The Classifier match is open to anyone but only current IDPA members will receive a classification.

"The IDPA Classifier is a "standard test" used to classify shooters based on their current skills so that they can compete with other shooters at a similar skill level. Therefore, no cover garment is required when shooting the Classifier. In fact, to ensure that your score is valid for comparison against other shooters' scores, no cover garments are allowed. Because most IDPA matches comprise unique and original defensive scenarios, the Classifier is the only completely-standard IDPA match that can be used to classify shooters." (www.ccidpa.org)

Visit the MCTS web site for more information and directions to the range in Dickson, TN.

Will be trying for cdp master this go around. If my ESP gun gets back in time I may try that one as well.

Good luck with that Chandler. The way you have been shooting lately makes me believe you have a real chance to make one or both.

[HOGNUT]

I will be doing SSP, CDP, and ESP. Hope to shoot my first classifier with zero misses!

[Mechanic_X]

I'm going to do ESP and SSP here and then CDP later. I shot Marksman with my 1911 on my only third time to shoot a match. Not sure where I will fall in these two.

We need a warm-up stage. I always tank the first COF.

[ir0nreign10]

What class are you going for Mike? I got to be there for your zero misses. I'm gonna shoot my SSP and CDP I just gonna try it out again. Last time I done well in my SSP,but not to good in my CDP.

[HOGNUT]

All shooters are welcomed! Remember to receive classification on this match, you must be an IDPA member. You can join via the web via International Defensive Pistol Association or at the range.

[HOGNUT]

The Classifier is a great test of skill to determine where you are in your shooting or how you have improved. I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Greg volunteered to follow beside you fanning you like the queen of the Nile.

I am counting on my bullets being faster in the heat, and I have a new range bag. That should be good for at least a ten second improvment.

[BigK]

The 2nd match I ever shot was a classifier. I'm gonna kick myself if I don't do better 2nd time around.

[cslafrain]

Well my ESP gun is back and functional so it looks like I will try my hand at both. Look forward to seeing you guys there. Who knows maybe its time to become a 3-gun master ( not likely but I will give it a shot - no pun intended - anyway)

[Dave Shooter]

Chandler, if a yutz like me can make 4gun master you should have no problem.

[cslafrain]

No such thing as a yutz being a 4 gun master. It takes an amazing shooter especially for revolver. Look forward to meeting you at mcts sometime.

Correct it is the 5 gun master you are going for!!!!

Good luck with the lower score! I don't think the range bag will have anything to do with it. It always should be your goal to do better each time going to shoot whether it is your time, shots down/accuracy, reading reload spots, etc. Hopefully, everyone will go up in division this weekend.....as the way it should be. What's the point of staying at Novice, Mechanic......LOL. You only compete against kids.

Alas, I don't have a 625 otherwise I'd give it a shot this weekend.

i borrowed one, luckily it was a very well tuned gun, and easy to shoot and reload. the only time i even touched it was to put it on at the classifier.

I shot Marksman, Thank you. LOL!! I have 44 seconds to make up to move up in CDP. I am curious to see how I shoot. First classifier was the third time ever to shoot a competition. This will be the ninth. ESP and SSP this week. CDP next week. Edited June 29, 2011 by Mechanic_X

do not be afraid to stay marksman for a little while, and try to shoot a couple of major matches first. my first classifier i shot novice and i was very disapointed with myself. then pushed hard for marksman and then started shooting some major matches and then it took me a few years to be competive at marksman, even then at some clubs like Manchester it was and still is hard for me to be competive. and now it seems i am going backwards.

but just my 2 cents.

i (WE) know some grandparents (seniors) that may disagree about the "kids" even though they do try hard.
