SAPSA Level 4 African Handgun Champs
Did anyone else from here compete in the level 4 match in Stilfontein?
I was disappointed that the US competitors like KC Eusebio had to pull out after it was rescheduled, but the stages were challenging, fun and well presented. 24 stages in three days of rain and intense heat is a challenge enough and well done to all who finished.
The match ran efficiently except for the resets due to wind (unavoidable) and ESS (required by IPSC for a level 4 or above match and..TIA).
An excellent performance by all the RO's. Thanks guys and girls.
I had to pull some late nights in order to be at the match , with very little prep or sleep. It was worth it

Sounds like it was a good one!
For a moment my brain linked KC Eusebio to Eusebius McKaiser and I had a major WTF moment.Sent electronically, thus not signed.

The fact that Garret-John Evans won Standard with a Glock 17 (Minor) is insane!!

Re: SAPSA Level 4 African Handgun Champs
Nope, I don't think it's insane.
For the top competitors it's more time than score that makes the difference. If you actually look at the number of As (or the %score)they shooting it's always been very little Cs and Ds don't happen.
Minor can be shot faster than Major. More importantly you can have more ammo in the gun and actually run a Standard plan compared to running a Production plan
Think about it, 32rd stages can be shot comfortably with 2mags. 16rd stage could now be done without a 'safety' mag change.
A class/top shooters minor makes sense as you don't really need the scoring advantage.
CZ launched the TS2 specifically built for standard in 9mm only for now.
Reminds Me I Have a G34 for sale that might be more attractive now....
Fwiw I shoot my shadow in standard.

Re: SAPSA Level 4 African Handgun Champs
Awesome match and a lovely venue. It was my first time in Stilfontein. The ricochets were a bit rough though.

Re: SAPSA Level 4 African Handgun Champs
We spoke about it a while ago and at that time he scored better with his G35 in major than G17 in minor most of the time.
He may be more used to the G17 now though as he has been training with it for a while with this goal in mind.
I'll ask why he chose the G17 rather than a minor load in his G35 or a nice G34 gen 5.
His movement and precision is spot on, split times with the gun / loads doesn't seem to contribute much difference
Grant shot a very pretty Beretta 92x , a gun we should be seeing a few more of around soon
