Well, well, a member of my little gun club in Bullion won the French National Revolver competition. Congratulations Pascal!

Bravo, Pascal!

They could finally get 10 shooters in Revolver Class to have a separate match ranking.

Wink, what does the revolver class match consist of?
Peter.

Peter, I'm afraid I have no idea. Edmond may know what the course was this year, if it's always the same that is. I'm in Nigeria now but when I get back I'll ask Pascal. It was an IPSC style course with 18 stands. Here's a link in French:

A national match consists of minimum 18 stages in the course of fire.
in IPSC, match programs must be submitted to prior approval of the IPSC because the rule is that a stage can't exist twice.
Needs a lot of brainstorming to find a new course every time.

A class exists when there are minimum 10 shooters to justify a separate ranking.

Pour la première fois en France dans l’histoire du TSV, les tireurs « au revolver » répondant aux critères de la Fédération Internationale (IPSC), quant au nombre de participants, ont pu être classés.

quote:

For the first time in France in IPSC shooting, there was enough revolver shooters for a revolver class to exist

For years, I competed against shooters using high capacity pistols because there was never more than 6 to 8 shooters in competition.
But I must say, I felt really good when there were 60 something shooters using pistols behind me in overall ranking.
