Sees Sights Lift

Sees Sights Lift (7/11)

  1. Hi Mike, Hi Barry, I hope you guys are enjoying your weather.
  2. I became interested in CO when it went to 141.25 mags, simply because it placed capacity between Production and Open. I liked the different challenges that offered to stage planning. Now that (IMO unfortunately) Production is at 15, bringing CO to that same number once again would crunch the two together again. Oh, well. As to LO at Major, I wonder how the slide mounted dot longevity might suffer. But that would be a choice to make.
  3. IMO, it’s no different than the rule which allows you to sweep yourself (lower extremities) while drawing or holstering. Without those exceptions we would be shooting bullseye.
  4. We are on the horns of a quandary. The “intent” (did I just say that?) of 10.5.6 is during MR. Unfortunately, it does not say that. In today’s environment, single words seem to matter more than they did when that rule was written. Long before my time. It could use a tweak to avoid match “discussions “.
  5. The OP did not mention a loaded firearm.
  6. “…..whether the firearm is loaded or not…..
  7. “If at any time during the course of fire…..” The COF is not finished until Range is Clear. Additional discussion unnecessary.
  8. The CRO seminar is more relevant to USPSA. The variety of USPSA stage designs offer more challenges to the CRO than they do in SCSA. Having said that, and as Shred mentions, many of the skills we teach will be useful to a SCSA CRO.
  9. The thread drift to popper calibration is irrelevant to the original subject of plates. The rules used to specify factory ammo for calibration which worked against the shooter during a challenge since that would result in 130+ PF in most guns. The rules were changed to allow reloads and the calibration gun/ammo PF was lowered to 115-125. As to plates - the problem is the number of reshoots which result due to all the issues mentioned earlier. But unmentioned is another common problem: incorrect/inconsistent officiating. ROs not seeing or ignoring malfunctions. That is very problematic at a major match. We teach the rules, but we can't teach experience. Sometimes, it's best to avoid the problems altogether for the greater good of the match.
  10. What's the first indication a shooter has that hearing protection is missing? A very loud BEEP!
  11. I see no sense in a new "A fudgecicle nobody but a few crayon chewers and winder likkers" division unless it is split into New Age Optics and Ludite Irons.
  12. View A range of sight or vision specific to an array of targets. In order to constitute a new "view" under this rule, the range of sight of an array of targets must be broken by a vision barrier of some sort, such that a different array of targets is seen in the new view.
  13. What was the size of the shooting box?
  14. Moving between boxes, trying to switch gun hand and prop hand, and maybe having to reload? Bad idea!
