Just ordered it from amazon. Looking forward to it.
I finished it. Not as good as I had hoped. Sold it to another shooter so he could check it out.
I bought it for my Dad and he said those exact words. Gave it back to me. I have not started it yet.

Any further remarks about the competitors appearance will be deleted. C'mon guy's, grow up!

Gunsite and Thunder Ranch have little if any bearing on shooting IPSC.

how does a popper score power factor ? Any hit in the calibration zone is supposed to make the target fall.
Realistic ? targets stand behind trees all the time. Thats what the black stripes are simulating. Hard Cover. I think partial hardcover realistically is the norm more often than not,
You ever tried to knock one down with a .22?

How much torque is needed for stock bolts for bolt action rifles?
And is it different for rimfires?
About 60~65 INCH pounds for Remmy's. I have no idea if it's different for RF.

First time posting on Benos.
Great thread but now my cup is overflowing......
Welcome.
That's what we are here for!

All things being equal, I don't see why splits wouldn't be important. My splits are consistantly 11 ,12 with my G34 5-7yds.
When you consider how long it takes to do everything else, any time lost or gained in splits will be very hard to notice unless you have really slow splits.

I'm A class and I could not care less what my splits are.

I've gotten lax on the unload and show clear when ROing. I do not like the fast flip and catch. I've let guys get away with it. I do insist on a good view of the chamber after the flip and catch but...The possiblity of the ejector striking the primer with the slide facing up is greatly increased and safety is compromised. I intend to be more hard nosed this year. Just read the recent Front Sight article, that'll change your mind. As for the hand over the ejection port to catch the round rather than allowing it to fall to the ground, lightening will strike, not good. As RO's we need to insist on safer handling even for the very experienced competitors. The new guys will notice as well as everyone else on the squad.
You can not stop someone from flipping a round no matter how much you don't like it. I hate it as much as anyone but there is no rule against it.

3) Mix dummy rounds or Snap Caps at random at the range,
Don't bother with this. It is a huge waste of time and ammo.
Learn how to shoot your hold. In other words, don't make the gun fire when it crosses the spot you want to hit. Let it suprise you everytime.

Issuing a safety "warning" is different from cautioning about potential DQabl actions.
Issuing a safety "warning" is different from the same as cautioning about potential DQabl actions.
So where does it end?

safety warnings to a competitor at any time.

"Don't break the 180 on that target" vs "Finger".

You are right, I stand corrected. However, I do not need to be reminded of the rules during the reading of the WSB either.
If all the shooters were you (or the well read folks on this forum) then there would be less issues.
So where does it end?
Be careful of the 180 on that target over there. Keep your finger out of the trigger guard while reloading. Watch that port, it can hit you in the head. Don't trip and fall on that root. Be careful while reloading on that target to not break the 180. Don't shoot the ground closer than 10 feet from your feet. Do not cross the fault line when shooting that steel. Etc, etc...
As soon as you start down that road, someone will do something that was not on your list of "Gotchas" then complain that you didn't warn them.
If I beat you because I know the rules better than you, go do some reading. It ain't about "Gotcha".
Huh... are you talking about "beating" somebody ?? If you see this as a competitive issue, then we can't discuss it.
If you would rather send somebody home or see them get injured, when a simple heads-up might prevent that...well within the rules...then we aren't ever going to see eye to eye.
OK.
Take that sentence out then. It's still not about "Gotcha".

Do you adjust a popper you know is getting heavy, or wait until it fails to fall for a shooter, and then let them try their luck at calibration?
What does that have to do with safety warnings on the WSB?

I don't need the rule book read to me at make ready.
LOL...ironically...how about the thread title then? The topic isn't about what happens at "make ready."

If it is a safety concern...something we DQ for...then it is a safety concern. It needs to be mentioned, one way or another.
Playing a bit of Devil's Advocate, why?
We provide rulebookls to members one way or the other, online or hardcopy, why do we need to repeat what is already in the rulebook?
Now for a Level 1 match, yeah put me in coach as you will always have new folks who do not know the rules.
At Level 2 and above, why do we need to tell folks to not break the 180, or sweep their hand, or shoot a round over the berm, or any of the other multitude of things that can get you DQ'd?
Putting helmet on at this time.
Really?
It's not about the rules. It's about somebody going home with an extra hole in them!!
If we observe something that has become a safety issue (which we DQ for)...something that is overlooked but is happening to those that aren't readily aware of it...it needs mentioned.
If not, you can take the timer and I'll go home.
We aren't issuing DQ's because of competitive equity. We issue them because there are legit safety concerns involved.
I would think that if it is a safety issue of such importance that it needs to be brought to the shooters attention then it should be fixed and it is no longer a safety issue. Shooters want freestyle, that includes their actions. After all they control every aspect of their actions.
When we set up draws on the 180 we fail the shooter. When we set targets at the 180 we fail the shooter. When we make the shooter get into unsafe positions, we fail the shooter. Putting bandaids on the failure of the staff by warning them of a safety issue we caused, is the easy way out, IMO.

I agree Gary. Kinda like "Do you understand the course of fire?".
-
When using a kit, does anybody know if the safety needs to be refitted to the new sear? Or are sear dimensions generally the same such that if the safety worked correctly with the old sear, it should work just find with the drop in replacement?
Maybe... probably not...

My understanding is that they used the Lim-10 stats for the initial high percentage.
