Anyone planning any big matches this year? Where, what and when?

I am a USPSA newbie and will be shooting the Northern IL Sectional, the WI Sectional, and the Area 5 Championship match. If by some magical feat all the good shooters in my class stay home and I win my class at Area 5 I will get a slot at the National Championship. Not counted on and not hoped on, hard work and a good dose of luck is all that can get the Nationals slot out of Area matches so that is pretty much a pipe dream unless I sandbag my classifiers between now and then. Positutely and absotively I will not sandbag one single classifier, you all have my word on that.

So, what are your big matches this year? Please keep in mind that discipline, class, gun, sport, etc, none of that matter. I, repeat I, want to hear about the competition YOU are entering that YOU feel is an important match.


I might get a wild hair gone wrong and shoot IDPA enough to get classified, then shoot the state match since it is only 20 minutes from my house, but that is yet to be decided.

Anymatch anywhere as long as it is an important match to you, lets hear it!!
