Airsoft IPSC

Is there anyone interested in a competition that is strictly about your hand gun accuracy?

Is there anyone confident in their handgun shooting skills to test them against others?

Is there anyone willing to compete for a trophy or bragging rights about being the best handgun wielder?

I ask because myself and a good friend of mine have been mulling this idea over for about a year. If there is enough interest, this kind of competition might actually find its way to San Diego.

Here are some examples or some Airsoft IPSC shoots:

We already have the course of fire designed, we just need to know if there is any interest in this kind of competition.

Overkill you know I'm in, but now I really have to finish my pistol... On a side note, you should see my hicapa collection :biggrin:

Yeah, right! I hear people talk about how good they are with a pistol, but rarely do I ever see it on the field. So I dare the San Diego airsoft community to step outside their comfort zone and try something truly competitive!

In fact, if you can get enough people to play...

I'LL COMPETE USING A SPRINGER!

And if I don't come in DEAD LAST I'll personally auction off one of my own custom pistols.

HOWEVER!

If I do somehow get a better score than someone else, I get to make fun of all of you for the rest of your lives!
:devil:

You cannot load your airsoft 28 round magazine to full capacity. You can only load the real world equivalent into the gun i.e. Beretta M9 15 rounds, Colt 1911A1 7 rounds.

Now, if people want to make the ground a little more even, we can follow the IPSC Limited-10 rule and allow 10 rounds per magazine.

In any case, this has not been determined yet, as the interest still has not proven itself enough to foot the cash for this kind of competition.

Regarding prizes, if we can get enough people signed up, MAYBE we can get it sponsored by some airsoft retailers or gear distributors.

And yes, the TM MEU I am working on for you will hold up just fine.

I have this timer & have done some 'friendly' competitons for fun. Everytime I break it out, everyone has a blast & a lot of fun.

Even old guys can play. These are some seriously fun matches. I'm in.

I've been informed by "The Management" that I will not be allowed to participate with a springer pistol.

:cuss:

However, if this event does happen, I will still auction off a custom pistol if I come in LAST PLACE. And just to let you know, I can't hit the side of a barn with a handgun!

Yet, you can build some very nice and accurate gas guns :hrm:

Reason · **Posted:** Wed Mar 10, 2010 11:21 am

^^^I just build them. I don't shoot them. :tongue:

BTW, just to let you all know I'm serious about competing, I've started making my custom race gun:

It will be compensated, weighted, accuratized, and completely modified for my style of shooting.

...Which is spraying the target area until I finally hit something. :laugh:

^^^

Actually, I was seriously contemplating using one of these for the competition:

Now I just need to find a speed loader large enough for the shells...

I'd be really interested in doing something like this. just out of curiosity will there be an entry fee?
Now only if somebody can convince my wife to let me buy that 10 inch Desert Eagle at aex to replace my 8 year old kjw usp. :thumbs:

Yes, there will be an entrance fee, but at this time, we are unsure of the price yet. The mroe people we get involved, the cheaper the price will be per entrant.

Update:

The only disqualifying factor now is an unprepared shooter.

If you fail to fire the course of fire, you will be given the longest shoot time of the course and 5 seconds will be added for YOUR time.

Reason, if we do not get the numbers to break down this event into divisions and are forced to group everyone together into a single tournament why not you and I build a custom gun for the first place winner?

In the event we do have separate divisions, I am already working on trophies and working to get prizes for each division.
