ChuckS Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 The end looks fine but I am confused about the start: "Standing outside shooting area with fingers touching both set of X’s." There seems to be only one set of X's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosher Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 You could even add two more targets in the back, have 12 shots available from each location, not require more than 8, and still be legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, guys. I've always heard the term "shooting position" or just "position." I haven't gotten deep enough into the rule book to realize that the terms "location" and "view" were used, much less defined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerba Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 ok - i think it works now... in reply to Sarge's comment...if in your example, i stand to the left of the window, i can only see 3 targets...i shoot them and move to the right where i can see the other two...so that is legal by your reasoning that by moving two steps, makes the stage legal... I don't think the way you shoot a position makes a position legal or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racerba Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Mosher - depends on how wide the stage is and how far you have to move...if all i have to do is lean left and right to shoot the two targets, then no - it will still be illegal...looking at the distance you have to move laterally in the OP's stage, i would consider it an illegal stage...but that is MHO...I would say that this is one of those that are borderline and can go either way...like what is a catch in the NFL nowadays...

DocMedic Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Here's is the thing "must not require". I'm not requiring the shooter to go to the very front fault line to shoot all the shots that are available there. From the very moment that the shooter turns the corner of the hallway the first open METRIC is seen and then the plate rack shows as seen another few degrees, HOWEVER you cannot see the 45* degree laydown Metrics until you got to the Forward fault line, therefore the stage is Legal.

I'm not saying your argument isn't valid...however...IMHO...it is no more than a step to be able to see the 45* targets...so - IMHO - it's still the same location/view...i consider the entrance to the front area (as you say - turn the corner) and the whole front area as one location/view because it's no more than a step to get from one side to the other...again - just MHO... in the opening post, you ask why this stage was/would be illegal...we gave you the reason as to why it would be illegal...whether it is or it isn't hasn't been identified...maybe an email to NROI will help with your explanation of how it would be legal. I would say that any design that can be closely contested as being legal or not should be fixed so there are no questions to the legality of the stage. No point in having a stage to be thrown out of a match because of it being ruled illegal. All it is is a matter of moving two targets to make sure the stage is legal.

I hope this all a friendly debate! but i thInk you are using location too loosely. According to the rules if you can change the location of your feet you have changed location even if it's a step. My opinion is location is not a place on the COF as much as it is the spot where the shooter is standing on the COF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with the fact that if you change your feet, no matter how small the movement is, it's a change of location...our 5 targets array from a window is a prime example of how that does not work... Stage design does not take into account of where the shooter places their feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Legal. Pause the video when the open shooter comes around the corner and you can only see the plate rack and 1 pacer target, hence 1 view, he then takes a step or two and the targets behind the barrel become visible, that would be another location and view, looks VERY legal to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 It's kind of an annoying stage from the SS or Revo point of view but probably legal. What confuses me is the start: " Standing outside shooting area with fingers touching both set of X’s. " I only see one set of X's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMedic Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) So Here's my question regarding the 5 targets one window. IF you started the shooter 5 feet back facing the window. he can only see 3 targets through the window at the start but can see all 5 through the window when he moves up after the start, is it still illegal?

I would call it legal, as long as there is another target that he cannot shoot through the window, as all targets cant be shot from 1 position, (assuming a field course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Assuming it's 10 shots, even though you use 2 locations in the example, it's still one view. If you see the same 5 targets from 3 positions its still just one view.
