I THINK there needed to be at least 6 shooters in your class/division? Looking at the scores, there were 5.I never got one from 2019. At least I think I should have one for 2nd ESP
I could be wrong

Major USPSA Matches (Level II and III) - USPSA.ORGAnyone know when area 7 is?
I would say yes because you’ll need to be classified which cannot be done if you’re not a memberI’m pretty new to all this. Thanks.
Do you need a uspsa # to shoot in area 7?
You need to be a member, but don't have to be classified. That's an IDPA thing. I shot my first A7 at Harvard unclassified. The hard part is to get registered before it fills or we crash practiscore.I would say yes because you’ll need to be classified which cannot be done if you’re not a member
Good to know. I knew you had to be a member but wasn’t sure about classificationYou need to be a member, but don't have to be classified. That's an IDPA thing. I shot my first A7 at Harvard unclassified. The hard part is to get registered before it fills or we crash practiscore.

I never received an email for my award. Hmm...
I believe so. Paging @ddraperSo if I wanted to participate in the MA state IDPA match, do I need to be classified first?

ETA: I know I will be severely overmatched, but I love shooting IDPA and I LOVE competition, I don’t mind getting my ass kicked, I just really enjoy competing in anything (ask my 10 year old, I never let him win any time we play anything lol).
Dude get classified and register for the match! Don't worry about "winning". It's fun to shoot more complicated stages.ETA: I know I will be severely overmatched, but I love shooting IDPA and I LOVE competition, I don’t mind getting my ass kicked, I just really enjoy competing in anything (ask my 10 year old, I never let him win any time we play anything lol).
Yes. You must be an active member of IDPA and be classified. You have plenty of time to get classified and get some practice.

Hi Dave - if we got a match bump last fall do we still need to get a fresh qualifier this year or does a bump cover the annual qual?
So if I wanted to shoot the ma match I would need to do a qualifier within 365 days and the bump won’t count? Thanks!Match bump has nothing to do with a classifier. A match bump will move you up a classification, like from Marksman to Sharpshooter, Sharpshooter to Expert etc.
Shooting a tiered match will extend your classification date by 1 year. By last fall I assume you mean LFOD. So if you shot LFOD it will extend the classification date for whatever division you shot by 1 year. This should be reflected in your shooter profile on IDPA website.
So how do I check. I upload a list of all the IDPA membership numbers shooting the match. I then download the response file which has the expiration date of your member ship and the date of your classification for each division. This is used to verify your membership and classification status. If you disagree with my determination then it is between you and IDPA unless I made a mistake. I can't change the data. I use what IDPA tells me.
So if I wanted to shoot the ma match I would need to do a qualifier within 365 days and the bump won’t count? Thanks!
Doesn’t look they mention anything about a classifier. I’m sure upcoming matches at Woburn or Harvard will have a classifier before MA States rolls around.Looking on practiscore I see there is a match this weekend at OCSA in Pembroke, which unfortunately I can’t make. There is an intro to IDPA course next weekend at the same location, does anyone know if they do a qualifier at the class?
I’m just glad you don’t go backwards if you blow a classifier!
I used to do that. I corrected it by more finger on the trigger, right into the first knuckle. Works like a charmYeah I hate weak hand shooting. I have to use Kentucky windage and aim ~6 inches to the left of the down zero, as I somehow pull them….
My plaques arrived today for what that's worth. VERY well made.Did anyone shoot the live free or die match last fall. Did anyone get their plaque yet or are we supposed to pickup in person? Asking for a friend.

You could be right. I'll have to try that out. Thanks!That might be a dominant eye issue.
If you're typical, you're right handed and right eye dominant. When you swap pistol to the left hand, if you keep your left foot forward, you may be using your left eye more than usual. The fix for that may be to put your right foot forward.
Note "typical" and "may" in above statements, YMMV.
Lmao. 2 world wars…They don't give these away to just anybody. You have to be an old fart with mediocre ability shooting an expensive tempermental gun that nobody else likes.View attachment 581822.
what a modest guy no sand bagging here lolI was pleasantly surprised to see I got 2. Not bragging but in all honesty I thought being a division champ would be enough and imply I don’t need a 1st place trophy in my division as well?
That’s how they did NER but that’s a different crew/club running it so.
I know plenty of sandbaggers but I am not one of them lol.what a modest guy no sand bagging here lol
