Hi Sparks,

The results of an IPSA shoot are e-mailed only to the competitors and officials attending each match, for security reasons etc I believe. During the match they are posted on the notice board but are usually taken down as the range is being cleared and cleaned. :cool:

Sparks

Can't say as I agree with that policy VB. Even first initial and last name was acceptable up North in the bad old days...

V Bull

Yeh true enough, but I believe someone complained or something in the early days so they decided not to make the scores public. Something like "I don't want everyone knowin' that I have a handgun and stuff, take my name and details off that list now"

I'm a member of the IPSA and have shot at many of they're shoots, great fun, and as a shooter I have no problem with their policy of shooters and officials only receiving the scores.

Different folks, different strokes etc. We all have our own ways of doing things.

The scores are posted on the notice boards during the match, come on down some day and see what you think.

Just had a taught............may be it's a way of getting more spectators.........:cool:

Like I said, even in the bad old days up north, your first initial and last name and score went up, and noone had a problem with it and it never comprimised anyone's personal security.
Sending results in the post to people with firearms licences, however, was not so well appreciated by those in some of the more contentious areas.

I can accept that - I just think it's a daft idea that does them harm.

Nope, it just keeps the competitions a closed room to the rest of us.
And the irony of people being happy to be personally seen on a range with a firearm, but not happy to have their name and score up on a sports board or website... well, it's rather funny in a way I suppose

V Bull

Not going to get into a silly never ending argument with you Sparks but I did say they e-mailed the results etc, not by post, please read post properly.......

Sparks

Er, VBull, you do realise email's about as secure as a postcard left blu-tacked to the outside of a postbox, right?

Mark.
The reason I did not post the results here was as V Bull stated we had a number of competitors from both the NITSA club in Newry and also the Kells Club both in NI , in this instance a number of competitors from NI asked not to be mentioned in the results . Normally I will post the results of approved matches on this forum . No offence or slight was intended . On a more positive note we have submitted a extensive article to Irish Shooters Digest for the March Issue , detailing the work of the IPSA and outlining what we have planned for 2008 .

No offence or slight was intended .

None was taken John, I just hold views on publicising events that seem to be at odds with some of our more conservative community members

I fully agree , we are wont to hide our various lights under various and many differant types of bushells , this year we will be taking a more proactive approach to our (IPSA ) PR .

Folks,

What could be suggested to shooters at future matches is to post results with their IPSC Alias.

I agree with the principal of not showing any part of my name in a public forum in relation to the ownership of specific firearms etc. An all around not good idea - Sparks - I believe you fell foul of such loose tongues in the past.

However, everyone has an immutable IPSC alias, which they setup upon joining - behold FRJACK - I would assume for this very reason - I for one would be happy to have scores made public under those aliases. Those that know will know and those that don't can see how we progress. (Honestly - I have progressed )

It is always good for people who are not partaking of a sport directly to have some sense of the frequency of events and the scale of the attendance in order to tickle their fancy and get them to come and have a look.

Obviously you need everyone to agree or you cannot show anything.

My tuppence worth.

Nope, never have.
