And what rule do you cite for that? Or have you had this local rule approved by NROI?Our club rule is if u don't help tear down then they will zero all ur stages

The ToC and Index are your friends.

Nice. The options for order of engagement are huge. I do not know if 5 minutes would be enough time to find the best route with so many targets available while moving and still needing to hit all positions. Am I correct that you cannot get all of the steel from one location?
you should be able to get the two right steel from the right side of the ported wall. that's the only place the right PP would be visible. the left PP is visible from the port and all but the right PP are visible from the furthest downrange part of the stage.
-
Nice. Any issues with the three right targets and the 180 from the far forward and right corner?
shouldn't be. the 3rd and 2nd to last targets are beyond the rearmost fault line and the last one is "behind" the wall that's perpendicular to the ported wall.
-
Thats pretty sweet. That far popper only looks visible though the port too. intentional?
the far right popper should only be visible from the right side of the ported wall.

In my humble opinion, the Ready Tactical Drop/Offset is the best Production holster on the market. Get it from Chris Patty @ http://www.cpwsa.com

Glockworx sells the springs and the adapter.I realize this thread is a few years old, but can anyone recommend where to get a 13# spring for my Gen 4 34 ? Also I believe I need an "adapter" of some sort ?? Any info is appreciated.
Thanks !

the easiest thing i've come up with is to always ensure you are on the red or green axis when you're dragging objects.

Typical standing on marks, downrange, loaded & holstered. Obviously the WSB would be better than my brief, lazy description.

right click explode and/or right click make unique.
shortening/lengthening walls is a little more tricky than faultlines because they're not as thick.

As a new USPSA shooter. (been to two shoots) I think this is a good point. I have been shooting an area not a point.
Thanks.
On a similar topic, am I the only one who'd like a visible dot on the center of the A zone ?
how are you going to keep that visual dot after it's shot out?

IHMSA rules do not apply to USPSA, at the speed we move and shoot IHMSA legal shooting positions are unsafe for USPSA.Appears a number of you never were in/saw any IHMSA matches.
If he doesn't sweep himself then who are you to determine whether the guy is "unsafe" shooting supine?
Even disregarding my opinion that stopping supine shouldn't even legally be considered an FA, I'd like to point quickly at 2.3.1.1 d.
2.3.1.1 In lieu of modifying course design or physical construction, a
Range Master may explicitly forbid certain competitor actions in
order to maintain competitive equity.
a. Declaration of a Forbidden Action may be made to prohibit
competitor movement which is likely to result in an unsafe
condition or to prohibit exploit of an unintended course loop-
hole in order to circumvent a course requirement and/or gain
unfair competitive advantage.
b. The declaration of a Forbidden Action cannot be used as a
means of compelling or limiting competitor movement within a
course of fire (e.g., to prevent a shooter from “cutting the cor-
ner” on an L-shaped shooting area). Except as provided in
Rule 1.1.5.1, a course designer wishing to compel or limit
competitor movement must do so using target placement,
vision barriers and/or physical barriers.
c. Subject to 2.3.1.1(a) and (
, an area of the range floor may bedeclared off limits. The area must be clearly delineated with
Off-Limits Lines (Rule 2.2.1.3). Crossing an Off Limits Line is
considered a Forbidden Action.
d. Any Forbidden Action or Off Limits Area must be specified in
the Written Stage Briefing (See Rules 2.3.3 and 3.2.3).

What does that GIF have to do with "proper form?"Getting in to better shape will help you out.
As someone that also dropped 50 pounds, not only do I feel better physically, but mentally as well.
I agree on the Plyometrics and if crossfit does it for you then great. But be careful, to many times crossfit take a dump on proper form and you can really jack your self up.
Case and point. When you see someone doing this in the gym you will cringe.

This was a level 2 match.. The shooter can always ask for assistance.
Really?
8.6.1 No assistance of any kind can be given to a competitor during a course of fire, except that any Range Officer assigned to a stage may issue safety warnings to a competitor at any time. Such warnings will not be grounds for the competitor to be awarded a reshoot.
8.6.2.1 When approved by the Range Officer, competitors at Level I
matches may, without penalty, receive whatever coaching or
assistance they request.

Respectfully, this is as asinine of a question as asking if you can shoot a stomp box...
-
No one can say for sure but the shooter and the RO but I don't think that's even relevant (which is part of my argument).can you say with certainty that the shooter did not press the trigger? the rules (10.4.3) clearly state if the guns fires a shot during a reload, its a DQ. the subsequent full auto-fire is another matter altogether. Both RO's on that stage as well as other competitors clearly said and heard Stop before the shooter went into the port.
I think you're right on the "stop" call. It was just that the shooter didn't react to it until that point.

This was the subject of a significant discussion at a recent match and I figured I'd pose the question as a squad mate and not a staff member.
The shooter is moving between two shooting positions. There are no targets that can be engaged between the two positions. He's completing the reload and, as he seats the mag, a shot goes off. Before the RO can get "STOP" out the shooter is into the next shooting position and the gun triples (or maybe doubles followed by what would have been a second but is a third intentional shot).
RO stop him, calls over the RM and the RM issues a DQ for AD.
The shooter was going to arbitrate based on the fact that his finger was not on the trigger and, as evidenced by the triple at the next shooting position, his gun is obviously broken.
Arguments made during the discussion between spectators, match staff, shooters, etc were that since he did not press the trigger then he did not AD and should be DQd.
Thoughts?
As a note, the DQ stood and the shooter chose not to arbitrate. I didn't speak to him as to what specifically swayed his decision but when I gave my input he seemed to still want to arb.
-
Surely you jest.What if the shooter isn't moving?
his finger moved! He had to move to get the gun in position. Don't over devil it....
You gonna DQ a guy for a late (or early) shot during a transition between two targets because he was "moving?"
-
There was a squib AT "stop." As evidenced by the bullet falling out of the barrel AFTER stop and obviously not only by the power of the powder propulsion.
No reshoot IMO.
-
Wow. That's all I can really say. What a fantastic facility. Fantastic ROs. Fantastic stages. Thanks, everyone!

I'll be hitting the road in about 6.5 hours. See y'all around lunch time.
-
I imagine it's mainly for more weight out front and an extended sight radius.

By some insane stroke of luck, I made it into the match. See y'all this weekend!
