You can't have a Comstock stage with strings of fire......
That would be a standard exercise, no? At least by my reading of the rulebook.....
Oops, I was thinking you could have a comstock standards stage. Thank you!
1.2.2.1 Standard Exercises - Courses of fire consisting of two or more separately timed component strings. Scores, with any penalties deducted, are accumulated on completion of the course of fire to produce the final stage results. Standard Exercises must only be scored using Virginia Count or Fixed Time. The course of fire for each component string may require a specific shooting position, procedure and/or one or more mandatory reloads. Standard Exercises must not require more than 24 rounds to complete. Component strings must not require more than 6 rounds (12 rounds if a mandatory reload is specified).

So on a Virginia count stage, choosing to make up a shot is considered stacking?
This would mean a penalty for the extra shot, one for an extra hit if there is one, plus one for stacking?
While it doesn't explicitly state it in the rules, stacking only applies when you have targets that must be addressed in separate strings and when you put extra shots on one target and too few on another. It also does not only apply to Virginia count stages.
If the stage description said, "Virginia Count. String 1: From Box A engage T1-T3 with exactly one round each. String 2: From Box B engage T1-T3 with exactly one round each"
1. If you shot 1-2-1 in string one....Extra Shot (extra hits, if there, get called after the shooting is over)
2. if you shot 1-2-0 in string one....Stacking (extra hits, if there, ....)
If the stage description said, "Comstock. String 1: From Box A engage T1-T3 with at least two rounds each. String 2: From Box B engage T1-T3 with at least two rounds each"
(could be the case when T1 is a difficult shot from Box B and T3 is difficult from Box A)
1. If you shot 4-2-0 in string one that would earn a stacking penalty (with the implication that you did it so you could shoot 0-2-4 on string two).
2. If you shot 4-2-2 in string one and 2-2-2 in string two, no penalty.
3. If you shot 4-2-2 in string one and 0-2-2 in string two, one penalty for not following the WSB.

Thanks, Bret!

I have not used TF but with TT and Arredondo I have found that when it feels as if a spring has caught on something and prevents me from loading more I hold the mag in my right hand with my thumb pressing down firmly on the top round and bang the basepad onto my left hand. Usually a time or two is all it takes to jar it loose and allow me to continue loading.
again, not familiar with TF but I also check to see if the base pad is pushed too far forward or backward.

You guys realize how far off topic this is?
I almost feel guilty for bumping it over the edge into the abyss!

The only time you have to put it back into a decocked state is if you decide to reholster a hot weapon during the course of fire. Stage design must never require that and good stage design should never tempt you to do so but you are allowed as long as it is in the same condition as described in 8.1.2,
Edited to add: I went back and found the exact wording of that.
8.2.5 A course of fire must never require the competitor to re-holster a handgun after the start signal. However, a competitor may re-holster provided this is accomplished safely, and the handgun is either unloaded or in a ready condition stated in Section 8.1. -
Arredondo won't work with SSS magwell. Not sure if they will work with any magwell.

I prefer to run the extra power striker springs in all of mine.
Oops, looks like they are out of stock.

I don't think I've been to a match with more than one RM. I thought it was like Highlander...
In the
endUSPSA, there can be only one (RM)! -
Believe it or not, this was discussed here back when single stack came into being. I remember that Gary Stevens had an opinion. But, I don't care enough to search...
Please do, as I can't remember what it was:)
I searched all of Gary's posts and while he does talk about bathrooms and porta-potties *A LOT* I didn't find any references that were related to DQs.

Negative....you only rule on what you know and, unless you're porta-potty-cam is running, you don't know what happened in there.

So, according to 9.4.5.2, if the shooter in question was making up a D zone hit on the first target and hit the A zone with his second shot, he would be assessed 2 procedurals? 1 for the extra shot (counted at the end of the cof) and 1 for the extra hit on the 1st target (however he would get A zone points?
Am I reading that correctly?
Alex
Exactly!

If someone asks to see the rules used to make the above decisions:
10.2.2.1 Procedural penalties for failure to comply with stage procedures do not apply to the number of shots fired. Penalties for firing insufficient or additional shots are addressed in other rules and must not be penalized under the provisions of 10.2.2.
...and...
9.4.5 In a Virginia Count Course of Fire or a Fixed Time Course of Fire:
9.4.5.1 Extra shots (i.e. shots fired in excess of the number specified in a component string or stage), will each incur one procedural penalty. Additionally, during scoring, no more than the specified number and highest scoring hits will be awarded.
9.4.5.2 Extra hits (i.e. hits on the scoring area of scoring paper targets in excess of the total number specified in the stage), will each incur one procedural penalty. Note that hits on hard cover and/or no-shoots are not treated as Extra Hits. -
I only notice the reset in the gun store.

I don't remember where I read it but it came from an instructor that you should try to use level ground but that you always measure target height from where the target is, not from the intended shooting position. So even if there is a 2 foot rise to where the targets are, if it says 5' at the shoulders it should be 5' at the shoulders where the target is.

It can be.

I must admit you guys sure argue politely!
I disagree!

I have seen several ejector fires, & it just isn't worth the risk to look cool. One was a blown up gun, & another needed a Careflight ride to remove shrapnel. But I'd never be a d**ck to someone that does it.
Thankfully I have never seen one. Are they more likely when covering the ejection port with your hand and slowly racking the slide or when quickly ejecting it up into (hopefully) the air?

Side bar, I am going to R.O. class this spring. It is painful, 1.5 days of classroom + travel & lodging + 1/2 day range time + course and material fees + it is a similar pita for the club that puts the course on. Seems like a stone age way to do things (computer instruction for college level courses has been going on since the 1980's).
I'd be willing to bet you say differently afterwards. It will likely be one of your best weekends of the year. You will learn more than you expected and likely make a few friends during the process.

Welcome back, Bob!
Wish I had known about this in the 80s.

Made from a welding rod but the same could be done with a coat hanger.

As an RO, if someone tells me they think they just had a squib, my response is, "Stop".
I would certainly be paying closer attention to them afterwards if it turned out to not be a squib. If I thought they were trying to cheat, on subsequent occurrences I would only stop them if I heard it.
I don't think the rule needs to change.
Since I have heard this a couple of times recently, as an RO, I will be carrying my squib checker with me from now. As a competitor, if you're worried about it happening, you should carry one, too.
I have seen someone check for a squib by locking the slide back, pointing the gun slightly downward, and dropping a small rock into the chamber to see if it fell out the front of the barrel.

Hey, did I read somewhere that Timmie, until the time of his 15 minutes of fame, was just a regular guy? A plumber if I read correctly...
Timmy was not actually a plumber. He used that excuse to explain the remnants of an accident he had when the buzzer went off.

Soak it in peroxide
I tried that. Now my gun is blond and doesn't get my jokes.

I've never heard of that. Do you have another M&P that you can swap parts with to try to isolate it?
