Greg Jordon places 3rd in 3GN shoot off

Greg fought his way to the semi-finals before losing to Barry Dueck (who earlier eliminated legends Jerry Miculek and Daniel Horner then lost in the finals to Keith Garcia).  Greg then beat Taran Butler to win $5000 as 3rd place.

I spoke to him just moments ago and although he is disappointed with 3rd, he understands that I, and by extension all of us at York, are proud of him for making it that far.  He says he shot consistently well and that it was the most pressure he's ever shot under.  He knows he didn't lose the match by any failure of his own but that Barry was on fire.  Greg also says he is more confident than ever that he can hang with any multi-gun shooter there is.  I know he's right.

How to join York Izaak Walton #67

We're always looking for new members, and if you're checking the pistol blog then you're exactly the kind of person we're looking for.  Joining the Izaak Walton has many advantages, and you probably already know about the ranges or you wouldn't be on this site, but we also have a lot of great things going for us.  If you want to learn more be sure to check our clubs website.  There is a link on the right sidebar.

Joining our club is simple.
- You have to attend one of our monthly orientations where we take you on a one hour tour and discuss the rules of the club and all of it's many features as well as answer your questions.
- We get you an application which we sign as sponsors at the orientation, and you can turn it in right there with your check if you like.
- We take it to the next board meeting which is generally the first Tuesday of the month where it is voted on.  Everyone passes.
- You can pick up your membership card at the next open meeting which is the third Tuesday of the  month, or you can have it mailed to you.

Once you're in all you have to do is enjoy the club, and pay your yearly dues.  Of course we will invite you to become more involved but it is not mandatory.  You'll get out of it what you put into it.

Our next orientation is Sunday, December 30th at 1:00pm.  If you attend and turn in your application then we'll have you in by January 17th.

I hope to see you there.  If you're already a member tell a friend.  The more the merrier.

Single Stack Poll Results

Based on poll results and feedback from the few real Single Stack shooters we have it is obvious that we will adopt a 10 round mag limit for all.  This is going to be easier to RO and the fact that it is the same for Production and L10 makes like simpler for all involved.  Now if they just started making 10 round revolvers....

Production poll results

I think the results of the poll are pretty clear.  Although a lot of people think that we should allow 15 round capacity, and a few "anything goes" the vast majority agree that we should closely follow USPSA Production equipment rules.

After monitoring the debate and comments I think the concensus is that we allow people who want to shoot USPSA Production type equipment have the Production division, and anyone who wants to shoot a production type gun with modifications and/or high capacity mags can shoot in Limited and be at no real disadvantage.

Limited, and Open equipment rules are already very close to USPSA so I think we should leave them the same, with no major and minor power factors.

Revolver should also remain tied to USPSA equipment rules as far as I am concerned.

Single Stack....Ah, that is interesting.  Hence the next poll.

USPSA Single stack is messed up in my opinion.  The one thing I heartily disagree with is that minor calibers may load 10 rounds in a mg while major may only load 8.  That's not going to work for us for sure because there is no major or minor in IMGA/Time Plus scoring.  So what do we do?

The four choices don't show up well in the poll.  They are:

- Allow only 8 rounds in any caliber
- Allow 10 rounds in any caliber
- Allow only eight in .45 but ten in 9mm or .40
- Allow only 8 in .40 or .45 but ten in 9mm

A little light reading while you consider the below poll

Production division poll

Note there is a poll just to the right of this column asking what we should do about Production division next year.  We are not going to be USPSA sanctioned next year so we will have to write in our own rules for pistol only divisions.

My first thought on Production is that we should closely follow USPSA rules so that if you do shoot USPSA matches it will be very similar with no equipment differences.  However, we do have the option of removing mag capacity restrictions or anything else we want to do.  So, I ask you, what do you think?

Please leave comments to this post as well.  Your opinions are important (as long as they're not anonymous)
