Sorry you couldn't make it, Gary.

We classified over 30 shooters at PSC on Sunday.
I enjoyed being part of it.

The classifier is an excellent tool to identify the soft spots in your training.
To me that is the greatest value.

Draws, reloads, shooting on the move, distance shots, and controlled pairs, are
only a few of my soft spots.

It was a great day to be at the range.

Believe me I thought of you all and it was a good day. Glad you enjoyed. I have some soft spots too but right now mostly mental concentration due to family needs. But I will be at one of the next ones. Really glad it had a good turn out. Thanks for thinking of me.

Yes, I have read them as well. Right now I have had to withdraw from this weekend classifier at the PSC due to family member health issues. Plus I am not mentally in tune for shooting well as it showed last Monday nite for me. Everyone else have a great time Sunday and I hope to make one soon.

thanks and these are all the answers I have heard and agree with. I do like the position that it gives me a personal goal to benchmark myself. Yes, I have shot several IDPA matches now as unclassified. I do compare my scores to the same division, for me ESP, and see how I compared to the different classifications. So I was partly interested in the classification to get a better controlled level of comparison. I know some of the scenarios this past Sat. at the PSC will be posted against others in the nation but you can only be compared I understand if you are classified. As for regional matches etc, I would like to try one so there too I need it. I like competition and this is a good one for my interests. Assuming all goes well, I am looking forward to the classifier. Puts some nerves into the mix and that is good. Thanks again.

I have been shooting IDPA as unclassified for the past year. I do enjoy it greatly. Classifiers are somewhat far and few in between but one is available next weekend. I immediately signed up because I suspect it will fill up quickly. However, I wish to know the value of being classified versus continuing as unclassified as I am now. I understand to shoot I believe state and national tournaments you have to be classified. The normal monthly PSC IDPA matches does not matter. Are there other reasons to be classified or stay unclassified? Many of you I shoot with Monday nights etc, so looking for your thoughts too please. Also, I suspect I need to understand the classifier scenarios, so what should I practice this week? BTW, had a great time again yesterday at the PSC IDPA. Thanks to all.
