Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I like seeing good news about good folks.
  2. Only once did I fail to get back what I lent to other shooters. And he emailed me for my address and mailed the gear back. Most folks are good folk! It's the other few that seem to give the majority a bad rap.
  3. If only they could teach this in school...
  4. The same thing happened to my son while shooting the Nationals in 2009. He was a D shooter, but with only 3 shooters in that group, not even a mention. I understand the need to limited prizes to classes with only so many people, but a simple recognition during the final ceremony goes a long way to reward the efforts of shooters that did win their class. The lack of that recognition also goes a long way, by making a very poor impression of the national organization. I think recognition could be given in these cases, without giving a prize. They do it a the local level. Just a thought for ways to improve the impression that our younger shooters have of the organization. Dwight
  5. Because with one foot inside the fault line and touching inside would be a proceudural since they did not start outside the fault line as the original WSB stated. FYI...We already had an entire squad shoot the stage before my squad got there. But I do understand the WSB was a failure as written...and I will use "both feet touching the ground" on outside starts in the future. Thanks Flex. But here is the real question...Is the fault line considered part of the shooting area or inside the area, outside, or neutral? As some earlier have posted. I could not find any rule to base the answer on. 10.2.1 - A competitor who fires shots while any part of their body is touching the ground or while stepping on an object which is wholly beyond a shooting box or fault line. so, the box is part of the shooting area.
  6. He is just wonderful. Keep up the good work!!!
  7. I see the point. I missed this one. Thanks for the good explainations.
  8. Two Delta - it appears that the grease ring is touching the perf (line between scoring zones) on both. That is all that is required.
  9. Good point Thanks! I'd say you are fine there due to 5.5.2: 5.5.2 Spare magazines, speed loading devices or ammunition dropped or discarded by a competitor after the start signal may be retrieved, however, their retrieval is, at all times, subject to all safety rules.
  10. Just to add a little more fun... Consider a COF where you go prone and place extra mags or moon clips (for those wheelie guns) on the ground as you to get down to shoot. They are no longer in retention devices, 5.2.4 has been violated. The penalty is shooting for fun, not open and not a procedural. Am I seeing this correctly???
  11. Thanks to all. I have a few round that I need to put together and I will see if it works better. Dwight
  12. I have a 650XL and I have made several thousand rounds with it. But I have started having issues with my 45ACP rounds. The primers end up going in upside down or sideways. The sideways ones end up getting crushed in the pocket. During my last batch I have 8 out of 500 that were wrong. I am using Federal primers in new Starline brass. Can anyone point me to a possible solution? Thanks!!! Dwight
  13. The course was a lot of fun. There were no shots blocking the 4 paper doing just what you suggested. To ask my question a little better, If it was a medium course, "does having two ports on the same barricade, create two shooting locations?" Dwight
  14. Recently at a level 1, local USPSA pistol match, there was a course that consisted of a multi-port barricade (9 possible openings); 4 paper targets; 2 plate racks of 6 plates each and a 5 plate Texas star with one plate marked as a no-shoot for a total of 24 rounds. The barricade was approximately 4' wide and 4' tall. The COF said that each paper target and each plate rack must be taken from a different port on the barricade, the Texas star did not have to be shot through a port. The ports on the barricade were are different heights and could not be shot from a single stance. My question is does this satisfy 1.2.1.3 "... must not require more than 8 scoring hit from any single location or view,..." Does a different shooting stance create a different view? The discussions varied from "#@# NO!" to "Absolutely". Several participates are RO's, so this leads to the question being posted here. Thanks for your input. Dwight
  15. Just one thought about "drop in the front pocket". If you do that and are shooting production or single stack, you have an illegal position for a magazine and a trip to the wild side of Open division. I do this same procedure, but I put my extra mag in my back pocket.
