NickBlasta Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Air gunning a pop tart would get you killed in a real gun fight. Unless they were bad shots and very hungry.... That's why you carry a drop pop tart, also known as a droptart, so you can toss it at them and run away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGREID Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 IDPA guys seem to want to add those rules to USPSA, can't say why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're afraid you'll shoot them with it and then drop it and run away, so you can't be prosecuted. A kind of "throw-away" droptart.

Txpastorbob Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 So...a penalty if I point my finger at the target and say "pew pew?" but not if I just walk through with my hands gripped together? I have used a magazine before...but never a banana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, well it wasn't the Club that brought the question/post I posed to light. It was an RO that was trying to help some of us less experienced shooters the "possibility" of a vague rule infraction in Higher Tier matches.. The rule wasn't enforced. The banana and doughnut was tongue and cheek.....although it did happen that a shooter on my squad did have a banana and I did have the doughnut when the subject came up.. Both of us were using them while airgunning. Aaaaaaand both snacks kindly brought to that match and other local matches by a Forum Member here. BTW, Thank You A.C. for bringing those treats...... Please no pop tarts. I gotta stay out of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x45 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Sugar is not good for shooters, makes them too edgy. And it interferes with looking up a rule, and USPSA has a rule to cover anything and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justpaul Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Don't you remember the famous shooter who got dinged for holding a towel in his hands at IPSC Nationals or somewhere similar. It was all over these forums with pics etc. IPSC don't allow nothing in the hands:8.7.2 Competitors are prohibited from using any sighting aid (e.g. the whole or part of an imitation or replica firearm, any part of a real firearm including any accessories thereof etc.), except for their own hands, while conducting their inspection ("walkthrough") of a course of fire. Violations will incur one procedural penalty per occurrence (also see Rule 10.5.1).Blake Miguez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teros135 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Wrong. 8.7.2 says no guns or gun replucas during walk-through. Nothing said about anything else in your hand. Ask the USPSA RO (or MD, or whoever) to show you the rule that supports their assertion. Can't find one. (There is for IPSC, though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time ask the RO to quote the rule. Oh hell, just show him this: 8.7.2 Competitors are prohibited from using any guns or gun replicas as sighting aids while conducting their inspection (“walkthrough”) of a course of fire.

David.Hylton Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I've had two people tell me the same thing when walking a stage with a CED paster gun in my hand. If I remember correctly, the USPSA rule used to be like the IDPA rule. Some old timers seem to revert to the old rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkreutz Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Maybe DRNOI needs to make a ruling that a CED paster gun is not a gun replica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebj06 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 So question. Why about air gunning at the load and make ready command? I've seen it a few times. Is that allowed? Obviously not walking through the stage but standing at the start point air gunning the first few targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
