Honestly, the biggest announcement out of this year’s Nationals isn’t the winner’s list, it’s fairly predictable throughout. Congratulations to everyone who shot this year’s match and of course to the winners of their classes and divisions. However, the big news at Nationals this year was the creation of IDPA’s new Distinguished Master Class. This class is reserved for people who are division champion (DC) at either of the two national championship matches and people who shoot within 3% of the DC at one of those two matches. IDPA inducted the following shooters into the new DM class based on their performance over the past 5 years:
Custom Defensive Pistol:
- Bob Vogel
- Dave Sevigny
- David Olhasso
- Eric Fusion
- Glenn Shelby
- Greg Martin
- Matt Mink
- Tom Yost
Enhanced Service Pistol:
- Bob Vogel
- Donnie Burton
- Matt Mink
- Rob Leatham
- Taran Butler
- Todd Jarrett
Stock Service Pistol:
- Bob Vogel
- Dan Burwell
- Dave Sevigny
- Ernest Langdon
- Gordon Carrell
- Phil Strader
Enhanced Service Revolver:
- Jerry Miculek (it’s lonely at the top)
Stock Service Revolver:
- Craig Buckland
- Curt Nichols
- Josh Lentz
Congratulations to all the new DMs! The new DM class will only be competing for Division Champion – there is no second place trophy for the DMs. It actually makes sense when you look at the group of shooters; they’re all primarily USPSA guys who only care about one thing at an IDPA match, and that’s “winning”. I think the DM class is a big step in the right direction for IDPA, and I applaud their decision to implement it.
