Here in the Pgh, pa area: between $28-$33/1k. When you can find them/ low stock. Recent gunshow had them for $37/1k.

Replying to the bold part above. And back to the original question. Is that the shooter returned and told the RO that he (the shooter) new it was a mike and was just seeing if the RO new the rules. I believe I posted this in the earlier part of the thread. That is where I would think it would be considered unsportsmanlike conduct. If he had kept that info to himself, then I would consider that gaming, or just asking for a call. Both, I consider acceptable. But when you return and say otherwise, well then..... Neither of those points are relevant to making a correct call. We don't have a different rule book for level I matches or classifier stages. Good point. Edit to add: I'm not looking to DQ a shooter every time someone questions a call. But I think in this case, where the shooter returned stating along the lines of what I had posted, I think that was being unsportsmanlike. I am not a certified NOIRO RO. Which is why I posted the question. It is a kind of a grey area.

I would say it falls under being "dishonest". But, I would think that in this case, it would be a pretty weak argurment to push for a DQ. As it wasn't at a classifier stage, and it was just a local match. I'll keep that in mind and tell my friend, that he could tell the shooter (if something similar happens) that being dishonest is a DQ'able offense. In this case it would have been inside that window. An hour is plenty of time to talk over the days events.

Well, my friend the RO in this case, didn't have his rule book with him and just gave in to the shooter. My friend has taken the ro class, but still doesn't know all the rules. Me either. I think XD Niner says it best.

Hey Pat. The unsportsman like conduct isn't with the questioning of the score. I agree with you that every competitor has that right. My contention is when that competitor returned and told the RO (my freind, who didn't have the rule book with him-he will now though ) that he knew it was as called and just asked for a challenge to see if he could get a better score. See what I mean? Everyone thanks for the replys, this is a cool forum. Rol.

My friend took the nroi (spelling?) class. I believe he is a level I cert. ro. Our Range master is also a cro, and he was familar with the touching the target ruling. But he was unsure about the unsportsmanlike conduct at the time I asked, which was well after the match.

Thanks for the reply Ed. It wasn't so much as to the touching of the targets, thanks for the clairification though. I see by the rule 10.6 then, my call would be more of a gray area then. I wholeheartedly agree with your last statement, that I highlighted.

A friend was telling me yesterday that he called a score on a target that was challenged. He touched the target, cardboard std, and the competetor said since he (friend) touched the target had to give him his call. My friend said he wasn't exactly sure of the rule, so he gave the competitor his improved score. (The call in question was a bravo/mike, competitor called it a bravo/bravo. While waiting for an overlay, he grabed the target. We talked to our local range master regarding this a day later, and found the friend was in error, that he, being the ro is allowed to touch the target.) But here is where my question comes in. The competitor came back later to my friend and said he knew it was a bravo/mike and just want to challenge it, and since he touched the target he got his way. The thing is, I have no problem with a competitor challenging a call, but when he returns and says the above, keeping in mind it was a level 3 match (just a local monthly match), and wheather it was even for a gaming advantage(I'm ok with that), I say he should've DQ'd him for unsportsmanlike conduct. The guy should've kept his reasons/rational to himself. Would that be correct?
