Sees Target (5/11)

  1. A good stage could do both.. if you are a good shot, you could avoid a run by a LONG range shot, but if physical you could run it.. make it a good challenge to figure it out one way or the other… but it a fine line.
  2. laws in the south.. SC — DUI levels is the law.. this changes for people based on drivers license. Commercial class a/b versus C license NC — Detectable alcohol is the law.. GA — this is unique — they have a discharge law.. as in no law I could find that mentioned drinking while carrying… only if you discharge and are over .08.. but anyway..
  3. I’m sorry. But your post literally just says to go to the car and HANDLE a loaded weapon… That is ABSOLUTELY the wrong way to have common sense… handling a firearm at the car is a DQ, with the exceptions written in for a PCC. the rules are very clear.. go to an RO, tell them.. and then they will clear it per the rules… and all is well.. been there done that.. please tell me how what you reccomend is common sense, or even a better idea of safer than clearing under the supervision of an RO? And how sending him/her to a car to handle and unload is not a DQ in and of itself?
  4. Personally, I think the ROs on that stage failed the shooter. he came and asked… and at that point, he should have been taken directly to a safe area or down range… ULSC… and then all done…no DQ that’s how I would have handled it.. and that is how it would have been handled at most matches….
  5. If someone shows up with a loaded firearm… they either use an unloading station, or goes directly to a match official… this is covered in 2.5.1 and 2.5.2…
  6. If it was a full diameter hit you are correct.. if it a graze.. the score counts.. but if. You can’t tell which one is the full diameter and should be a Mike.. it is a reshoot … and if it were to hit steel— it is a reshoot..
  7. It’s mostly common sense.. but a few things that have been not so common.. 1. put the table and fault lines so someone can’t stand outside of the fault lines and use the table as a loading bench for mags.. some have done that and they are “outside” of the safety area.. so it’s ok.. and that’s a drama and rules grey area that people don’t need.. 2. situate the safe area so that it won’t interfere with a stage and define it well. USPSA rules will help with this. 3. build it so it is 3 sides and people can’t walk up and have muzzles pointed at them.. 4. Some ranges build it with railroad ties and make it a U shaped box.. so muzzles can’t be seen outside of the safe area.. others use dirt berms.. all good ideas..
  8. Agreed.. if a local was that big, I’d be doing something else that day.. I dislike the 13-14 shooter squads in the summer too..
  9. It’s a little early in the year for matches.. many clubs in north have not even started to hold match… if you’re only looking at matches from A2, 4,6 and some of 8 you will not see all of the US…
  10. Wow… shooting thru a barrel that close is not good.. and since it is a double.. it is likely over 5’9” making it to infinity… so that’s another issue.. and with stories of bullets coming BACK at the shooter in the last couple years… I would not have tried that..
  11. It wasn’t a. Activating target… just a popper….
  12. It says AT a target… so to your point.. FTSA… can’t shoot, or engage a target thru hard cover… if it goes thru hard cover you just proved the point of why you should get an FTSA…
  13. If it went into the hard cover… then it was blocked.. if it was blocked, then engage definition includes 1 shot on target and specifically mentions thru hardcover… so therefore IMHO, the FTSA is tied to not being able to engage… FTSA— now the DQ— I would agree that purposefully shooting thru a prop to gain an advantage— as defined by Wikipedia… Cheating generally describes various actions designed to subvert rules in order to obtain unfair advantages. you specifically mentioned you did this to save time or rather to gain a scoring advantage….
  14. You can’t engage it if you can’t see it.. says that in the definition of engaging….
  15. And that is supported by the definition of engaging per A3…
