Wow, I know this is an old thread! Does anybody know who makes the trap that completely covers the shoot target but drops down a few inches before opening so the head is exposed when it closes?

8.1
Firearm Ready Conditions
The ready condition for firearms will normally be as stated below.
However, in the
event that a competitor fails to load the chamber when permitted by the
Written Stage
Briefing
, whether inadvertently or
intentionally, the Range Officer must not take any
action, as the competitor is always responsible for the handling
I make it a habit to never load the same bullets in minor and MAJOR loads. My 9MAJOR loads are JHP’s only and minor are RN, coated, plated, whatever. I also keep them in different color ammo boxes
If I ever get involved in an indoor range I will be trying something like this, cut in strips and taped to furring strips

I would actually think it would be common to cross over to 644b. I know we are straying away from the actual thread but there was a guy around here who trash talked a particular club about their 3 gun match. Found out they were a pretty tight knit community and eventually 2-3 other clubs banned him. For just the one trash talking incident! LOL I know it's not USPSA but it might just as easily have been.
Our club uses the analogy, We can't bar you from a match but we can bar you from club property for any number of reasons. Can't shoot a match if you can't get on the property. 6.4.4 6.4.5 don't apply because it's out of the MD's hands.
