Of class, foreign shooters, and USPSA Nationals

Wakal Sep 21 2004, 05:48 PM Sandbagging has always been an annoyance, but it seems that foreign competitors at the USPSA Nationals have increased this to an art form. All kudos to Eric and Mike, showing up with a GM (or U, as Mike did) card, kicking ass and taking names, but look down the list a bit. Notice particularly the C-Class Open shooters. In 2003, C-Open was won by a foreign national at 74 overall (the number two C-Open was back at 154 overall). Said FN hadn't shot a classifier since 6/23/2001. He would have taken second in B (at 13 match points back from the top "B").
