New Revolver Class!! It's Official
We tried revolver class in 2007 as a side match and it was such a success we decided to make it a part of the competition. It is an open class, you can scope all three guns. On the long range event, you can shoot freestyle in all three phases and you don't have to shoot close to far in the 90 second ten shot stages. Weight and barrel length are the same as standard open gun requirements. Just more chances for more fun!
We've got Photos up. Check out the Galleries to the Right. Thanks to Pierre Munson for taking some great photos.
The Masters is an international shooting competition in its 22nd year. It consists of three events. The first is the Handgun Action Event. This event consists of three separate stages with five steel targets on each. The targets vary in size, shape, and distance. Each of the three stages are shot 3 times for a total of 45 targets. This event uses centerfire pistols that have a minimum caliber of .32 and a minimum USPSA powerfactor of 125. Both revolvers and pistol can be used.
The second event is the Handgun Long Range Event. This event consists of three stages with 5 steel plates on each stage set at different heights and different distances out to 200 meters. Each stage is shot from different positions (Standing, Freestyle and Standing & Freestyle). This event uses any pistol or revolver with a barrel length less than 15 inches. Ammunition must be no less than 6mm.
The third event is Handgun Precision Event. This event consists of 
.22 caliber rimfire pistol or revolvers against Olympic Biathlon style targets from 25 meters out to 50 meters. The targets are engaged in three stages with targets set at different distances.
All sponsorship contributions will go 100% to competitor prizes. Match production costs will be covered by competitor entry fees.
Competition classes are divided into Professional, Sportsmen, and the new Stock Class. Stock is for the sportsmen (amateur) shooter only with prizes the same as the regular Unlimited Class Masters competition. Stock Class means ordinary store-bought, factory-production, regular over-the-counter guns with tuned-up original-equipment parts only, no add ons or accessories. Optical sights can be used for only two Events in Stock Class. So if you like to play hard, shoot twice! Shoot high end Masters Open Class custom guns, and then shoot again with stock guns. Prizes for both categories.
