19 USPSA Classifier Stages Are Getting The Axe

A few days ago I came across a Facebook Status Update from Matt OlinchakOpens in a new tab.. Matt was passing on the word that several USPSA Classifier Stages were culled from the lineup. While the Status Update looked official enough, I wasn’t sure if changes were proposed or if they would take affect immediately.

Steven Thomas posted the very same update on the Area 8 USPSA Facebook GroupOpens in a new tab. a couple of days ago and cemented to news. I’ve since seen an update from Joe Roberts (Match Director at Ontelaunee USPSAOpens in a new tab.) that this change is going to throw a wrench into his plans for the very first Special Classifier Match at Ontelaunee, later this month.

I’ve gone ahead and attached the affected USPSA Classifier Stages below. Take a minute to look over them and share your thoughts in the comments section below. Does this make an impact in the grand scheme of things or are these Classifier Stages used too infrequently to matter?

Walt

My name is Walt White and I've been riding motorcycles on and off since my early twenties. After more than a decade away from the sport, I came back - and I've been making up for lost time ever since. Based in Southeast Pennsylvania, I write and create videos about real motorcycle ownership: the bikes I ride, the gear I test, the roads I explore, and the community I've found along the way. I ride a 2022 Yamaha MT-09 SP and a 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 400, and I try to give you the honest take you'd get from a friend rather than a press release. I'm also a husband, dad to three girls, and a pitbull owner - which keeps life interesting off the bike too.

  1. I’ve shot a bunch of those. Why in the world would they get rid of 13-02 – they just added that one.

  2. OK, according to http://ingunowners.com/forums/shooting-sports/332329-eliminating-19-classifiers.html it’s a byproduct of revolver changes. That’s stupid – there were a bunch of good classifiers in there.
