Shooting Area Steel Challenge match in April. Any good motels nearby? TIA.

As a USPSA CRO with SC endorsement, I just got back from running Pendulum at the WSSC this year. The biggest hassle I had was rimfire competitors not being familiar with the range commands. To the point that they wanted to argue what the correct command should be! Another problem with some is keeping their hands off their long guns while closing the bag's zipper. The range command thing got so bad; we had a pre stage briefing to go over them! The last thing is to keep your finger off the trigger while clearing a malfunction (just because it's a 22 doesn't mean it's not dangerous). The email training videos that NROI puts out would really help the average SCSA competitor understand the rules better (Jodi, you do would do well with this).

Yes. Worth the wait. The uploading of time to the tablet really saved a bunch of time during the scoring.

Just got done RO'ing this year's PCC Nationals. Used a AMG timer for all squads that came through our bay (Stage 5). Never missed a shot! I was so impressed with it, I ordered one today for myself.

Central Florida Rifle and Pistol Club cancelled all matches until 30 April. This includes the Ladies Day event that was to be held on 4 April.

I’ve heard it’s possible to load 223 on a 550 using the 550 casefeeder. If so, what would I need?

Extended mag releases are shipping. Got mine yesterday. It's been on order since May.

At major matches, I have two overlays attached to a lanyard I wear around my neck. Instant access!

WHERE ELSE CAN YOU SHOOT A REVOLVER MATCH WHILE B 52'S TAKEOFF OVER YOUR HEAD!

Has anyone used the Glock 33 mag along with the new Taylor Freelance Goliath extension with a JP GMR15?
I've shot two matches with my JP GMR 13 using these extensions with zero problems. They have become my favorite.

I got mine yesterday. Well made.

When I said the same locked case as the firearm, I was referring to the hardsided locked case the gun is in. I routinely ship both in the same suitcase.
-
Whoa! Those boxes can’t be used to transport ammo on an airplane. Each round has to have an individual place separated from the other rounds in the box. Think factory ammo boxes, not bulk packed. Ammo can’t be shipped in the same locked case as the firearm is shipped in. Check with your airline’s baggage policies prior to showing up at the airport. I fly a lot to matches with guns and ammo and it’s easy, as long as you follow the rules.

Extra shot is earned at the line of fire. Extra hit is earned at the target.

Registration for this year’s IRC opens today in PractiScore.

Thinking of replacing my stock handguard with something that’s lighter. Any recommendations?

Looks like next year’s Area Six Championship has been moved from Florida to Oklahoma!

Just bought a MBX mega extension. Holds 57 rounds. Ran flawless today at CFRPC USPSA Match.

Want to blow your mind? Start talking about par time stages and total time scoring! LOL!

That's it. Write good stage descriptions and all of these problems go away.

ICORE has two types of courses of fire. Shots Limited or Shots Unlimited. It doesn't have any rules specifically governing steel challenge type stages. It has rules (6.6.10. Failure to hit a Stop Plate and 6.6.5.1. Covering FTE's on a steel-only stage) that apply to steel challenge type stages, but doesn't have a rule governing what a steel challenge stage is. Find an example in the rules that allows throwing out the worst string. You won't. That being said, the BOD didn't want to enact rules to govern steel challenge type stages. The idea is to give Match Directors total control over them. You won't find a rule that says hitting the stop plate ends the string. You will find a rule that allows shooters to fire right up to the issuance of "If clear, close cylinder,holster". So what happens if a shooter missed a plate but hit the stop plate afterwards? Did the string stop when the stop plate was hit or can he take a makeup shot prior to "If clear, close cylinder, holster"? That's why the wording of Chapter 2 that covers the stage being explained by a complete written stage description is so important to these stages. I hope this explains my rationale more completely.
-
Emphasis on written stage description. There are no other rules governing steel challenge type stages in ICORE. Match Directors have a free hand determining when the clock stops. They can choose when the plate is hit initially or at last shot.
-
Earlier this year, proposed rule changes were brought before the board to codify Steel Challenge type stages and par time stages. The rule book has penalties that cover overtime shots and failure to hit a stop plate. It was decided not to adopt these changes so as to give Match Directors flexibility in stage design. Review Capter 2 " The course of fire will be explained to the shooters by a complete written description of the course of fire and/or a walk through from the Range Officer." 4.3. Requires stages and their descriptions must be set up clearly. Make things easy to understand.
It is up to the Match Director to specify in the Written Stage Briefing when the time stops.
