Does this rule not apply or are there matches that just make up their own rules? 1.1.6 Concealment garments: Concealment garments are optional for PCC shooters. IDPA SOs frequently make up rules. The sport is notorious for it. Edited March 6, 2019 by elguapo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45 Raven Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I shoot IDPA competition regularly with two different clubs and occasionally with a third and fourth club. I have witnessed competitors who disagree with the rules or occasions when the rules are not fully understood. I absolutely DO NOT witness SO's or clubs that "frequently make up rules", nor is there any perceived notoriety of such action/behavior at the matches I attend.

Enforcing rules that aren't really rules whether made up, miss understood, or are just out of date all end up with the same out come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I in no way meant to imply that in my experience I was witness to, part of, or have even observed the "enforcement of rules that are not understood". My comment was intended to convey the fact that I have occasionally witnessed discussions and/or inquiries about IDPA rules. In my experience, those discussions result in clarification. That doesn't mean everyone in the discussion agrees with the rules. But I guess that applies to about everything from IDPA rules to speed limits, to HOA rules.

Why? I have Leo, Veterans (I'm both), ER MD's et al coming to my shoots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHAVEGAS Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 3 hours ago, elguapo said: Another opinion with no basis in fact IDPA stage design rules limit required movement to much less than you see on typical USPSA stages. That is a big deal for folks who do not get around well and/or do not respond well to a lot of exertion on hot days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
