to this at island level so still learning.
I will bring my .40 just in case😆

I shot my first level 3 at the north islands. Had a great time. Even got a medal in rookie div!

I plan to go well at the after match😆
Will bring a bottle or 2 of fine whiskey

Shit i'm getting tempted to try come down, our club has booked a house and have a few car loads going but just need to find the time
I nearly brought that very gun. Is the other one still there?Quote:

EBF's distinction between the differing levels in kind of accurate in practice, though shoots like the double tap at APC are often lvl3 it is just a matter of meeting the sanctioning requirements. The real differences are technical and mostly administrative. Lvl 3 events have to be sanctioned by the organisation over in Canada so draft stages are sent over there for vetting etc, also things like presidents medals are awarded. There is a tendency though by no means a rule that no shoots are limited to a certain percentage purely for keeping the flow throw stages quick. You have hundreds of people and a stage becomes a choke point things get slow. Really the things that will impact you are as mentioned the static ROs to give consistency, possibility of a chronograph, and because level 3s are administered by NROI/IROA ROs expect things to be run (more) properly.
My advice which no doubt you've already been told tends to be more about the admin. than the shooting. Check the hits on targets or get a proxy to do it (of course keeping more than a meter from the target), check your scores add up and time is correct before signing your score sheet, strangely enough I have to say this but read the rules (and have a copy with you) ROs are not infallible and you can challenge some rulings ((again read rules as to process) I've personally never done it but I should have, I didn't realise the RO had made the wrong call at the time because I didn't know the rules). Again another silly thing that you'd assume people do but they don't make sure your equipment complies with the divisional rules; a number of people shoot at clubs with casual application of the rules then rock up to a lvl3 shoot and get a hell of a shock (after market non OEM mag release on production pistol...welcome to open division).
Yeah have to watch the small things at the higher level, mag pouches and holster behind the hips, empty partially empty mags after shooting and recounting rounds in.
A guy from our club accidentally loaded 16 rounds on a 15 shot stage and got pulled up having 1 left in the chamber, welcome to open
Cheers for the good advice.
I shoot my shadow as it arrived. Rig is setup correctly so hoping not to have any issues in that regard.
My Para as I recently found out has a grip not allowed in standard.
I will have to source another somewhere.
Most of club members are CAS ers.
Only a handful shoot action or ipsc.
And only a couple have attended a big shoot.
I will find someone in Dunners that been around and fill them with whiskey so we can learn all the tips and tricks.
My first clay target zone/nationals was intimidating enough😆
Can't learn anything if you don't attend.
I will watch with interest how other squads run because I doubt we do everything as per the book (apart from safety)at our club.

I'm curious how the grip isn't legal on a standard gun, not fit in the box?Quote:
