    Gun powder? Gas hot water heater? Pilot flame? Boom!

    You may need to review that MSDS again or figure out how gun powder works. Gun powder is flammable but it does not give of vapors which would be the concern for having a pilot light or other open flame nearby.

    Dillon 650 - Shellplate alignment

    in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment

    Posted

    Guess the "free tool" ain't so free after all! That sucks big time. Now that I think about it, I has ordered some items and Dillon was going to ship them for free as I was having warranty issues. Well, I ordered a small piece "I forgot what it was" cost no more than $4-5. Thinking they would throw it in the same box as my other items, they didn't and charged me like $9. To ship it.

    Next time just tell them to "Will Call" your order and drive over to Tempe and pick it up.

    IDPA legal production guns - New Rules

    in IDPA Rules

    Posted

    Let me word this another way....does anyone know, off the top of their head, what guns wouldn't be SSP legal before, but now are.

    I can think of one, the CZ SP01 shadow (completely) stock did not make weight before, but does now.

    Springfield XDs (any striker fired action is now legal in SSP)

    online SO test.

    Has anyone had their recertification results posted to their online IDPA account yet?

    Jim

    I believe they will update everyone's status October 1. Currently everyone re-certified or not is listed as an SO because they are a valid SO (under the old rule book) for matches up until Sept 30, 2013.

    Anyone playing by the new rules yet, and your thoughts so far?

    in IDPA Shooting

    Posted

    Realistically the biggest change I've seen from the new rules is the amount of SO's that have said they will not recertify because of the inclusion that SO's are responsible for safety. A lot do not want to put themselves at risk for liability. The risk was there before, but this just put the bullseye right on the back of the SO's.

    So you mean when someone is certified as a Safety Officer that does not mean they are just a "Match Observer" and the word Safety actually implies something... hmmm.... [sarcasm]

    Prize Table Policy - Should there be Guidelines

    in USPSA/IPSC Rules

    Posted

    Should the prize table policy of a given match be a surprise to the competitors when they show up, or should USPSA issue guidelines on how to inform competitors of how the prize tables will run?

    Before we go down that road, I'm not advocating that USPSA make a rule on how to distribute prizes.

    What I'm suggesting is that on the registration form there should be guidance on how the prize table will run. For example, it would say, "Cash prizes to division winners, random prize draw, must be present to win." Or, "Prizes awarded in order of finish, if not present must appoint delegate to collect prize." Or, "Prizes awarded in order of finish within class (1st A, 1st B, 2nd A, 2nd B etc), must appoint delegate IN WRITING to collect prize."

    It's a little annoying to go to a match only to find out you scheduled your flight to take off a couple hours after the last stage, but it's a random prize table and you have to be present to win. It's also helpful when deciding on which matches to attend if you know the prize table is distributed in a way you think is fair to the competitors. In other words, D-C class folks might prefer to go to matches with random prizes and out of towners might not go to matches where you have to be present to win a prize. Not to mention, it can be really difficult at a match to find out exactly what the prize table policy is. Often no one but the MD seems to know, and he can be difficult to track down.

    I don't think there need to be complex rules about this stuff, but if USPSA is reviewing stages for acceptance as a level II match, it's probably a good idea to also issue guidance on what information to include in a registration form.

    You mean like this
